I've been running marshmallow since the update came out and just now realizing that when I clear an app default it doesn't work.
I noticed that the way you clear defaults is now different than how lollipop was.
I went to settings>applications>application manager then the app and clicked on set as default and clicked on clear defaults. The app now says not set as default.
The problem is that it still being used as a default. I've tried other apps and same thing. I've tried clearing cache and data and same thing. The only way I found was to uninstall the app.
Is this a known issue? Or is there a different way to reset the default apps?
I am using the tmobile variant if that helps.

I recently picked up a droid w/2.2 and when I goto manage the applications and in the section where you have the option to "clear defaults" evey single app and I've checked, the option is grayed out . Now there is only one I really want to change but for the life of me I can't ( stock messaging for handcent). So any one have any insight as to why they are all this way?
Anyone? I've searched here and the web and I can't find anything
over 222 views and nothing...
Maybe the reason you can't clear defaults is because it hasn't been set as a default for anything.
Did you even install the Handcent SMS App before trying to clear defaults for the stock Mms app?
Yes I did install Handcent, as well other apps and there is no effect to either the stock app or the app that Ive downloaded and installed to repace it.
Ive even gone as far as re-flashing, factory wipe, ect...thinking it was a bad build and still no effect
When I go to Market -> My Apps I only get a bout one screen of installed apps - some free, some paid. This only started happening a couple of days ago. I've tried force closing the Market, clearing cache, and clearing data but no luck.
Anyone know what the problem could be? I'm running stock Froyo.
Go to Market and load SGS Tools. Run the marketfix tool and possibly the marketrestore script. Worth a shot.

This has happened to me a few times and I thought that I had gone into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market and pressed Clear Data and it worked. But you mentioned this didn't work for you. Did you clear data the same as I described?
Yeah. I just did it again for kicks and now all my apps showed up (and a bunch of updates). I guess second time's a charm.
Thanks!

Had that issue last night, but I did this immediately and it straightened up. I just think it is a Market hiccup.
Thanks, it works in GS2 as well
I tried searching because I thought I'd seen the answer to my problem before but I came up empty so I apologize if this has been asked and I missed it.
I did a data wipe on my phone today to see if it'd clear up some issues I was having. After the wipe non of my apps from the play store are showing up, regardless of free or purchased, the only thing that comes up is the preloaded apps.
What's the trick to get the play store to refresh and load my apps?
I tried to restore the backup I made before the wipe but it fails to reload.
Wiping data will remove your downloaded apps. Open the Play Market, hit menu, "my apps" and you'll see a list of everything you currently have downloaded/installed. Swipe over and you'll find the list of everything you've purchased and downloaded recently (free or not).

Thanks, I didn't realize it did that.
I thought there was a way to get it to reload most of the apps automatically but this will have to do.
I appreciate the help.
Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks
You'd probably get more help if this was in the Q&A section.

Man, I'm confused. I have no idea what happened. The group part is totally omitted from mine. I've tried to reinstall the app, but can't get very far without root. Thank you for the screenshot. At least I know that the setting isn't just hidden in the Ota update.
Have you tried the reset settings to default option? Or clearing the data for the messaging app?

Yeah, done both. One thing someone just said in another thread, isit may be carrier dependent, and the OTA update hides the setting unless your carrier supports it. Being as I have only played with the phone on wifi just to make sure I am happy with it and don't want to return it,(as it is a christmas present ) I'm starting to wonder if that is my problem. I have no sim installed, so the settings may be hidden until you pop a sim in and the phone recognizes that your carrier supports it.
Just moments ago I got a forced OTA update from Samsung. Big one 2.5 gigs.
Went through and everything seems to be working perfect, except I can't get into my settings app.
The moment I tap it closes immediately.
Things I've done:
Cleared Settings App cache and Data. Restarted. Cleared Phone Cache from Boot Menu. Uninstalled Playstore updates. Tried a different launcher.
If I have to do a factory reset that's fine, but I would prefer not to. Anyone have any ideas?
