I'm having issues with some apps not remembering their settings. It's almost like the app has been reset.
The one with the problem most often is the stock camera app. When I go into it, it asks me repeatedly if I want to turn on geo tagging and whatever else it pops up even though I select to not ask again. The other day, Play did about the same thing. I had auto updates and update notifications turned off, and it randomly popped up that I had apps needing approval to update. I checked the settings and it reactivated the options to auto update (risking blowing out my data cap since I'm not always on Wi-Fi) and notifications.
So I just got a HTC One and discovered that HTC messaging doesn't remember the contact images.
So I decided to use Google Hangouts instead. All was fine until I decided to send a photo. When I choose the default app to pick the photo and hit "always" it somehow doesn't remember my selection.
Hit the camera, choose send photo, then the popup shows up of using photos, gallery, etc. I choose photos and hit always.
I know that iPhone is supposed to remember a network and password with successful login, however...mine is not. It is an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1. It is very frustrating to enter the password for my home network EVERY time.
I've set options for many apps (like to always allow the network access, to ask for reading user data the first time, etc.), but when I start the app, those options are not in effect. As one specific example, for Opera Mini, I set the option to always allow network access. But when I start this app and choose to open a link, it asks for the network access. Same for reading the user data. I checked the settings in the App Manager and they're fine, but just not in effect. I restarted the phone; still the same thing. The settings are present there alright, just not working. What else can be done to tell the phone to use the options set through the App Manager?
WP8 appears to completely lack the most basic Audiobook functioanlity. No seek/skip in audio or video? No bookmarking or remembering location in files?! I mean... I would like to see more advanced functionality specific to Audiobooks but these types of features are very useful for all sorts of media. The Nokia app doesn't even FFW or rewind through audio/video!
The Audible app is pretty great but I can't seem to figure out a way to use it to play any of the hundreds of older audiobooks I've created myself from my personal auiobook CD/Casette collection. I can't imagine what I'd do if I still needed to go through recorded lectures.
Is there any way to save the USB connection type when plugging the phone to the PC? Specifically MTP. I'm on the Verizon variant, unrooted.
Right now, when I plug it in, it comes up with "Connected as installer" and the Verizon Mobile cd drive thing gets mounted. If I wait it out or if I manually go into the phone and swipe down notifications to change the type to Media device (MTP), the phone mounts. Problem is, the next time i plug in the phone again, I have to either wait it out again or select MTP again. Is there a way to save it to the MTP option? First time on a Samsung phone and not sure if it was just like this since the beginning of time or what.
If I return to a Wifi zone that my Lumia 920 was previously connecting to I cannot get it to "remember" or automatically re-link to the same access point. My notebook & iPad does this without any intervention. I need to restart the Lumia 920 to get it linked.
I'm not sure if this is a settings issue or if it is a Gingerbread issue. My phone no longer remembers servers (In shared folders). I now have to browse for servers or type in sever name each time I connect to my home wifi.
When I open the phone app, I want it to display the keypad/dialer by default. This is how it worked on my S3. Is there a way to change this setting? If not, any recommendations for a replacement phone app?
It seems silly to me that this is not the default behavior already. If I initiate opening the phone app, vs answering a call, it is most likely because I want to phone someone. Instead, the app seems to open to whatever you were doing last (viewing the call log, favorites, contacts). I shouldn't have to press an additional key to get to the dialer. It's a PHONE app for goodness sakes!
I just purchased the Evo4G yesterday and I've been messing with it and I have to say, I freakin' LOVE it! However, I'm not sure if this is an option or not, but I do notice that the screen always defaults to widescreen view when I go from the home page to messages; however, that option is by disabled in my settings. I'll tilt around the phone and shake it around and it will randomly switch the messages screen upright, not widescreen. I want it to automatically know which position the phone is in to adjust the screen to it but it fails to do.
I have recently installed the major software release for my N8 (sorry, don't know how to get the version number, but it was the one that needed to be done via a computer). I quite like all the stuff, but for the calendars something is doing my head in. Every time I set a new calendar meeting (which I use often as reminders) it defaults to use the PUBLIC calendar instaed of PRIVATE or NONE, and it defaults the reminder to go off 15 minutes before the event.
I have loaded Ovi Maps 3.03 on my N86 and all seems to be working with the exception that there is no Align Map to Route selection, only default operation of Align Map North. I always used Align Map to Route in the older versions when not navigating and prefer this to always having maps align to north. I found that the compass always starts off and to turn the compass on I need to press the 5 key (the Align map north key) to turn Align to North off and enabe the compass, but this doesn't help when in a car as the compass does not function correctly in a car.Is anyone else seeing the same issues on other phones or is this just an issue with the N86 for which Maps 3.03 isn't released yet?I certainly hope future versions allow for a default selection of either Align Maps North or Align Maps to Route (when not navigating) as well as a seperate selection for defaulting (and selecting) Compass On or Compass Off.
I've searched and searched for the answer to this and can't find a satisfactory answer, so here goes. I'm trying to set up a POP3 email account on BIS but it always defaults to IMAP. I've tried solutions such as leaving the password blank so that I can manually enter the settings, but it still defaults to IMAP. The POP3 settings are correct, and I've used them for Outlook, etc.
In places with not very good reception (1-3 bars) of T-Mobile EDGE, my phone seems to be defaulting to AT&T and thus I get SOS. But I know service exists, since I've tested other phones in the same location, even another 9700. For example, we were sitting side by side today, he was getting 3 bars of EDGE while mine was sitting on SOS. We switched spots and still same deal.It happens whether I choose Automatic or Manual carrier selection, or just 2G or 3G and 2G. Does it sound most like a software issue, hardware issue, or SIM card issue?
I have a Blackberry curve 8300 that I have decommissioned. However, I left some data on it that requires recovery. Funny things is I forgot the password. I do have a backup of the data so I all need to do is figure or get told how to set the device to factory defaults so I can reload the system with the application that is storing the data I need.
Whenever my device (Nexus 5, Android 6.0) connects via USB, the USB config always defaults to "charging only".This is a big problem since whenever I'd like to listen mp3 connecting nexus 5 to my car stereo I have to manually set the mode to MTP.The big annoyance is that whenever I turn off the car engine and then restart it the nexus 5 USB connection go back to "charging only" !!!I already tried debugging mode: Develop settings -> USB Configuration is set to MTP.Any chance to set USB default as MTP?
When I click a phone number from the gmail App, a pop up occurs asking me to select a dialer. I pick a dialer and select always. Next time when I again click on a phone number in gmail App it shows the popup with different dialer options again. For some reason it's not saving the application defaults.
Due to much meddling of my own my N900 is now in a very interesting (mostly usable) state. I was wondering if there is a simple way I can attach my device to my computer and restore it to factory defaults (software wise). Reflashing the device does [i]not[/i] restore all default settings. I want to remove all user added/edited files as well as restore the default partition layout of the device.
My N73 has been slow for some time, so I've been browsing these pages for a solution. This is what I've done so far: -
I changed my log history to one dayI moved all contacts and messages to my memory cardI reset the phone to factory defaults (my code was 11111 as default btw, not 12345 as suggested).
After powering up my newly restored handset I'm saddened to say that it's just as slow as before and is driving me nuts! Does anybody have any other ideas I could try?
i was running nimbuzz on my N78 and all of a sudden the phone hang. On restarting, my phone memory was restored to defaults ie no contacts, no messages, calender is empty. The haze effect is not working as it should be and the wifi keeps dropping the connection.
I reset my iPhone to factory settings and all went well. However, before I did so, I forgot that I had put it in airplane mode and didn't switch it out. Airplane mode is still on and there's no way to get it out. What's the big deal? Well it's trying to reactivate my phone and it won't activate it without the antennas on...and I can't get to the Settings to disable Airplane mode because it's in that iOS 5 initial set up. I can't get past it at all to?How can I get this Airplane mode disabled so it can activate? I tried activating through iTunes and it didn't work. It is not jailbroken or anything.
Yesterday run my battery empty and tattoo switched off. When I was home and inserted the loading cable and started the device, it was resetted to factory defaults. All contacts, adjustments and apps gone!
This was reported on another forum but I want to place it here as a bookmark for anyone at Moto trying to perfect the GB package. I noticed the camera after update defaults to the widescreen mode and even if another setting is made once the camera is exited and re-entered it returns back to the widescreen mode. I prefer to use 5MP camera mode as a default, hopefully this bug can be eliminated on any new release.
After I have connected my 5230 to my computer using the USB cable (definatley in Mass Media / Storage mode) , the next time I open messages after the cable has been removed I get a pop-up telling me the selected memory is not available and defaulting back to the phone memory (I have the momory card set as the message memory).
Just got a nexus 5. I switched the location settings to battery saver but if I turn off location it defaults back to high accuracy mode when I turn it back on which drains my battery quickly.
I have a Nexus 5 running 5.0.1 and the issue is that every time I switch my phone on the ringer volume is off, as in silent.
I usually forget to turn it back up until lunchtime by which time I've usually missed a couple of calls.
For the life of me I can't find where to set the default ringer volume. I've played with Settings>Sound&Notification until I'm blue in the face. Ring volume is on full. Power off and on again and it's back to 0.
Once or twice a month, when I unlock my phone I have the white apple with the progress bar below it out of nowhere. All my settings are turned back to factory defaults. Did the full restore and all but sooner or latter it does it again.
When I'm in an application that tries to open up a web URL (Google+, Twitter, other apps), I get prompted to "Complete action using" Browser, Firefox, or Opera Mini.I click the check box saying "Use by defauly for this action", but every time I click a link, I get the same prompt.On some URLs, when it redirects, I will get the message popping up three times in a row.I went to home -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> Browser and "Launch by default" says that I have "selected to launch this application bt default for some actions", but I can't see what they are. Shall I just try clicking the "Clear defaults" button there, then reassociating Browser?
I have a 5800XM phone and I had apps from OVI that I downloaded. I restored it to factory defaults and updated firmware which were both successful. However, now I can't download apps from OVI that I have downloaded before the restoration to factory defaults. I can download other apps from OVI fine. Only the apps that I previously downloaded have the "Download" button disabled or grayed out.
