The old build.prop edit method for restoring the default app associations functionality that HTC nerfed doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Is anyone aware of a proper app associations fix so we can get that popup back instead of having to set up these defaults ahead of time?
Thanks.
I'm looking for the answer to this also

Go to setting ----> applications----> then open option (3 points in upper right corner) ----> then clear all app preferences.
Or if you went specific app to clear its association so go to this app in (setting/applications) then click on "clear all actions by default" in this app.
Thanks

Brand new phone, maybe I made a mistake on setup but doubt it. Why is gmail not my default email upon clicking 'email dev' in the play store, instead it goes to my yahoo pop accounts?
Thanks.

Open your regular mail app(NOT the gmail app, but make sure you are on your gmail account obviously), then click on the "menu" button, then click "settings", then click "general settings", and then you'll see a check box that says "make default account"
No luck. Clearing defaults button appeared to initially work until I tested it, no prompt for action, went straight to yahoo. Second option didn't work either, general settings for mail shows a greyed out checkmark for default app and does not allow me to uncheck it, no option for default in gmail.

Mine is set to "compose mail" under app associations. I dont use the gmail app so I didnt check the compose gmail option. The way I suggested earlier should have worked for you. Thats really weird. Did you do the same steps I listed for your other email accounts to make sure that one of them wasnt checked off as the default account?
Either way, as long as your problem is resolved its all good. Im just curious as to why the other way wouldnt work.

Glad I could help. HTC made that menu to get around the Apple patent issue
I'm sorry to be asking such a basic question but I can't figure it out.
I've reflashed to 4.1.2 today, and was messing about with settings. Now when I press to change default ringtone/notification it takes me too es file explorer. How can I change this so it takes me back to standard list?
Thanks in advance

Go to menu, settings, applications, all applications. And find ES file explorer and clear defaults.
If this doesn't work then you need to find the app that you set to default. I think its android system.
Again clear defaults.
This problem arises when you set an app as the default program to be run when you want to run a certain protocol or set something.
So for instance, if you have two web browsers installed and then you open a link, the system asks you do you want to set one as default always and you choose one and set it, then every time you open another link, that browser would be used from then onwards.
All you have to do is fine the app within applications and remove the defaults .
Hope this helps

I currently have 3 hidden apps, but I do not see anyway to unhide them. Google says to scroll down the menu bar but its only 5 options and I am just stuck, does anyone know how to do this on the htc one x+?
edit:
here is what I have tried, going to the hide app menu and seeing if i could uncheck the app, it doesnt show up but has a counter as if it is still hidden.
I have tried scrolling past the last page to see if the apps showed up and they still have not.
I have tried to see if there was an option under my settings > app > (hidden app's name) and there is no option

Just tested hiding an app. Ok.
To unhide an app click menu hide app. Scroll to the end of the list and it should be there.

thank you soo much, i feel stupid now.
Is this possible, is there a way to configure which shortcuts are there. I'd love to get a gps short cut as I use it regularly when running.

Requires Root.
Applies the same for One X+. However there are some toggles that don't have an icon so they will have a white tile. ATM There is no way to fix that.
I'm wondering where the settings shortcut widget is. I used to use it all the time on my Note 2, and Google searches aren't helping. Does this not exist anymore? =(

I don't have a widget for it. But there is a shortcut under apps that you could drag to the desktop. It's in one of the folders I forget which (maybe the sprint or samsung ones) as I've moved a bunch of things around on my phone.
However I am completely stock still and definitely have the shortcut in my app drawer.

So did they take that feature off? I really like being able to access the Bluetooth and WiFi setting by clicking on an icon (made by settings widget).
