You can approach this several different ways. One, you can uninstall or disable the app you don't use. Two, you can use the Clear Defaults settings for both apps. Three, you can download one of those default app managers from the Play store (search "default apps"). Good luck.

Like mentioned above, some apps will reset the default apps if activated. For example, ES Explorer installs ES Player by default. If Whatapps has a hook to a file manager when attempting to play a video, it would trigger ES Player and resets your default player.

i think it's whatsapp which causes problem... so How can I do to whatsapp save the default video player ever????

Lost the option to choose youtube app, on youtube link

So anybody know how to fix this?
also does somebody got a android 101 for flashing roms and such things?
Maybe try clearing defaults? That would be my only guess
Clear defaults in the manage apps menu.

cant find that option.
well i found it but it is not clickable.
The clear defaults button is grayed out on mine for YouTube, streaming media player, and internet browser. My only thought would be to uninstall and reinstall the youtube app. The link should come up tho, is it a specific video or it never gives you the option?
Actually, I noticed they either launch directly in the youtube app as well, unless they're embedded in the webpage. Even then, clicking on "watch on YouTube" gives me two options, internet and YouTube. Clicking internet opens the youtube page, and clicking play there just opens up my YouTube app anyways. So I don't think you're missing much.

You have to clear the defaults for whichever application automatically opens up when you click the link. You might have already checked that out, I just wanted to clarify in case.
I believe you would actually need to clear defaults for the browser, not the YouTube app as some have tried... If that doesn't work, as suggested, uninstalling and reinstalling YouTube will reset it also.

Facebook and YouTube

Hi, I use the facebook app and when clicking on a youtube video I used to ask me to either open it via youtube app or internet, but now it does not ask anymore and just opens the videos via internet. Where can I go to have it ask again, and choose youtube?
home>menu>settings>applications>manage applications
find internet and tap it
tap clear defaults

Thanks, tried that , however the button is grayed out, looks like its not set for any default. Dont know why I would get the prompt to choose which way to view the video in the past.
exactly the same prob on my phone. but i think its something to do with the facebook app after it was updated. coz i have the same prob on my x10 also.

Opening of app instead of opening the link in browser

Hi,
I am using Galaxy s3 and upgraded it to Jelly Bean.
Till now whenever I used to click the link in S3's default internet browser, I used to get the app to open it. For e.g. if i clicked on Google play link, it used to open google play appl. Or if I click on youtube link it used to open youtube app on my android device.
But now, every time i click on any such link, it opens app in web browser. It is very much annoying.
I have cleared all the defaults of all the apps like Internet, Youtube, Google play etc but the issue still continues.
Seniors can you please help me in this issue. I really tried all the things but no success.
Awaiting for your help.
Kind Regards,
Anoop.
Possibly not much of a solution but try using a different web browser, there are far better than stock. Try using dolphin browser HD or Chrome. There are a few more but they are the ones I recommend.

Has anybody got a solution to this? I'm also facing the same issue.
go to settings - applications - your browser - clear defaults.
then click a play/YouTube link and just choose the corresponding app

Doesn't work...interesting thing is even after clear defaults from dolphin as well as stock browser, it only gives me these two options to choose from when I click on any youtube link,e.g. in FB. It never gives me an option to select youtube app.
I'm on Viking 5.1 | Android 4.1.2, although I'm sure the ROM should not matter. I remember it used to work on 4.0.4.

[Q] [Help] Google Now won't launch music app

When I try to use Google Now voice to listen to music i.e. "Ok, Google, play ..." it tries to launch the music player but it just flashes on the screen then it goes back to Google Now or if I open Google Now from the music app it goes back to that but doesn't play the song.
If I tell it to play a song I don't have or mess up a title it opens the app's search with no results.
Anybody else have this issue?
Any fix?
Any troubleshooting/debugging tips?
I also tried Play Music but it gives me the instant mix error and I deleted the system app and reinstalled it as a user app so I can't remove the updates.
I have tried searching for this issue but it is hard to word specifically enough

I would first try going to application manager and pressing the button that is to the left of the home button and click reset app preferences.
Do you mean clearing the data for the music app? I did that and it didn't help.

That is not what it does. It removes what programs you open your galaxy with. Like it's supposed to popup saying what you want to open the file in.
But if you are having trouble, I would either no-wipe your phone with odin or full-wipe it with odin.
Note that this resets everything so make sure that you backup to your sd card before you do this.

Stupid question here, but do you have Google Play Music installed? That's the only app this works with... It works fine for me...

My sister just got an s3 and I think Google Now works with the stock music app on her's.

Is it possible to add an app to ''complete action using''?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to add an app which is not listed after choosing a file i wanna open. I want to open a video with videoshop to edit it, because the in-app gallery is awful. It just shows all videos not sorted by name or date or folder so i would like to add videoshop to optional apps for opening videos from my normal gallery.
On a windows pc it's easy by rightclick and ''open file aa'' and then you have suggested apps and then the option to browse the pc for other apps. There must be a way to do that on miui too
Try installing this app.
It worked for me on a smarthone with kitkat, not sure if it's working with lollipop.
Thanks but this app doesn't solve my problem. I tried it and it only resets the default app after having chosen a default app before.
But I want to add an app to the offered apps to open it. I don't have chosen a default app to open videos. And when i click on a video and get asked, with which app i would like to open it then the app i want to use is not listed. I simply want to be a able to choose another app.
Isn't there any option, app or xposed module to do it?
Try "Amaze File Manager" from the Play Store.

Navigate to the file you want to open, and tap on it. You will get your options there.
