[Q] Strange behaviour concerning default apps - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Galaxy S3 and have the following problem: everytime I open a program (via Link (Tapatalk) or from the contacts (SMS/WhatsApp))
I get the notification if I wish to open the same type Always or Just once with the respective program.
Everytime I choose "Always", the phone tells me that I can reset the default app settings in the Application menu, but it doesn't remember my choice,
so I have to redo this step again and again.
I installed several Original and Custom ROMS and Kernels, all with the same error. I always install a new ROM with full data/cache/dalvik wipe.
Anyone had the same problem or knows how to fix this?
Kind regards.

[Q] Default Messaging app no longer sends notifications for new messages. Help!

Hello,
I recently flashed JellyBam ROM and updated from 2.0 > 3.0 > 3.1 > 3.2. I've also tried both the Dorimanx and the Siyah kernels, ensuring that I wipe cache/dalvik before flashing each. Everything had gone swimmingly and the ROM was/is terrific. However, since the latest update it appears that my default messaging application will no longer notify me of new messages (SMS). This doesn't appear to be a problem for anyone else.
I've checked the settings within the application (Notifications box is ticked and a ringtone is selected), and I've also checked the system settings > device > sound > default notification which has a ringtone selected.
Additionally, I have a widget called "Missed it!" installed which changes whenever I get a new SMS, but there is no notification / sound from the phone to acknowledge this.
I've reflashed the ROM after doing a 'wipe cache' and 'wipe dalvik cache' but to no avail. I've also tried to wipe the cache for the app from within the 'manage apps' section.
Any suggestions? Your time is greatly appreciated!
Regards
No ideas?
Bump...
Still nothing? Could someone move the query into the JellyBam thread on the i9100 page then please?
I cannot post in there yet as I haven't made 10 posts.

			
				
Download a new messaging app like GoSms.
Thanks for the response.
I used to use GO SMS, but since flashing the new ROM i found the default messaging app and it's theme to be pretty good.
Today, i've tried to do a factory wipe and re-flash the ROM but I used Titanium backup to reinstall my apps and the problem persists.
Im now a fan of whatsapp.Send pics for nowt.....
I also use Whatsapp, but it's still annoying that I cannot get the default messaging app to push notifications.
I am sorry i cannot help you in any way as i dont have a galaxy s2. But you can ask the rom developer to look into your problem.
I've fixed the problem now. Wasn't able to work out what the quick-fix was, so I ended up doing a complete factory wipe and reinstalling apps with Titanium Backup. Managed to download a Samsung App's apk that had "S-memo" so I have managed to save the memo's I had stored previously.

[Q] Phone Setup Wizard questions

I've installed a custom Rom [Chaos] without a keyboard, and then flashed my favourite keyboard, Swiftkey, via CWMod.
During the Phone Startup wizard, this keyboard wasn't active, so I had to skip all the steps.
One of the steps was entering your name ("for personalising the phone").
I've gone through and manually configured everything else, but I can't find anywhere to enter my name in this way.
Does anybody know how I can configure this?
just curious - why do yo need it?
This is normally Security > Owner info (I think)
Just a note, I would not recommend removing the stock keyboard or launcher. These are essential for fall back if something goes wrong. Even if you're flashing a keyboard to /system/app, it's best to keep stock handy.

Micromax A35 isn't working fine after flashing Stock Rom

My phone was restarting at the logo. Software was corrupted.
I downloaded the Stock Rom from XDA developers, and followed every thread that could help me install fresh rom.
First problem I faced that flashing failed at FDL2.
Then somewhere on the forum I read that unchecking the calibration option in the download tool would help. I unchecked the calibration option, and lo! it flashed.
So, new software was installed. I was happy but that happiness didn't last long.
I noticed that the new software had some problems.
1. Dialer crashed as I tried calling or someone called me. As a result, I was unable to pick a call or make a call.
2. Bluetooth was successful in pairing with any device, but it refuses to receive or send any file. When I tried to send any file, there was no option of bluetooth in sharing. And when tried to receive any file from other device, there was no movement in my phone, while the phone showed the request rejected.
3. Camera clicked photos fine, but there was no preview on the screen. That is, when I opened the camera, it showed every camera option but the screen was black, there was no image of the person standing behind it. And when I clicked the shoot button, the image shot fine.
4. Internet connects, but only the sending arrow blinked; there was no receiving. Therefore, no site opened.
5. SD card, when inserted, mounted with no problem, but I was unable to delete or copy any file from it. I could only read files from it, i.e. installing software, etc.
6. Videos when played, only sound emerged, no video, even after installing MX player.
7. There was no calender in the menu, while I checked the system.img (with the help of Greenleaf_Yaffs-IMG_Manager on pc) that it was included in the system apps, but not installed while flashing.
8. IMEI numbers were changed. Bluetooth and wireless address were changed. Also, I noticed that bluetooth share app was not installed while flashing, though it was included in the stock rom.
Of all the eight problems listed above I could only rectify the crashing dialer problem and IMEI problem.
Using VRoot, I rooted my phone and using system_app_installer I replaced the dialer from the original stock dialer that I backed up earlier. I tried to install bluetooth share, but it only showed successful installation, but it did not appear in the list of system apps. I installed it several times, but each time it installed as if a fresh app, there was no prompt for a replace, and there was no result. Similar was the case with the calender app.
I rectified the IMEI using WRITE IMEI_R1.5.3001. The IMEI were written in the back of the phone so I could write the original IMEIs but I didn't have any idea of bluetooth and wireless address.
But I couldn't find any solution to the other problems for the past 1 month. I searched all over the net, but no avail.
Now, I think this all problem has its root when I unchecked the calibration option in the download tool. If this is the case, what should I do?
Please guide, friends. Desperately need your suggestions.
Thank you.

LG L70 - stopping more apps - even after a factory reset and flashing ROM

Good afternoon.
Recently, I dealt with the message "The Contacts application stopped". The same with Calendar app and sometimes with the Camera app. The same issue I had with the original keyboard LG, which I did not use so I did not mind that. Basically, the message appeared only after backing up with Titanium backup before I switched back to Smart Keyboard Pro.
Deleting data of the application did not help. So I had to do a Factory reset. But that logically resulted in deleting Smart Pro Keaboard and thus I was done because LG keyboard was not working again. So I could not enter the password for Wi-Fi, could not log into my Google Account and therefore all my backups were useless (LG backup, Google backup and Titanium Backup). Now, as I write this, I get an idea to install Titanium Backup from the card, so maybe next time).
So finally I had to flash the phone. Then I restored everything (root, applications, SDfix, Folder mount, ... ) and the phone worked for about a week without any problems. Then Contacts started to stop (again: "The application Contacts stopped"). I went around by using another application for contacts. But then even Settings began to stop. For example when I need to turn on Wi-Fi, I'll hold the icon for a list of available networks and the app Settings stops. The same when I try to set the background image or when I try to access the list of applications or try to view Phone info.
Prior to these problems, the phone went over a year without any problems. I've got SafeRemover, but I just deleted useless apps like Google Music and so on. I cannot delete data of the stopping apps since I cannot get into the menu.
I do not I have any suspicious newly installed application. No task killer, booster, antivirus and similar crap I do. Just SD Maid.
I have a LG L70, Android 4.4.2 with the newest firmware from LG web. I can not find out more because Setting would stop. :-/
Do you guys have any idea how to solve the problem?
You could try an older version of the firmware.
You could also try clearing cache and dalvik cache through recovery (if possivle) or flashing custom ROMs (if available).
Thanks a lot for your replies. I don't know how to clean Dalvik cache with recovery. I tried flashing the same stock ROM again with normal flash. Other possibilities are (in this order): CSE flash with the same rom, normal flash with different stock rom, custom rom.
So after normal flashing with stock ROM everything seemed ok. I recovered some apps and setting from Google account and then I started recovering from LG backup. It ended, phone switched of and is dead. I can't switch it on, load Recovery menu neither Bootloader menu (with USB cable). So it look like a hard brick.
My notebook sees the phone as "QHSUSB_BULK" in a "non-determined device" category. I'm searching the unbrick method but I start being desperate. :-/
