You know how if you have more than one app that performs a specific task, like lets say you have the basic messenger app that comes with the phone and then you get a second messenger app like Handcent, and then when you click on a contact and say send message you get the option of which messenger app to use.
and then you can say "use by default for this action."
If you check that box, then then next time you try to send a message you won't get the option of choosing any more, that's the only app you can use to perform that function like sending a message.
Well, if you did that by mistake, how can you get back to using either app?
If you understand my question.
thanks.
Go to settings, applications, manage applications, then scroll to find the app and select it. At the bottom you'll see "clear defaults".
You need to clear defaults for the app that you chose when prompted, not the app that prompted you. In your example, you'd "clear defaults" for Handcent if you wanted to use the stock SMS app.

Is there any way to unassociate a file-program relationship?
Allow me to elaborate...
I used handcent for texting on my g2. I sold that yesterday and got a mt4g, but I have a problem. When I installed it on my g2 and first opened a text, a message popped up and asked me which program I wanted to use and I clicked handcent. Ever since then I never had a problem with it on my g2, it would always open my texts with handcent. But when I opened a text on my mt4g it didn't ask but I didnt think anything of it at first. But i noticed now that when I get a text, i get 2, one for the stock app and one for handcent. Is there any way to "unassociate" the program with the text files? So then my stock messaging app won't work? i also tried going to "manage applications" and tried to uninstall the stock app but the box is greyed out and you cannot delete it, nor did I know if this was a good idea or not.
TIA
Disable notifications in stock app and you should be good to go.
1. Go to Manage Apps, find stock messages.apk and click the "Clear Defaults" button at the bottom
2. Use titanium if you wanna freeze or uninstall Messages.apk (not recommended since messages.apk have the auto-retrieve option for SMSs)
3. And yes disable any notifications in Settings of stock app
With Sense and CM10.1 on the Evo 3D, I could read texts or at least see who texts were from without going into the messaging app. With Touchwiz on the S4, the dropdown notification just says that there's a new message. Since expandable notifications are a big part of JB, why doesn't the messaging app use them? Is there any way I can change this behavior without rooting or installing another ROM yet?
Download another messaging app such as handcent or go sms?

1. Go to the messaging app.
2. In the main part of the app (not inside individual thread) tap settings button.
3. Scroll down and look for the "Preview Message" and check that option.
4. Multiple messages can be previewed by sliding down with two fingers on the message notfication.
5. Hit thanks if this helped

This.
It's a feature some people use because they don't want their messages being shown the second they get them for privacy in case anyone is looking at their phone. Be sure to peek around in the settings.

I use Google Voice and some other texting app... I want my phone to ask me everytime I want to send a text which app I want to use, so I "clear default" on the stock messaging app. but it keeps selecting back on it's own!! It's annoying. Does anyone know how to stop this? if I clear defaults now, few minutes later the stock app is "default" again!

I would suggest freezing that messaging app that you are not using. Titanium backup does this.

That doesn't help. I "turned off" stock app but my other messaging app (goSMS) then sets itself as default! when I clear defaults for goSMS few minutes later it will select itselft as default, just like stock app does. Now, if I uninstall goSMS then "hangouts" will be default and will select itself as default!... So for some reason, clearing defaults for messaging doesn't work because random messaging app will set as default on it's own, wheather is stock app, goSMS or hangouts.
I guess nobody else have the same problem??? I have 4 browsers, Opera, Chrome, Mozilla and stock browser app and everytime I click on a link (say, from a text message I click a link some friend sent me) phone will ask which browser I want to use and then I pick... that is exactly what I want on text messages! I need the phone to ask me everytime I send a text so I can choose stock app or google voice! but everytime I clear defaults, they go back to defaul on it's own.
Hi there, in my new s7 edge,
when i was trying to send a premium sms text,
it said "do u want to send? YES NO" and bellow there was an option like "always remember".
i wanted to press YES and always remeber, but i accidentaly pressed NO and "always remember".
now there is nowhere i can find the spot to reset it back and i cant send that sms...
its not an ISP issue as when i try the same SIM to another phone, it sends it without problems...

I had the same issue and I had to factory reset because I couldn't find it anywhere. Very fristra5
Sent from my Blackberry Bold
I am having the same issue. This is absolute garbage that this cannot be reset. I do not want to hard reset my phone to fix this. It takes me hours to get all my apps back in place and everything logged in. If Samsung's back up saved where my apps go and how I like things customized I'd be a little more reluctant. There has to be somewhere in the phone to fix this Short code texting.
People with high Wi-Fi drain try this:
Backup and Reset -> Reset Network Settings
This will only reset WiFi password and Bluetooth and it did had a positive impact for me.
Not sure what Wifi drain has to do with this topic...
Default app manager pro can clear default apps and bring back the open with menu. Pretty sure the lite version can do this too.
Nope no defaults set anywhere
Has anyone found a solution except for factory reset?
Just curious what's premium SMS? Compared to a regular SMS?

It's an sms sent to a phone number to approve a charge. Kinda like a 900 call.
I was replying to something like a redbox message - STOP, HELP, YES. Since I accidently hit "no", whenever I respond, the message FAILS

Still not working
None of these solutions work. I've ready that it's a marshmellow thing.
Can't you just long press the messaging app from the app drawer and go to app info and clear data and cache to reset it?

You could try settings > application manager > more > reset app preferences
Try this:
Settings > Application Manager > Find the app (most likely it would be Messages > Storage > Let it compute (which can take some time) > then CLEAR DATA. This might delete all your texts though (not 100% sure since I haven't tried)
Go to Settings / Applications / App Manager, scroll to the SMS app (Messages is the default SMS app), tap the app, tap Set as default, tap Clear Defaults.
That should do it. This is how you clear defaults for every app.
I just did the same thing. I bought my S7 today. But there is no premium sms setting in the phone. And I do not want to reset my phone. I gave my 3 hours for it
Any chance that this is under App Permissions? Ir simply install Google Messenger.
I shared a contact to Viber from contacts stock app and for mistake I pressed always and not only this time.
Now if I want share a contact from stock app it open directly Viber and I cannot chose other apps.
How can reset it to have the list with apps where to share?

Settings - Apps and notification - default apps. Change contact app from Viber to whatever you want
sorry for my bad english, but I wanted say an other thing.
Using contacts app and pressing "share" in top right (see attached file) it open directly Viber where to share selected contact.
Before my mistake, when I pressed share button, it open the list of app where I could share and the question "always" or "only this time".
I would like to go back to stock status but I cannot find how.
thanks

Open the App info, there would be an option named "Open by default", Tap that and there would be written at the bottom "Clear defaults", Tap that and it would stop being the default option for whatever you've set it.
