Default program settings - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

When opening a program from within another program I have to set the default action every time. Even when I select "akways" for the action. Usually the defaults are persistent as long as I dont leave the program like when downloading files. But if I leave the program and come back to it I have to select default settings all over again.
I have had this issue since flashing newest shostock rom. I've posted in his thread but nobody seems to know what governs this problem. If anyone has anything that might help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

SKSchema HELP!

Hi,
I have done this script:
#r(#wlanon)
#r(\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\TCPMP.lnk) #p(\Storage Card\Capital.pls) #sleep(5000)
#r(#kill) #p(player.exe) #sleep(90000)
#r(#wlanoff) #sleep(5000)
It's a kind of wifi-radio alarm clock. If I run it manually by clicking on it, the script works, but really I can't get it to work by running this script with scheduled option. I mean that I'd like to run it during some working days but really I don't know how to do it. I tried this:
open SKSchema/new/command/:SKSCHM #r(#script) #p(sveglia.sksc)
After than I setted days of the week, time...
This is the related .sksp file generated:
#rSKSCHM #r(#script)) #p(\Sveglia.sksc) #hh(7) #mm(57) #days(2,3,4,5,6,) #waitfor(1) #vol(7) #d(Sveglia!) #a(2)
Coming back to Queue view I tapped on scheduled event created/Execute, to test it, but it doesn't work.
Where I went wrong?
You say it works if you run it manually so maybe it is a timing issue. You only allow 5 seconds for your WiFi LAN link to be active and if the machine is in standby this may take longer. You could also try moving the .pls file on your storage card to main memory - just to see if that makes a difference. Have you sent an email to their support - I have had very rapid responses to my questions in the past.
regards cjb.
Well it's not a metter of time or .pls location, it seems that the script doesn't start at all. Infact neither player nor wifi start.
So I should verify if
#rSKSCHM #r(#script)) #p(\Sveglia.sksc) #hh(7) #mm(57) #days(2,3,4,5,6,) #waitfor(1) #vol(7) #d(Sveglia!) #a(2)
is correct.
When you talk about support do you mean mail support?
THX so much for you replay.
:wink:
I think I solved the problem...I'll test it tomorrow in the morning. If I will be late at work, than I wasn't right...
I opened with txt editor .sksp file and changed:
#rSKSCHM #r(#script)) #p(\Sveglia.sksc) #hh(7) #mm(57) #days(2,3,4,5,6,) #waitfor(1) #vol(7) #d(Sveglia!) #a(2)
into
:SKSCHM #r(#script) #p(\Sveglia.sksc) #hh(7) #mm(57) #days(2,3,4,5,6,) #waitfor(1) #vol(7) #d(Sveglia!) #a(2)
:roll:

Every time I hit space bar, phone quits?

Every time I hit the space bar now, or a symbol key, whether it be in an e-mail, browser, text; whether it is the virtual keyboard or actual, my phone will all of a sudden just quit out of whatever app. it is in. Anybody know what the heck this is?!
hey man i've got the same problem!
did yours got fixed?
and how?
Same here. You guys running WM6.5?
i think its from some registry entries not agreeing...
i've seen similar closing of programs with random button presses
try and narrow in on the scenario with your latest additions to the device...
i would be surprised if this is happening on stock rom
i would suggest all posting up your current rom/carrier...etc
thats how it will get narrowed in on
personally i installed a new rom and it went away
i tried using a backup program and it didn't solve it...problem was saved in there
so all my settings had to be entered manually again
it may have been my backup program at the time (spb clone) which sucks in my opinion
using sprite backup now and seems to be effective (two successful backups logged)
but i didn't use sprite at the time of this issue
try one of the newer roms available

Clock Issues

Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with my devices time keeper....
Ever since I changed the home tab clock, the regional settings don't seem to work. I like my clock to be in 24h format but all I get is bloody AM/PM!
I've tried to uninstall .cab and soft-reset back to original to no avail, and just wondered if anyone else had this problem or an idea of how to sort it?
Thanks in advance.
Time format...
What time format do you have set in your 'Regional Settings'? If they are set the way you want, but the time still displays in another format, the developer has coded the format within the application, so you won't be able to change it from the device settings
I have it on UK regional settings, when bought it was on US settings, but, having changed backwards and forwards it does'nt seem to like either.... I'll try with a few more regions and see what happens....
Sorted now.... for some reason it started to work when I changed the settings to another region, switched back to UK and all was fine

Sprint HTC snap firmware update.

Today my Sprint Snap 511 popped up a dialog that asked me if i wanted to accept or reject a new firmware update. I'm happy with how the phone has been performing, so i rejected the update pending some research.
anyone have an idea what this was? is it winmo 6.5? some sort of minor update? how do i even get back to that dialog if i want to accept the firmware update?
I have the same question. Noone knows anything?

Firmware Update for Sprint Snap--->DO NOT DO IT!
I installed it, and while the phone seemed to work well at first, it does one thing that will render your phone almost useless.
You can no longer change your default ringer, even to one of the pre-installed ringers.
In fact, I cannot even set the phone to vibrate.
HTC will tell you to do a hard reset but it will not fix the firmware problem.
So DO NOT INSTALL THE FIRMWARE UPDATE!
It is not a WM6.5 update.
I saw someone post in another forum that after they did the firmware update they could not change their ringer and they also could not receive text messages. They could send text messages though. I'm definitely going to wait.
Does anybody have any of the old firmware that they can upload? this new firmware is just ridiculous.
I agree with Dr. Gizmo. DO NOT download this new firmware.
I have been noticing something odd with my yahoo! email service on my Snap. I used to be able to attach multiple pictures into one email message. Now, I can no longer attach pictures in my email message. If I want to send an image via email, I have to locate the file in my album, then click 'send in email.' This is extremely frustrating, as I can only send one message with one attached file at a time.
I thought by doing a reset of the factory settings this would remedy the solution. I was wrong! After backing up my files and defaulting all of the settings, now my ringer is stuck at the default option. I can change it from silent, to work, to normal. However, I can make no changes to the actual ringer, ie "standard2, melody, drums, etc, etc."
I was half asleep when I pressed "accept" when prompted the firmware update. I wish I had pressed "Decline."
DO NOT accept the firmware updates.
Does anyone know a work around? Is there anyway we can reverse the firmware updates?
I have the same problem as all of you and I feel like an idiot for accepting the update when it popped up on my phone on March 24. I cannot change my wallpaper to a picture of my own or change the main ring tones. I called HTC support and they told me they sent NO firmeware updates out and that I should hard reset the phone. Do not hard reset the phone as this DOES NOT correct the problem...which really scares me because if a hard reset does not work then what the heck will.
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the update or undo it?
Also, if HTC did not send out the update, it might have been an update that windows sent out and they are to blame. This needs to be addressed and fixed soon. By the way Sprint, please don't tell people to hard reset the phone...That DOES NOT fix this error.
Please help anyone

PirateTD,
You should be able to change your homescreen background image (wallpaper) from the menu at the bottom of the htc homescreen.
The ringer won't change from anywhere
SnapJoeSnap
Nope..changing wallpaper overall is not working.. try to change the wallpaper to one of your personal pics and it will say "Unable to set picture as Home screen wallpaper."
it will say this no matter what picture you try to change it to and this DID NOT start until the windows update.
If you go under settings and click on homescreen and then change it under where it says background image, it will change it but it will not change it to what you select. I have selected multiple different images under here and it either stays the same or changes it to something TOTALLY different from what you selected and i have no idea but it wont let you pick a wallpaper now.
Please try this everyone and let me know what it does to ypu
Anyone have any idea how to get the old ROM prior to the update and how to install in on the phone..
Any help would be appreciated

Funny thing, this win mobile is... I went through start>settings>home screen and I CAN change the picture setting to whatever I like (it does not give me the error) BUT the image displayed won't change. If I go back to settings>home I can see that the change stuck, but the picture won't change even thou it looks like the wallpaper is 'refreshing'. I was sure I could and did as I rechecked before posting and I would get the "error..." message from settings>homescreen but not from HTC Home sliding panel AND I saw the diff pic in the wallpaper.
EDIT: Wait just a minute... I can't insert files into emails!!! What the...???

Yes it would be. Can anyone help us guys out?
Sorry I can not help you with uninstalling the firmware update, but I can tell you this the update if from neither HTC nor Microsoft it is a Sprint Firmware update. The word is the update that has caused problems for our phone was released in part to put an end to the practice of using the phones data services on our laptops. As much as I do not agree as to how Sprint has handeled this I understand their reasons with some people taking advantage of this ability to hog bandwith with torrent downloads, watching movies... So if you are one of these people thank you very much and as a Sprint user I do not want to see Sprints service affected like ATT's with not being able to make calls because everyone is using their IPhones. Get your self an aircard!
Ok I have found a few work arounds to the main ringer and the home screen picture issue.
The first work around the Home Screen Picture - thanks to the update above and a locked registery the settings panel no longer works... But if you use the Picture and Video app (included with the phone) to set your home screen back ground picture. Just open the image you want to use with the app and with the use of the "menu" you can set your home screen image there.
The main ringer is a little different but along the same lines. Making this change requires something along the lines of a ringtome manager that allows you to change the main ringer in it, and the phone does not come with one. However I did a trial version of Photo Contact Pro that had this ability. Now I did not care for Photo Contact Pro after trying it out but still it allowed me to change the main ringer while I had it on my phone. Now I can no longer change my main ringer because I uninstalled the App but then because it was a trial version it did not cost me anything. So if you really need to change your ringer once here is an option, however if you are one of those who wants to change their ringer on a regular basis, you will then have to find an app that will allow you to did this or wait until a fix is released.
As far as an email issue someone wrote about here you will need to double check your email account settings. I had problems sending emails from my phone and found the auto settings were not correct for the smtp (out going mail) server and I had to set them manualy...
Sprint finally released an update to the Snap s511, you can find it on the website. It fixes all the problems that the bad update caused

Closing Idle apps on Screen off

Hi,
It has been a while since I have been able to play with custom ROMs as my previous phone was not well supported.
I have just now switched over to the Axon 7 and have just started setting it up as my daily driver. I Installed NucleaROM with LIGHT PATCH, Open GApps and ARISE Sound System. All seems to be working fine but I have one issue and I think it may be a feature from not just the Custom ROM of choice but the underlying source (ResurrectionROM/LineageOS).
When I first setup the phone, it had an option on the lock screen to customize how apps are closed (i believe the term was Smart Close) when the device is idle and the screen is off. I remember looking through it and having options for which apps are closed and which are to remain running.
Since then I have installed a collection of apps, one of which is the Garmin Connect which I need to run when the screen is off.
I am unable to find how to get to these options now. I have looked through the power options and cannot see it.
If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your assistance.
As I have started to use the phone a little more I have noticed that this is having another effect.
It seems to be closing my keyboard app so every time I unlock it goes back to the stock keyboard and I need to select SwiftKey again.
I hope someone knows where these settings are.
I have found a workaround for now, but if anyone knows how to control the SmartBattery application, it would be greatly appreciated.
I believe this function is coming from the System App called Smart Battery. I have gone into Settings -> Apps then selected the menu to show system apps. From there I was able to locate the SmartBattery app and disable it.
This seems to be working for me as by Garmin Fitness tracker was losing BlueTooth to the phone before but not now with that app disabled.
I'm not entirely positive about this, as I've never heard of that app. At first, I thought you were talking about the screen lock cleaning feature from the power manager on stock. After your follow up post indicating you had actually found reference to the app on your system and a bit of Googling, I was able to find some reference to it. Nothing useful, I'm afraid.
Try using an app that can launch activities, like Nova Launcher or Tasker. Try to find the app in the list, and see if you can launch it by calling for one of its activities.
P.S., if you're running RR, if you have a look at the extended settings, there might be a way to set the nav keys long-press action to a custom activity. Remember to enable the app, otherwise it might not show up in any lists.
