Resetting Android system / Sound picker default

Alan493216 — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:53:08 GMT

I was playing around with ringtones on my Xperia Go.

Until now, when I went to choose a new ringtone, I was offered the choice of using "Sound picker" or "Android system" to do so.

I have just set "Android system" as the default by ticking the box in the popup, but now I realize it doesn't give the same choices as "Sound picker".

But I can't clear the default setting, when choosing a new ringtone it goes straight to the "Android system" choices without giving me the choice to use "Sound picker".

Usually you can reset this by going into settings->Apps and clearing an App's defaults. But "Android system" isn't listed as an App.

There must be a setting somewhere else. Any idea where?

OK, found it myself.

You have to look under the "All Apps" tab under Settings->Apps.

I can't reset the default. I cant press the button Clear Defaults in BOTH Android System and Sound Picker.

When I wanted to select alarm tone only Android System tones are poping out. There is no option of sound picker..

And I cant clear the defaults.

PLs HElp.....

Alternatively, if u just want to reset one app, instead of all of them, u can choose Display system apps after clicking the 3 dots and it'll have everythi g your phone uses. This is how I was able to reset my sound picker

@4beth4 you're on Sony forum, you'll be better off finding Samsung support forum and asking there.
