Here are all the apps I downloaded today. I think it has to be one of these because it wasn't doing this until today. The only other thing I did was make Nova my default launcher, but I switched back to TouchWiz for a minute and that didn't change things. Anyway, here are the apps:

I told you I had a lot. See if anything cross references with yours. We may be able to find a culprit.

Hmmm. So may be one of those? Looks like I'll delete that entire group and see what happens.

Haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but have you? Wondering if you have had any luck yet.

Just deleted everything on that list aside from Pandora and so far so good. I'm going to keep checking every so often and see if it stays over a few hours before I start loading any of those apps again.

Few hours later and still no issues. It had to be an app conflict. I'm going to start adding each app back one at a time. I'll keep this thread updated.

Even though I think I'm talking to myself now, looks like the culprit was Kohl's! I downloaded that one and it immediately came back. None of the others made anything happen. If you're having this issue, try deleting that one and see if it helps.

Kohl's official store app?

Yeah, as weird as that sounds. I deleted every app that the two of us had in common. The issue went away. So I began to put all the apps back one by one and checked to see if the issue popped up. As soon as I downloaded Kohl's app, the issue popped up. As soon as I deleted it, it went away and hasn't been back since. Strange.

If you really like the app, you should contact the company and let them know the app is buggy.

It's not a huge deal. I only had it on there because my wife likes to shop there. I may still contact them, though.

Glad you found it. I have the same issue unfortunately I don't have the Kohl's app. Both the "internet" and chrome have the "clear defaults" option greyed out. I want to use the "internet" browser by default and not chrome

I had to create a login just to thank you for this. I've been trying to figure this out for months and months. I've searched all over the web and couldn't find it. You just made my life a lot better.

You're welcome! I'm glad I helped at least one person. It took myself and one other guy who was having the same issue to figure out the app. We ran through a ton of apps just to see which one caused it and sure enough it was Kohl's. Couldn't believe it. I only downloaded it for my wife and it caused about a week of issues for me. I thought I was going to hate my phone because of it. I tried factory resets and everything. So I'm definitely glad I helped you out.

Sure enough! I thought I had the whole Chrome default thing whipped, then it started happening again. I just uninstalled the Kohl's app. So far, so good. Fingers crossed! Thanks for figuring this out!

Great thing you solved it. I may be stuck with the same problem, but I do not have Kohl's app installed. So it must be some other app. Well... let's go find it...
