Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
For those of you with Sprint, I woke up today to a new update.
Hopefully it'll fix your problems.

Deleting the latest update to Google search solved the problem. Thanks for posting it

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
Just downloaded it this morning and installed the Google Search update to find no change.
Anyone make any progress with this? I'm wondering if I should ask Sprint to exchange my phone... Thanks!

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
I pulled my battery out for a minute to do a complete power down after installing latest update and now it works for me. I'm on Verizon

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
Sadly, that approach didn't work for me either. And what impact should removing the battery have on anything?

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
That sucks!
My phone and the people I know that have a GS4 don't have that problem, so it's not widespread on all the phones.
And that's why, I don't think Sprint will do anything, unfortunately.
But you can try, you got nothing to loose!

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
Just go to your apps and uninstall google search, that way you can can use other search engines to do your searches. It's google search updates thats causing the Touchwiz error. You don't need google search anyway. Use Firefox for searching.

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
I'm on Verizon and the latest Samsung upgrade did the trick. Finally no more annoying message with Google search! Hope the upgrade helps others here.

I'm with Sprint and I didn't have this problem *Knocks on wood*
But I know a couple of guys with Sprint that had this problem and the latest MK2 update fixed it and a WiFi problem too.

Thanks Lokesh this fixed my issue of the annoying request to select which launcher you to use.

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
I don't think I ever updated Samsung hub (it fact, it prompts me to update it) but forcing it to stop didn't change anything for me. This only reinforces my suspicion that some Samsung app is probably interfering with the Google Search update in some way and causing this. I've basically otherwise have given up and just biding my time with the "old" Google search until some point in the future when I update phones later this year or early next.
Any other ideas are welcome!

Re: Touchwiz wont stay as default launcher!
It is does seem to be google search that is causing the problem. Switching of History seems to cure the problem too. Thanks for the tip, I have been putting up with this problem for months.

Re: Touchwiz won't stay as default launcher!
So I had this problem even after KitKat update (t-mobile Note 3). I really didn't want to keep uninstalling Google Search updates for rest of life of phone and saw someone's comment about Subway app. I went to the settings page for default applications - home and saw that there was an app called "Hotmail Connect" listed with all my launchers (Touchwiz, knox, aviate, smart launcher) and this Hotmail Connect did not appear when the prompt for setting the default launcher appeared but all the other launchers did. So I uninstalled "Hotmail Connect" and now am on latest Google Search without issue. Set Aviate as my default and it has stayed set even after reboot and using other launchers "just once". Not sure if it matters but I did the uninstall updates on Google search prior to this and then went immediately to latest version. That was done before the "Hotmail Connect" removal as I was hoping the Google search was the trick. so not sure when this fix would have worked earlier but it works for me now. - Much happier with Note 3 now!

Re: Touchwiz won't stay as default launcher!
Hi All,
I have N8010 purchased in Hungary (JZ054K.N8010XXUCMK2), 3 months ago, but only 3 days with this issue... I've no idea how this issue could come up. There wasn't any Google Play update since weeks (auto update swd. off) I rooted the tab yesterday, maybe this way I can solve the problem somehow, but it didn't...
Lokesh wrote the good solution for the general issue, when the launcher chooser appears when anytime I touch the home button on an up to date version google search screen. So it is solved after I downgrade the search app, but there is an other way to see the launcher chooser window. If I restart the tab, everything loaded, and (!) after it is connected to wifi, the issue come again once after each restart and after all the system loaded! If I made my choise (apex launcher) and hit always, and confirm the 2nd info window, the issue do not show up till the next restart.
FYI: google search engine permanently stopped, all, unused service also permanently stopped. The touchwiz 4.1.2. shadowed from stop.
Please If somebody found the solution, post it for us!

Re: Touchwiz won't stay as default launcher!
Assuming that the settings info is similar to the Note 3, I would go to Settings, General, Default applications, Home, and look to see if you have any unexpected home launchers in the list - if so, uninstall them. That's where I found hotmail connect , and that fixed my problem.
