Android Central Question

when I am using email apps like hotmail or the default android email app. if an email that I click on has a link and I click on it (lollipop os) never remembers my choice for the "always" to open with.

I have done a factory reset, when to settings and cleared defaults and nothing has worked.

does anyone have a solution?

Settings/Applications. Find the app and clear defaults. (That's named wrong - it's "clear this app as being the default app for things calling for this type of app".) Then try "Always" again. It worked on Jellybean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow.

Install Default App Manager to make handling the default app for a function easier. (It takes you to the same place, but you don';t have to fiddle around to get there.)
