Always having to set preferences

[Cj_davies]

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've done a search but couldn't find anything. After an update quite a while ago now, my nexus always asks me to select a preference for the program for opening every time I open anything! It doesn't matter that I click the "do it every time" box, it continues to ask me every time. It's really frustrating! Hope you can help!

Welcome to Android Central! You might want to try clearing the system cache partition, which will not make you lose any important data. It's only temporary system data that can sometimes muck things up, especially after a system update. Steps as follows:

1. If your tablet is on, power it off.
2. Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
3. Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
4. Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
5. While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
6. You should see the Recover Menu. Highlight "Wipe cache partition" and execute.
7. When complete, you should see "Reboot system now" highlighted. Execute, then see if the problem is resolved.

It worked! Thank you so much. It's been annoying for months. Wish I'd asked earlier now! Thank you!
