Navigation default app selection?

[pjniez]

You can disable AT&T nav, you just have to uninstall updates first. After you do that, the disable button will appear.

That's right... I forgot about uninstalling updates first. I'm going to edit my post above and add this step.

Thanks!

Which means they never even checked before pontificating. Unbelievable!!

You suppose pdj79 will try the other things I told him to do? Of course not.

There's a difference between being helpful and being an @$$. You chose the latter route. Someone was actually nice enough to PM me and provided more assistance in 3 sentences than your entire post. The issue had NOTHING to do with other apps being installed and stealing the default status. I had to manually go into App Associations and tell the Android to use Dolphin to handle Web URLs, something that I assumed was supposed to happen when I kept being prompted to make it the default whenever I would open the app. Even going into Dolphin's settings and manually setting default there didn't work, so that's why I assumed the same thing was happening here. I don't know if it's a bug or something hard-coded that prevented anything other than the stock browser to be default in that manner, but at least it has been figured out.

Would like to mark this issue as resolved for me. I was able to disable the AT&T navigation app and now it never bothers me again!

Thanks for the tip and help.

Actually, it is HTC if the same issue is happening across 2 different carriers. Please note that the OP has AT&T, so is it that the option to remember to use Google Navigation a problem both with AT&T & Verizon's? No, it comes down to a bug in HTC's software, I've had this phone since it came out, and it wasn't until the recent software release where this issue started occurring. Don't be so quick to jump down people's throats, jeez.

It works the way it does because that's how the carriers want it to work...HTC could give a rat's behind about carrier specific nav apps.

I had this problem as well and found out how to fix it.

Go to Settings -> Applications.
At the bottom of the screen is "App Associations"
Check "Physical Address" - it is probably set to ATT Navigator, change it to your preference (google maps, in my case)
Also...
Check Map Address - switch that to google maps as well.

That fixed it for me!
