Touchwiz won't stay as default launcher on Galaxy s5...

[Melissa98]

Help! I'm on my third brand new phone, my second sim card, and many many headaches... I consistently hit the home button, get the "Complete action using" prompt, offering touchwiz or touchwiz ready. I hit "touchwiz" and "always" then ok on the prompt about changing default settings, and it works for that session on the phone. But the next time I pick up the phone from sleep, it starts all over again! I've tried everything from going through the default application settings, to clearing the touchwiz cashe, to removing updates on Google search, to a factory reset. Some things work temporarily, but eventually go right back. Help!

Finally found something that worked for me. In desperation, after reading about the Google search version issue, I went in and started clearing anything with multiple options for default.. I noticed that I was getting the same pop up whenever I would launch a browser because I had both Chrome and internet installed. I decided since I don't use Chrome much anymore that I would just uninstall it. That totally fixed my problem. I went back into touch wiz in the settings, and it finally allowed me to set it as the default, where it was not staying saved before, and all is fine now.

Thanks this solved it. Of all things, it was a stupid flashlight app that was causing the problem. Cleared all my screen settings trying to fix this problem, but at least in my case, it was mostly my fault for installing that stupid app.

This did it! It was another application that was the culprit. After I deleted the app, my launcher works properly. Thank you!
