Change the default app in "Open with" dialog

Question

I have at one point chosen Truedialer as the default app for opening contacts.

I would now like to set Google Contacts as the default app.

I have cleared the Launch by default setting for Truedialer.

However, when I click on a contact (found using searchbar) I get a dialog stating

Open with View contact
                  [JUST ONCE] [ALWAYS]
Use a different app
Contacts

(View contact is the Truedialer app, Contacts is the Google Contacts app)

Now, I can choose View contact as ALWAYS, but I cannot choose Contacts as ALWAYS, I can only click it to use it once.

This same dialog shows up every time, no matter how many times I search for a contact. It only gives me the option of setting View contact as default, never Contacts.

How can I set Contacts as default?

Answer 1

I had the same issue with a widget.

For me the following worked:

Go to Settings->Apps and click on the menu button (the three dots in the right top) and select Reset app preferences.

This resets a lot of stuff, but I was able to select Alwaysfor the right app again.
