hey everyone,
So i downloaded Neutron Media Player to try playing my music through when I am in the car. I like the stock Music Player, but hate the fact that the screen keeps going off. Did some research and Neutron Player was the best next choice for me.

Question is.. how do I go about setting up that or any app to open up automatically when opening certain file types?

I have a Z10 with OS 10.2.1.1925.

EDIT - I tried to press and hold on an MP3 file, and on the side menu it shows me "Open in Neutron Player", but it doesnt set it self as a default.

Thanks

Settings > App Manager > Default apps

10.2.1+ only

Probably pretty restrictive still.

Thanks for the reply. I checked that section in the settings and it shows no set default apps. I guess maybe still a bit restrictive like you said. I'll wait for the official 10.2.1 release and see if they've opened it up.

Open file manager and tap and hold on the file and "open in"

I did that to an MP3 i have on my SD Card. It only seems to be a one time deal. I'd like to be set as a default app for all my MP3s.

Check the box on the open in screen -_- (the one that says set as default..)

Install vlc (using snap) and try again. I guess there has to be more than 1 alternate in order to have the open in screen appear

I figured out this was the way for certain file types, but what about for example Maps apps? I know you should be able to use the same 'long-press' and 'open in' method, but does anyone know where or how to find a Map-capable link like that from your phone?
I tried sharing a location on BBM, but it did not get any overflow options, WhatsApp has an in-app setting so no luck there either, Foursquare does not get an 'open in' dialogue either...

I am sure I had found a way on an older OS version, but I can not seem to find it anymore. Most I can find now are overflow options like 'Add to places' or 'Map'/'Go'

Ok I have a problem. I tend to share myself Web links through NFC from my Q to my Z to browse them on my Z. But when I get it to my Z, these are the only options to open it...




I realized that it's because it's text with a like behind it (I don't remember the term for that)

Any idea on what I can do about it?
