How to Change Default Apps on the LG Optimus M
Certain functions of the Android operating system in the LG Optimus M are set to launch built-in applications automatically. Other functions are assigned to third-party apps that come with the phone. When you install a new app, the Optimus M will not ask you which app you want to use when you perform the action, it will simply launch the default app automatically. You can reset the default app through the phone's menus.
