Even after a FR? Thats odd.

What app did you clear defaults in? I assume you done it in the Phone app.
What application is called by default? This is the app you need to clear.

Fwiw e, A handy place to see an overview of assigned defaults-long press home, press pie chart icon...select clear defaults tab

Is Pie Control available on all, unrooted, stock Samsung firmwares, (or for that matter, on all custom ROMs)?

PieControl is a 3rd party app, but I didn't say anything about PieControl.

I was talking long-pressing home key and looking for a pie chart icon in lower left hand corner. It is stock behavior on my AT&T S4 running MK2 firmware (Android 4.3). I assume others have similar stock functionality. Do you not have that?

Long pressing my home key on my i337/mk2 brings up Google Now. I am unrooted but run Nova Prime launcher.

Edit:
Oops. Long press of the home key brings up recent apps, not Google Now. Long press of the Menu key brings up Google Now. Apologies.

Bringing up the recent apps also brings up 3 options on the bottom of the screen. The leftmost option is the pie icon pete refers to above. Across the top of the display are different options where you can check RAM, storage, active apps, downloads, and clear defaults. Choosing clear defaults brings up the currently set default options to launch for Gallery, Phone, Messaging, Launcher, and GPS nav.

Standard behaviour for long press on the Home key on the worldwide models is to bring up recent apps. Not heard of the pie icon. Possibly this is a carrier add-on for your variant.

I am afraid that it is not possible to revert to Android 4.2.2 from Android 4.3, as per #1.1 of Knox Security & locked bootloader on new firmwares.

Providing that you have cleared the defaults in your models built-in phone app and other dialler apps, (which a Factory Data Reset would have normally done), as suggested by Hawker in post #2, then you may have a corrupt update. You can either take your phone to the nearest Samsung Service Point or your carrier and get it re-flashed or, if your model of phone is not one of the U.S.A. variants that does not release their firmware for download, you can download and flash the stock Samsung firmware for your particular model and CSC code by following the instructions in #1.5 of 23 Galaxy S4 models - know yours?

As there are 23 different models of the S4 and over 1,000 stock firmwares, it might be a good idea to narrow things down by posting your model number, carrier and firmware version details as per post #8 of the 23 Galaxy S4 models - know yours?

The option to select the method of calling, unless a default has been set, has been available for me on all Android releases for the International, GT-i9505.

Verizon = no pie chart.

Verizon = no pie chart.

It's not a pie chart, but you have the same function. If you long press the home button (physical button), you can click on "task manager" And you'll see the "Clear Defaults" option at the top. From there, you can clear whatever defaults you've set.

For info - behavior of AT&T SGH-i337 shown in attached screenshots:
first screenshot is what I get after long-press home (AT&T SGH-i337)
second screenshot is what I get after I click on the pie-chart icon in lower left of first screen.

For op, just to confirm (sorry....it's my annoying habit)
1 - when you select a phone number, it pulls up the stock dialer?
2 - you cleared defaults on application "phone"?

If both yes, it is hard to figure...

You might poke around as I suggested in the long-press / pie-chart (or whatever your phone has) "clear defaults" and see if there are any other apps resembling phone that might be cleared. Or maybe clear everything on that whole page if you're desperate.

Also you might for the heck of it try this app (can't hurt?)

Pete, that's exactly what I see as well... other than the defaults are different in some cases. Sorry for the bad info earlier.
