I'm approaching completion on my first OpenGL ES game (yay!) but just recently ran into an odd issue with texture filtering. I was trying to improve the game's performance when linear filtering suddenly broke. Code when creating textures was this:

glGenTextures(1, &textureID);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE); 
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);  
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data);

But now, I'm having to set the texture parameters when binding textures and rendering geometry. Is this normal and was it just a fluke that it was working before?

You only need to set it once for each texture.

You only need to set it once for each texture.

So why is it not working unless I re-set it during rendering?

Unbind the texture after you are done creating it to make sure you are not accidentally changing its properties later.

glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0 );

Sorry, I forgot to include that line. I already was / am doing that.

Search your project for GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER and check every location where you are calling that.

After you have set the GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER property on your texture, you do not need to change it. Therefore you need to focus your search on where you are re-binding that texture (unintentionally) and changing its GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER.
Check every location where you use GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, and be sure of exactly which texture is bound. It may not be the one you think.
