Selected wrong country in setup guide - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I selected the UK as my country by accident when selecting my language/country. I noticed when I open some apps like amazon it open the UK version. I can't find a way to change it back to English Canada...I know factory reset will help but just spent half the day setting up everything. Plus I'm not at home.

Did you try changing language under the language and input settings? I'm not certain it will fix it but worth a try.

Sankofa is correct. My wife has had this issue with some apps showing different country versions. I'd change your region correctly in Language & Input, uninstall the offending app, reboot and reinstall. Should sort it out.

Yes I changed the language in the settings. Just had to change the settings manually in certain apps.

[Q] ZTE V970 Greek

Hi, i'm new here and i want to buy the Zte V970. Is there a Rom that has the greek language in? I don't want to buy it rooted because the custom rom (in greek) from the store i'll buy sucks...
No one?
That would be in language and input in settings go to the keyboard setting and change it to Greek. I don't know if there is a complete Rom that's in Greek. Hopefully you can find one its a shame that Android doesn't have this already implemented

To do that, i have to add the rom the store offers, but it's kind off messed up ( half the menu is translated in greek). I don't mind having the menu in english, aslong as i can add a greek keyboard for SMS.
You should be able to do that natively i have that option i uploaded some screenies if you are able to play with the phone before you buy it check it out its probably not exactly the same as my phone but it should be a similar way to access it

Also there is apps like go sms pro that allows you to download a Greek keyboard for sms . there is alot of Greek keyboards on the Android market that are probably free.

Everything sorted out...the new rom has greek language installed!
I have a problem though with the new rom v3.0. After installing it, the screen tuns on at different times of the day without me touching the phone. It is like the power buttons gets pressed for a sec. Just now it did it 6 times with 5-7 secs between them. Does anyone else has that issue?
I also unistalled all the apps i used, just in case, but the issue remaines. If i wipe and install the rom again will that help?
You can always try but honestly it might just be a hardware error but you never know until you try

I hope you are wrong, because yesterday i wiped and installed again the new rom. With no apps installed so far so good fingers crossed...
well hopefully I'm wrong but those problems are either your phone can't process the hardware button presses fast enough (eg you press lock button 5 times and it starts to spaz out, or a button is stuck or being constantly pressed on somehow

Its a custom rom, so maybe the rom itself blocked the I out settings? Look into downloading an android Greek keyboard, or whatever language you need for your phone

Camera app disappeared

Hi, I'm new in this forum and also I'm a new android user. I got this phone yesterday and it came with the 4.1.2 update, it is working fine and all, but today something strange happened, my phone freezes up while I was watching a video, it rebooted itself and then, the camera app was gone, and the gallery app also seems to have disappeared, although they both appear on the settings/apps menu. I would like to know what can I do to solve this, please as I don't understand this system well.

Are you using a custom launcher? Most custom launches have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Check in the launcher settings for an unhide option.

Go to the app menu where you see the apps. Touch and hold your finger on the app for a second or 2 that you want back on one of your home pages. The home pages should show up and simply drag the app where ever you want it. Move your apps around like this and you can change the apps on the bar on the bottom of the screen the same way.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work out. Unfortunately, I didn't had any other choice but to factory reset my device and now I have the camera back, but thank you for the fast answer!

Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I am having the exact same issue!
Anyone actually got it working? If so, how?
Many thanks!
have you installed a 3rd party keyboard?
i'm using swift key and all is well, but i thought i read somewhere that keyboards may cause an issue with the voice recognition thing
edit: i've been testing and it's working fine here
I can get to it to work on nexus 7 but not the 5

Sswipe left to the Google Now page and scroll down to the settings. Press Voice > Language and then English... > English (US). Then it will work.

You need to switch the language of Google Now to US English in the settings. Currently doesn't work in any other language unfortunately (even other forms of English!). Hope for update to fix this soon.
I don't see why Google couldn't do at least the other forms of English too. I mean, much less work than a completely different language. They already have voice recognition for all English sublangugaes, makes no sense to me why they couldn't enable it for UK English when the device can recognise the words 'OK Google' in my British accent just fine.
There have been a couple of times where it opens after saying Google now, but then hangs while trying to recognise what I've said and it sucks the battery (shows a lot of use under google services and google search), I have to restart the phone before it then works again.
Thanks guys much appreciated

App preferences.

Hello, I had unlocked and rooted my phone. Still on stock.
Here's my question/problem:
When I was on Facebook and there was a video posted; I could choose what player I wanted or I could use a EZ-Downloader to download the file to view off Facebook.
All of a sudden I dont have that option any more.
Can some of you awesome gurus here guide me in the right direction to get that option back?
Go to settings select the app that you set as default and hit clear defaults.
FYI this should be in questions thread.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You must have clicked always instead of just once one of the times you selected one of your options. Go to settings/apps find that app and click on clear defaults. That should free you up.

[Q] Choosing toolbox crashes settings

As title, I'm running 5.02 (Netherlands) on a P900. Everything is pretty good and I can switch on toolbox but if I actually select toolbox then settings crashes. Any ideas?
EDIT: Did a data wipe and that fixed it. Wiping the cache did not sadly.

Same thing happened to me, after going to the notification panel and switching it on from there, it stopped freezing and is working like normal

Same problem with my US version and 5.02. I did a Wipe Cache and that didn't solve it. Also, I don't have the tool from the notification panel, just in the Settings. I am not ready to factory reset.

Try just turning it on, then let it force close, hold the toolbox, then go up to edit, then it should work from there

1. Turn it ON
2. Press and HOLD and drag it UP to edit
3. You will find a list of apps. Choose 5 favorites
4. Click DONE.
5. Go back to the settings, and you will see it active

Thank you. I can confirm that it works now.
I think it's the initial set up that's causing it to crash. Once you have one app on the toolbox, setting no longer crashes when pressing toolbox.

Well, I did figure it out in the original post
Looks like we have a way that doesn't involve a data wipe now though, so that's better
Thanks, this worked.

Wish I would have read this before I did a hard reset
Oh, that's what those 3 dots are!
Thanks, Yoshi! I've been trying to figure out what those 3 Dots were once my Note Pro "downgraded" to 5.02.
I'm having crashes with Toolbox as well. Once I followed your instructions, the 3-dot icon had the apps I picked. Then I realized this was "Toolbox". Of course, a little documentation about what was being changed by version 5.02 would have been a great help. But it seems like it costs too much nowadays to create documents along with hardware/software.
But why would I need Toolbox when I've been using Slider Launcher app for a few months to do the same thing? And Slider doesn't have the 5 app restriction of Toolbox as well.
Now if I can only get my Logitech Pro keyboard and the Samsung keyboard to work like they did under 4.4, and the S-Note widget to show all my notes ... well, here's hoping 5.03 will be soon coming and enhance my tablet instead of degrade it.
