App preferences. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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] No YouTube

My Nexus S is on 2.3.3 and I wiped everything on it so I can start fresh again. For some odd reason my YouTube doesn't work anymore. I see the app under manage apps & "all" but does not have an icon in my app drawer. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
Uninstall it and then re-download it from the market.

It doesn't even give me an option to. Under market and YouTube, I see the "Open" icon but its not highlighted. It won't let me open through there. You think downloading the same version of it and trying to install it would work?
Go to manage apps and then go to YouTube and uninstall from there.

Doesn't give me an option in there either. Nothing is lite up for me to do anything except for clear cache.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Settings - Applications - Manage Applications. Find the Gallery that you selected and choose it. Now click "Clear Defaults". Next time it should ask you what app you want to use to open the picture
Hahaha yeah I Eventually found it but thanks for the response

Stuck notifications.

Phone tried to download facebook but network was off. Notification still shows downloading. Notification wont go away.
I tried rebooting...uninstalling and reinstalling app. Still wont go away.
What can i do?

It still shows it as an active download right? Tried clearing notifications with the X (rather than swiping away)? What happens if you tap on it?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
There is no x on it. Clicking on it closes the notification window. It doesn't do anything like bring me into the market.
Do i need to clear an app's data or cache?
Does it make a difference that im on tweaked 3.0?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
My wife's phone has the same issue. Tweaked 3.0. I don't use Facebook, so no issues with mine.
I suspect it's a Facebook app. problem, but I haven't had time to dig into it.
Any ideas? what have you tried on your wife's phone? Maybe together we can figure it out.

I got it. This should work for you:
Go in to Settings
Select Applications
Select Manage Applications
Select “All Apps”
Select the ‘Facebook’ app
Under ‘cache’ – click [Clear cache]
Clear Data – click [Clear data]
Go back to list of Manage Applications
Select the Download Manager
Under ‘cache’ – click [Clear cache]
Clear Data – click [Clear data]
Reboot if you feel the need.
Good luck!
Rememo, you da man. Clearing the data in download manager got everything back to normal. Thanks much

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!

Share via menu disappeared in Chrome?

Who has this problem? Usually when I share from Chrome I get the legendary share via menu and I just dazzle myself sharing left and right now its gone. Instead I get a pop message that says copied to clipboard and I have to go to the app I wanna share it with and paste like I'm an iPhone user or something. Who else has this problem?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
It sounds like you replaced the default share setting. Try opening the Chrome app info and 'Clear defaults'.
I tried that. But I just tried to share fro. The xda app to Pocket which I usually do through the share button now it does the same thing!? Weird!!!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
This is so weird my share via menu is gone from almost the entire system. I get it when I screen shot from the notification center and in the gallery when I try to share pix or vidz.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Alright I fixed it. You need to go to Apps I. Settings and go to the 3 dot menu on top right and reset apps preferences like so. Yay!
