Title: Nexus Owner Picture
Post by: Melliejoy on December 14, 2012, 01:02:57 AM

So they say insanity is repeating the same action while expecting different results...

I've had Edi for about 2 days now and she is AMAZING. I love jellybean, olive project butter, the 7 inch screen. Everything.

My only issue so far is in the settings. Under "users" I can see my name and a generic picture. When I press it, assuming to customize the picture as it also appears in the notification panel, it tells me settings has stopped working, and returns to the previous screen. Is this because the picture cannot be changed? Or is it a solveable issue?

Thanks.

The picture is connected to Google+, if you don't have a Google+ account set up or you have disabled it that could be why your settings stop working...
To change your profile picture on Google+ you'll need to log in via a PC browser.

Thanks for your reply,

I already had a Google+ set up, so I went on my computer and changed the picture anyway. I then re-started my N7 to be safe. Nothing. Still no picture, still an error message when I tap it.

I know I'm being nit-picky... sorry. :)

Go to menu > settings > users> select your profile. From there you can change the settings.

On another note... you named your Nexus? I find that endearing!

The path you just outlined is where my problem is. It's whenever I press on my profile to change the picture that it says "unfortunately settings has stopped" and returns me to the previous screen.

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem or just know what's going on?

You have a Google+ account but have you signed-in on the Google+ app on your Nexus 7?

Don't worry about it, we all have to learn somehow.
Glad you've sorted it anyway...

Definitely no need to feel that way.  By posting your question, you not only found out the answer for yourself, but for all of us other forum members that didn't know.
