Language selection pops up after every boot.

[BMan]

After every reboot, I first get the language selection option. Not a big problem, but I prefer not to have to select the language every time.

Anyone any ideas how to switch this off?

funny ive had this issue as well... not sure what can be done. id love the solution too.

What happens if you try your phone with another SIM-card? Also make sure that it's a micro SIM and not a mini SIM that's been cut.

Thxs Rickard, will try what you suggest. I started using the phone without a SIM in place, maybe that has something to do with it? Would a factory reset help?

And what's the technical difference between a cut mini SIM and a micro SIM in this case. I now have a "real" micro SIM, but started with a cut mini SIM.

Sometimes the chip itself can differ in size and contact surface.

I remember this from way back, and if changing the SIM won't do the trick I suggest that you try reinstalling the phone software. That should definitely fix this.

My phone does this also, but i bought my phone as sim free and i had my original sim card cut to fit the micro profile used on the Z1.

Hi Johan,

Just updated the software (after an incredible slow download of 700mb), but it's still the same. Will now try the factory reset and really hope I don't need to do the download again (with the phone connected to USB during the whole time!).

BMan, please let us know how this goes. this language selection is such a major issue when it comes to restarting the phone. 

Hope you have some good luck with it....

Finally did a factory reset which indeed solved the problem. Thxs all for the help.

kinda sad but i really dont feel like doing a factory reset at the moment ;( might wait till the next update to do so... dont wanna muck around with my settings just yet.
