I like the Pocket IE home page with its search, history, favourites.
But i dont like the way it uses live.com for its search.
So you can make a quick regedit and now it uses google.
Original Value of
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Page"
"http://mobile.live.com/search/results.aspx?q=%s&d=aloc"

senergy, since you know how to create cab.
can you create this cab to fix the softkey calendar to switch to agenda
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
"Open"="\Windows\Calendar.exe"
This is the problem with the latest LVSW
after applying the google hack, it seems there's a problem with more than one word searching! has anyone else experience this??
From the PIE home page multiple word searchs work fine but from WML they dont, it seems WML passes the info with html tags such as %20 for spaces. Not sure how to get around that besides not using WML
oh I see! thanx for the response!

how to change back to the original settings for WML?
I dont seem to have a copy of the original settings.
If someone can go into their phones registry and tell me what the value of
HKLM/Services/Windows Live/HSAppPlugins/SearchURL
Then i will make cab to restore the settings.
Senergy,
The original value is: http://mobile.live.com/search/Results.aspx?q=
Hope this is what you were looking for.

Thanks,
Here is a cab to return WML Search to its original value.
working great!
after more than a year, it still working!
thank you very much!
Better:
http://google.com/m/search?q=%s
%s passes the string from the input field in the PIE home page, but if you follow link here, it will give a google error
try this:

Hey Folks,
Anyone know where the registry files for the sliding keyboard sounds are?
I have been looking in HKLM\Software\HTC as other devices have a SlidingSound(s) DIR, but no joy...
Had a massive search through the forum but not found anything?
I know the default sound files are .wav and named #.wav, #_in.wav and #_out.wav under windows DIR where the # is a number, the deafults being 0-2, but not located the registry keys associated with them?
Thanks in advance.
MBP
Try here:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SlidingIn
and
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SlidingOut
Hope that helps
Hi, I found this 30 mins after my post using the search on Total Commander thanks anyway.
This has worked, however i have no option to select my new sounds in the sounds menu?
Any other Idea's. I expect there to de a configuration file somwhere that sets the menu options. I will keep digging but if anyone knows where this is or knows if i'm heading down the wrong route then please do voice your guidence.
Thanks MBP
Hi Everyone,
First of all I apologies for my bad English.
I got my Gen8 5 days ago and I use it mainly for my work.
I can access some files in my company's internal website by clicking some "icon".
It works fine on my PC/netbook, when I click on the "icon", it pop up a window and ask me to open / save / cancel. And I got the file I want.
But when I using android system, it end up saved a .htm file without asking me open / save / cancel. and the htm file is small and nothing like the file I open in PC.
what I found/did :
1) my company's internal website use .jsp
2) I can bypass this problem on my android phone by using opera mini (HTC Desire), but it doesn't work if I use opera mini on Gen8
3) because I saw .jsp, therefore I also tried install GZL-Jbed-2.2.apk, but it didn't help either.............
4) I tried all kinds of browser that could be download on the market, but none of them works.............
I had been working on this problem for 5 days and I give up......... anyone knows why it works on Desire but not on Gen8? How can I fix it?
Thank you very much.
OH, some more info.
1) I cannot use right click on my company's internal website
2) I cannot ask for help from my company's IT staff because the site works perfectly fine on PC & ipad, the IT staff just told me to get an ipad........
Try to long press (hold your finger on) the icon, then select "save link" from the menu. It probably won't work if the link actually ends in .jsp though.
Instead of trying to download, select to open. It is probably calling a HTML page that starts the download. So if you open the page you should then download the file.
At least that is what it sounds like from your description...
A possible problem is if you told it "always do this action" by selecting that check box the first time you tried this. I don't know how to undo that kind of saved setting...maybe someone else can point you in that direction.

thx.
I just found out, when I put my mouse on the icon (before I click), I saw
javascripterform( xxxxxx, xxxxxx)
would it help????
The problem cannot be in JSP because it is a server-side language. The problem is usually a limited rendering motors that cannot interpret some Javascript code.
Hello to everybody,
I have a small strange thing.
When I use ICS (or ICS+) browser on the xda site and wanting to do a search, here is what happens :
- I touch the "search this forum" button
- it opens the field below
- I touch the "free text area " to start typing
- I see the keyboard sliding up, and then as quickly, it slides back down and the search box closes...
as a result, I can not perform any search on the XDa site.
It does not do that with Opera nor with dolphin.
PS :as a matter of fact, that was yesterday, because this morning, there is not even the "search" button only the "forum tools" one... but I believe it is related to a temporary site issue.
Anyway, has anyone experienced this? Where could it be coming from?
Same here, quite frustrating....
Same here with stock browser.
If you use the keyboard dock it works. But when use a onscreen keyboard you cant type in this sorts of popup text fields
WOW, thanks for bringing this up. I have had this problem for god knows how long. I first noticed it with my rooted HTCEVO. I seem to have this problem with just about all the forums. Now my prime also.
Is it an Android thing? Did it work for you guys with a different browser? Weird, I havent been able to use the function for so long I havent even looked for the search, and now I too see that it is gone. Is it a Vbulletin vs Android thing?
Would love to know the problem/solution.
thanks.....
EDIT: I have a dock, but never tried the search function with it. Now I guess we cant, I dont see the ability to "search this forum". What happened?
Anyway, there seems to be something going on with the search function on the forum now...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528883
edit 05/03/12 : search function is now back on the forum. I'll try again the ICS issue, see if it is still there...
Search function is still not working for me on browser+. However, I know it's not ideal for a quick search, but if it's any consolation the advance search field works.
Kind Regards,

+1 for the "advanced search" option... bothered me at first but, one more click isn't all that bad...
Anyone know how to get Voice Search to work like it's supposed to, to compose e-mails or texts? To elaborate, all instructions I have found, including the video, instruct you to say the following syntax (with the text in brackets being the recipient and your message):
"Send text to [John Smith] [I may be a little late.]"
Problem is that their name never goes into the "To" field, and instead goes into the Message Body field, so I get this:
To:
Message: to John Smith I maybe a little late
Whenever I click into the To: field, select the microphone icon, and speak a person's name, I get the "No Matches Found" error, no matter what name I say. This renders the app completely useless for sending texts and emails. Am I missing something?
I find similar issues but found a method that works for me when I use the built in Voice Search app. I would say "Text - John Smith" and nothing else. You should find the name has been entered into the "To" field. Now hit the Mic icon again and dictate your message, this seems the only way I got it to work, by doing it in two steps. Works the same on email as well.
hmm if i say send text to <person> <text>
it says:
to: <Person> <number>
message: <text>
Seems to be fine for me... CleanRom DE 1.4...

When I saw your post, I was excited, only to be sorely disappointed that I still get the name on the message field. GRRRR!

Wait, what? It works fine for you? Using your same syntax, here's what I get:
If i say send text to <person> <text>
it says:
to:
message: To <Person> <text>
How do we compare what versions we have?
Just try to be more careful in your speaking, and leave a pause between the name of the person and the body of the message.

Huge huge huge tip
Enable the "Personalized Recognition". It will go a LONG way to vastly improving the capabilities of Google's STT. I don't have the clearest voice, and there were some problems I had with STT in general. Once I turned that on, it's gotten much better.
Directly related to your example, I was trying to send a text to my friend Aaron. I think at first it got confused because I literally said 3 names for my text: " Send text to Aaron [pause] Oscar Mike "
At first it put Erin, and had Oscar as a last name. What's awesome is that when it shows those red underlines with an option to delete, I'm pretty sure it learns when you've chosen to delete something. I tried it two more times (2nd time it messed something else up) and on the 3rd try the result was perfect. Now, whenever I send him a text by voice, it always works.
My problem is not with the clarity of my speech, because it actually does recognize what I say quite well. The problem is that it NEVER puts the name in the To: field, even if I don't even say the message part. It ALWAYS puts whatever I say, regardless of what I say, or how I say it, into the Message field. When I click into the To: field and speak a contact's name, 99% of the time it comes back and says No Matches Found.
By comparison, when I choose the standard Messages app, and click in the To: field, it typically finds the right person. But, it sure would be nice if the Voice Seach Message function worked.
When I do Map To and Navigate To and all the other stuff in Voice Search it works just fine. I'm beginning to think there's a bug in the Message part of the version I have. Why else would it skip the To: field altogether? To clarify:
If I say "Send text to John Smith", I get:
To:
Message: To John Smith
If I say the message, too, I get:
To:
Message: To John Smith [message]
are you on GB or ICS?

Yeah, that's odd. If all else fails, make a nandroid backup, fresh wipe/install, and try it again (after turning on personalized results) and see if you still get the same problems. Because I don't really have that issue anymore.
New replacement Rezound unit arrived today to replace the original Rezound for potential hardware issues. Before allowing the unit to update any apps (the other one did update Voice Search), I tried it and got the same results. As far as I can see, Voice Search, on my phone(s) anyways, does not know that the To: field exists! :crying:

That's interesting... my version does not underline anything in red. It bolds stuff in blue! That sure sounds like a completely different app, doesn't it?
BTW, what kind of drum kit do you have?

I am on ICS so that might have something to do with it. I think you're using an older version of voice search...maybe. Maybe that's the problem? Maybe you can sideload the most current Voice Search APK.
I have some cheap crappy drumset that was on sale over 10 years ago. 3 toms with one kick drum (or I guess floor tom is what they're officially called). I've never changed the heads and I still don't exactly understand the methodology of tuning them LOL. Like, I know how to physically do it, but I'm wondering if there's some deeper understanding I have to discover. I did add a DW7000 double kick pedal but I've moved numerous times and lost bits of the hardware. Also added a crash cymbal because it only came with a hi hat and crash/ride combo. I don't even have a throne, I just sit on whatever I can get! :laugh:
A guy I used to live with had a sweet set that he inherited from his cousin. It had so many pieces it needed one of those frame things. I think it had 4 or 5 toms in addition to the kick (with double pedals), and about 5 or 6 cymbals and two cowbells. It was too cramped for me to really make use of the double pedals though. Oh, and it had a mat thing for everything to be placed on. I played the **** out of those things while he played guitar. It was pretty awesome \m/
You?
voice search to text
I'm having the same problem since I updated to ICS .211 . Worked fine and as advertised on GB and Froyo but speaking "send" or "text to Joe" results in "to Joe" being inserted in the message field and nothing in the to field. I've used this many times in the past and have tried every combination I can think of to get it to work. It just doesn't. Also, I no longer have a microphone to click on in the message field to initiate voice to text dictation. ICS seems fine other than this. I should mention that I found this thread because of the problem, not the phone. I'm using a Droid Razr.

I have same problem on HTC One XL stock ICS
Finally, someone else with the same problem. Misery loves company.
As has been the case since getting this Android phone, this is yet another buggy stock utility I've given up hope on getting resolved.
Now, I just say:
Send text [message], which puts the message in the message field. I then click in the To: field, click on the microphone and say just the first name, then scroll to find the proper person (because if I say the full name it always gives a no matches found error).
With so many steps, in the end, the utility is worthless for sending text and email messages. Using the microphone in the regular Message app is faster.
