I have an Evo 4G and am thinking about moving to the galaxy S2 when released on my carrier. I have a question. Without the search button on the GS2, are you able to search for emails (sender, subject, etc.) through the touchwiz 4 stock mail app? This may seem like an archaic question, but I'm having trouble finding a solid answer.
Thanks for the help!

It has a search button mate, just hold the menu button
This might even be standard android, try it on your evo?
Thanks, I knew that worked on stock android, I just didn't know if things were different on Touchwiz.
Concerning my Evo, holding menu pops up a keyboard, but when I type something, nothing happens. When I hit the search button, a keyboard and text box appear and I am able to search.

That's a launcher thing, not a stock Android thing. Are you using Sense or, by any chance, Launcher Pro?
I am using Sense. Thanks for the insight

Anyone running ICS can easily remove voice talk (Vlingo) by installing go launcher from the market, go to apps drawer ,long press on voice talk,hit delete, Vlingo gone....uninstall go launcher..done! No rooting required.

Brilliant! I hate this app. I always seemed to double press Home by accident. I use Go Launcher anyway, and somehow didn't think to try uninstalling Voice Talk

I've had Molten 2.1 since the day ryman released it, and it's running great but, just realized that when I hold down the search button ScreenGrabber is activated rather than Voice Search.
I flashed it over stock GB 2.3.4.
I checked ScreenGrabber for any options to disable this but there are none.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
And thanks to ryman for the awesome ROM. It runs great.

Just making sure but, are you sure your not pressing screen grabber because sometimes that app drawer can be a little crazy. It works flawless for me so idk.

I think he is referring to the actual hardware button
I think the solution would be to just tap the button, not hold.
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
Yeah. When you hold down search button on the phone (actual hard button) it opens up screen grabber. I like it though.

For me, the short-push brings up web search, not the voice app. I like the screen grabber but would rather have the voice-command app back on the long-push. That's the one I'd want more readily available, anyway...

Are you wanting to voice search the net? If so there is a voice button on that search bar when you short press.

Have you tried going to settings, applications, and browse the all tab for screengrabber. select it and pick clear defaults. See if that helps, I have yet to try Molten, don't know if this will help/work. Good Luck

Sorry for the late reply.
In stock and previous versions of Molten, when I press and hold the Search hard button, it would open Voice Commands. As someone mentioned, it's great for driving and being lazy. Currently, it opens up screengrabber.
You cannot clear the defaults on screengrabber. I backed it up and uninstalled it with TB. That is a crappy work around but it does work. Although, it doesn't work with a Bluetooth hands free device. Pressing the search key used to open voice commands, now it simply calls back your most recent call.
I haven't had time to flash M2.2 but I will. Thanks again for the help!

Seems like voice search is turned on lol... Are you rooted? Is the phone brand ass new lol ?
Never heard of the issue? What hboot are you 1.5? What software are you on 2.08 or 2.17?
its a new phone with htc updates not rooted and this is really weird. No matter what browser i use it activates the stupid google voice search and closes my browser. Is there a way to disable the voice search? Or is this phone toast?

There should be I am tryin to figure out why the search would be stuck on that is the part im kinda stumped on.. Never had that search part come on by it's self....
Only way I can turn google voice on in the browser such as you described is to hit the search button in the corner soft key and hit the micro phone in the top right corner of the screen while on the net...
I would try a factory reset.... Do you have any funky 3rd party apps running? From the market like free ones that have permission's they shouldn't have?
You're not accidentally holding the search key are you?

Lol that's what I was getting tooo. Hope that is all it was .. I dunno why it would FC the browser tho... Unless you hold it down and it doesn't know what to do if it keeps tryin to open so it closes everything... If that's not it then it could be a 3rd party app or a factory reset is needed.....
I tried to do it to mine.... Only way I could get voice search to pop up was to hit search button and hit the micro phone in the corner...
Try
Settings/search/searchable items. Then uncheck "voice search" and see if that helps any. If not then try cleaning data on voice search and stock browser to see if it will help any. Also depending on what keyboard you use you could look in the keyboard settings to put the "voice search" option on the symbols keyboard or disable it. Hope this helps.

Well the way i hold the phone is right hand near the camera area and left hand near the volume area. And when i open a browser and go to Craigslist for example eventually very quickly this dam Google voice thing pops up and shut my browser down. Perhaps theirs a short on the phone and it triggers this voice crap or its a setting. But my phone is stock and i did a factory reset and it still does it. Guess this evo i got is buggy. Not a clue what it could be.
What I suggested can be done on stock/unrooted rom.
#Root-Hack\Mod*Always_
""Shooter on Deck""
I have posted this in a few different forums, but no one seems to know the answer. Various people are/have tried looking, but I thought I’d try xda also and see if any developers etc. know my answer.
I’m running the stock firmware, with CleanRom 4.3 ICS and the patch to sync it with the stock firmware. I love the new ICS “recent apps” or multi tasker or whatever it’s called. I really want to use it more, and I’m slightly jealous of my brothers Nexus that has a dedicated button for this. Currently I have to “hold” the home button to get this to pull up.
I use the “search” button on my Rezound about once a month, if that. Therefore, here is what I want to do. I want to switch the search button to “multi-task”. I want to switch “long-press” search to regular search, and I want to switch long-press home to voice search.
I found that you can use root explorer and go to /system/usr/keylayout. If you open atmel-touchscreen.kl and change KEY 217 SEARCH to KEY 217 APP_SWITCH and reboot it gets me in the right direction. However, this opens the old GingerBread “Recent Apps” box. So my question is this. Does anyone know where the “long-press” soft keys are set? If I can find where they are set, I can see what long-press home is set to, switch that to search, etc. etc. and get it set the way I want. I’ve searched through most of /system/usr, as well as other places and haven’t had much luck. In my mind, it seems like long-press has to be their somewhere since every other key is in that area.
If anyone can give any suggestions or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
So with 134 views and no responses, I'm thinking no one in the Rezound area is sure of an answer. Can I repost this in just the general android section without getting in trouble? I figure its probably pretty similar on all android OS, and maybe someone else knows the answer?

In previous versions of the Shostock ICS ROM, when I used voice commands with my Blueant Q2 headset, it automatically used Samsung Voice Command for making hands-free calls (worked great). But since I upgraded to 4.1.4, it defaults to Google Voice Dialer and then doesn't work. I can't find GVD in the applications list to deactivate nor can I find a way to make SVC the default.
Shoman didn't have any idea about the problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
I think shoman misunderstood your original question when he responded about installing SVC yourself, but you only gave him a couple hours to respond to your clarification about setting the default before you posted over here.
Which voice command pops up for you now when you press the search button on the phone? The Google Now one that has "Search, or say Google" in the search bar or a different one?

When I press the button my Blueant Q2 headset, the Google Voice Dialer pops up. The little red circle to the right of Google then has a never-ending circling line and GVD never seems to engage.
I want SVC to pop up, not GVD.
Does that help? Can you help?
BTW, I just upgraded to Shostock 4.1.4.
Gotcha. I think I understand. Have you tried a long press on your phone's search button to pop up all search/dial options and set Samsung's to default?

When I press the Search button, Google Now popped up, but I told it "Maybe Later."
I just tried long pressing Search, per your suggestion, and set Samsung Voice Talk as the default. After that, when I long press Search SVC comes up. But when I use my headset, GVD still pops up.
Other ideas?
I do appreciate the help...
After messing around some, this seems to be a problem with 4.1.4. I use AVX as my default and hadn't gotten around to reinstalling it since I flashed shoman's latest. After restoring it, I set it to default and am having the same exact deal as you, a press on the search button opens Google Now but my headset starts the Google dialer with the spinning red circle even though my default is set to something else. A long press on the search button will open my default, though.
Just flashed back to 4.1.2 and the problem persisted, so it isn't the latest version of the Shostock ROM.
So what has changed? I don't know. But being able to voice dial while driving is essential for me and I can't do it now.
Thoughts?

It's more than that. Before Google Now, a press on the phone's search button opened whatever your default was set to (same as a long press on my Plantronics set). Now, a press always opens Google Now's search, and a long press opens your default. I could live with that, but our headsets now always open up neither, it starts the old google voice command. Pretty funky.

Hardly an "epic fail" on your part given the awesome ROM that you have created.
Any solution?
I restored back to 4.1.1 and it works great. As I need hands-free, I'll stick with that until this problem gets ironed out (or you create a JB ROM!).
