How do I search emails w/ default Email App? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't seem to find a way to do this.. the google search on the main screen doesn't return email results and the default email client 3.1 (non UX) does not have a search dialog box (that I can find)
Thanks!

open your email and look at the top right hand corner you see the symble that looks like a magnify glass, click on that and search away

HTC home screen sliding panel improvements

Hello.
I like the HTC home screen sliding panel, but some things I am missing and some things I dont need on it in the standard configuration which is delivered with the Rose.
I was missing:
- graphical notification of all sms, mms, missed calls, voice mails and emails like in the normal windows panel and working with these events from this row
I didnt need:
- sms/mms and email notification in separate rows (wasting of place)
- favourite homepages
- music player
All you need to do it, is to change one row in the HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml located in the folder AplicationData/Home/:
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CWindowsLive;CAppointments;HTCWeather;Settings" CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel" SMSMMSOverride="false" EmailOverride="false" >
You wil find this row easy.
Beside this I removed the "background picture changing option" and the "ringing tones changing option" from the Setting row of the HTC home panel. I really dont need it so much, not necessary to be on the home screen.
You can do this by changing the registry in:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome/Settings/
Registry field called: Pages - simply delete the names of the pages you dont want to have in the Setting row on the homescreen (in my case the backgroud picture and ringing tones), it is very easy.
Hope this will help.
search icon ???
Dear members !
Does anybody know how to put search icon to desktop ? Like HTC-diamond or touch-pro has it ! One guy sad that edition for smartphone doesn't have it, but sorry, I am not happy with that answer?! If I demonstrate for example: I search aplication to search surname "Novak" client through outlook calendar and contacts and notes....and all other aplications which phone has! It would mean a lot to me!
Best regards, Dejan U.

Apparently this is not built in.

Need to add contacts to my screen where single click makes call

I am running Kaos Froyo 35-1. I have tried different options, but I can't find a nice widget that lets me add contacts to one of my screens where I can click the picture and it calls the number. It always brings up the options for text, phone call, and mostly their details.
The original HTC widget did this, and I checked out the Launcher Pro People widget..and nothing quite works.
I am doing this for my kids in case they need to call my family members and don't need a course in Eris development 101
Any suggestions or apps to try?
check out Scrollable Contact Widget.
its a two click option, shows pictures of your choice of contacts (starred or category), once you click the persons name it asks you call, text, email... you click one of those and it goes.
nice app, could be tweaked to work faster though. but the best one i've seen. It requires you use ADW or LP
I've never tried this particular widget, nor do I know the developer, but ran across this over at AndroidForums awhile ago, and your post reminded me of it. They do have a free version so you can try it out and see if you like it.

I use "Contact Widget". It's free on the market and works great.

I don't believe it works with facebook sync, but I don't use facebook sync at all anymore anyway. "SyncMyPix" (also free on the market) will grab all your facebook photos for existing contacts and add them to your google contacts. You can do this once and remove the app since all info is updated to the actual google contact. Or you can use it to update periodically.

You're looking for a shortcut, not a widget
Look under shortcuts, not widgets.

Very simple in Froyo. Find a blank space on your phone and long press. Choose custom shortcut - press "select activity" - scroll down and pick "DIRECT DIAL". Next choose the contact from the list that pops up with number you want and press it. It will then add a 1 click dial icon to the home screen with picture.
Be sure to pic the correct contact and number from the list. For example if your kid's phone has "Mom" as a contact with a home/work/ & cell number when the list pops up to choose from you will actually see 3 "moms" listed with the three different numbers.

[Q] GTAB using GHarmony (Gingerbread) v2.3 settings for the Web Browser

XDA Developers - You are AWESOME and I want to THANK YOU for everything you are doing!!!
I have enjoyed doing MODs of my GTAB and have followed you, the developers here, for getting the Gingerbread Version v2.3 loaded without issue. Yes it was a process, but I followed your advice and got it done without bricking my GTAB!
I was pleasantly surprised that it kept all of my Market Purchases. However, a few things have come up and wanted to ask if someone would answer my questions?
1. In TnT Lite I could set the Browser to be viewed as a standard Web Page or for use on a TABLET. I like the TABLET setting better than a standard web page.
I use "Google Toolbox" for my email and in tablet mode it has a left window frame for messages and a right frame for viewing the message. It is perfect for use on this GTAB.
In the standard web view, it only shows a list of messages frame. I like the TABLET option and cannot now change the settings on this v2.3.
Is there a way to have a gear on the web browser to allow us to select which options we like, for example, which view we want? Or is there another method for me to make this change?
2. In TNT Lite I liked having the options of a "home, back and a Line" from the side of the GTAB listed on the status bar. In using this new Gingerbread v2.3, I can only use the ones on the side of the tablet because they are not on the status bar.
At night, when it is dark, it is nice to have those buttons on the top row of the status bar.
Is there a way to put the side button's onto the status bar?
Thanks Again!

[Q] ICS Buddy/Contact Widget

Hi, has the the +buddy widget been removed in ICS? Ive tried using the contact widget but it displays the picture then a large grey box containing that contacts status update. Is there anyway just to display the picture? Thanks
Not sure what u mean but if u are taking about the popup when u press a contact image then its a ics feature
Noo, Im talking about the actual widget. What I have now for a contact on my homescreen is a picture of the contact, then to the right a grey box containing their status update. This is without clicking on it. I was just wondering if its possible just to have a 1x1 contact widget.
I have seen it mentioned while googling but i cant seem to get it on my s2
I think you want to create a shortcut.
Long press the home screen->pick Shortcut" and then pick Contact, Direct dial or Direct message.
Thats the one! I was only checking widgets.
Can we not resize widgets in touchwiz? Thought that was a big feature of ics..

I know what you're talking about. I also liked buddy widget instead of contact shortcut.
Direct dial shortcut is useful in some cases. But having a contact buddy widget was very useful.
Contact shortcut does the same job, but it displays much smaller pic with contact name below it.
I liked the way buddy widget displayed large pic. If we are putting a contact on screen, we would obviously know the name of that contact. Having a large pic displayed was cool. Unfortunately ICS seems to have taken it away.
Solution?
Has anyone managed to find a viable alternative to the 'buddies' widget?
As mentioned in the above posts, the two stock options in ICS are:
- Contacts widget - this gives a small thumbnail of the contact with a 'side tag' which displays a status update if available
or
- Contact shortcut - this shows the contact's thumbnail only; however, it's really quite small.
Neither are ideal on the SGS2. Even worse on the GNote. The contacts widget takes up too much space (ie a full row) and the shortcut is too tiny. A hunt in the market hasn't come up with much either.

Nexus 10 themes and search

Hello I have by one day the Nexus 10 is amazing just I have maybe an easy questions but Maybe you k o:
1.-I have an amazon kindle and it has a search button to look for applications installed inside the device and easily you can find anything if you have tons of apps. Now the question in Nexus 10 is there a way to search for applications installed inside the device? I tried to use the search options but all jump me to google in internet not inside the device. And I ask because try to find applications via icons wjen you have so many is very hard.
2.-Someone can suggest me good themes animated or non animated to look for or buy?
Thank you
field3d,
Just by tapping the icon, that looks like a circle with a grid of 6 small squares, you will bring up a full screen of app icons (likely multiple pages worth) in one tab "Apps" and the other tab "widgets". Collectively those two tabs display are all the software apps you have installed on your tablet.
Also start the Google Play store app and from there you can tap the icon with a down arrow ending in a short line (top right side) and it will display a screen with two tabs "Installed" and "All". The "Install" list of apps are all the software you installed from the Google Play store.
Thank you for answer.

Thank you for answer. I did what you said but really I mean a search button or maybe one application to look for specific apps inside all I have installed, because I see all the apps but going between pages and icons I'm lost trying to find for specific application. Any way to search for a specific app in Nexus 10. For example the iPad, iPhone or in general iOs if you press twice the home appears a search to look for a specific application to avoid go between pages and lost. The kindle in the main post I said has similar, it has a little search applicatin and with that application you can find an app easily and avoid to read pages and pages an icons. Is there a way similar than that in Nexus 10?
Note: The search application in Nexus 10 only redirects me to web and find on google for Internet topics, this is different of what I want like you see.
Any suggestion?
Thank you
Google now tablet search
