If you select "All" it'll FC, select any one like web or market which you use the most and it won't FC
HIT 'THANKS' IF I HELPED
Isn't searching all the whole point of google search? And why does it have this error anyway? I thought I was the only one.
I've read this somewhere before. Ice Cream Sunday is BAREBONES, that means it has stripped off a lot of stuff, including what seems to be a dependency of the Search function. I've read about a fix talking about installing something related to voice search. If you want, you could try googling around for it, I lost it. I just left it broken since all I wanted was to search the web anyway, so like Curius7, I simply set it to search the web only.

I am using the newiest Synergy rom. It is great!!! I have one issue and unforunatly it's a big one. When you goto people and type a name it does not search. It will highlight the first letter of the first name and stop. It should search through the whole list and bring up best matches or goto search the corp lookup. It only brings up the corp lookup if I choose to not view any contacts. So for example if I open people and type dave it will highlight the first d it finds then stop. I use the corp lookup all the time and need this feature. I also noticed that it will not auto search in messages either. PLEASE can anyone help? This is by far the best rom I have tried. I have done a complete reinstall. Wiped everything. Reformatted sd card etc.. I am very familiar with android phones and this has me stumped.
this is a known bug, the devs are working on it.
ah thanks
Do you know of a thread I can follow?

Hello,
I just purchased a Galaxy S II, model SHW-M250S. However, I do not think it came with the voice talk software. Does anyone know why that would be? Any way to add it to the phone (other than vlingo from the app store) I have been trying to figure it out online for a little bit now so I am posing the question to those with a lot more knowledge about phones than myself. Thank you.
You mean a voice command application? Vlingo is the closest you can get right now.
Yes voice commands. I thought the GS2 came with a "voice talk" application preloaded. In videos I have seen users just click applications and it is right but my phone lacks this.
There are three, voice talk, voice command, and voice search. Not sure what are the difference among them as they all seem to do more or less the same thing.
Sent from my phone via tap tap tap
Hmm, well I have the voice search but it just searches google. It won't open apps or let me dictate messages or anything.
You are right, I got them confused, voice search does google, but the other two more or less do the same thing. They should all be in your app drawer.
I don't think they are I wonder how it got left off the phone? Kinda disappointing. Too expensive of a phone to be missing stuff imo.
I have been searching high and low for an APK that has those, but I have not come up with anything so far... lost it when I flashed a complete WIPE custom rom... I'll be ever so thankful if anybody uploads or directs me to said APK...

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,

Hello!
Can anyone upload Switch To Windows Phone *.apk here? I want to switch, but this app isn't available in my country and I don't know why.
There it is: here
You should try Google it yourselft first. There is no link to APK in Google yet, all pages links only to Google Play.

The irony of this ^ jerk's response is that googling it, brings you to this very forum thread.
I have very little respect for people who tell others to "Google it", on forums that are popular enough to become part of the Google results themselves. Sure, you perhaps cause that one single OP to do a bit more independent research the next time around, but you waste the time of hundreds of subsequent readers that land on your valueless comment AS THE RESULT OF DOING THEIR OWN RESEARCH.
Anyone have the APK?
I know you guys can download it from google play, but when I try it says 'This item cannot be installed in your device's country.' I get that a lot.
Usually I search APP apk and get it, but for this app everyone seems to be pointing to google play and that doesn't help me.
So If anyone knows a direct download for the APK please post it here thankyou.
Here you go
Can anybody please tell me what happened to the Google search bar (see screenshot)? Anyone else got this problem?

What "useless"? Searching for a useful answer and not for such a useless comment! Tried to find something in the web. Couldn't find anything regarding my request. Since my last device restart the Google search looks like in my screenshot. Square, simple and without the "G" logo and microphone.

Don't wanna blaim anything nor anyone. I just wanna know if it is normal and if someone else's got the same look of the search bar. Is it kind of new design or is it an ui failure on Sony devices. That's all. Hope some useful answers will follow!?

Yes I know. But it's kinda implemented in the Sony UI. And no one else of my friends with smartphones from different brand got the Search bar looking like in my Sony at the moment. And I don't mean the widget. I am talking about the Sony Homescreen setting option.
That's a Google mandated feature for "Android" phones. A lot of people change launchers to get rid of the search bar. You could do the same to change it.
I quickly switched back to the Xperia Home launcher to take a look and yes my google search bar is the same as yours now. All generic looking rectangle. I tried changing the way it looks in the google app, I tried clearing cache and data of both the google app and the xperia home app, and nope, it stays that way. It maybe a bug introduced by Sony, or it maybe on purpose, we will never know. Sony's customer service is one of the worst ones out there when it comes to communication so asking them will probably never work.
(I use nova, but unlike all these "elitists" I do not scold ppl for using something they prefer and I try to help them if I can, so on the behalf of the old xda when there used to be more helpful ppl compared to the current generation, I apologize)

While it maybe mandatory to have the search bar a part of the launcher, it is not forced upon the user they way you mentioned, as we can opt to not show the search bar in the Xperia Home launcher settings. We don't need to change launchers just to get rid of it like how you implied.

Thank you very much. That's kind of answer I was looking for. Just wanted to know if someone else got the same. So I don't have to look for a solution or start troubleshooting. Will stay with. For voice requests I can still use the assistant button and for the rest the search bar is still working the same.
I'm on stock Android 12 with stock Sony launcher. Mine looks the same as always

Just done the same test also. I can confirm I have the same issue.
Currently on FW 61.1.A.11.36 if it makes any difference.
I use Lawnchair so this issue doesn't really effect me, but still Sony should fix it.

Found the same request in the Sony Support Forum but no answer/response yet.
Sony Xperia 5 II Search bar is strange
I have a strange search bar. I made a screen capture video and took a picture from it, of topic question, can you make a screen copy of the home screen in an android phone? As you see in the bottom the search widget is square and not with the Google G. Just the word Sök, Swedish for search...

FYI: Issue got solved due to the current Google app update!
