Hi-Thanks for your reply. I have tried what you suggested and it did not work.I have tried a device reset but that didn't work either. Any more suggestions? I think I might know how it happened I accidentally Clicked an Ad for something called battery optimiser on the browser of my device it downloaded it but I did not install it..could this be the problem?? Thanks for any suggestions. I have also run many anti-virus apps but all have said my device is clear.
Hm, open your browser settings and see what it says under default search engine.

Hi yes its Google.com for my browser but it seems to change with s-voice for some reason.
Is there a fix for this?
Did anyone ever find a fix for this? Whenever S Voice has to do a web search, it takes me to a google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-53243887287072696qccq-17aj&q=suspects#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=suspects&gsc.page=1
The search in this case was for "suspects".
I've recently rooted, but I'm still running the stock ROM (my phone is just rooted)
I've tried clearing the S Voice data and every other search runs fine (Google Voice search, for example). While the S Voice search is not a serious problem, I fear that this may be a symptom of something much deeper. For example, today my clock was several hours off. When it was about 2:30pm , my clock said 1:30am. Don't know if they are related. Just thought I'd throw that in.
All virus scans (Lookout, Avast, AirPush Detector, ect) came up clear.

I just installed Revolution HD 4.1.5 on my Sensation. Been using it about 14 hours. The capacitive buttons never light up. I have tried boot in several ways, slow booting by removing battery and fast boot(with fast boot setting on). Before when I was Revolution 3.6.3. reboot usually solve the problem. Any solution?
The rest of the firmware is Great!!

The four softkey's light can be switched either on and off. you can ask your developers to give you the code to turn it on.

hi, copy all text of URL and paste, then delete space between "09/" AND "HTC-"... I had to place it there because I am new here and I cannot post links.
And other question: I had on my stock ROM htc widgets: battery status and Notes. Now, I cannot find them in HTC hub. And some apps I can't find in market - like skype for example. BTW: there is written "installed" on web market, but some of these apps are not in the phone.
And the last problem... (I hope) ... I have experienced some restarts without obvious reason. Is that caused by OC? Should I flash "1,2GHz script" or wait a few days if it stops :? ... Thanks for answers )

I saw the picture. You can probably call your Rom developers to put it in.
Use "market enabler" to fake t-mobile provider, then open market again, you will have it.
OC will cause those problem. Try to run lower clock. And unstable kernels may lead to those problem too.

I guess I don't know how to use market enabler... I still cannot find for example skype for androind, on the market... Can you give me please more specific advice? BTW: on my stock ROM, there were available HTC widgets (battery status, notes), which I can't find now at the HTC hub... What should I do to get them please?

Cannot find it = your Rom developer removed it. Ask him to make a flashable zip to add it back.
Download market enabler, go to setting, long press tmobile, press fake now. Then go market and find Skype, it should be there.

I just got my brand new SGS3 and while surfing the internet, I realized that when using google search, the recent/popular search suggestions below do not work.I can click them, but once clicked nothing happens. It's suppose to redirect me to the new search. Has anyone experienced the same thing when using google search on the SGS3?
This only occurs when I search directly form google.com. Bing and yahoo searches work fine however. The suggestions below their respective search boxes can be clicked and it redirects fine.
Probably the stock browser is at fault? It's annoying to have to type the entire search since the suggestions cannot be clicked... anyone think of why it's only google.com that has this problem?
Mine does the same but there's an arrow on the right side you can click and it fills in the search bar...still very annoying cause I always end up hitting the phrase first instead of the arrow.

That's very strange. I've never had that problem and I've used 3 different browsers including stock. If you really want to use the stock browser and you're rooted try flashing GApps on it which may fix it, or just try a different browser like Chrome.
Hey,
I have a weird problem.... Sometimes (like 2-3 times since i bought my phone in june) i search for something and then a pornpage shows up instead of the searchresults. I use chrome. Believe it or not, but i have never searched for porn or watched porn on my phone....
Anyone who can help me troubleshoot this?
PS! Please, if you cant control yourself and have to answer something stupid, then try to ignore this post.
Thanks
Could looks like network spoofing, do you trust your network provider ? I mean, are you connected to a free hotspot ?

It will be linked for the search results that you have used on your pc whilst logged into your gmail account
The tabs are linked between your chrome browser on the PC and the Chrome browser on your phone whilst logged in with your gmail account

So how can i get rid of that?
You'll never hear me complain about that!
Does an actual website show up? And if so, same one every time? Or are the search results returning porn sites?
Assuming it's an actual site. So you type in the search bar, hit "search" and the site just pops up?
Are you absolutely sure you are on Google when searching? Maybe it's a spoofed web address made to look like it that you somehow bookmarked... Or are you searching in the chrome address bar?

Doesnt have to be a suspect app could just be one that has an agreement with an ad company to make more money from the app
I had some free moving wallpapers installed for my children.
But there actually is a lot of "extras" installed and not always cleanly removed when removing the app.
I ended up wiping the phone and start fresh.
OK thanks guys for quick responses Most probably an app that's causing it. Weird that they can overrule chrome's searchresults...

Nop, you are getting search suggestion on what have you searched. That's why I have the web search history turned off: https://history.google.com/history/?hl=en&ctz=-120
you can also out-out here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ or remove the porn websites from your "interest" list
are you logged in to your google account on your PC or laptop? and is someone else using it? If so maybe chrome synced search results from pc to your phone

In my case i got the result page before "hitting enter" So it was really annoying, but it did not happen all the time.
Could be your search provider??
Is there an option to change search provider in chrome?

Search history i turned off years ago No way google is tracking me! I have also opted out.
Hello everybody. I have a rooted S3 with build XXDLIB (4.1.1 JellyBean).
For some reason my google now doesn't work properly. I can use the voice commands and I can see the cards but if i say "whats the weather like in london" or "play music" or "set an alarm for..." it always googles those commands rather than being smart about it. I've had it working before with custom roms but with this stock rom it doesn't work.
Anyone got any ideas why? Did samsung tamper with it to make its s-voice look better?
Thanks for any replies!

It also didn't show any flight cards although i googled for a flight. Then i deleted all the data & cache of the search apk and launched the app again. now it shows the card but if i ask for the height of the empire state building or some other common thing that usually works, it still just goes for the google results
same here.

I've tried VLingo, Google, several others. All have problems:
1. Terrible with matching Contact name; usally unbelievable off.
2. Many require touching the screen to advance.
Just lookting for something that works, prefereably without a data connection needed, activated by a simple long push on BT earpiece. Free not required.
Rooted, JB installed.

I've had good luck with the the built in Google voice dialer since ICS...vlingo was my go to before that. I think there is a dragon one available in the market but I haven't tried it.

I can't seem to find a clear answer, but doesn't Google Voice require having a Google Voice account with various phones listed and it automatically switches, etc? I would rather not get involved in that.
Tried Google Voice Dialer and it was terrible!
Took out all other voice dialer apps and tried the built-in JP Google Voice. I gave it ten names to dial; it got all ten wrong. Then I tried the same name five times; it got it wrong for four different guesses. It is closer to a random phone number generator than a voice dialer. But it did fine when dictating numbers, but that's not really what I want. I'll keep looking; there has to be something better than this.

I just switched off WiFi and Data and used google now. I said "call Home" and that's exactly what it displayed. Then it prompted me if I wanted to cancel, or skip ahead and call. There was also a red bar at the bottom that was progressing indicating that it would call my home number if no action indicated I wanted otherwise. Perfectly reasonable.

That's Google Voice, a different product than Google's Voice Search. Since 4.x, it has some great offline performance but it always pulls web results, as someone mentioned.
Try out Nuance / Dragon's newer app. Hopefully, that doesn't stream every word you dictate to a corporation that believes they can do whatever they want with it (like Swype's EULA).
