Was just wondering if you could do the same with the "search" botton on the phone.

No you can't. I think search button is useless I never use it.

Music search function's pretty neat!!
And yea, I switched default search on browser to Google, I think someone would have to hack around this whole Bing bypass business.

Have been looking around and could not find it (Exept embedded in some ROM)
Where could I find Windows Live (And Windows Live MEssenger stand alone) ?
Thank you
Google for it. It is there. That is how I found it.
Search for free PPC apps or software. That is how I did.

It can be found here. It's on the FTP, so no need to look too far.
I know sometimes it can be hard to find things here using the search feature, but if you search these forums using Google, it makes things a little easier.

Just bought this phone

I bought this phone on ebay a while back and i'm just wondering can anybody give me some information about the phone e.g. Best GPS program , best audio player etc .
This is my first time having a Windows Mobile phone and also my first time even having a smart phone ..
As mobile browser I got Opera mini, works great. Think you can get it from m.opera.com.
For movies use CorePlayer. Best mediaplayer IMO.
I got NoData for when I'm traveling, and don't wanna end up with a huge bill.
SMSBubbles is a tiny bit buggy but it works. It allows a popup with the incomming text to appear on your screen, so you can read what the text says without having to navigate.
McGuider: great navigation; make sure you get the smartphone version
If you intend to use your own headphones to listen to music; use this here. There's a coupon; SH5OFF which will give you 5% off everything. Free shipping worldwide.
For the software I suggest you use the search button to get the most recent versions.
Good luck
thanks great reply !
I checked out McGuider earlier but didnt see this phone in the list of compatible devices ?
you just try to go to ---> http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilities/cabinstl.shtml there you can find many free applications that are compatible for your device
Can anyone tell me does Google Maps have a sat nav feature or is it just like basic maps?

[Q] Where is voice talk?

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...

Google voice

I really need some help with this. I'm partially sighted and so when I saw a video of the truesmart using google voice to search for things I knew this would be the smartwatch for me.
The problem is when I use it it only opens the browser. It doesn't actually search. Also, when I do simple tasks like "calculator" it just opens the browser.
What am I doing wrong?

It's not Google Voice that you are needing. You need to install Google Search. When you do... open it and it will have you sign in. Install the widget on your home screen and you can you voice to activate it and do searches.
The watch has a problem reading the answers though.... as is documented in another couple of threads... unfortunately.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your reply.
I tried that dragon search app that Omate mentioned was coming out on the Omate but it doesn't work. I then tried Utter and that works brilliantly.
Speaktoit Assistant
I loaded up Speaktoit Assistant and worked ok, but too much of a delay for a reply then Google Search. I can live without the witty interaction I guess?

Stock S9+ with Google Assistant instead of Bixby

Hi guys,
Recently I bought an S9+ and so far I'm loving it. The only issue I have is with this stupid Bixby who can't do anything beside telling me jokes and making reminders.
So, I've been looking far and wide on how to replace, not just disable, Bixby. The post on debloating is great, but it won't let me have Google Assistant answer when I press the Bixby button.
In conclusion, is there a guide on how to replace Bixby with GA at all? Or at least a modified ROM, because even if I like the stock version of Android (Had a moto Z3 before), I got used to the Samsung Experience.
Thank you!
i deactivated it with package disabler and remapped the button with bxactions

You can use a different launcher such as rootless pixel launcher or Nova to get the feed on the left, but not sure you can set it to Google feed if you're just using Samsung experience (I may be wrong)

Well I can cherry pick that article too, "And what they have been working on looks impressive enough that it could lift Bixby out of obscurity and give*Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft*a run for their money. It also uses artificial intelligence to write algorithms capable of performing far more complex tasks, such as booking hotel rooms or buying flowers, all from commands that users speak into their phone, their fridge, their TV or any other of the 1 billion Samsung devices that by next year will be running Bixby. But it's not always the first to market that is the ultimate winner,"

Could. Yep. And it could somehow cause aliens to come down and murder us all. But that's hardly a reason to suggest that Bixby is a worthy competitor NOW, which is what you're doing.
