I read that you could change the search from bing to google? However I can't find it anywhere?
It's the only thing not making this update perfect. By the way I'm in uk and used the disconnect trick to update but only had 3 updates the last being 7.8 am I missing something?
In Internet Explorer you can change it in browser settings. To change the physical "searchbutton" to search Google instead of Bing you need to hack your phone.
How do u do it in ie there is no setting in settings?
Open IE... press the three dots on the right to the adressfield and choose "settings". At the bottom of the settingspage you have the ability to change searchengine from Bing to Google

I believe that is only on WP8 devices.
No it´s not... I´m having it on my Lumia 800 7.8 as we speak. No mods, no extra cabs... just updated via Zune

My Telus [Canada] 800 is 7.8 updated via Zune and it does not have this option. It may be because you are in Sweden... The E version of Windows 7 was required by the EU to give you the choice of web browser and this may be a similar situation.
I have the HTC Titan and live in netherlands....I dont have this option either. So frankly I think that it has to do with the phone.

I like the Pocket IE home page with its search, history, favourites.
But i dont like the way it uses live.com for its search.
So you can make a quick regedit and now it uses google.
Original Value of
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Page"

senergy, since you know how to create cab.
can you create this cab to fix the softkey calendar to switch to agenda
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
"Open"="\Windows\Calendar.exe"
This is the problem with the latest LVSW
after applying the google hack, it seems there's a problem with more than one word searching! has anyone else experience this??
From the PIE home page multiple word searchs work fine but from WML they dont, it seems WML passes the info with html tags such as %20 for spaces. Not sure how to get around that besides not using WML
oh I see! thanx for the response!

how to change back to the original settings for WML?
I dont seem to have a copy of the original settings.
If someone can go into their phones registry and tell me what the value of
HKLM/Services/Windows Live/HSAppPlugins/SearchURL
Then i will make cab to restore the settings.
Senergy,
The original value is: http://mobile.live.com/search/Results.aspx?q=
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Murad
Thanks,
Here is a cab to return WML Search to its original value.
working great!
after more than a year, it still working!
thank you very much!
Better:
http://google.com/m/search?q=%s
%s passes the string from the input field in the PIE home page, but if you follow link here, it will give a google error
try this:

New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.
"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

I uploaded the Cab here so everyone can download...even us Verizon users that got left out
This cab is for Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5.
Cheers!
If its any help this is version
Bing Mobile 5.1.2010.3290
Previous was
5.0.11249.0
Its alot quicker than the previous version and they have moved the menus to the bottom. I cant see much change.
I still prefer the old Bing/Live Search layout and configuration.
Movie times used to be so easy to browse, with the new style it does a bing search instead of getting the data from a provider. I think MS decided to cheap out. It's now basically useless in my books.

Using it on my Tmobile HD2 with Energy Rom. Working fine. I was using the previous version too and can't tell if there's any change. Wish it had a functional version of voice SMS like Microsoft TellMe.

Downloaded the latest directly from MS and installed on my Diamond/CDMA and it seems to be working fine. The one I used is a bit larger than the one a few posts up, so I've attached it for convenience.

Yeah, but isn't the Diamond WM 6.1?
I tested it on 6.1, but don't see why i won't work upwards, maybe the two are different versions indeed for different OS.
Mine worked on VGA TouchPro WM 6.1
i cant save 'gps tracking.' it remains unchecked everytime i check the settings. therefore gps is unable to locate me. this pop up always shows everytime i attempt to locate my position, "allow bing to access and store your location to improve searching and for navigation?" it doesnt matter if i chose ok or cancel because there are no change in results regardless. google maps is working fine for me so im sure its not a gps issue from my phone.
First of all i would like to thank you all because by reading your posts i've got a good impression and bought the phone and i really like it (especially WP7).
Yes, WP7, not 7.5 because i dont know how am i supposed to upgrade @ 7.5 . It tells me that it will upgrade when i will connect it to a PC. Already done that but nothint.
I've updated it but it is @ version 7.0 (7008) :|
The WiFi doesn't really work, i have a netgear router and, each time i try to connect (Right Username & Right Password) it tells me that it's impossible, why that?
The other thing is the market.. what applications will you suggest me to use?
Best Regards and Thanks.
Still not working - HELP
Wrong place to ask. Ask this in the HTC 7 Mozart "General" sub-forum.

To install any updates available you will need to download the Zune software:
http://www.zune.net/
when it is fully installed launch it, connect your phone, click settings (in the top right hand corner). Navigate to the phone settings and update. It will talk you through the update process.

The wifi in pre-mango really sucks, all-sorts of issues, you'll be happy to know that I've had these issues with it refusing to connect and refusing the correct password. The drivers included with Mango have fixed all such issues i've had and my wifi works perfectly now.

Obviously marketplace apps are personal preference. I'd recommend 'Appflow' it is a good way to find apps such as 'best mango apps' 'best live tile apps' and 'apps gone free'.
Also browse applications > all applications and swipe to the free column, the best apps are those you don't splash out on
Otherwise, try every free app and every try before you buy app you can.
Hope this helps.
Nokia released today it's Network Setup app....
Maybe it opens up some possibilities to develop a InterOP unlock...
Zune Link

i've a free-sim Nokia lumia 800. In the spanish version of w.marketplace, the Nokia Network app it isn't available too.
i can see the network settings app in zune but it has no install button so cannot install it won't get further. no simlock & device factory default, no mods no apps. i think nokia removed the app right away.

And how would you do that?? If I check with my Zune link on my phone, it says that it isn't available. Don't get me wrong, I want that it is available, but it isn't unfortunately
not possible, app shows in zune marketplace once you click but the install button is not there. hence it cannot be installed.
Did someone try xap. Version ? I think I heard that it doesn't work anyway but I'm not sure...
EDIT : It doesn't work sadly...Need interop unlock for the xap...

By the information from the NOKIA UK, "Ensure you have updated the latest PR1.01 phone SW via Zune. To find out this: Go to Settings > About > More Information > Firmware revision number, if last 5 digits is 11414 then it’s PR1.0, if it’s 11451 then it’s PR1.01"
the ZUNE or program should has a protect to them,
do any one try and get the APPS NOW?

Some people don't know about this option thus missing a few stock backgrounds. I thought it was worth mentioning.

Yes, there are some pretty nice photos in there But I don't see any way to upload/share them. If you know of any other way, let me know
I don't think you can extract those photos in any way. They are probably "baked" into the system. There are no options at all when longpressing those photos or the album. It can't even be browsed/seen other than when changing the lockscreen wallpaper.
