I have been spending tooooo many hours searching th forums to find the ways I want to customize my new phone. One thing I came across was a thread heading labeled something like:
"start wifi and launch opera at same time"
For the life of me I can not find this thread now... and yup, I did search the site.
Does any body know where this is, or know how to do it?
Thanks

Am I the only one having a lot more trouble with search since the change to the forums?
I've just done a search via advanced and keep getting results which have only ONE of my keywords.
I've tried using AND between the search terms, but it's still giving me the same result. There seems to be no option to 'match all words".
Please don't tell me that we can't do multi-keyword searches anymore?
This is being discussed on the moderators forum also: the search function only searches when the search terms have 4 chars or more. The forum admin tried to change the setting to something lower, so we'll be able to search things like "new rom", but it seems that vBulletin is ignoring the settings and the issue is being investigated... we'll try to have a "better" search as soon as it is "technically" possible
Cool - I'll see if I cant frame my search to use terms longer than 4 letters.
Thanks for the reply
There is also one other problem, when a post gets deleted then search will still find it however the user will not see the post (as it was deleted).
This to is being looked at.
Hey everyone, there are a couple of great places to look for help on the Dash/Excalibur. And i've created this thread just to show people where some other problems have been solved.
First, go to the htcwiki, which has a 30 page long FAQ and hacks which fixes almost every problem with the dash, and brings it to it's real potential.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/The+Dash+FAQ
Second, go to http://surrealnetworks.com/mpx/DashApps.htm to download some freeware applications that everyone else has. Make sure you application unlock and throw the new .net cf 2.0 just to make sure everything compatible.
This are some basic dash things everyone will know. Using these places and the xda forum's great job of finding assistance, we can make the dash awsome
not sure if you want others posting but I got a few pages...
Same site as one you posted but different page,
http://www.surrealnetworks.com/mpx/SDARegEdits.htm
and..
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?postid=8109625
For SDA but some work for Dash..
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=858861
of course people can post here, i just want people to get the right help.
Sometimes surrealnetworks is down. If so try the above addy's but use surrealnetworks.net instead of .com
you're right, one of them should work at all times
just making sure...
QUsers has tons of homescreens and most software that will run on the q will run on the dash so i look there from time to time.
http://www.qusers.com/forum/
At Howard Forums there are three forums to watch. HTC Forum, General Smartphone Forum and TMobile/Windows Mobile Forum.
Modaco Forums cover some good apps in their customization forum.
By far the most important thing to do is read the whole faq at htc, then start reading the forums. Using the faq and surreal networks get the phone app unlocked and slowly start adding programs that you think you need. Take your time and use one for a few days before adding another. This way you know if that prog is conflicting with anything on the phone.
Is it working? mine doesn't return any results.
mine neither!
Its defo broke!
yep, no more searching here either...
I think I broke it, I did a search for "install Vista on Pocket PC" then it stopped working...
Not to worry I found what I was looking for.
Thanks.
yep, very few results when searching. not very useful that way :-/
Any prevision when it will be fixed??
Yes, I just did a search and it only returned results going back to Feb. 11. It is a topic that has definitely been discussed prior to that. Guess I'll wait and hope it gets fixed.

i sent this to the feedback form on the site many moons ago, but apparently nobody has taken notice.
Has anyone else noticed this??
If you are not logged in,
The quick search (click search so the box comes up with "show threads", "show posts", and advanced search options) is pointless.
If you try top search with it, you will alwasy receive an error. Because you have to answer the no spam question via the advanced search page. Whats the point of having the quick search in this case?
I propose the admin either gets rid of quick search (have it go right to advanced search), OR add a box in the quick search for the spam question .. for guests that aren't logged in.
I know it has frustrated me more than once!!
thanks for listening
Hi Guys,
We switched the search function on 12-02 as posted in news.
Could you give me some feedback on if this improved the search or not?
Concerning the nospam issue it should only be an issue for unregistered or not logged in users, if you have problems as a logged in user please let me know asap.
Greetz,
Flar
as just posted in the thread in news: search has been switched back too fulltext boolean which is what we we're using before, we're looking into other alternatives..
Greetz,
Flar
Ahh, great, thkx a lot for fixing it
Thanks for switching it back. It's much easier to find things again.
Ditto to the two opinions above me.
My opinion on other search options:
I frequently also use google site search to find posts on XDA.... I find it works very well for me (so well I have set up a keyword shortcut in firefox. All I hvae to do is type "xda " and the terms i am looking for in the address bar, and hit enter.)
this is what i used to type into the google box when I did it manually:
site:forum.xda-developers.com the keywords your looking for
This is especially true when I am looking for terms less than 3 characters, the normal search won't work.
Maybe you guys should consider offering direct access to a google site search in addition to the boolean?
(( An example is how Webmasterworld does it. They go two steps further with a yahoo and MSN. In fact, 3rd party is their only search system:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/searchform.cgi
))
well the forum search was working good for me yesterday..and today all i get is the Google search "Search XDA-Developers using Google" choice.. i like the older forum search..
am i doing something wrong?
ha! I thought they would use my suggestion in addition to, and not in place of, the normal search.
But just to confirm w/ the poster above me .. yes it seems that is the only search option now, your not doing anything wrong.
I dont mind using google search, in general it can find topics on here pretty good, but it has limitations.
For example, if the site search is turned off, you cant search individual threads. Some threads on here get VERY big, and without the "search this thread" function there are going to be plenty of questions asked and answered multiple times in each thread, which leads to annoyed people saying the question has already been answered, etc.
With that said, I really do hope the site search does come back for this reason.
i concur for the same reasons. +1 vote for that
so, I recently posted a thread that Im probably going to delete. how to import opera mobile 10's bookmarks into clear text and use em with showacos opera panel. That got me thinking though. In the what, 5-6 months we have had titanium, look at how far its come! whats been accomplished! Im thinking, why a seperate panel for each browsers bookmarks? with the ability to be able to scroll down in a single page in a panel now, why not one panel where each page is a different browser with its bookmarks? Most of the browsers we already know how to extract the bookmarks from. There are plenty of morts and pages out there that do similar things. Why not?
wishin I had the know how to do this, I humbly pitched this to a couple guys who can probably help a lot with this but, already have a lot on their plates. They said they would look in on this thread and help/support when they can. So Im hoping someone with more skills than I gets interested in this as well. I know we have some more work to do on opera 10 and probably others for their bookmarks but, Im sure it wont be long before one of us, or you rather, brilliant guys out there finds the way to accomplish them. Im doin all the research I can and still asking guys who I think might be interested and can help. so tell me what you all think and lets see if we cant get this panel developed.
wow
so maybe i dream too big?
im sure this has proably been asked before. but i have the HTC Tilt 2 from AT&T and says i have a new message when i dont. i have tried deleting all the messages in my sent, deleted, inbox, and drafts but touch flow still says there is one at the bottom. i also dont have a notice for one. how do i fix this?
I have a touch pro 2 and I have the same issue. I tried calling HTC and they said to shut the phone, have someone text me an amount of times equal to what the number of text messages it says I have is, then wait 5 minutes and turn the phone on. That didn't work. I need to get around to waiting on hold 15 minutes to ask them again. :/
ive had this issue before and there is a fix for it...
1) unzip the attached file to your storage card
2) run the exe file
3) restart your phone
let me know if you guys need more help, but that should do it. it always works for me.
Worked. Thanks. Now to figure out why Visual Voicemail isn't working and how to fix that 1 hour 2 minute thing on the clock.
This sms issue has been discussed in at least 50 different threads on here. There is no way you guys used the search feature to solve your issue. The last thing this forum needed was YET another thread about this
If you don't know how to use the search feature (which if you look at the top of nearly EVERY page here on XDA you'll see the "search box" so I really don't know how you couldn't) that's built into the forums, in google do something like search "sms count problem XDA" and I bet you'll come up with threads that have the fix in it...
common sense goes a long way.
Regardless... glad you found your solution
If you want to turn this thread into condescending posts, I can post screenshots of Firefox's history from the last 2 days using the search feature for a handful of other things. Convenience goes a long way. Searching isn't the most simple thing. Things have to be worded correctly, versions have to match.
thanks puff601 the programs worked like a charm. and Aaron yesterday before i made this thread i did use the search function and i got so many pages that it would take me hours to look through. i looked through the first ten and found nothing pertaining to my issue.

Not meaning to be condisending at all... the reality is like I said.. searching isn't hard, might take you a bit but compared to what? Making a post and then waiting for someone to search for you and post the fix that's been discussed a million times? How dare users on here call people out on that!!!!
If you do a search, even just in this sub forum you'll probably find 20 threads started by people who have less then 10 posts asking about the exact same thing... The other day I looked and at the top of the post's there were 2 threads about this... this one and another one right under it. Come on! Just for kicks I punched in what I recommened above by searching in google the "sms count problem XDA" and low and behold the third link down was a link to a touch pro 2 sms problem... the first link showed what you had to look for, the "fixunreadcount" program, as did the 3rd link. Now, am I claiming to be a genious because when I had this issue way way back I did just that and came up with the answer almost right away? No, but the fact is I looked and found it.. Luck? Maybe... but before I post anything I look and look... or if anything say I loaded on a custom rom and had the issue I would post in that thread asking if anyone had the same issue. I'm sure someone would ring in!
Google Result for sms count problem XDA
You're right.. searching isn't the most convenient thing... Especially when you don't know how to search properly I'm sure that can be a real pain in the butt.
Regardless you got your fix one way or another and that's all that matters as I'm sure it annoyed you beyond belief... maybe this post will stay at the top of the charts for a while so other people who have the issue can find it right away and not have to use the search feature...
better yet a mod should just start a new sticky thread with fixes and known issues with the phones..... Update it every few weeks and it would make the forum a lot cleaner place.

You just don't get it. There's a difference between human interaction and the strict wording requirements of the search function. You seem to be so dead set on proving why a certain method works so well that you fail to understand the human interaction aspect of a forum.
