Windows Mobile Live Search on Today

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to redirect the WM Live Search bar on the today screen to search using Google or any other site OTHER than the WM Live search.
Would the require a registry edit...?
Thought it would be more handy for me to use a different search engine on the today screen other than the WM Live one. Sorry if this has been posted up already but I searched and had no luck.
I'm using Faria's Custom V1 Rom with WM6 by the way.
Thank you in advance!

As in its not possible, too difficult, or I'm going to get attacked by a ridiculous number of forum members for not searching?

Argh.. sorry didn't see that one coming. Sorry everyone my fault!

HTCustom 1.4 also has a check box for this under the UI tab.

Man, you got off lucky.

lol sure did, we must all be in a good mood today. I'm not one for flamming, as I've been a stupid noob before, and sadly searching isn't an ingrained behavior in this generation. I know my kids are going to be googling before they can even speak, but that's not the case atm.

Try my change which is also listed in that wiki entry. It will allow you to have spaces in the search term.

Any way to change it to YouTube?

Yahoo!
"searchURL" {http://it.search.yahoo.com/search?p=}
and Yahoo! One Search for PDA
"searchURL" {http://it.wap.yahoo.com/p/search?p=}
but there is a problem with the search of two or more words... for example if I search:
WORD1 WORD2
it seems like it searchs
WORD1%u0020WORD2
Any idea to solve it?

Can you please help? I keep getting a pop-up warning (with this and the original search string) that "There is no application associated with {search string}. Run the application first then open this file from within the application. (where Search string is as defined in reg plus text that is being searched for.
Can you help? I have tried opening this search string from within PIE and it works quite OK. But that does not solve the problem.
EDIT: I HAD SOME OTHER PROBLEMS AND DECIDED TO HARD-RESET. ISSUE SOLVED SO I GUESS I HAD SOMEHOW CORRUPTED THE REGISTRY. I SUSPECT THAT UNINSTALLING OPERA CAUSED THE PROBLEM.

TomTom freezes again

Hi to everybody,
My trinity came back repaired (in warranty), so I lost any programme. I reinstalled TomTom6 from www.htc.com, but I have frequent freezings. Can you please send me the atfix.cab (if I'm not wrong) or tell me where to download it? Thanks a lot

You opened a thread just for that...oh come on...give us a break will you?....
Search...and you'll find...
It's because of users like you that this forum is so full of trash threads...

I don't know why both of you are so nervous, I only asked help for a problem. What's so trashy in my question? I was nor unpolite, neither spamming. Sorry to disturb you! It's the first time I find such a "welcome" (so to say) in a forum. Goodbye

hey francic,
some people here are pretty anal about 'searching'. i posted a question and i got some **** as well.
i have TomTom and it freezes up every 10 min, then someone suggests to disable all the POIs. i did that and it seems to fix my freeze problem. so if you enable POIs, try disable them and it should help.

Seek and yee shall find .....

I don't usually do this as I fully agree with the others about searching before asking, but everyone deserves a break sometimes. Here you go!

1. Yes what you did was SPAM
2. If you use the search, just write atifix and you will see several threads/posts with that kind of file.
3. If everyone do the way you do, what would you think it happen.
Thousands of open threads with the same questions/requests.
At least before asking why don't you try to find it by yourself??
I know it's hard work!!
Much more easy to just ask and wait!!!
But this is just my opinion!!!

Different oppinion, he's not 100% guilty y'know.
This forum, the whole xda-developers, is a very inefficient information management/sharing tool. To sum it up, information's duplicated, scattered, isn't correctly tagged and we don't even have an efficient (built-in)basic search.
Unless something changes, this'll keep happening.
update: @mikhe69
I think that an external +10 field search form(google advanced search) that will return more than 10 results(at best) isn't acceptable.
"2. If you use the search, just write atifix and you will see several threads/posts with that kind of file."
That's the issue(I'm talking about), not the solution.
But oh well, #care 'bout this.

Well, what I call "freezing" could be actually "slowing down", I'm not sure. I didn't yet any trip in the last days, so I'll check your suggestion on the road. What I observed is a very slowed digitation in writing the target (cities). May it depend on the different location of executive programme (in the pda memory) and of maps (in the external sda)? Or on the exploited internal memory (phone contacts: may I tranfer them to sda?)?
Bye

Oh.. Thank you Stylez. I'm aware that I sure as hell should have used the search function to make things easier for the moderators, and I'm sorry that I was unable to overcome my haste. Please understand that I felt this was very urgent because none of my phones (Omnia; Wing; Dash) were picking up the computer's connection, and I didn't think the problem was my computer. I did a complete system restore, so that might have been the culprit. Anyway, things are working perfectly now, and I've finally been able to try the new Windows Live! Thank you guys. I'm glad i can always get good help here.

How to find out received SMS sender's number

Is there a way to find out from which number has an sms arrived, when more than one number is associated with the sender?

Nice question!
This happens because of microsoft: They do not understand that in other countries, unlike the United States, pepople have more that ONE mobile phone..
So they don't handle this situations.
I solve in a silly way.. But i don't have evidence that works: i simply replay to the sms.. And I see what number it uses for destination.

Ohh I see.
If it really uses the number in the reply which was used to send the sms, then it is a good workaround.
But we cannot be sure, can we?
Maybe someone has already made a simple app/plugin/whatever to find out the number or something?

I'm sure of it
It's no different from replying to an email when sender has more than one email address in your Contacts - your reply goes back to the address the sender used to send the original message. It's behaviour by design.

I was farting around the other day and came across an app that (if I recall correctly) does that. I am really sorry because I cannot remember the name of the program, but I will try to re-trace my farting around and if I come across it, I'll post back here.

Ok, thx!

[Q] Abbreviate Weather Conditions

So I've just started playing with Zooper and this is something has been an issue. With the layout I have now whenever the weather condition whenever it is thunderstorming outside (which is very often) it overlaps the word condition. So my question is: Is there any way to abbreviate thunderstorm to T-Storm?

Well that was actually easier to do than I thought. Just in case anyone else needs it here is what I did.
$#WCCOND#=thunderstorm?T-Storm:#WCCOND#$

Found this buried in a Google Search. Thank you. Any idea for how to do this for multiple codes? IE, T-Storms, Scattered T-Storms, Heavy Blizzard, etc.?

Wrong thread

Thanks! I'm digging around a bit more with Zooper. Appreciate the information!

Mokum020 said:
You just have to repeat the code for every weather condition you want to abbreviate.
I also think you don't need the last bit of the code, this should do the trick:
$#WCCOND#=thunderstorm?T-Storm$$#WCCOND#=scattered clouds?S-Clouds$

How is this code finished? I tried using what's listed and nothing displays. It needs to end by telling it to display the current condition if it's different then any of the conditions listed to abbreviate. Messing with it and can't figure out the right ending.
