Opening Keyboard = Search? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

before, when i opened the keyboard, it would automatically pull up the search function. Its not longer doing it now, just displaying the home screen ... what did i do?

I've never been able to bring up search by opening the keyboard, but if you start typing then the search will start up.

I'm thinking when opening up the keyboard you hit the search button, therefore opening up search. Don't think it would just open automatically when opening keyboard

Yeah, or he's on the homescreen when opening the keyboard and accidentally pressing keys.

No, even starting to type on the keyboard doesn't give the search option anymore. It used to work just by opeing the keyboard, I swear.

Troubleshooting Menu Bar on Home Screen

Anybody ever have problems with the menu bar on the home screen? My phone will not let me open the menu which would allow me to see all the apps on my phone. My daughter somehow managed to put one of her game apps icon where the menu button goes on the home screen. I'm running android 2.2 using cyanoginger 1.1, I've never had any problems except this one. Anyone have any solutions or suggestions? I made a youtube video but I can't post the link here just yet, the site says I need more post replys. If you go to youtube and type in "troubleshooting mytouch 3g slide" it should pop out. Thanks a bunch fir any help!

I'm asuming you talking about the button that opens the app drawer. All u need to do is touch and hold an empty space on ur homescreen, launcher actions, then open drawer, then drag that icon to the place where the game icon is. Hopefully that was clear enough

I did what u said but after I touch an empty space on my homescreen no where does it say "launcher actions." It just says widget, wallpapers, shortcut, and folders. Am I suppose to choose one of these options?

its press and hold open space, short cut, launcher activities, open app draw, when it creates it on the desktop drag it onto where the game button is
This happened to me right after I rooted and scared the crap out of me... But a google search lead me to the answer

For some odd reason I don't have the option "launcher activities" after I choose shortcut. Did I forget to install something after I flashed the ROM?
Edit: Never mind guys I found it. It was under the "custom shortcut" deal. I feel like such a nooob!! Thanks for all the help, appreciate it!

Remap the Search button?

I never use it, I use the widget. It would be cool if I could remap it to open up another app. Would changes need to be made to the code?
I use it to lock my screen.

Depends what rom your using. On CM7 I have it set to longpress for camera, and single press for new message.

Take a look at Launch Key from Beansoft. Under a buck in the market and does exactly what you are looking for.
I map it to my camera and have used it on many ROMs without a single issue in over 3 months.
I also use the app Manitook suggested. You can download it free here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818499

there is an app called button shortcut that can change the long hold on the seaarch key to any app

how to clipboard from swype keyboard?

I know if you long press the mic button on the Samsung keyboard, you can select the clipboard from the pop up thing. is there a way to access the clipboard from the Swype keyboard?? maybe a Swype-key shortcut?
thanks

Swype from the Swype key to c to copy and to v to paste, to a to select all, to backspace to put away the keyboard, to t to get number keyboard and to the symbol key to get editing keyboard

thanks... I knew about those, most of those, but no way to bring up the clipboard like on the Samsung keyboard?

I forgot about Swype-T That's a handy shortcut, thanks!
Another nice one: When the cursor is in a word, Swype-shift gives you capitalisation options.
I've definitely brought up the clipboard a few times accidentally when using Swype, I think when going from the Swype key. I dunno if it's a bug or 'undocumented feature'. Either way, I just wish I could choose when it appeared!

Why does google voice activate when typing on keyboard??

Hey,
I am using cm10 and I have google voice off..but whenever I am typing fast on the keyboard sometime google voice turns on by itself and my keyboard goes away..??
Does someone know how that happens or how to fix/avoid it?
Hmmmm. Maybe a bug? I have several languages on my keyboard and if I hold the world button it gives me an option to choose Google voice.

I always hit the microphone button beside the keyboard by accident while typing. You're probably doing the same.

Open Google search from the headphones mic instead of svoice?

When the screen is off and I long press the bottom button it opens up svoice. I would rather it open Google search. I tried freezing svoice in titanium but then just nothing comes up. Suggestions?
