I have a problem in recent days.when I searched a phrase in chrome address bar or in google search app, the page was automatically redirected to google china home page. When I connected to a vpn, everything was ok. So I try to add .hk manually after
google.com, it was ok again.
Well, anyone can tell me how to change default search domain from google.com to google.com.hk?

When I use the Google Search app, I just want to type a few letters and find whatever app/contact/etc I want to find. I hate having the history shown every time I search for something. Is there anyway to disable it completely?
I want to know this this also

Go to the Market and get an app called HistoryEraser. Cleans up a lot of other cached stuff too.
Disable google search history online
I occasionally clear and turn off or on my search history in my google settings. This can be done through mobile device's browser, or on PC. Launch browser and log onto your google (you can start through gmail, for example) account through any PC browser. Go to your google settings and clear all or whatever search history you want, and you can set history to "off" if you want. When you launch your browser on any other device PC, phone, whatever) log onto google account again immediately and you should see that your browsing with same history settings continues regardless of device used, until you specify new change.
Final detail: After setting your account preferences for history I'm not sure how this would work in non-stock browser if you're not logged onto your google account.
Hi there XDA
This morning I created a new Google Account as I did a 'Factory Data Reset' and I didn't want application to be restored. After setting up and signing in to my Google Account on my device I went into Latitude. I noticed that my Location Reporting was set to hidden. No matter what I do its not possible to get my Latitude to share my position. I click 'Automatically Update My Position' it says saving then goes back to Latitude and shows that my Location is STILL hidden and won't update. I have a few friends in Latitude so I know that's not the problem, I just don't know where to go from here and I hope you at XDA can help, many thanks.

Running 3.5 Bliss Beta V7.
My google searches are redirecting me to UK sites. My location settings look to be correct. The google homepage is www.google.com, so the domain is correct. Yet, when I search for anything, only UK sites show. Also, monetary values show as British pounds instead of US dollars. Any suggestions? I've tried to wipe cookies,temp files ect.
Also, I am unable to update my location settings within google. It shows the correct location but I tried to manually change it and it would not update. If I don't use the mobile version of Google, my searches seem to be fine.
Fixed it. Had to change language setting in languages/keyboard

Anyone who use Chrome to Phone have issues getting Google Maps sent from laptop to open with the Maps app on my phone
Anytime I send it from my laptop it wants to open the directions in a browser
I cant remember when I used it last but I used to be able to open the links directly in my Maps app
It could have been when had the HTC Desire and not my Galaxy Nexus
clear defaults in browser/maps and try again? might have accidentally selected the browser as the default app for Maps links.
and clear cache and data for Chrome to Phone too. i just tried it and it automatically opens maps for me, doesnt even give me the option to pic browser.

I cleared default settings in the original Nexus browser but when I send links from Maps on my laptop it still just prompts me to choose which browser I want to open the link with
I dont get to choose Maps, just get to choose one of my 4 browsers
I have just noted that if I try and send directions from maps.google.ie on my laptop it will only open in a browser. If I send directions from maps.google.com then I can open them in Google Maps
Ok I know to clear data from an app such as Google maps it should be Settings > Apps > Maps > Clear data but this just doesn't clear my Google maps search history.
It's very annoying I have 6 searched places in my search that I just can't get rid of. I have even re-flashed fresh my ROM being Android Revolution HD and the search history from previous is still there.
Has anyone come across this or know of a solution?
Log in to google maps on your computer with the same account on your phone.
Click on my places and it should come up with a list of where you searched. Click on the little arrow next to the place and then hit delete.
Once your done go into settings and sync your google account on your phone and it will get rid of the places.
Hope it helps

Hi thanks but I logged into my Google maps from the same account from a desktop and none of the places in my Google maps search history were showing. All the same I deleted my history from Google maps from my desktop and synchronized but the history is still showing on my HTC One X.
I now have disabled Google search from my desktop and synchronized again and still the same history is showing on my HTC One X.
Its as if the search history is permanent on my HTC One X.
Would there be any specific file on my HTC One X that I could possibly delete with say root explorer where it could be remembering maps search history from???

It worked for me. I dont use google desktop.
The only other thing i can suggest is that you download history eraser and try to clear it that way.

I just tried with history eraser even that didn't work hmmm.
Something I notice is when logged into Google maps on a desktop in the search bar I can see these searches when clicking on the grey arrow on the right but going into delete history and clearing all doesn't get rid of them maybe this is a Google bug? I have also cleaned my desktop browser's with Ccleaner but these searches are still there in Google maps.
Edit: Just further to say I have tried Chrome in Incognito mode and the searches still appear so this can't be a browser cache or cookies issue. Really not sure how to resolve this....

Sorry im out of ideas. Maybe contact google if they can help.
It was Google - after clearing history from desktop it appears to take time before everything is erased even after syncing from phone.
Now those pesky searches that I couldn't get rid of have magically disappeared
Nice one
