[Q] Noob question about the "Search Anything" app - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I'm new to the forum, finding it after having the lag on my HTC Desire HD and turning on USB Debugging mode to fix the /init problem.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the default action on the home screen when pressing the search button from going to search anything (By HTC) to the Google Search app. I find the Google Search app faster and with more features.
Sorry if this has been asked before. Also, I'm running the stock version of Android (2.2) which came when I got this phone. I have not rooted the phone or anything.
Thanks,
Danny

Sleep Mode

Hi,
I have a question about sleep mode or whatever you want to call it. I am sure that you figured out that i am new to Android and the Desire (only had it for 4 days now).
I remember reading somewhere here but I cant find, someone asking if it were possible to bring the phone out of standby or sleep mode whatever you call it, other then pressing the power button.
I would like to know is there an app that allows this for "stock" Desires? I am not running any other types of ROMs. I am still too new to this all.
If anyone knows. I would appreciate it. Thanks for putting up with an Android & Desire Noob.
WidgetLocker can do that but it will replace ur standard lockscreen. I can recommend the app btw...
Thanks elburna I will try it out and see how I like it.

[Q] Hardware Keyboard Problems -.-

Anyone esle having this Problem?
Longer time after Booting, several Buttons on the Hardware Keyboard bring me into other apps while writing SMS for example...
The following Chracters send me directly into an app:
e -> email
s -> sms (android sms, not my standard app called "handcent")
c -> contacts
b -> browser
p -> mediaplayer
Thats kinda weird Oo I can't use my hardware keyboard to type Text, cause i jump out of my actual app all the time -.-
Whut to do ?
EDIT: Everytime after rebooting, my Keyboard works well again! But 12 hours later, i will have same problem -.-
EDIT 2 : I am running Cyanogen 7.0.3
I have the same exact problem. It's irritating! Happens about 15 or 20 minutes after rebooting.
EDIT: Currently on the CM7 nightlies. Can anyone confirm if this is just a CM7 issue or widespread?
I don't have nightly, i'm using 7.0.3 stable
Never had that in ANY Mod before
Try hitting the "search" key on the keyboard. That should "unstick" it.
I had that problem yesterday. I'll repost if it comes back up.

Ok, So this is an Hardware Bug? Or keeps the Software meaning that the button is still pressed, even when he isn't ? Oo

Hi
I also have this kind of problem on my french DZ.
I've tried almost all roms on this forum, it doesn't happen on Sense roms, only on cyanogen-like roms.
I'm actually on 7.1-RC1, I've just tried the Miui.us rom and both force me to reboot to use my physical keyboard again.
I'll try to replace the files in /system/usr/keychars and keylayout with those found on sense roms, to see if it corrects it.
Any idea/workaround I could also check ?
I'm having the same trouble now on my Desire Z with the stock rom after the update to Gingerbread 2.3.3 has been rolled out.
Any idea how to get rid of it? It really is rather irritating...! ;-)
im not sure what causes it but if you hold your Search button for about 3-4 seconds the problem will go away
It's quick launch; go into application settings and clear them all out

This is what worked for me, too...

[REQUEST] Vibrate on Call Connect

It's a feature on Sense devices, and CM ROMs, and I was hoping if someone has found an app that does this. For those who haven't used a Sense device or CM or even WM device, it basically just vibrates for a couple of milliseconds as soon as the call connects. It's useful because you can just hold it rather than wait with it in ear or leave it on a table. All my google searches have come up empty handed ):. Unless I missed something; does anybody know an app that has this function?
+1 I always had this on my SGS2, really miss it.
+1 here, i was able to get this feature by using Touchpal dialer, however, since i updated to 4.0.4, it no longer works. any other help ?
if you install Go Launcher and then in phone settings you can activate vibration. even if you don't use go dialer will vibrate when you answer. I'm not developer but i think some mod for reg could resolve the problem,
Search "CallVibrate" on the Play Store it works for me

[Q] a few questions

hello.
i've just installed Domination for HTC one X, using the following link: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unoffi...om-based-cm10/
aaaaand i have a couple of questions.
1. Trebuchet stops working. but i've only come across this issure when im in the menu, browsing thru my apps, then i reach the widget section, and it is now 30/30 times it stops working when i reach the widget page. so my question is: anyone who knows how to work out this issure or knows what curses it or anything ?
2. am i completely wrong when i say that the battery drains even faster now ? any thoughts about that ?
3. any of you guys knows if its possible to disable the volume keys on the side of the phone when its up and running (not when starting up, cuz then i cant get into the Hboot)
1. do a factory reset from bootloader.
2. usually,JB eats up more battery than ICS.
3. dont know

Loophole in Lock screen?

Hey guys pardon me if I'm the only having this problem. But you see I can unlock my OP3 without fingerprints although I had registered one.
So it is started when I have this very bad migraine. I just push the power button, and the lock screen showed up. I used the voice search because I can't type with that excruciating pain. Specifically I searched " How to relieve migraine". Then google read it for me and when it was done, I tap the home button with my unregistered finger and it takes me back to the homescreen, UNLOCKED. I have tried other question to voice search such as "who is the tallest man in the world" and google said the phone has to be unlocked first with fingerprints or PIN code. But if I ask something like remedy for pain, the google just directly search it for me and when I tap the home button using unregistered finger, in unlocked. FYI I am still running OOS 3.2.7, I am just curious if this problem still exist in the latest update. I don't see this as a feature and I'm wondering if this loophole is present in all devices. It would be nice if you guys can try and reply so that I can be sure I am not the only one.
Sorry if this question/problem had already been asked and if there is a patch please give me the link. I still have this migraine and appreciate if you guys could help.
Thanks.
Sorry I think I have selected my voice as trusted voice. This thread can be deleted. I'm such a noob.
