I just received my mt3gs and thought I'd try it "as is" for a few days before rooting it. One thing that I've used heavily on every other Android phone (G1, Droid, EVO) is the voice search icon. That is missing on the mt3gs - is there any way to get it on there? I love being able to hit one icon, then say something like "navigate to starbucks". I tried that with the "Genius Button" and it just plain didn't work. The voice search icon is also missing from the search widget (though it shows up once you click on it to enter text.)
go into the widget menu. select widgets and select the 2nd search widget.
right now you have the HTC search.

Thanks, that solved half my problem! (I guess I didn't scroll down far enough to see the 2nd search widget.) I still like to have just the voice icon on my default home screen since that takes up less space - hopefully someone knows how to add that.
Well, I solved the problem by rooting and installing SlideM!!!
Sorry if this is not worth creating a thread.. But I am wondering what you guys use for your 3 buttons you get to assign anything to do for suggestions for myself.. I can't seem to think of any good ideas, I'm sure some of you have some pretty good ideas to help me.. Thanks a lot
1: Twidroyd Pro new tweet popup activity
2: Messaging
3: Launcher Pro.. w/ home button set to show notifications within LP. So home then notifs
I haven't even bothered to assign them to anything. Would probably be more efficient to just keep shortcuts on the home screen. I mean you get 4x4 apps per page with 7 pages that's 112 shortcuts. I don't really see the need to assign 3 buttons more.

I use them for the 3 things I use the keyboard for most: Messaging, Google Voice, and Talk. Once everyone starts using my GV number I'll probably replace messaging with Gmail. But I figure while I have the keyboard out those are the apps i'm most likely to be using, so I made them the shortcuts.
I like the feature about handwriting mode on the S-Planner. But as soon as I turn it off, it will disappear. Which is not very useful. Does anyone know how to keep the handwriting note stay on all the time and have it shown on the widget on the home page. Thanks
I am also looking for the answer of this question....
Can someone help me with how you might sync a task recorded using the s pen in action memo with remember the milk? where do tasks / to dos get recorded from action memos?
I use both MS Exchange and Remember the Milk for tasks, however I can't work out how tasks created in action memo sync to these systems.
thanks!
I share mine with EverNote, but it probably works the same, so when you are in the action note You can tap on the list looking icon at the upper right to open your action notes. Use the menu button to bring up a ''share" option. Select one or more notes to share then done and a list of apps to share with appears. Just pick one, and that's it.

thanks, appreciate the info. it looks like the tasks created under action memo are being sent to "My Tasks" (default task location), not my MS Exchange task list. What I am trying to work out is how to change the default from "My Tasks" to another task list, whether Exchange or gmail.
I was browsing for 2 days now and still cant find the answer, is there anyway that i can assign a shortcut for a specific option on my phone settings?
Like lets say, i have this RECTANGLE and when i tap it i want it to open WIFI settings, i was thinking of just installing a 3rd party app that allow shortcut but i couldnt find any i tried "settings shortcut" from google play but when i go to zooper and assign shortcut i cant even find the app on zooper shortcut lists?
Thanks a lot guys.

My Zopper companion app (ZW Utilities) supports enable/disable toggles for Wifi, Data, Bluetooth and Flashlight, if that's what you are looking for. If you just want to open the Settings page for Wifi, you should be able to do that by opening the OnTap action dialog, swipe two times to the right to the "Shortcuts" page, scroll down until you see the "Settings shortcut" option. Tap that and you can select the settings sub page you want to open with a tap on the Zooper module.
Hope this helps you out and happy theming
what i wanted to do is just a simple task, like when i tap on that particular object it opens the WIFI settings, im sorry but i really cant find "Settings shortcut" im using galaxy s5

I don't have any experience with the new Samsung devices, sorry. Might be that they don't have this feature in their system. Maybe another Samsung user can help you then.
oh gawd anyway thanks for your help mate

You COULD use Tasker to get the job done. You can literally hard code it to toggle on/off Wifi. Then, when you're done configuring Tasker, hop over to your Zooper widget and just point it to the Tasker profile you just made. Should allow you to toggle when you click on whatever object you place in Zooper. You can also do the same for data toggles, images, etc.
EDIT: I actually forgot that they integrated this. Configure your rectangle then click Module OnTap, scroll two screens over to the right, click "Settings Shortcut" and then chose Wi-Fi. Then back out to your widget, let it update and then click on the rectangle. It SHOULD take you to your Wi-Fi settings page. Hope this helps. :0)

Hm. You are right. Odd. Give me a few days to do some research, and I'll try get back to you with some sort of workaround.

Looks like we may have a solution: http://www.jagwar.de/en/zooper-wifi-toggle/
hi thanks for your research i really do appreciate that however base on my understanding it just creates a toggle where it enable / disable the wifi, what i was trying to do is open a wifi settings.. im not sure if i can do that with tasker.. im really terrible at programming
i will do my own research too, again i appreciate your time
thanks a lot
Oh, I see. Let me continue poking around and see what I can come up with. Unfortunately for you, I don't think it can be done on your phone, seeing as you're missing a vital element to make it work...

yeah its such a shame that a new flagship that is supposed to be more powerful doesnt have this feature.. oh well i hope i can find a work around.
thanks a lot
To use Tasker:
Create a new task;
Enter a name for the task then click the check mark;
From the task edit page click the + at the bottom;
From the select action category list click settings;
Scroll to the bottom of the list then click WIFI settings;
You don't need to make any changes in the action edit page so go back to the task edit page;
Since your going to use the task as a shortcut you need to assign it an icon so click the icon on the bottom right corner (it looks like an app drawer icon);
Select an icon (it doesn't really matter which icon because for your purposes the icon will not display);
Then use the back button to completely back out of Tasker (this will automatically save the task).
From there just setup up your widget to launch a shortcut the task you just created.

Hey there, although your request can be managed by Tasker, I feel like you want a quicker/easier alternative. Coding can wait another day.
Download this app from the play store link then enter the OnTap property of your chosen Zooper widget module > Swipe once to the right > Select Wifi Settings from the apps list.
And you're done. Just tap on the module after a minute to let it refresh and you're set.
The free app is under 18kb so hardly resource intensive and more than makes up for the surprising lack of Settings shortcuts on your S5. (Seriously, my Note 2 has these basic shortcuts as does most stock/custom roms. I wonder why it didn't make it to the S5).
I have been equally frustrated by a similar situation. I want a widget that automatically takes me to the battery status.
I had built one before but was being thwarted by the lack of access to this setting. I thought I was crazy in not finding the settings be available. I dont really need a toggle for the wifi, but is there a suggestion for the battery settings?
i suppose I will play around with Tasker to see if I can figure something out, now that I know I am not crazy.
i may have found a quicker solution via a third party...
- install 'anycut' from the play store (icon ooks like a mushroom house)
- when setting up the 'on tap' part, point to 'any cut' under 'shortcuts' and let your mind be blown by the myriad of shortcuts provided, including the elusive wi-fi settings
enjoy
