General :: Google Searches Phone By First Letter Only?

Dec 29, 2013

I have an HTC One running CM 10.2 (which is essentially Android 4.3)

I recently noticed some annoying behavior: I wanted to find the AT&T app on my phone, so I typed the letters "at" into the home screen search bar. No apps appeared. I was surprised, so I searched through the app drawer and found the app that I needed. It's name is "myAT&T". I then discovered that if I type the letters "my" into the home screen search bar, the app will appear. The bottom line is that the Android search bar only searches for apps, contacts, etc., by the first letter. I also noticed the same behavior in the browser with regard to bookmarks.

General :: Google Searches On Home PC Shows Up On Phone?

Aug 17, 2012

I type in "ducks without feathers" on my work or home pc and that same search shows up on my galaxy s3 a little while later. Im connected to a wireless network on both and signed in to google on all 3. Is this why? Does it work the opposite where things written on the phone show up on the computers? I find this invasive if i want to search something in private but it shows on my work pc?

General :: Google Search No Longer Searches Phone By Default

Jan 6, 2013

I have a number of applications on my phone that are just search plugins. (Searchify, for example.) At some point before 4.2, they "stopped working". I've come to discover that they still work fine if, after doing an initial search and pressing enter or selecting a suggestion, you scroll the bottom bar all the way to the right and select "Phone".

To preempt some questions: the initial screen's suggestions do include applications I can run, just not searching "inside" applications. I have verified that the applications I want to search inside are enabled in the search settings. I have disabled Google Now, but I've tried reenabling it, with no improvement in results.

General :: How To Sync Google Searches

Jan 16, 2013

I want to be able to sync Google searches done on my laptop to my phone. So if I search for best places to eat in Washington DC with my laptop using chrome, I want it to appear in the recent search results history when I open the Google search app. Is this possible?

Right now, when I open the Google search app it only shows the history of searches done on my phone. I have gone into the settings of search and selected show recent search history, but it still only shows searches done from my phone.

I have a verizon galaxy s3 running jellybean 4.1.

General :: Google Chrome Always Saves Searches - Cannot Turn It Off?

Oct 6, 2013

I am trying to stop Google Chrome from saving my searches. I have already done the following:

1. On Google home page, click "Settings-->Search settings".

2. Towards the bottom of the page, click "search history".

3. Click "Turn Web History off".

Now, when I search on my desktop, the searches are not saved. However, if I do a Google search from my phone through Google Chrome, the search will be saved. The search will not be saved if I do the search through the stock browser. I don't know how to stop this from happening. Is it something to do with Google Now maybe?

I am using a HTC Butterfly S 901s, running Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5.

HTC EVO 4G :: Sprint Navigation Not Working With Google Searches

Jun 10, 2010

This phone has a great feature that i wish I had on my Pre. After searching for something in google it allows you to search for it with Sprint Navigation. Problem is that when I hit Sprint Nav it says the destination is "null" and I still have to manually type it all out which sucks for driving. In "maps" the destination address is already filled in. Is there a way to fix this or a setting needed to have the address input automatically in sprint nav?

Samsung Moment :: Can't Type An Accented Letter On Phone

Mar 3, 2010

If you press and hold a letter on the Moment, it should pop up a menu of alternate symbols or letters This works on the Hero. Someone claimed it worked on their Moment, but the two I've tried (one at Sprint, one at Best Buy) do not do it. I have searched through the settings menus and the owner's manual and have not found a way to enable this feature. Any suggestions? This is a deal-breaker as I need to be able to type both English and French. I need it to work both on-screen and with hardware keyboard.

Android :: Why Eclipse Does Not See Samsung Galaxy Phone Although Can Transfer Files Using A Drive Letter

Oct 11, 2010

I developed my first (small) Andoid application using Eclipse and are now ready to transfer it to my Galaxy S mobile device (develping for Android 2.1)

Following another thread in SE, I changed the run mode in Eclipse to manual in the hope that I would be able to chose my phone and/or AVD every time I run the program.

The popup list howerver only show the AVD, my phone is not present in the list.

So obviously, my Samsung Galaxy S device is not recognized. Howerver, I can transfer to and from the device using a drive letter, so the USB connection is working properly.

Anyone any idea what I am missing here ? I'm not sure if it is an Eclipse problem , or a driver or ....

General :: Contacts In Phonebook Listed Under Wrong Alphabetic Index Letter?

Aug 11, 2011

Today I synced all my contacts from my gmail account to my Android phone which worked without problems. After the import was done, I looked through my contacts on my phone and noticed that the contacts are listed alphabetically, under an index letter:

Just an example:
Jane Doe
James Brown
Julie Smith

All those are listed under the index letter "J", which is fine, but then the first contact under each index letter is listed under the previous index letter. In the example above, Jane Doe (which is the first contact that falls under the index letter "J" was NOT listed under "J", but it was under "I", which is the letter that comes before "J" in the alphabet.

And this seems to be the case in the whole phone book.

I tried several things, such as deleting the entire phone book, re-syncing the contacts from gmail and so on, but it keeps on happening again.

it the way Android saves/lists the contacts in its phone book?

Android :: Can't Edit Previous Searches / Fix It

Aug 18, 2010

Android maintains search histories for the Google search widget, market, etc.
but you can't EDIT past searches.

You can't do variations of previous searches by changing or adding a word to the past search.

You can't correct a typo in a previous search..

The only option is to re-type the entire thing, while the phone displays the previous search with the wrong character, but not letting you fix it..

Personally, this is one of the most frustrating things about Android.

Google is all about searching, but they certainly got it wrong with Android's built-in search..

Android :: Edit Past Market Searches?

Jun 25, 2010

Type some long market search, and misspell it, search fails. Now, there it sits in the history, with ONE letter bad, but you can only do the same, incorrect search again by tapping it.Am I missing something, or is it true that I have to enter the whole thing over again if I miss one letter. Same applies to variations on searches, such as "red truckload of elephants" and "blue truckload of elephants" No way to go back and just change red to blue.
