General :: How To Quickly Search For Contents On Android Device

Dec 11, 2012

I am new to Android, being an iOS aficionado who decided to give Android a try.

I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things. One thing, however, has me baffled: how do I quickly search for content on my device ( namely, contacts, apps, calendar entries, etc).

With iOS you merely swipes to the left of the home screen and type in the search box there what you're looking for. How do I do something similar with Android? I've tried the Google gesture search app, but it doesn't seem to bring up results very reliably.

Nexus :: Battery Light Blinking Orange To Green Quickly - Device Not Start

Jul 5, 2010

I had to remove my sim card, which means that I had to remove my battery. After doing so, I put my sim card back in, followed by the battery, and after pushing the power button, the battery indicator started flashing green and orange.

The screen isn't turning on, and absolutely nothing is happening.

I've been pouring over google trying to find a solution, but haven't found any that worked.

One suggestion suggested that I hold the power button for 10-15 seconds, then plug it into power, then add battery. This did not work.

Another suggested the opposite- hold power for 10-15 seconds, add battery, then add power cord, still no luck.

I freaking love this phone. I really, really, really want to fix it. If there are any, ANY suggestions as to what I could do to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. I tried to call HTC for support, but, wouldn't you know it, couldn't get to a phone before EXACTLY one minute before they closed.

General :: Quickly Restoring SMS From 2.3.5 Android Phone

Jan 10, 2013

I am trying to transfer about 14,000 SMS from an unrooted 2.3.5 Android to a rooted 4.2.1 Android phone.

MyBackup Pro backs them up quickly, but restores them at a rate of less than 1/second. Thus, I have been looking for another tool to back up with:

1. Titanium Backup: no, as the 2.3.5 phone is unrooted;

2. new Windows-based Ultimate Backup Tool: no, as it requires Android 4.0 or greater.

Any recommendations, other than running the restore tool all night? A tool that allowed me to back the SMS up in chronological blocks could be very useful.

General :: How To Switch Between Bluetooth Devices Quickly

Dec 5, 2010

I have a Plantronics headset, and a Sony car stereo (w/ BT). When I'm in the car, I prefer to use Bluetooth over the stereo, so I'm looking for a quicker way to swap between the two devices without having to go into settings.

Auto-switching would be preferable, but a widget that can just bring up all device so I can select which one I'd rather use, would work, too.

And everything I mean every rom's contents, busybox, scripts, etc. I once use one GB rom and it can run NFS Most Wanted very smooth, but after playing with scripts/tweaks too much, it turn out that the game lag more than before. So, I want to completely wipe everything and start over. Does the "Full Wipe" (Wipe data/factory reset+Wipe Cache+Wipe Dalvik cache+Format system+data+cache) do the job? Or maybe there is something more?

Android :: Search Context With Type To Search?

May 1, 2009

When implementing search in my application, I'm including some search context info depending on the activity where search is invoked. In one of those, I'd like to implement type-to-search as well, but the standard method of adding search context info doesn't work in that case... the onSearchRequested() method in the activity is never called. Is there any way to include search context info in a type-to-search invocation, or am I stuck with only the Search key and menu option?

Android :: How To Quickly Add A Contact

Aug 7, 2010

Quite often we meet a new person, and we want to get each other's phone number. Back when I had my old non-smartphone it was easy, I enter the number press a button and there's an option to save it as new contact, I don't even need to enter a name till later.

I have a HTC Desire running Android 2.2, what's the best way to quickly record a phone number?

I always found it frustrating when someone asks for my number, I begin to say it then they go "wait wait hang on", while they fiddle with the menus to add a new contact. Now it seems I'm on the same boat!

Android :: Quickly Add Application Shortcut

Jun 22, 2009

While playing with my phone the other day I realised a way of adding application shortcuts a faster way to the home screen then holding a blank space, choosing shortcuts, applications then selecting. Open your apps list and just tap and hold an app, it then pops to the homescreen so you can add the shortcut. Found this much quicker than waiting for the apps list to load everytime.
