can you run adb commands from terminal emulator? I do not have my computer in front of me to do adb
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigRick10:
Tried to download from the market and now getting a package not signed correctly on voice search and the new search app. Maybe Google is aware of it now and working on it.

If you uninstall from system, then reboot, then install the new google search, it removes functionality with the built in search button on the phone.

Anyone know how to fix this?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bcpk:
It installed fine for me on the N1, but the search keywords aren't actually working. Like I say "Listen To Radiohead" and it comes up as a search term instead of actually starting the music player. Same with visiting a website :

I'm on Fresh 3.1.0.1 rom, and this is what I did:

1. Install Titanium Backup

2. goto back/restore, and go down to Voice Search

3. tap it to Un-install

4. reboot phone

5. goto Market, and install new version of Voice Search.

6. enjoy!

alarm clock

it tell me when i use "set alarm" that i have to have the newest clock app...

it provides a link to that in the market...which is not found.

ahh.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nondescript Van:
yeah if anybody has the newest clock that works with this please post it. thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ceger:
I was actually talking about the updated Google Search, not voice search which is working just fine. Thanks for the assist though. Much aprpeciated. ;)

Seems that if you follow the same methodology for updating to the newer search app, then you lose system functionality tied into both the search button and system settings.

Somebody please help with this... How do I link it back to the search button?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Its cause most roms are deox/ doest play well. Just use rootexplorer or the adb commands
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krazyflipj:
+1. I'm using latest nightly on cm6 and i lose search button. I'm just gonna use old version until someone figures this out.

*UPDATE* I think the problem is you need the updated google search box as well. But when you uninstall old version and install new version, I can't seem to find the app in /system/app. Also, you lose functionality with search button.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] loztboy:
I installed this with no problems with my Evio rom 1.02. Although it doesn't work worth a damn. It never calls who i want it to call. Most of the new "Action" commands don't work correctly. I have no idea what's going on.

Yes I know the new Voice Search won't install on CM because of different signatures. Should be fixable.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dukins:
Long press the search button and an option will come up to choose your desired app for that button, obviously choose voice search. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigant262:
Also, Paul O'Brien put out some APK's test signed, I tried and still doesn't work. I tried installing the new search bar and nothing. :( I can post the link to the apk's if you guys would like.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kiddecks:
i'm running CM6 8/10 build and i deleted the built in Google Search to install the updated one from the market. I also ran into the problem with losing my search button.

I reflashed my ROM without wiping and my search button came back using the newly updated version.

ETA: new voice search doesn't work for ****. i haven't gotten it to text or call the correct person yet.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ricersniper:
You beat me to it. works for me just fine on both my Cyanogen 7-29 nightly and my fresh 3.101. make sure you get both the voice search and the Google search. this updates the widget if you use that. it works flawlessly for me. i have ran through all of the features and haven't had any issues with the recognition. as with all voice recognition you need to speak clearly and slowly enough that it can pick it up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigRick10:
I'm just going to wait for Cyanogen to fix it. While I flash the new nightly with the new kernel right now :cool:

Search Widget Fixed.

For all those looking for the search button widget. just download it from the google market. Search "Google Search"

the only thing I'm having issues with is getting it to play music using anything other than Pandora.

For those still having issues downloading the app: Use the ADB solution posted in the earlier threads.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iPhoneSlayer:
After I uninstalled/installed Voice search, My search widget looked like the old Google search widget...and the search soft key wouldn't bring up the search box.

I removed the widget and kept pressing the search soft key, then I re-added the widget and BAM! it was the back to what it was before! And my soft key works too.

I think it just need a few minutes to get acquainted with the new voice search app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krazyflipj:
So u didn't update the google search app? (I'm not talking about voice search) What rom are you running?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iPhoneSlayer:
No, I didn't update the search app. It just started working on it's own. I'm running Cyanogen 6 with the 08122010 nightly.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zillinder:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] emulatorx:
yep confirmed the quick search did NOT have to be uninstalled to make the new voice search installable. Only Voice search had to be uninstalled to get the new one from the market to successfully install.

At first I uninstalled BOTH and then my search button did nothing ( htc evo).. so i restored nand.. and tried again and this time didnt touch the quick search app and now everything works as before and now i have the new voice search ..thanks OP for the heads up on this.. i wasnt even aware of the new version

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Puma81:
For people having issues with the softkey not working make sure you're also installing the voice search along side the Google search after removing the old ones.

Voice Search

Google Search
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdegroot:
Yup. Worked for me too. I'm on a Droid running rooted stock FRG01B. My only problem now is that a single-tap of my search button doesn't open Quick Search anymore. Any ideas on how to fix that button assignment? Right now, it vibrates to show it is recognizing the button press, but nothing happens.... :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] catzilla:
That doesn't actually help me any.

Long press is a different action than short press.

I want long press to be voice search, and short press to be regular search.

I got the former, but not the latter. Ideas?

I just want to reassign the short press to regular search again!

Anyone get the "Set Alarm" feature to work. I cant find the correct "Desk Clock" apk any where and the link in the help section for the Voice Search leads to nothing?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdegroot:
So on another forum, I found a link to this Google Code Topic about this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10389

From what he says, we should be able to get our short-press working again by copying /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk to /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk and rebooting. The problem is, how do I do that?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jblazea50:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] catzilla:
Pretty awesome. I got it working.

Quick guide:

Start -> run -> cmd

adb remount

adb shell cp /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

adb reboot
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdegroot:
thanks for the guide! The problem is, for some reason, when I do adb remount, i got an error that says "remount failed: Operation not permitted". Any ideas?

EDIT: This happens when I run the adb command from my Mac or my Windows 7 Virtual Machine...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] catzilla:
Do you have root?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdegroot:
Yeah. I have root on my phone.... busybox and superuser and all that jazz...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] catzilla:
Try

adb root

first
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdegroot:
It denies me that too for some reason... I did just do some more searching and found this: http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/msg/da581f1b398fdf8b

I just tried it and it looks like it worked successfully. I copied the file from within the shell and I confirmed it was in system/app afterwords using root explorer. So I am restarting now and hopefully the button will work...

EDIT: SUCCESS!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] catzilla:
Make sure you restore original permissions back. Otherwise you could be in for a world of trouble.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdegroot:
Yup. All I need to do is this command: chmod 755 /system

Right?

I absolutely cannot install the new versions of voice search and google search. I have tried everything. Uninstalled old versions using Titanium Backup, rebooted, old apps reappear. Removed apps using Root Explorer, same thing. As soon as I reboot the phone, the old apps reappear and I cannot install the new versions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I tried installing the same versions extracted from a previous ROM, no dice. I'm running Ava V5 ROM.

If you are having issues, Vlingo works just like this and used to cost 9.99 and is now free on the market. The cool thing about Vlingo is that you can modify a lot of the settings... for example I can take the offensive language filter off and Vlingo will cus up a storm for me in my emails and text messages and web searches!

any ideas? can't get this to work no matter what i try so i've been using vlingo
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeathBySnuggles:
Google search only recognizes contacts synchronized with gmail. Not your phone contacts. Go into the people app. Click menu then import export. Export your contacts to SD. Then hit import and import your contacts to Google. After it sync's the search will work as expected.

I found xda way back when I was just googling fuze tips and tricks. Not wanting to unlock, hack, flash my phone, just personalize it and make it cooler than it was already.

I'm getting a Droid X (should be waiting for me at home tonight, in fact :O ), and due to the size of the device, I'm probably going to want a bluetooth earpiece for longer calls. Now the question is, I've looked around on newegg, and amazon, but I can't really narrow down any one earpiece. Does anyone have any recommendations? This will only be for calls, not music. It should be somewhat comfortable, and have good sound quality and volume, since I'll be using it in the car as well. I'm OK with paying a little extra for a good quality earpiece if I know it'll be good, or that the company supports it well.

[Vibrant General] gregc2009:
Was messing around trying to restore the phone back to stock using: [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)

Odin never got passed file analysis.

Phone showed yellow digger but not progress bar.

I gave up and ended up popping the battery out of the phone. Apparently that is a bad idea.

Now, when I try to power up or even plug in the usb cable, it is displaying a phone on the left, a pc on the right with a caution sign with "!" in between the two.

Any hope for me?

-Greg
[Vibrant General] glensta:
Same thing happened to me....."twice" I'm a little more hard headed than most. Anyways, I went back to t-mobile and they exchanged both times - so maybe check that out. I haven't seen anyway yet to get past that "phone > pc" screen.

-Good luck
[Vibrant General] gregc2009:
Wonderful... I got the phone used.
[Vibrant General] gregc2009:
Been playing with it for a while. Trip to the T-mobile store... call to Samsung tech... was looking pretty bleak.

With the screen displaying the phone....pc, it wouldn't do a thing. Plugging in the USB, nothing (no beep beep notification from PC either). This told me for whatever reason, the USB boot loader was failing.

I tried a different approach. Rather than hold vol up and down then power, then connect USB (or USB before the sequence)... I decided to see if plugging in the USB as the power trigger would work. IT DID!!

So, to spell it out. Pull battery to get phone turned off. Put batter back in. No SIM, no SD. Hold vol up and down then plug in USB cable attached to PC. Voiala - Little digging guy ready to flash.

Flashed it with the stock ROM and am golden again.

hello,

I install some games on my HTC Desire ex. Guitar Hero and I have problem with my screen. In some games (guitar hero) I need to press two button (on the screen) at the same time, but only one is working. Is this possible to repair this problem? I have this bug in all games where I shoud press screen on two sides at the same time.

Can anyone help me?

I have android 2.2.
[Desire General] doinbox:
Contact the developer of the game. The desire supports two touches at once which is all you need. So if it doesn't work its the game that doesn't support it.
[Desire General] Jon_010:
Actually I think it's a HTC issue. Download Dotty from the market and try using multi touch on the screen. You'll soon see the problems!
[Desire General] angel554:
I check this on Dotty and I have only this bug: youtube.com/watch?v=hVlsRCMltDg.

In dotty I have correct two touch in one line at the same time, but my other aplications don't work with two touches correctly.

Maybe it is bug after android update 2.1->2.2?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
The desire dosent have true multitouch, it only has dual touch, this leads to all sorts of problems in games
[Desire General] angel554:
So which Andorid smartphones have true multitouch function?

Only iphone have true multitouch?

It's not good for HTC to make not full functional phone :(
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
I don't think any android has true multi-touch, certainly nothing made by HTC.

All htc phones are single touch that can detect certain gestures based on the "size" of the touch i.e. the difference between the 2 points, that is how it can work out pinch zooming as the size of the touch either shrinks or grows.
[Desire General] angel554:
Samsung Galaxy I9000 S have full multitouch. Now I regret because I should buy better smartphone a few days ago :(
[Desire General] levellerbob:
Guitar Hero on Android is not multitouch so will only register one finger at a time. It is just one of many issues with that game. Registering 2 touches is more than adequate for every multitouch game I have ever tried so no need to make an issue out of the Desire's slightly dated multitouch screen technology.
[Desire General] abnesher:
But the Desire isn't registering 2 touches. It's registering 1 finger as 1 touch and 2 fingers as 1 large touch with altering sizes. If you have ever tried any of the first person shooter-games on the Desire you will know that these games are very hard to play bc you can't change viewpoint and move at the same time. Many of gamelofts 3d action games are unplayable because of this. Many games on different emulators are difficult too because of the need to push multiple buttons at once.

I'm a bit of a gaming nut and was VERY disappointed by this when I bought my Desire. It's a very nice phone, but it puzzles me how HTC decided on some of the more odd and annoying designchoices....apparently its just impossible to get THE perfect phone...

(still wondering why a crappy camera is upgraded to record 720p....hooray, now my blurry, dark and noisy videos are ugly in HD! ;) )
