[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
:D LOL!!! How embarassing for Microsoft. There is a bug on WP7 with some carriers where if you press search, you get Yahoo, not Bing

I had to laugh!! :D

[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
It's just O2 in the UK I beleive. I raised this last week when asking about customisations that carriers may have made, and appears to be intentional by O2. Though I get the impression Microsoft where not aware and may not be happy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
It's the carrier, look at the Samsung Galaxy S on US Verizon - Fascinate - an Android phone, running Google services, yet you press search and Bing! you got.
[Windows Phone 7 General] martoto:
Yeah, we all know what a crap carriers could load if it's on them. However that was one of the promises for Windows Phone 7 - no more bloatware. Now what are we seeing - the same s#it. For me pressing the search and bringing Yahoo, 360 (Orange users knows what I mean) or whatever is utterly annoying, especially there is not a way for changing that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
It has always been known (since the first leaked documents on WP7) that the carriers and the OEMs can, indeed, change some aspects of the phone.

However, they are VERY limited in what they're allowed to do. I didn't think they could change the search button, but I did know that they could change the default search provider within IE.

Casey
[Windows Phone 7 General] evilangelic:
I'd love to change it to google... Bing just doesn't give me what i'm looking for... it's really terrible for me...
[Windows Phone 7 General] martoto:
Well, I did not read every letter of the "early leaked" docs about WP7, however I did read something like the following on many different sources: Windows Phone 7: Bing only default search option . So now, when it is already known this isn't exactly true, I am quite disappointed. I like the idea about sameness user experience on every device, but I am afraid it is now somehow compromised with substitution of the default search in IE.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
For my job I need to use a search engine at least 5 times a day. I find Bing to be awesome! I find google to be so boring and depressing.

I would be really unhappy though if Yahoo came up every time I clicked search.

I guess your only choice is to click home first before search whenever in the browser
[Windows Phone 7 General] evilangelic:
I do have a live tile to google front page lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Most carriers really irritate me. As if it wasn't enough to rip us off, and cap our broadband. They go and install their crap on our phones too!
[Windows Phone 7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I'm fairly confident that eventually we'll be able to flash generic WP7 ROMs to carrier-modified devices to avoid these stupid types of things. It'll be a while though, seeing as WP7 is brand new and not necessarily attractive to the usual breed of hardcore 6.1 / 6.5 modders and cooks on xda-developers.

For now, if I ever have to search while I'm in IE I'm first hitting the Start button and then Search.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smokexz:
Really, I hope users can do this themselves with ease, I am not a huge fan of Bing... Although it is a million times better than Yahoo xD.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Yeah.

I think carriers need to stop putting their rubbish on OUR phones. It would also be nice if they remove the internet caps too :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
On the HD2, when in Opera browser, you can type in the URL field opera:config and get access to a lot of the browser settings. Maybe there is something similar for ie on the HD7 to change the search engine????

Also that is not all O2 have changed. They have removed the option to use voice search when using bing. Normally you would hold the windows button down and say "find cash point" for example.

Even the people tab has been changed as when you click on a contact's address, you should be taken direct to the address on bing maps. Alas O2 decided to remove this feature too! That's THREE things thay have changed. Sucks
[Windows Phone 7 General] diego1985:
Boy i can imagine how much fun AT&T is going to have with the search button lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
AT&T has never been into those modifications, unlike Verizon. Mictosoft has taken care of the usual AT&T annoyances: their crappy preloaded modofied Opera Mini, TeleNav, MobiTV, and other associated bloatwares. WP7 doesn't sideload like droids so they don't have to worry about that. Captivate was actually decent, and they didn't do much to the Pre/Pixi.

I wouldn't expect any surprisrs, TBH.

Bing is a great search enging, though. I had it set as my homepage simce forever. Google even copied their image search UI. Bing Maps is good, as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Microsoft should pull all of their phones from O2 for their Bull***t
[Windows Phone 7 General] diego1985:
Well that's a relief I guess, with all the garbage they loaded on my Samsung Jack win mo 6.5 im looking for a upgrade without all of that crapware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I had a jack. Crapware on winmo never bothered me because the OS has supported installing applications to sd cards since forever... Like nearly a decade.

Just had to remap a couple buttons on the phone, that's about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Bing IS the only search option on the o2 HD7. You press search from almost anywhere and you get taken to the bing search app.

What o2 HAVE changed however, is if you press search from WITHIN IE you get Yahoo. This is within the browser only.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
I am pretty sure Microsoft still won't like that though as they do love their Bing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] martoto:
That's true. However think about it again: (average) Joe is considering buying a WP7 and he read/heard that Bing is the only possible search option in order to preserve the consistent and quality user experience. Still he is happy with that because he's OK with Bing (or even like it). What is his surprise when after all of that promises he gets “yahoo” or “360” or whatever else for search option. And guess where: in the browser, the most common place in the UI where he gonna search the Internet.

I know that is something you can live with (always pressing home before search), but I can’t agree this is acceptable and match the "consistent experience" philosophy that Microsoft promised.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ruscik:
Hehe it seems I am one of very fiew people left with unlimited broadband on o2.

I purchased it on 18 month contract when it first arrived as bolt on 3 years ago. With in 12 months o2 removed it as a optional bolt on and replaced it with unlimited wifi. While if you wanted the data bolt on you had to pay. In last 6 months they changed all new tariffs to have 500mb limit ;). In that time prices for the same tarif I have went down but I never changed and do not intend to.

I have only two limitations in my contract no skype (or any other) internet voice call and no prelonged streaming. I can watch short videos but I can not listen to radio or stream TV shows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
You do know that Yahoo's a front end to Bing, right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Still nice to see Bing :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Yeah... we love.. it's a matter of principal
[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
Yahoo is not a frontend for Bing in the UK. It is just old crappy yahoo still.

I miss watching anime on the go. I am trying to get away from having to convert my videos to the psp. I was hoping there would be some way to do it on my EVO. The videos are MKV with subs.

I have tried

Stock - Does not play

RockPlayer - MKV plays but no subs

Mplayer - Does not play

YxPlayer- MKV players but no subs (and stupid advertisement in the middle of the video)

vPlayer plays subs fine, just extract subs from your mkv using mkvextract (gui version if you prefer) or other extractor. if the sub isnt srt you can convert it with subtitle workshop or other app. ASS and SSA subs dont work, I tested, but

a 720p mkv enconded in h264 and audio in aac with the srt in the same foder with the same file name works like a charm on my evo.

5. Long Press on the file Default.prop and choose "Open in Text Editor"

6. Change in the folowing lines the XXXX-XXXX (scroll for firm codes):

ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX

ro.product.name=x10_XXXX-XXXX

7. Press "Menu" and choose save and exit

8. Reboot your Phone

9. Open PC Companion

10. Choose Support Zone

As soon as google accepted the country android 2.1 version for your country, the update will be available. If you have a branded set, it will take a little more longer because the operators(orange, vodafone,t-mobile) tweak there versions and this wil take time (1 or 2 weeks).

Wow, that's awesome! Such an easy way to debrand! And a nice, comprehensive list, too.

Sounds like this could make rooting a lot easier too. Most people struggle with the flashing (a.k.a debranding) part, not so much with the actual rooting (unless they're using the old method). A new method could be this:

1. Go to the Exploid One Click .apk Root thread and download X10Root.apk (currently version 1.0.8).

2. Using whatever firmware you currently have, install the X10Root.apk file. You can copy it to your SD card and use ASTRO file manager, or use "adb install" command, etc.

3. Run the X10Root app. This roots your phone.

4. Install Root Explorer and follow the above directions to debrand your phone to any version you like.

5. Not sure if you need to root again (by repeating steps 2-3). From my experience, it's not necessary.

6. Install necessary root programs and apps like "su", "busybox" and Superuser.apk.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MovieBit:
Yes yes yes!

It works like it should!

Now on Generic Dutch OS.

Hey everyone!

I'm going to make this as short as possible. I purchased a Sammy S about a month ago and bricked it while installing the OCLF apk available from the forums. Pretty weird how that happened considering it never gave me any problems before, I practically fried my internal SD and couldnt boot any firmware. Since then i've got a replacement for it and now I want to give things another shot.

Just like most of us on xda, I want the best firmware with all the cool nifty stuff, but now im kind of worried about bricking it again, so to avoid that im hoping I can get some clarification on some things:

- Phone is SGS, GT-I9000 (Canadian on Rogers), 2.2, I9000XXJP2, Recovery 3e.

To my understanding from reading some more forums last night, flashing new firmware or new ROMs with Recovery 3e is deadly, in which case i must obtain recovery 2e...

Is there a way to do this with my current firmware? OR

Do I flash a different firmware using Odin, and then attempt to obtain recovery 2e?

Cheers

- Sam
