Hi all,
Before my last hard reset, I did something to make the default search from the internet tab be a different URL so that it loaded the full google results and didn't give the stupid mobile view. For the life of me though, I can't remember or find what it was that I did!
Any ideas?
Cheers

Excellent, thanks very much for the link - I had to add the key which was why I couldn't find it before!

I have a T Mobile MDA Vario and have been using it now for about 6 months.
When I am typing a text or email, the suggested words that come up include misspelt words etc.
How can you delete User Defined words. I have looked everywhere. The Manual seems to say that you can do something like this through phonepad. I have tried this but failed.
If I type the word Don the word that it suggests is Donaster and should be Doncaster.
I Hope this makes sense, I was considering formatting the MDA, but was scared incase I cant get all my info back.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Sarah
1. welcome to XDA-Dev
2. the words are stored in Windows\dyncompdict.dat. You can safely delete / edit them. If you choose the latter, therere several tools to do it.
I've published several articles on this question; please make a forum / blog search for dyncompdict.dat
Than you so much for the quick reply.
This website looks excellent.
I will do that search now, and see if I can get the problem sorted.
Will get back to you.
Cheers
Sarah
All sorted now, will download the MikkoPPC program when I get home and have a look at that.
Many Thanks for your help.
Sarah
I have downloaded the Mikko program and saved a new dyncompdict.dat file.
When I email, it still comes up with mis-spelt words.
I have tried a soft reboot and am still getting the words.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Sarah
As some of you who have downloaded Windows LIVE know, you get the option to place two Today-plugins if you so desire. The main Windows Live is pretty sucky due to its waste of precious screen space.
However the search plugin can be quite useful since you can just click "xyz" on it and it opens PIE and off it goes.
However the sad part about it is that it uses MSN search as default. Now, we all know how amazing MSN search is. Thus I would like to change it so it uses another search engine. Perhaps that mom and pop search engine called Google instead.
Obviously this is in the registry somewhere, I hope. So I was wondering if anyone here knows how to do it. And please don't just post "search the registry," as that is help at all.
Some quick google searches came out empty. I guess that WL for PPC is still somewhat new for the mainstream.
Cheers,
BUMP?.....
I would imagine that this is hard coded and you can't change it.
I was thinking about this becuase on Vista The option is there to change the serach defualt.
Wondring if there is a link to open the search page....

Google search on Today screen
I remember from when the Windows Live search today plugin came out and I was reading the Axim boards, there was at least one person who came out with Google plug-ins.
A quick Google search (of course ) found this:

I haven't tried it yet, but I think I might just download it myself.
Downloaded and installed... WORKS GOOD. It also allows you to change the background and text color.

Thanks for the reply! I am trying it now. However this is not a play on the WL plugin but a complete rewrite. A brand new app. A beta.
done bosh sorted
Yup, I read that one already and did the changes. I was going to post but the thread was closed.
Well, the two main issues I had, this and the Opera\Outlook issue has been fixed. Alright!
Sorry if Ive posted this is the wrong place peeps,i have tried to do a search but couldn't find anything.
Basically i have flashed up to WM 6 and when i try and load forum pages like this one i cant use the reply box.There seems to be some problem with the way the page is displaying and I.E doesn't seem to understand that the box is click able for text addition.
Is there something i should install so the page presents correctly?
Sorry if this has been asked before I'm a relative noob to all this,mod please feel free to move if its in the wrong place.
Many thanks in advance.Tony
Are you logged in to the forum from your PDA?
Sure the thread isn't locked?
Have you tried desktop view in PocketIE?
Or, try Opera or another Explorer.
Unfortunately, for a PDA / smartphone forum, XDA-developers really isn't mobile viewer friendly. I sometimes view the forum through Google so it gets converted to a less cluttered format.
Thanks for your reply Hyperbaric,i have this prob with a few different forums.I have tried Opera browser last night and it was fine.Shame Ive now got to buy a browser as the I.E one doesn't display all pages correctly.
Thanks again Tony
I'm using WM5 at the moment and it's fine. Did this only start on WM6?
Mike
Hi Mike
Thinking back yes im sure it was fine when using WM5,im using the latest LVSW rom 3.3.09,at least it was the newest rom last week unless a new one is out lol.
Many thanks for your input.Tony
I am in the UK, the regional settings are (obviously) set to UK and English language, I use O2, but every time I do a search on Opera, I get a list of German language websites, never English ones.
What is going on? Somehow, the browser is telling the outside world that I am in Germany, but I am not.
How do I change this?

This topic was brought up already in another thread, try using the search function next time.
It is due to the fact that O2 uses German IP addresses I believe. The original thread has more detail on the topic.
search didn't show anything - I'll try some other search terms, but thanks for the info in the mean time.

Click 'search this forum' and use german results as the search term
here is the output
Sadly the answer lies in editing a hard coded file, not so easy.
I was having the same problem too. For me, the link posted above doesn't work and searching this forum for 'german results' only returns this thread.
However, I believe I have managed to fix it. My understanding of German is not good but one of the links at the bottom of the google results page turned out to be Preferences. Guess what - one of the options is Language. It seems like Google leaves a cookie or something and since I made the prefs change, all my results have been in English!

thanks for this tip - I have checked both mobile and grown-up Google, and they both show my language as English (UK) (which is correct) - I don't seem to be getting any more German pages, although I had never changed the settings.
thanks again.

It becomes more of a problem in the UK within certain websites.
I cannot use my phone to buy lottery tickets because the site thinks im outside the UK. It is very annoying and a solution would be gladly received
hi guys, i am trying to remeove the bigpond logo from my search page and would like to change the default search option from sensis search to google.
i think i am in the right forum. should i be looking in the registry or in the explore? either way i can't find the correct file to edit... help would be great
Not sure about the logo, though i suspect the reg reference may be in the same place, , ,
have a read of this, post 2
