Er, what? Froyo does local searches? - Nexus One General

Hi,
I was playing around with the new (fast, fast!) global search from froyo and noticed that when I type a whole word that might correspond to a business (e.g. restaurant, bakery) I get an entry for it. The funny thing it even shows the rating and the phone number, and when clicked gives me the option to call, show on map and even add to contacts!
How crazy is that? Did you know it?

Mine doesn't do that. Is there a preference or something?

It only does it using the new google searching widget. It works pretty well actually, even in a little village like mine

Yeah it's a great little feature, will come in handy for sure.

All I can say is, wow!

Doesn't seem to work for me in Norway.

I think you have to check an option in the privacy settings for it to work, but you don't need the search widget: pressing the search button in the home screen gives the same results.
Anyway, does it happen to you that the results it gives are farther away than other existing ones? E.g. you get a bakery two km away, when you know there is one at a hundred metres and it appears in the maps too.

It doesn't work that way, it doesn't do complex searches (e.g. you picking the place). The second try should have worked, though. If I search "pizza" I definitely get a local result.
Here's a screenshot I took last night, I just checked and it works for "pizza" too:

very cool.
thanks
very nice! I've been looking for this for a while. I'd rather have an independent icon on my taskbar than one replacing the start icon, so this is a great replacement for ArielBattery. Thanks!
Great idea, unfortunately does not work on my HTC Elfin.
Can someone host this somewhere other than ziddu? I can't connect from work (not sure if the site is down or blocked).

Thank you, good sir
awesome! love it.
It doesn't show the number in my P535. The icon is actually changed.
Not working on Samsung i760. Tried both cabs, the numbattery didn't do anything, the QVGA one changed the icon to a solid white one, but no numbers at all. Is there a configuration file to change or something?
Also, it wiped out my background picture of my today screen. Had to set it back up...
does not seem to work on my verizon touch pro
Did not work on my Treo 750 with WM6.0
after installing cab and restarting, I had a second battery icon (that looked like your original from the picture above, vertical lines), but no numbers.
Thanks anyway...
lol... working on polaris... thankfully
Does not work on Samsung Epix (i907).
Why does the thread opener has been banned?
If i´m right, i think he had "stolen" the battery-icon-gauge from another forum-member, and posted it her as his creation.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424926
Great it worked in my TyTn II. Thanks for your effort bro. I am loving it.

Phantom Voicemails - Still have them

I have been having issues with the Phantom Voicemail issue on all the Cyanogen Mod roms.
I have tried changing the voicemail phone number through the My Carrier options, that did nothing. Tried clearing out the Dialer Storage, that did nothing.
I have spent roughly 3 hours trying to find a fix. Does anyone know of anything?
I use Google Voice, so the dual notification icons get annoying, not to mention the fact that this one doesn't disappear, and reappears if I reboot my phone, or go in and out of service.
If there is a file that I can remove to have it stop, and allow me to just use Google Voice, that would work great too, as of now, I just want the darn thing gone.
You have to download an app and black list it. There's a post around here somewhere. I'm on my phone so I can't find it. But look for Sprint's VVM. There's a link to the app in the OP.

The two apps I can think of are RedList, and SPC (Super Private Conversation). SPC is the bigger of the two apps (I think around 2-3mb?), but I don't think the free version of RedList lets you disable the notification icon (I could be wrong? Someone feel free to correct me).
Is there anything other then an application that can block the notification message?
Removing a file or changing a file perhaps?
No clue, though I'd wager it has to be done on the code level.
I don't think I've ever actually ran into this bug. I gather it notifies you of voicemails despite not actually having any? Odd.
It looks like this, with my phone number edited out.

No matter what the time it is, this was on first boot up. Then it "notified me" again, at 11:17 PM.
It's a known bug on Cyanogenmod...

Been having issues with the accelerometer

Just got my adam today....
Been having issues with the accelerometer seems like eveything in games or apps that use the function wants to go to the right..no other holding place works.. just veers sharp right. then when I twist it at around it will go the other way but then back to right if I keep turning it ...
also when I hold it with my left hand only in landscape mode you see a spot of pressure on the screen push in as if my pointer finger in the back is pushin on the screen.
any one have any ideas.. already have wiped and tried again still no luck
The crazy part is the homescreen (launcher pro) always orients the proper way all the way around.. but maybe its a different sensor .. i dont know.
EDIT: I ran the program on my G2 and the blue points up to sky, the green points the right and the red is pointing in my direction...
If there is no way to reset the center in that accelerometer than I might just have to send it back.
Below is when the tablet is on a flat service.. if anyone else can run Z-device test to see what it should be that would be awesome.. i need to know if I need to fix this or send it back

Also here is a video of me use the "Swing Ball" app which shows that the balls swing straight up.
They move recklessly when I move the tablet around.
i've been having the same issue, and a little poking around has not yet yielded a fix. i'm still looking, but if anyone else finds anything, it would be great to know

9505g wallpaper out of box

I just got 2 new 9505G's for me and my wife. Out of the box they had a simple blue themed wallpaper that looks kind of cool. I unlocked the bootloader on my phone which of course reset the data and for some reason defaulted to one of the live wallpapers, while my wife's is still on the blue one I mentioned before.
I cannot for the life of me find the blue wallpaper as an option on either phone (even on the one where it is actually being used). Any ideas where this file is stored?

Okay great! I know how it feels to want something and not get it! Glad I could help. Found it on google.
I take it back, that is not the right image file. It appears similar but it is of a lower quality with weird rendering artifact bands across it. No offense to the guy who posted it, but if anybody else still has any ideas, I am all ears.
I found it by searching inside the stock images in the 9505G development forum.
It is buried inside framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\default_wallpaper.png. Seems pretty stupid they would make the default wallpaper something the user can't select again once he's changed it.
I put it online HERE.

Weird location issue.

I got myself an unlocked Note3 on launch day and since switching from Note 2 to Note 3 I've noticed that when my phone is in standby my location keeps going to somewhere off the coast of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Wouldn't be so bad but I'm in the NorthEast of Scotland (up by Aberdeen) and it really throws stuff off why trying to use location based services in the first few minutes.
Has anyone else noticed this type of drift when sleeping?
If your location is being detected by mobile phone bases rather than gps it is probably due to the equipment in the base station having moved. This happens from time to time when a mobile operator fixes a fault at a base station and does not reprogram the cell id upon which the phone relies to get the location. There are some apps like Cellmapper that will let you see the cell ids that are supposed to be in an area and apps like Tasker that will get them in real time

Thanks I'll have a look at that.
Only thing is it doesn't really matter where I am but the false location is always the same.
I've seen this in Aberdeen city and also in Peterhead and Fraserburgh.
That's more inexplicable.....although there must be a reason!

Today takes the biscuit.
Just glanced at my phone and my weather is for Bani Walid (in Libya). Is my phone trying to tell me something?
