Is there a way to change the current function of Long Press Search (current Google Voice Search)
If you find an app that has a function assigned to it then yes. Handcent lets you start a quick text with it. the first time I tried to voice search after installing it I had to choose between handcent and voice search

I recently banned ALL sprint apps through the Damaged DConfig app. When you do this it unfortunately removes the stock sprint visual voice mail app. Well, instead of going into the dialer and long pressing the "1" key, I figured out how to at least add the functioning icon back to my home page the way I liked it, but without the visual voice mail functions.
1. add "Voice Mail" to your contacts.
2. for the phone number of "Voice Mail", use your phone number, ex. (XXX)123-4567.
3. go to google and type in "voice mail icon" in search and find an icon that you like.
4. save it to your PC.
5. open up google gmail on your PC's browser.
6. make sure that your phones gmail account has synced.
7. go to your contacts in gmail on your PC.
8. located "Voice Mail" in your contacts and click on the "change picture" on that contact.
9. click to browse for the image that you saved. double click the image.
10. once it syncs, go back to your phone and long press an empty space on your phones homescreen.
11. click on shortcuts, then direct dial, and then click on your "Voice Mail" icon.
Thats it. It doesn't give you the functionality of the visual voice mail, it's only the basic dial in voice mail, but it helps to fill the void on your home page. You should still recieve a notification of a new voice message, then just click your new "Voice Mail" icon to listen.
Hopefully someone else will find this to be helpful. I know I did.
Share your icons for others if you like this.
Is there a way to change the long press of the search button to launch voice dialer like my G1 used to?
You had a search button on a g1?
It brings up voice search, and I just tried "call home" and the top result was to dial home. You could also install vlingo, it has a more direct dial command.
oh, i meant the power/hangup button long press. when i say "call home" it opens google search in my web browser with the words call home as the search string...
hi can anyone tell me how to search for contacts in the search key?
(the 4 keys on the tab)
i press search key
i type my contacts name
it asks me which browser i want to use 'to complete the action'??
i have the search settings to only search apps and contacts but it keeps trying to open a browser
i can see the contact behind the browser i want to use 'to complete the action' screen, but cant get to it, pressing back key just exits search?
baffled!!
Press search button on your tab, press the "g" google button in the top left corner and a drop down menu lets you select which criteria you want the search function to be available for...
There is a grey option button top right in that lets you select/add searchable items. In your case make sure "Contacts" is ticked. The searched for contacts appear at the bottom of your search list.
e.g. if you want to search your messages too then tick "Messaging"
Hope this helps ;-)
Running Stable Release - CM-7.0.3
When I press the Genius button and select "voice search" to speak an audible command and try to send a txt msg by speaking for example:
"Send text to Joe. What time is the party?"
This will open a new txt message box with the entire voice command in the message text including the "send text to joe" part. And it leaves the TO: field blank. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Have you tried using Vlingo or another voice search app?
Did a search and didn't seem to find anything related to this. But I just got the Arc tonight and trying to configure my Handcent quick compose feature. There's no search button so the only other option to start the quick compose is if I long press the camera button. I have that checked in the options. But when I long press the camera button the camera still shows up!
Any body encounter the same thing? TIA!
long purses on the menu key brings up the keyboard.... will that do what you want?
Sent from The Arc!
^ Sadly no.. I'm looking for the quick compose popup from handcent sms...
