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 Everyone,
I switched to the Mogul from my old iJam TMO phone. With the old Windows Mobile 2003 system, in phone mode, when I press the "up" button, the phone opens the call history. This makes it very easy to make calls without searching contacts or using more actions to dial a number of get to call history via the menu.
In WM6, I noticed that the "up" button won't automatically open call history. I need to use Menu->Call History. Can the button be set up within the phone feature so the "up" button opens call history?

Search the forum for an app called smartskey, it allows for this and much more.

When I open the slider or invoke the "phone app", the actual scrren I get is that of the call history. I then have to press "keypad" to go to the dialer?
Is there a way to go straight to the dialer when I open the slider?
hmm...since the hardware keypad is already open, just press a digit to go to the dialer. or did that not solve it?
No, actually pressing any number in the keypad has no results in call history...
It is actually a setting in the phone.
Go to Settings/Personal/Phone/Advanced and make sure that the bottom box is not ticked "Press SEND key to open Call History" untick it.
I hope this is what you mean.
seal, you're a GENIOUS!!
I thought that checkbox only affected the send button but it also affects the slide open.
Thanks!!
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
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 ;-)
Hello
When I click the microphone icon or say the phrase 'ok Google' the search window opens for an instance and then closes again. There is no error message. This behavior is regardless of where I perform the search. The result is the same from the Google now view, when the screen is off or for voice searches from within the imdb app.
When I restart the phone the problem usually goes away but is back after a voice search or two.
What should I do?
