[Request] Google Search as default action - Epic 4G General

Is there a way to make it so that Google Search opens with the physical keyboard?

It does when you hit search.....

I do believe if you open slideout keyboard and start typing it will search everything, even go into google search.

Ah lol, gotcha

Bump. I figure if people can complain about checkerboarding browsers and battery full pop ups then I should be allowed to want for something that actually adds some functionality to the phone. For some reason this just really irks me and makes the Epic feel somewhat gimped imo.

Wow, I have never once been jealous of an iPhone. Until now. Jesus
Will that card-like interface ever be possible on Android?
...all it did was take the same functionality we've had since the begining and made a spiral/wheel interface like apple always had.
Have you tried holding down the home key for quick app switching on android? All the iphone app does is give you screenshot of the app windows. Fancy, but not better.

Damn, I knew I should have mentioned the long press so someone doesn't bring it up. Yes, I know about that.
However, I would still love to have the card-like interface, as personal preference.
(Also note the long press shows recently used applications, not currently running ones.)
And yes, I also know about the Task Switcher app. However, having to use the camera button to activate it is annoying. If it could replace the Home long-press, that would be just perfect (or Home double tap like Multifl0w).

personally, it seems to me that apple has always been more concerned with aesthetics than functionality.
this is really old. Background enabler for iphone and ipod touch has been out for a really long time. (Available through cydia after jailbreak of course). Although not having the scrolling interface, it has the same functionality the android has had since 1.0.

Yes it could have been in the Q&A section, but it still pertains to android development as he is asking if its possible to make bring it to the android system. Calling it garbage is just an immature reaction to what I'm guessing to be your hatred towards anything apple. One man's trash is another man's treasure, so can please respect each other?
What would be really interesting, is if the hold home button for a few seconds to bring up the "recently opened apps" would show only running apps, and had some sort of way of closing/ending them. That way it would be much more useful.

Listen pal.. understand you're a newb but this site was made for developers and people that wanted to have an input on development.
If you like this sort of thing, there are plenty of sites with 13 year old kids playing with phones. This is the sort of garbage that has made a decline in the site's validity for the last year or so.

wow that is crazy... not sure what I think of it so far, the keyboard thing is interesting and I'd love to play with it.
got to say the keyboard that I really like is skiftkey it monitors how you type and predicts your next word. I keep switching between swype that swiftkey.
Ahh, no thanks. It's always good to have options and competition, but I could never use that keyboard.
So far ShapeWriter seems fastest for me. I wish it had better prediction though.

not bad. I still like swype better =)
The phrase invisible keyboard sounds really cool until you take a second and realize how silly it actually is. Additionally what if I meant to write tao and it thinks I must surely have meant tap or rap or yap, or maybe I meant tso as in the general's chicken or tsp like the measure. As far as I can tell this new system is nothing more than unmitigated sillyness.

this looks like a good concept but i dont think id like it for real world use for same reasons as posted above. I still love swipe not sure id want to change

[Q] What do you think of the new market?

To me it just seems much more cluttered and slower.
The slower part really doesn't bother me as much as the cluttering.
Plus the "carousal" hangs too low allowing only a few apps to be seen at a time.
I expected better functionality not a "prettier" design.

The design really is awful. Some complaints:
1. Why isn't the full description shown? It's one of the most important things! And you only get maybe 12 words by default. Useless and annoying to be forced to hit "more" every single time.
2. The labels are just as annoying. Single words without a description would have been fine, we end up seeing more text about what a generic UI labels means instead of what the actual app you are looking at does.
3. Bring back the old tabs. Way too much information at one time. As you said it's cluttered.
4. Again like you said, the top carousel occupies up to 1/2 of the screen. Why?
That said, the new Market looks A LOT better in landscape. Still has a lot of the same problems but at least the huge space that the carousel takes up is a little more forgiving in that orientation.

So, others think the new market is flawed but their opinions are "stupid and crappy" and if they don't like the new market, they should "code one themselves" and "stop whining"?
However, you like the new market just fine and, of course, your opinion is not "stupid and crappy" at all.
Got it.
There are both good and bad on the new market. It seems like they rushed it out instead of trying it for a while to see if they even like it. I agree that not being able to see the whole description without hitting the more button is bad. The more button should be used to view the other less useful stuff at the bottom of the page like the developers email and similar products and not the product description that you are trying to view. I do like the new look, but do agree the carousel hangs too low and does not allow for more apps to be viewed on the screen. I do like the looks of the new market, but they could have done some things differently to make it a better user experience. I know that this is what it is and I will deal with it, but I do have the right to complain about the things I don't like. I will deal with because I have to, but I feel that a lot of folks are going to complain and that another update fixing some of these issues is imminent.

I already dumped it myself. To much going on. Half the screen is gone by the carousel. It will prolly grow on us once we are all forced to have it.

Change is good? There's good change and then there's bad change. I usually love any change - I don't love this.
Dear Google,
As much as I like change, this new market design is simply atrocious. Nobody is going to use the scrolling view on top, and it takes 2/3 of the screen. You tried to fit a square in a circle, and did so poorly. It reminds me of a xbox marketplace; just a bunch of graphic throw up. Now, I like having everything on one page, but why minimize the description? The most important part of buying and or upgrading is the description.
On top of that, the placement and order of the pages feel like a maze to me. There is no indication how far back you can go in the application without being sent to your home screen.
While I am sure this app will serve its purpose, I really do expect more from Google come next market update.
From,
A concerned Android enthusiast
How do i get it? i still have the old one...
If you really want to try out the new market it's right here:

iPhone Keyboard

Apples phone may be NOTICEABLY smaller, but I type faster with the onscreen keyboard on the iphone than I do the epic lol.
I've always liked apples keyboard but I didn't think it'd be easier to type on than a 4inch screen.
Its so accurate
And I like how when you put it in landscape, it doesn't take up the whole screen so you can still read with the keyboard open
And text selection is sooooo much easier on the iPhone.
Android needs to take some notes in this area and all will be perfectooooooo

I do not agree that the iPhone keyboard is better. I just think it is kinda weird to expect a phone with a hardware keyboard in lanscape also needs to have an on-screen keyboard. It is the same thing just type on the damn keyboard. That is what you bought a phone with a keyboard in landscape.

It does help, but it still happens.
same as above: not a real problem if i slow down just a tad. i want to say that the issue is worse on the DK28 roms than on DI18, but that might not be true at all. maybe for me tho...
p.s. i didn't vote in the poll because neither choice is accurate for me.... for me it would be somewhere in the middle of those two choices.
I havent noticed it...does it depend on the soft keyboard used? I use the Droid X Multitouch and dont notice sht.
Hey, you know what would be really weird? Is if it depended on whether or not the soft keyboard supported multitouch.
I'm gonna lean towards a software issue. I've uninstalled swype and its seemed to work.
I only skip keys now when I'm in one of those phases where I can type oddly fast

Looks like people get varying results even when removing Swype. My question is, why do we need to remove one feature to make another work like it's suppose to? Has it gotten so bad that we must compromise one feature for another on such an "Epic" device?
I'm sure most will just say deal with it. But man I hate paying so much for a device and it doesn't even work right. The main selling point for me was the keyboard. I'm old school and just can't get used to the frustration of swype or SIP keyboards. But it is nice to have swype available when you type 3 or 4 words at a time. Often times I can't have my cake and eat it too but this is a phone for geezus pete. Can't I have the best of both worlds!?

Skips on all roms and keyboards
Sent from my Epic P.O.S.
Skips for me as well, funny just the other day i went into sprint and looked at the demo and I could not get it to skip if i tried. Mine was terrible as it skipped like crazy, I am on DK28 and think it is worse.

Maybe they actually LISTENED to the users?
Nah..I doubt it.

Lol. If they release a 2.2 rom that has a kb that doesn't skip, all will be forgiven.
