Is there an option somewhere in the search app to turn off SafeSearch? I'm not talking about using web search on chrome since there is a setting there.
any answer to this??? My image results are still safesearch.
on my Nexus 7
"hardcore a*** sex" (this is juss an example. I don't go searching this everyday)
first image will be of brittany spears, not of "hardcore a*** sex".
if I search this on my computer, first image is of course what I searched for.
edit: this came about because my wife watches teen mom(horrible show btw) and one of the idiots on there had naked pictures posted the other day. so my wife could pull up stuff on her iphone, but I couldn't pull up images on my Gnex or N7. so of course I tried to search other things.

Its by far my favorite and most used app/widget.
But theres 2 things bothering me , not sure if im understanding why its happening.
1.I open an article . "Javascript is turned off please check safari settings and turn back on" with a giant overlay blocking much of the article.
2. The most recent news articles not being cached. I rely on it being cached to read on the subway. But many articles never seem to load up.
I have refresh settings at every 3 hours. Do I have too many news items trying to load ? Not enough disk space ?
Also is there a browser setting to change that first error ?
Nothing I seem to do makes any difference on these.
Anyone have any insight ?
My biggest annoyance: there's no direct way to open an article from the News widget onto the default browser. For example if there's flash on the page and I want to use the Desire browser... There's no way to launch the page directly.
As far as something that might help you, try out NewsRob. By far one of the most AMAZING apps ever. Definitely my favorite app bar none. It downloads all items in your Google Reader for offline reading.
This is incredible for me because I work in an area with no cell reception (too many floors above me) and no wifi. For you in a subway, it might be awesome too. (Especially since anything in the News Widget can be put into Google Reader.) Check it out: NewsRob on the Market.

Unfortunately, I've never actually used the caching feature of the News Widget. NewsRob is just that good
Confused by NewsRob or by Google Reader?
Been using HD2 for a month already. Haven't actually used any smartphones before, my overall impression is pretty good and I haven't run into many severe problems. The worst incidence was the handset wouldn't boot and kept vibrating all the time. I got a replacement, fortunately, although I never knew what happened.
Enough of irrelevant stuff. I would like to ask a few questions and see if anyone may shed any light on that. I use the stock ROM as shipped.
While browsing with Opera (the builtin one) or Skyfire, double tap will activate the pinch-to-zoom. Therefore, when browsing "conventional" non-mobile oriented sites like Google Maps (yes I know there is one builtin but there are other sites which may require double click but not available as a WM application) you are unable to emulate a mouse double click, but got zooming activated. So, is there any way to workaround this?
Similar question: Some non-mobile oriented sites use frame or iframe in layout, and with desktop browsers you may drag on the divider to resize the frame. By trial and error I managed to do so on HD2 (Opera?) a few times in the past but most of the time it would simply not work. Anyone with similar experience?
Last one - anyone has tried Google Maps 4 on HD2? Is it worth the risk to upgrade (still using the stock version that I believe is 3.x)? I found the street view images is somewhat blurred when compared with those I saw from behind the shoulder of some friend of mine who was accessing a similar area using an iphone. Or is that an illusion only?
I searched here and did not find anything directly useful. My apologies if I missed something here amidst the sea of threads here.
When/Why would you ever need to double click on a webpage?
As I cited, Google Maps is already one. I know of other mapping sites that rely on similar means to zoom in. Some of these sites do not have the +/- buttons for zoom so you must stick with double click on desktop PC.

just use the latest google maps for windows mobile..

its 4.xx or whatever, and you can just install it over the other one.
it won't cause any problems or anything like that.
Hey guys,my GS2 finally arrived today!
So,starting from good things.I absolutely love the screen,speed and smoothness.Nothing brings the phone to its knees,not even downloading 30 apps at the same time from market!
I won't go on with the good stuff of the phone,you all already know it's awesome(probably).
I also have some issues though.What I saw first was that my phone came with KE2 on it.I thought ok,I'll update it.I go to Settings->Phone info(Or whatever it is,mine is in greek)->Software Updates and I run a check.It says I have the latest firmware installed.I then try on my PC with Kies and it's the same.What is wrong here?Does anyone know?
Second thing is that it charges really really slow.It's partially normal that it takes longer than my Desire HD to charge 'cause the battery is like 25% bigger,but that much longer?Good thing is it also discharges slower!
Third.That's a pain.Isn't there a USB Disk mode?Cause the only way I can transfer files between my phone and PC is via Kies(I don't like it,reminds me of iTunes).And what's worse,I cannot transfer from my PS3.
Fourth.Some market apps can't install.Mostly games(Only one wasn't a game),for example Angry Birds with the exception of Angry Birds Rio.Is it normal for the SGS2?Cause I saw Chainfire3D has an option to repair something with apps not installing from market.
If I find a fifth or more I'll post again!
Now to questions.
1)How the hell do I put my phone in download mode?I haven't managed to find that anywhere.
2)Can I enter bootloader and fastboot normally by holding volume down key like on HTC devices or is it trickier here?
3)Rooting is just as easy as clicking a button in Odin?With no possible side effects?I can' accept it's that easy!
4)Until I root,does Chainfire3D take care of banding issues too?Cause banding pretty much ****ed up my Robotek experience(I got addicted to Robotek last week for Christ's sake! ).
5)Is making a Nandroid backup possible?If not,is there any way to back up the phone like with Nandroid?
That's for now...I think!Sorry for noobish questions but my whole Android experience was with HTC devices.The Galaxy S 2,as an experience altogether(meaning for software,hardware-wise it blows away everything) isn't worse nor is it better than the HTC devices I've owned.The abscense of Sense will take a long getting used to,but I'll live with it.Meanwhile I'll be loving the speed,the power,the smoothness,the awesome camera and everything else that makes the device great.You know what I mean,right?
Thanks in advance guys!
PS:You don't have to answer all questions simultaneously,answering one or two will make me a happier SGS2 user.If you insist to answer to everything though I won't get mad at you obviously!
you can find many of these questions answered in the QA threads.
charging is about 3-3.5 hours.
I use mine as USB drive by enabling "USB Debugging" mode in the settings, it then becomes a couple of hard drives.
this is all I can answer off the top of my head
In wireless and network it says usb utilities and you can enable usb mode in there.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Firstly thanks for the rapid replies guys!
Ok,I didn't know...Will also search the Q&A threads later,as suggested!
I found two more niggles I want to add to the questions.
1)Is there any way I can use the LED flash as a flashlight?Any apps from market?
2)Can't I change user agent in Samsung's browser?Can't seem to find an option...And I can't stand mobile versions of websites!
Thanks!
Unboxing right now.
So. Finally received my GS2 and in the process of unboxing. Reading these threads (spent 3 days in office doing nothing but ) have made me really anxious, but fingers crossed that everything'll be a-ok.
Gonna spend the next few days testing and putting the phone through it's paces. If you guys want me to test anything for you (or if there's anything specific I should check) let me know.

come on ,in one sentence you promise to review the FAQ threads, and in the next sentence you ask more questions that were FAQed multiple times before
your answers
1) a myriad apps can use LED as flashlight. try "Search Light" or "TeslaLED" for example
2) to change the UA just type about:useragent in the browser address box, or install a different browser

I just realised I'm an arse,eh?
Well,right now I am very busy with some friends(Playing Pro Evolution on my PS3,hooked to my 42 inch TV,noice! ),so I'll check later on.Sorry about it though,I don't use to ask noobishly anymore!
As for number 1 I knew there are apps that do so,but I don't know if they are compatible.Will check and see!
Thanks for the second,saved my day!
And one more...I hope this one isn't answered in the FAQ!
Why the hell doesn't it show me the current in CurrentWidget?It says "No data" instead of x mA.That is nasty!
look for Flash Light LED (AE) on the market, its free, and doesnt need root
First of all, let me say that I know there are alternatives to MyLibrary--I have several of them. But before I totally leave it behind, I want it to be for its shortcomings, not mine.
Secondly, I have MyLibrary behaving itself in terms of not crashing, and it's showing all my books on its one shelf. And I can create new shelves.
Which leads to the n00b question--how do I move books from the default unsorted shelf to a shelf I create? I've looked here and another forum, and in the full user manual--no joy. I'm sure it's something very easy, but I can't find it.

I found this to be completely un-intuitive and had to ask someone. I just had to look up that answer again to answer your question because I couldn't remember how it was done and couldn't figure it out (again!).
Click on the icon along the top that looks like a pencil, to put the app into edit mode. On the left side you'll see a new '+' icon that lets you create a new bookshelf. Also while in edit mode you can drag books to the shelves on the left to categorize them.
That worked! Thank you! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had to ask about this.
I was wondering if GingerBread addressed the Universal Search issue. I've heard that the Atrix is anything but Universal when searching your device. My BlackBerry does a good job of searching through...
Contacts, Calendar, Email, Google Search, Text Messages, Bookmarks, Browser History, MemoPad, Pictures, Videos, Music and the list goes on.
...the only thing I wish my BlackBerry included is Files & Folders on device and SD Card.
You know...a TRUE Universal Search.
Makes me think I need to create an app for that! Windows 7 got the right idea of being able to type a few letters in the start menu to find programs/docs to open, etc. instead of trying to remember which windows to open to find what you want.
That little Search Icon in the lower right corner of the Atrix can be SOOOO much more powerful and SHOULD be! I was hoping the xda devs. hacked this a long time ago. Or was my search on the forum not thorough enough...lol sorry.
