[Guide] How to Search Effectively!

First, click the Search button. (But don't put your search terms in there!) Instead, click "Or use the built-in forum search".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, click in the bottom right box and type 'nex' on your keyboard. This will restrict the search to the Nexus One forums. Click a specific forum if you want to search only a specific one.
Then click Show Results as -> Posts.
Enter your search keywords (root, desire, apps, etc), and select "Search Entire Posts" from the dropdown.
Finally, click Search!

As much as forum regulars anywhere like to highlight the search-function it still works horribly. Utterly useless. Everywhere, including here.
Instead what I suggest people do first is google (keyword 'g' in my browser) :
g site:forum.xdadevelopers.com guide how to search
Bonus: you get to refine your search with a new one immediately, no need to wait 5-10-30 seconds or however long the forum requires newcomers to wait.
Bonus: familiar search interface, with well known syntax

Great!

[Q] Editing the "Me" contact card...

Whenever I look at a text message conversation it puts "Me" as blank picture: (see first picture).
But whenever I try to edit "Me" from the "People" application, the device just hangs and won't let me edit anything. Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know where to fix it? Thanks!

From what I remember reading a while back, you will need to make sure that your sim card has your number set in to it... From what I remember reading, you can do this using an iphone or a blackberry... The cyanogenmod rom used to do this from what I recall... But can't say 100%...
Unless someone can correct me, as I only used android for a few weeks

I'd like to piggyback off this question and ask if theres a way to make one of our contacts "Me" or just overwrite it.

On Windows Mobile there was an option to copy any contact into the "Me" contact but I can't find that option, should there be one on Android!

The "Me" thing is an HTC thing, not an ANDROID thing. In Vanilla Android there is nothing like this in the People area, you just have a contact card of yourself. I can edit my "Me" information fine. If you go on Google.com and edit your contacts with your name, it seems to change it as you login to facebook and stuff and it auto associates you with yourself, ie my Facebook is Josh ______, my twitter is GlitchZero, it auto links these things to "Me" or "Josh ______" in my Google contacts.

Ah thank you for that information. I did a hard reset & made sure "Me" was not associated with any Facebook or Google account & it works perfectly, thanks!

[Q] My brand new Desire Z is acting wierd

Hey there XDA
I have now been trying to get my brand new Desire Z to work proberly the whole afternoon but some problems remains which is why i now come to you for help. I've listed them in a list below.. Hope you can help me out here
My HTCSense.com account seems to be missing a lot of functionality.. Phonefinder didnt work, so i had to recover/reinstall something called "Locations" before it got to work. I had allready enabled this "Phonefinder" but HTCSense.com told me that it was disabled. However i still seem to be missing a lot of stuff at my htcsense.com account. See this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is like there should be some menu at the top or at the side which iam not getting. I have tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox, which gives the same results.
When i turned the phone on for the first time it showed me some suggestions to friends that i could add from HTCsense.com. When i wanted to select them they dissapeared and didnt show up again. How can i see this list again?
They have however later showed up and i managed to send a request to one of the suggestions but when i try to the other one (it gives me two suggestions) it says that it was not possible to request at the moment.
Everytime i turn on the phone or reboot it, i get a Nortification that my "SIM card has been changed", which is not the case..
Allmost everytime i try to access HTC likes and HTC Hub i get a message that it couldnt connect to the HTC Sense server.
Sometimes when i write speciel characters like ÆØÅ it writes them in uppercase no matter what i do.
I hope that you can help a newbie with some of these problems.. Its been a long time since i've used an Android phone
Thanks in advance!
~D

Regarding HTC sense we have the same experience with errors and functionality. About the sim problem maybe you could try doing a full wipe/reset?

Anyway to set up e-mail addresses that they would accept? I doubt they will accept anything from gmail or hotmail or the likes since they want official company e-mail addresses?

I will follow the topic, sounds interesting

I have no idea. We just need this software. We've got the hardware tricks worked out.

I'm not a developer but I've registered with my company's details; a sub-section of it is involved in manufacturing of electronics, so I'm hoping my request I'll be 'approved' on those grounds

[Q] define a word as Iphone??

I want to ask if is something like iphone's ability to define a selected word in android for nexus 4?

Sorry, but what kind of a question is this? You mean word prediction?

No I m talking about the ability which iPhone has to define a selected word in terms of its meaning ...
When you select a word using an iPhone you have the ability to define this word ...
I hope to be understood now...

If you mean adding a word/phrase to your personal dictionary (for auto-correct, etc):
Settings > Language & input > Personal Dictionary > "+" (add)
Edit: Seems you're looking for the actual definition of a word, posts below mine have answered that already.

Just type or say Define "word" in the Google search bar
