Ok I hope the title says it all but just to clarify I'm trying to see if it's possible to either disable or modify the "did you mean..." help tip of the Voice Search after a recognized voice search. Meaning once I long-press the search button to activate Voice Search, (eg. I search for a picture of the Eiffel Tower) I get the results. But when I close the browser the "help tip" or rather "did you mean..." is still displayed on my home screen, so then I have to hit cancel. It's a great feature when it doesn't recognize what I said, just don't like to press cancel every time.
It's the little things that get annoying
Mine doesn't do that (just tested) if it recognises the term, it goes straight to the Google search page with the results, and when I close it, I'm just back to the home screen.
If it doesn't recognise the term, I get the 'did you mean' box, which goes away when I tap on what I want.
I have noticed this occasionally. I do have the personalized recognition turned on. Its odd when it does it, I have to hit back a couple times after I was in something that I looked up and there it will be buried under a couple other programs or windows i had opened.
Seems like it does that when I say "listen to something something" it launches Pandora. Then when I close it that I see that help tip there. Yeah I guess it doesn't give you suggestions when you do a simple search or something.
Thanks for the replies

I have had a search around using the Google search and not been able to uncover anything, the forum search does not appear to be working very well for me either.
What I am keen to find out is if there is a Soft/hard button shortcut to picking up a call and having it go onto speakerphone instantly.
When driving or otherwise occupied for example and the phone is Locked/Password protected it is impossible to get to the Speaker On button on the Phone Interface without divering alot of attention or actually having to slide the keyboard and type the password in.
Perhaps I am missing an obvious thing from documentation but if anyone could point me in the right direction or perhaps some software/reg tweaks which can achieve this it would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

When on a call press and hold Send (Green button), if this opens an application or doesnt work try deleting \Windows\Long_Send.lnk

Awesome thanks, hoping it was something simple
I don't know if this is a general WM question, as I've never had a WM phone before.
From the Home screen I choose 'Messages' then click 'All Messages' - which gives me a standard looking screen with an Inbox of all the people I've sent/received texts from.
If I choose a person, then I get the whole conversation with the person.
How do I delete a part of the conversation without deleting it all.
I've found that if I click on the persons name I get their contact info - if I press 'OK' at this then their message is highlighted. I can then choose 'Menu' then 'delete' which clears that ONE message. Surely there must be an easier way?
Also... I'm currently using the HTC Full Querty keyboard as my chosen input method. I have the T9 on and it works great MOST of the time!!
My only problem is that if I type a word sometimes it will give me another word that I dont want. How do I say no to this choice?!
Eg... I was typing a message to a friend in which I said 'did you get your ass up on the dancefloor'. When I typed 'ass' it imediately pops up with 'assets' and 'association'. If I press Space it choses assets for me. Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass' without having to take its suggestion? I don't want to turn the T9 off as I find it really good for putting in apostrophes etc - and apart from this problem it works great.

"Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass'"
Man i tried my best to think of a witty comment to that - but i'm struggling!
Any how, I don't know either but what I do is press space to complete the word most like the one i want, then go back & edit it. After that, the word comes up automatically when typing the approriate letters.
SMAC
ha ha...
Its happened to me heaps of times, but ass wss the only example I could remember!
My iPhone had a great little X that appeared and let me ignore its suggestions. I wish there was something similar on the Diamond.

Cant answer your second part of the question but the bit about deleting one particular conversation??. Im sure today i was able to do it but now ive wiped my messages inbox so cant really check. But im sure if you highlight that part of the conversation u want deleted then go to menu and you should have delete available. Again im pretty sure thats how i did it...deleting them one by one.
Check it and see if it works...like i said im pretty sure thats how i did it...i could be wrong tho.
Use the circular navigation button (press "up") while in the conversation screen, and then you will be able to navigate between individual messages.
Yes I know, I had to hear this from someone else too. Not very intuitive... Annoying when a good delete option is lacking...
Hi Folks,
Firstly the standard disclaimer: "Apologies to all but I have searched existing threads (and RTFM) and can't find a definitive answer to this noob-type question"
So here's why I'm feeling stupid. I can't seem to find an option to stop the weather updating except when connected to a PC, short of going into settings and manually ticking the upper box whenever I plug in the USB and unticking afterwards!
Data costs a lot on my tarriff but I lik ethe weather, even if it only updates via AS.
Grateful for any advcie as always folks.
Adam.
Same problem here, it's one of the main reasons why I don't use Touchflo. Everytime I just click on the weather page an error dialog appears (can't connect... blabla). Very annoying!
it is not only a noob question, but the answer is so easy that you should be ashamed of yourself and spent some time just looking at your phone.
ever heard of a thing called menu?
it is on the lower right in the weather tab. press it, a menu comes up, choose settings and you are done.
or...... go to the store an get a nokia.
Yea so I know that from the "All Messages" screen you can type and search for words that are in really recent text messages; but lets say for example, my friend Alex texted me the Course Number of a class two months ago; its really annoying to keep having to press "Older Messages" over and over to get to that message. So here are my questions:
1. Are there any programs that either
a. Allow you to search the the ENTIRE history of conversations with a contact
b. Show more than [5? I think is the current amount] back&forths per page
c. Yea A & B is all I can think of for now lol
but please...assist.
Hi,
who said that in all messeges screen if we do search then it will search only from the recent messeges. No thats not the case it looks the entire messages. After typing the search word that you are looking for in all mesages screen wait for sometime to let screen populates the search results
My phone surely doesn't. at first i couldnt search correctly becase of the TouchPal keyboard (which I absoutely love love love - shameless plug) but I switched to the other regular keyboards just to search and it certainly does not search through every message ever. It only searches recent and subject titles. Are we both talkin about the touch diamond? (I do have the verizon version if that has anything to do with it)
Is there anyways to improve it? Too many times what im searching for on the phone doesnt come up, even when its the only thing on the phone with those search terms! How does search on the phone work? Is there an app that can improve the way search works?
if you press 'go' (the arrow button) it searches the web, otherwise it searches your phone.
Go to your Settings select Search. In Searchable Items, select everything you want your phone to search through, Apps, Music, Contacts, etc. This should open up the search function to the rest of your phone.
Hope this helps.
Its not that it wont search, its that the seartch results are bad. For instance, when in the music player, ill search for a song called 'reset'. All the search results that it pulls up dont have the word 'reset' in the filename, song title, artist etc. I can put in VERY specific terms and it will either not bring anything up or bring up results that have nothing to do with the terms.
Are you holding it in your left hand?
I don't know all of the appropriate inernet lingo (LOLROFMLFYMBITCH or whatever), but this makes me laugh:
