S-Finder Web Search default country - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this question 'cause I'm sure most of you don't use it.
When I use S-Finder to do a 'Google Web Search", it brings up a google search with the google.ae domain. Is there any way to change this google.ae domain to google.ca or even google.com?
And just for clarity, I have the dual sim N9200 model.
EDIT: The Google.ae domain and arabic text ONLY appears in the S-Finder Google Web Search.

Microsoft Live!

I need something to explain to me why everyone likes this program? I guess I dont understand it enough to know exactly what it is or why the facination. Isnt it simply a search engine and if so isnt google better? I suppose this is a lame question but for the last year or so I have been hearing people talk about live as if its the next best thing to sliced bread. So whats the scoop?
Do you mean Live Search, the alternative to Google. Or do you mean Windows Live, found at get.live.com, the family of Web Services that microsoft has/is developing of which Live Search is one such service.
Web Search and GPS Mapping
Breaking it down a little more, you probably mean Live Search Mobile which is a mobile app that inlcludes a today screen search box (to search Live Search) and a GPS Map Service. I believe this can be found at m.live.com from your phones browser. This is great if you don't have TomTom or other Sat Nav software. Its free!
Contacts, Email and IM
Then there is the killer app the Windows Live mobil app which synchronises your contacts and Windows Live Hotmail with your Kaiser, and adds Windows Live Messenger to it. For a Hotmail and WLMessenger user this is simply perfect. Download from this thread "Collection of the Latest Cabs for kaisers [updated 19.11.07] ".
Yeah.
I like some of W Live on my phone. But it doesn't integrate w/ pocket Outlook the way Google does: <MENU>, "Locate in Google Maps"
And, I think that having to pick a location via <State>, <City> is a little arduous. I like just typing "Italian" and "Providence" in Google when I want to eat meatballs and pasta.
But WinLive has the great Movies tab....
It does too. just not as cleanly as google maps. if you go to location settings or directions, it allows choose from contacts. you just can't do it from the contacts screen.
Correct Live Search does allow you to find addresses from you contacts. Also I find that when I enter an address Google Mags is usually off by several houses (mine: one house, a client: 3 houses), where Live Search is usually spot on. Google Maps is better with traffic as Live Search dosen't show my area.
Windows Live Clarification
So just to try and clear up the branding mess that is Windows Live.
Windows Live Mobile Portal
Access WL features via PIE or other mobile web browser. Includes link to mobile web version of Hotmail, Messenger, Spaces, MSN, Search and more.
http://mobile.live.com
Windows Live Mobile Search (Google Search competitor)
As stated above. Simply the mobile web version of the Live.com search engine.
http://m.live.com
Windows Live
Application for Windows Mobile that allows for Hotmail/Live Mail Contact and Email syncing. Includes a Live Messenger chat client and two Today plugins (one which launches Windows Live Mobile Search in PIE)
You can download various builds of the app from this thread.
Live Search
A great Mapping and Local search program for Windows Mobile and Blackberry (Competes with Google Maps program)
Download it from http://wls.live.com
Hope that helps anyone confused with the insane naming scheme MS came up with.
I'll add that Live search with the Kaiser's GPS is very good, center on your location find a location and then it will draw a route on-screen and give turn-by-turn directions on a moving hybrid satellite map with chimes at turn points with text instructions. It doesn't have "heading up" but it's very impressive. I believe Google maps will do something similar, I keep both on-board.
Is there a way to get live search on the today screen? I have installed it but does not show up in the options to display.

Opera Mini - Changing Hard Coded Yahoo to Google?

Greets,
A review of the opera mini web site shows that they cut some deal with Yahoo, which is why the built in default search engine is Yahoo.
Does anyone know how to change this to google?
Thanks
Good question.
I added Google to my Mini, but the default is always Yahoo.
Anyone?
Does anyone know if this is possible? & if so, how?
This is a common q; currently, it's not known how you can change it to Google.

Facebook API Guru needed...

I am working very hard on a new type of service that ties in to facebook and mobile apps.
I have it working at about 90% with an Android game app, but it appears that there are some issues that I can't seem to get answered. Is there anyone here that knows the facebook API very well that might be able to answer some questions for me regarding conecting my facebook App, with my web framework, and my mobile apps? WinMo guys will be helpful too as we are planning on making this service crossplatform to all phones except the crapples.
Thanks!!!
no love? or nobody here familiar with facebook?
Recently I answered a question on MSDN winmo forums c/p;
I'm not using FaceBook (FB), but a good friend is. She asked me to look into it as she too is having issues with FB obtained from Microsoft Marketplace. I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact V cq HCT Diamond 2 cd Topaz cq Pure .
First I looked at the FB provided by Microsoft and tested it in a virtual embedded environment, as I did with all FB's tested. And I too had several 'issues' all different with several PPC based FB alternatives. Then I went to Facebook Developer site(!) and did some reading, then I found out that any FaceBook application needs API Key , Application Secret , and Application ID .
Official (Technical ) Facebook developers .com : http://developers.facebook.com/get_started.php
:: Copy/Pasted from : Drupal site builder's toolkit http://drupal.org/node/625792
Setup the Facebook Application - Part 1, on Facebook.com
The following steps assume you have a Facebook account.
• Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php .
• If asked to login, use your Facebook login. If you haven’t created an application before, you will be asked to grant Facebook Application access to your Facebook account. You have to allow this in order for this process to work.
• Facebook will ask you for the Application Name that you want to use. This is a short human-readable name. It will be viewable to those who are allowed to visit your Facebook account so make it simple and clear.
• Agree to the terms and click Save Changes. Note: The next page that appears will contain three pieces of information that you will need for your Drupal FB Application: API Key, Application Secret, and Application ID. You will copy and paste this information into the applicable fields when creating your Drupal FB Application.
Canvas Page-specific Setup
Not necessary for Facebook Connect-only applications.
• Click on canvas in the left menu of your Facebook application screen. At the top of the screen that appears next, fill in the URL field. Keep the URL simple and descriptive. Formatting restrictions are provided on the screen. Please read them.
:END
My facebook http://www.google.com searches ;
(copy/paste from left to right (not up down) in your preferred search engine (remember that search engines interpret commands in CAPITALS))
facebook AND configure AND "give the application access"
facebook AND configure AND "application access"
"this key identifies your application to facebook"
"you pass it with all your api calls" AND facebook
"configure access control policies" AND facebook
"third-party Integration modules" AND facebook
:END
Currently my friend is using some beta version from another developer and still has some issues, found in the first google search string. Though for her they are only minor issues for which she wants to use her laptop anyway.
I hope these links help you. I'm gonna move to a next subject now
Senax
Also a heads up Facebook just changed there API not to long ago as well should be a lot better.

[Q] Searching Exchange GAL

Does anyone know if Samsung plans to add in GAL searching options for contacts? I know you can search the GAL in an e-mail message, but not being able to search the corporate directory for phone numbers is a drag. I've checked out Swift Contacts but really feel this is a basic business function and should be built in.
I use touchdown because I could not wait on something from Samsung....their exchange implementation is fail at best

I agree - it should be included, but no one knows what will be added.

Google voice in countries other than America

Hello everyone.
Is there any way by which I can use Google voice in country other than US.?
or can anyone please make a new Google account in usa and activate Google voice in that account, and then give me that account.
I might run voice. I just need an Google voice activated account.
Please help me
I guess you have to have a number from USA, just purchase the one available online or else google it.. You need a number for activation and that's it. Just for verification ..
When I open application it says your email id is not activated for Google voice.
So I want an mail id with activated voice, but it is only possible if you are in usa
Are you using Google voice in india?
I am, but i used a number from USA just for confirmation and that's it ... Find any relative in US for just one time activation..
Use Tor browser if it helps.. and install Google Voice from Play Market via TOR..
