Does market search exist?
I searched all around, but this feature must be missing. To me, this is a big deal.

Click the search button when you're in the Marketplace..... lol
yes when you are in Zune software (on PC) there is a search box at top right hand corner.
When in the Market Place through the phone there does not appear to be a search feature.

Open the Marketplace on your phone, and hit the dedicated Search button.
The Search button is context sensitive. So if you hit it in certain situations, it will bring up search options specific to what you are doing on your phone.
If you are in the People hub = it will search through people
If you are in Outlook = it will search through your e-mail
If you are in the Marketplace = it will search through all Marketplace items
yep... that works !

I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find
However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.
I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck
being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.
Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:

Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

Thanks for the handy link Mike. I'll put it to good use!
First, I am new here and I really appreciate the work that has been done to get the this wealth of information online.
I really try to search and search for information before I ask because I know that asking a redundant question can get me soaked in gasoline and set on fire.
There must be some special skill or knowledge of searching that I do not have...and want to have.
Case in point: I want to know how to tell if my GPS in turned on and if so, how to manually turn it off. I tried searching for "turn GPS off"=no results, "Gps off"=no results. Then I searched for simply "GPS"=no results. Now I know that there are hundreds of posts here with the term GPS in them, Why does the search not find them??
A little frustrated here...
Any help on how to effectively use the search on this site would be greatly appreciated....Thank you!
I don't think there's any (easy) way to tell - GPStest or the HTC GPS Tool may help - but.....
Your GPS is only on if you're running a program that actively makes use of it - e.g. Tomtom, iGO, CoPilot etc....they will activate GPS when you start them and disable it when you close them.
EDIT: The search works just fine - in the "topmost brown coloured menu", it says "Search" - I just entered "GPS" in the box and hit search and got pages of hits......sure you didn't click "Search this thread" ???
HTH,
Mark.

Thanks for the Gps info but my REAL question was about how to use the search tool.
I used "Search this FORUM" to search the "Kaiser>Kaiser grneral" forum only. Using the "Search" button above does a Google search in the entire xda-developers forum yielding hundreds of results on ALL devices, not just Kaiser.
Still need to know how to search the Kaiser-general forum only and get results.
I always go to google.com and type something along this lines " xda kaiser gps" ( or whatever youre looking for ) Seems to work most times for me

Right at the top when you click on the Search button under the box where you type your search string it says "or use the built in forum search"click on that and it;ll give you options to search in specific forums of your choice
I went to the Kaiser>kaiser-General forum, selected Search from the top brown strip, clicked "use the built-in forum search", entered GPS, selected search entire post, from the "search in forum(s)" box i select Kaiser>Kaiser general, click search and I get "Sorry no matches". Try it for yourself and tell me what I am doing wrong.

You're not doing anything wrong. I just tried searching 'this forum' for "GPS" and also got no results. Then I tried a few other common 3-letter acronyms, e.g. "HTC", "CAB" and "DOS", all of which clearly appear in the titles of recent posts. In all cases no results were returned.
So it looks like a deficiency in the search functionality of the forum software. I then googled this and found that it's a common complaint.
The recommended solution is to add a wildcard character to the search string - e.g. "GPS*".
The built-in site search is terrible, and the site admins know it. That is why they added the ability to search XDA using the Google search engine.
Searching for "GPS" with the forum search will produce no results because the vBulletin search ignores words shorter than 4 characters. If you want to narrow down your results using Google, use add "Kaiser" to all of your searches.
Thanks, that is the exact information that I need to know.
Hi ho, Hi ho, it's off to search I go............

Dude... thank you so much. I love it.
does anyone know how to get the gps working in birds eye view? thanks
Nice......Thank you..
Ok I'm running a stock Fuze rom without the clutter, and I have not been able to use the Directions feature on the last 2 or 3 versions of Live Search. Anyone know of a fix or work around so that WLS will actually find an address that I search for?
Really wish I could get this program to work right, this version looks really nice.

How are you trying to type it in? Are you clicking on "New Ending Location"? After that, how are you typing the address in the location box?
EXCELLENT.. I've been waiting for this.
Yes, open WLS - click on directions, enter start and end locations. Result =
"Cannont find x location near x" x = everything I've tried.
The only way it will find anything is if I searched for directions to that location with a previous version of WLS. Another very strange thing, if I search for directions to my contacts from going WLS - Directions - to - contacts. It will not find any of my contacts. However if I exit WLS, go directly to contacts and click on the map location button. It opens WLS, and if I click - Map, it will find the location and then I can do searches based on this location. Which would be fine if I felt like having gas stations and wal mart in my contacts list. . .
Seriously no one else has this issue here? I searched other forums of people with similar problems, but none of those people have any answers as to how to fix this.
And ofcourse WLS is unresponsive, I'm on my 4th support e-mail with no replies.
Stock ROM? I've had ZERO issues with this version so far.
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me how I can out a short cut for a program i have on my memory card on to my start menu, I have searched but not getting anything back suprisingly
Cheers
Hi!
Well, I wonder how good you have searched, because one simple google site:xda restricted search gave the following results:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
I would recommend the Link Creator 1.4, it has a lot of good features.
Regards,
PK

1. Find said program in File Explorer. Hold down stylus on it then select Copy.
2. Go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Either hold down the stylus in a blank area of the file list or select Menu/Edit (you'll have to scroll the menu down), and select Paste Shortcut.
Job done.
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:
