Guest Frankish Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Why do we still have them put on our phones...does anyone actually use theirs?! If i want to search my browser homepage is set to Google... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 On cm7 there is search softkey for statusbar but never in my time with cm7 did I enable it,seems a bit pointless when you either have search bar widget or one click of browser opens google ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rusty! Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Use mine all the time. It's not just for Google, but for in app search too. I'd hate to have a phone without it (native ICS, I'm looking at you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 What apps do you need to search inside of? I'm thinking maybe music apps? I've had a few android phones with it but not ever used it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I know people who still do this, to get to a website, on Desktop PCs: Open browser >> Enter name of site into Google >> click applicable site, to get to it Amusing as anything ^_^ I never used Google toolbars...

Guest Maver1ck1979 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 You can use it to perform basic functions aswell, I sent a text to my sister with the voice search was pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GlenH Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I use mine for searching and also for switching wifi on and off (via a wifi toggle assigned to long press on the search button). I really missed it on my SGS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iam_smithers Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have never ever used it except for when I have accidentally pressed it once or twice. Never really seen the point in it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rem1x Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 If you started off with the Search button you find your self using it all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iam_smithers Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I guess. The only android I previously had with a search button was my HTC Wildfire, but I never used it on that either. To me it's totally superfluous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rusty! Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Use mine all the time. It's not just for Google, but for in app search too. I'd hate to have a phone without it (native ICS, I'm looking at you). So I've had a One X for a little while, and it turns out I don't miss the search button as much as I expected.
