Power off - "are you sure?" - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when you choose the power off option, i hate the "this will power off your phone" message. just like windows' "are you sure?" messages. is there a way to disable them?

In CM 7.0.2 yes. On stock not really.

get rided of "Power will be turned off..." message

hi there,
i get bored of message "Power will be turned off..." that pop-up often on my polaris.
from what can this message come from ?
i use S2U2 can this be the cause ?
This message should only pop-up when you longpress the power button on the top of the device
it seems to appear randomly, whatever i am doing, or when device is in standby.
i will do a rom change this week, perhaps a new romms + tested app could resolve this pb.
maybe your power button is "stuck"...
sorry my english

Question about new ROM

So far the new ROM is ok. I like being able to remap my PTT. My question is about while typing either e-mail, text, or whatever the word is highlighted but for what. when i try to add a name to whoever i'm sending the message to unlike the old ROM it just highlights what i type it doesn't begin suggesting names. how do i disable this function. thanks
What is this feature? Mine does it too but it appears to be random. Any thoughts?
Try disabling "Enable Auto Correct" in your input settings
When typing the message, press the function key, then the right > key
at the right most lower corner of the keyboard (if it is a fuze). The pop up
will display, it is probably on T9, select abc, and that should stop it, if that is the problem you are having.

Tip - Captivate Search key

When in the browser, you can use the quick search key in 2 ways:
1. Tap it once and it becomes a URL search - doing autocomplete via google for the uRL you want
2. Tap it a second time and it becomes the Quick Search Box that searches your local stuff and google
The only odd behavior is going from the URL search to the Quick Search the keyboard stays on the URL keyboard so you have to hit the 123 key to get your space bar.

.... and, if you HOLD the search button, you can do voice recognition for searching and some other functions -- i.e., "call jane doe" or "email john smith", things like that. Quite cool! Not sure of all the possibilities there yet.

That doesn't work for me. Do I need to install something to enable it to accept commands? Like Voice Commander? In fact, the only thing the search button will search is the web.... whether I type it or speak it. I've enabled the search phone settings in settings/search menu. Something's screwy with my phone.

When you hold the search button down, the little "Speak Now" pop-up doesn't even appear? Or, is it there but nothing seems to work?
UPDATE: Also, it seems that only "call ..." works, I can't get "email" or "text" to work -- but then again, since you really need the keyboard for those functions, maybe that's why?

It pops up, but the only search results are from the web. It doesn't look for anything on my phone, and it never accepts commands like "call Bob."

I could not get "call (name)" to work. I tried adding the name to my Gmail contacts, but it still doesn't work. Like dc41, it dumps me to Google's web search. Any tips for this?
I also found out that you can say "dial (1-800-xxx-xxxx)" in Android, but I couldn't get that to work either.
"navigate to (place)" and "map of (place)" works for me though.
CALL (NAME)
Okay, I think I understand now...
For "call (name)" to work, you'll need to login to your Gmail account via your computer's browser, click Contacts, then Add.
If it's already in "All Contacts," but not "My Contacts," you'll need to use the "Move To My Contacts" button. I think this was my problem - anything I added in Android's phonebook didn't get moved into My Contacts in Gmail.com.
Some things are not shown in Android's browser when viewing Gmail, so do use your computer.
That's basically it.

Voice Actions

Is there a way to activate Voice actions via a prompt? Have it always listening for a spoken phrase before opening Voice Actions?
Prompt
you can activate the desired prompt mode by saying "standby" or "go to sleep" ( after launching the application once, of course) ;]

[Q] How to mod softkey like Cyanogen

Now, I know I can program it to do something with a TAP, but how about something like holding it down to do something. Cyanogenmod has the "hold down back to kill process". Anything like that?
