[Q] can't search on the map? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi dear,
I'm using Samsung Omnia 7 and I've successfully updated my phone to 7.0.7392.0.
But when I tried to search some place in bing "MAP" application, it just goes the bing search screen. I don't when it's been launched like this.
Anybody can help me?
My phone use I8700XENJK1 CSC.

There is a search button in the app. Just tap it.

Yeah, I did. But it goes to Bing Search.

it's within in the app, not the search button on the phone itself...
cheers,
simon

I know exactly what the OP is talking about... pressing that little search button opens IE Bing (at least on my Maps... and OP's it seems).

have a look at the following registry key on your wp7-device:
[HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\xx-XX] (where xx-XX is your locale)
insert or set
RoutingSupported=dword:1
SearchSupport=dword:1
then it should be fixed!
confirmed the bing-search thing (within the maps application) by setting the value for RoutingSupported to 0 on my device --> hitting the search button opens bing search
changing it back to 1 gives me the ability to serch for destinations in the maps application...
cheers,
simon
p.s. your device has to be unlocked to use any registry editor - I used WP7 root tools by Heathcliff74 for changing the registry values...
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021135

does it work with the changed registry key?
cheers,
simon

I'm trying now Thank you so much mate!

But it still doesnt work....

in which area do you live and what input locales did you set?
the first time I had to change my phone to german (germany) instead of german (austria) to able to search within the maps...
with german (austria) I had the same issues as you have - but with the two registry keys set I'm able to search within bing maps...

Damm, I have asked about this 2 weeks ago

It worked with polish local settings. Tested on LG E900, used build in registry editor.
PS code for Polish is pl-pl.

Good to hear it worked out...
BTW: which values did you add?
RoutingSupported=dword:1
SearchSupport=dword:1
or did you add GeocodeSupported=dword:1 as well?

Only RoutingSupported and SearchSupport.
PS I have pre-nodo WP7 version.

I live in New Zealand and I set en-NZ input locales.
Still I can't search in bing map

Finally it works now on both devices, Samsung Omnia 7 and LG quantum
Thank you guys! It's so useful and easy!

what I have on my device:
regional settings are all to German (Austria)
HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\de-AT
GeocodeSupported : DWord=1
RoutingSupported : DWord=1
SearchSupported : DWord=1
HKLM\System\SearchMaps\Configuration
AutoSuggestTimeoutMS : DWord=600
AutoSuggestUnsupportedLocale : DWord=0
MapsHistoryDeleted : DWord=0
MapsLocationAccess : DWord=1
OnlineAutoSuggest : DWord=1
SearchLocationAccess : DWord=0
SearchLocationConsentPrompted : DWord=1
I had a look at HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\en-NZ as well:
without any changes there are
OnlineAutoSuggestions : DWord=1
SearchSupport : DWord=1
I just changed my regional settings to en-NZ on my device (with en-US as display language), opened bing maps and was able to search within the app (no fallback to bing search)... I was even able to navigate to a destination
What happens if you set your regional settings to en-AU?
Does it work then?
I hope you get your problem fixed...
cheers,
simon

But it seems it can't find any places in NZ.
It's weird.
I just set the one from your configuration. I'm gonna reboot it.

I had the same problem after setting
HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\de-AT
GeocodeSupported : DWord=1
When I delete this entry, search is fine again
I can reproduce this error, when setting the registry key GeocodeSupported : DWord=1 again
seems like some regions (like de-AT or en-NZ) do not support all features of bing maps (en-US has some more features)...
Try to delete the GeocodeSupported key and search should be ok again...
cheers,
simon

Yeah I deleted that key and it works so fine

Tomtom 5 with WM2005 backlight

Can some one please tell me, in simple English, how to stop the backlight going out when you start Tomtom with windows 2005. :? Thanks
Take a Hex-Editor with Unicode-Support
Load TomTom.exe and search for the Unicode-String 'Backlight'
Replace all matches with 'Bbcklight' and your Backlight stays on!
I cant find the backlight string??
Is it possiable to send me the TomTom.exe with the backlight already sorted out??
Well, its a unicode String. Try searching for "B a c k l i g h t" including the spaces. I can attach mine to this post. Its from die European Version 5.21 - Upgrade to 5.21 first or it won't work. I'm not sure about it working with American or Australian Maps, somewhere I heard the software is a little different in other continents.
Known Bugs of this Release:
-Skips Map Activation :twisted:
-The file '\My Documents\TomTom\CurrentMap.dat' is not created at first startup. Just copy the attached file to this location(Create the Directory if neccessary, of course)
I cant get it ??? I must be doing something wrong!
I think I will buy a torch :shock:

Hai,
It absolutely works.
When you search with your hex-editor for backlight, try to seach as "textstring" with AND wthout "unicode Latin" + with AND without "Case snsitive search".
Now you can find all the "backlight" strings. I have changed every B for a C and saved the file. Then copy the Navigator.exe back to your PDA and voila: Tomtom leaves the backlight as it is.

HTC Home Weather - Modify Cities List?

I have a Kaiser with preinstalled HTC Home Weather. I cannot modify the ciies list because the file HH_0410_Weather Cities.xml is in ROM. I modify the register key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - HTC - HTCHome - Weather - Settings> weatherDB writing a different location in the string value instead of "default". Naturally I wrote in the new location a modified copy of the file .xml. Unfortunatly the program continue to "see" the old list. I tried also to change manually in the reg file the value of the location, but also in this case the visualized list is the old. Can someone help me?
hanks in advance and regards.

Want to stop TomTom using Windows Button to start

After having installed the HTC cab for TomTom (just the app + one free city map) on my Orbit 2 I noticed that TomTom has hijacked the Windows button.
I've been through every option in the TomTom settings, but can't find a way to stop this.
Can anyone advise a simple way of making my windows button go back to its original purpose (brings up the start menu) - other than uninstalling TomTom (I can work that out for myself!)
Thanks,
Roy.
Try the Settings of WM6 !
Mine is german, so i can´t tell you exactly what to do.
I mean it has to be Menu-Setting-Keys
Key 1 is what is changed by TomTom.
Change this setting to whatever you like.

Yeah, in the English version its Start/Settings/Buttons, then change the one that says TomTom to <Start Menu>

Thank you to both of you.

Does that work with the Touch Cruise, too? I ask that, because the Touch Cruise has a GPS-Button instead of a Windows button.
PS: I don't own a Windows Mobile phone, but want to buy one in near future.
Yep, curiously the icons for the buttons are for mail and calendar, just like the first two buttons on most WM phones.

But I want one key to open the Windows Start Menu and one key as OK key. Can I assign them like that?
yes, you can assign any application and some functions without troubles.

Same problem in belgium i live in Antwerp but i got the weather from hackney somewhere in london. The problem is that even googlemaps buts me in that location as long as it has no fix with the build in GPS. But even then i don't get the right weather in that position
Me to, Also in belgium. I live near Leuven but my phone gives the weather of Elsene, that's near Brussels :S
possible fix
Hi,
Even i too faced this same issue...actually today i got a new SIM card and removed my old sim, updated the configuration (APN settings etc which the configuration wizard does)..
While i restarted the device with the orginial sim it should the correct location (chennai)
Earlier it showed some egyptian city (zohua?? or something like that) because i was in cairo last week using this mobile (purchased @ dubai int airport)
I love this mobile, trendy , slim and stylish with HTC custom built interface over 6.5 :-D
How to solve the problem
First, you have to go to
Settings > Location
Then you should be able to activate "Improve location service by collecting etc...." and the select "HTC Location Service"
NOTE: If you have "Improve location etc ... " inactive then you h ave to update the weather first from the "Weather" home tab.
The activate the GPS by starting a program that uses GPS. I've done that by starting IGO.
Then minimize the program and update the weather in home.
Worked for me
Good luck

For me has been very useful.
I use for 2 devices: 1 Italian ROM ed 1 WWE Rom and the fix work like a charm for both devices.
I think you have a romanian ROM. In this case do you have to use the fix for Romania. If you have a WWE ROM you must use the fix downloaded from Europe.

If you have the phone coded on Orange (as I do), my guess is that we have to wait for the HardSPL to pass the vendor ID issue.
If anyone knows better, please let us know because that weather problem is very annoying.
The same Problem!! Vendor ID
Have T-Mobile German Version and no one of the Fixes works!
my wife has also the touch2 bought from t-mobile germany. it is not branded, but apparently t-mobile has done *something* to have a different verndor ID. So the weather fix does not install.
but the owner info fix did install nicely and also works and makes the waking up more fluent.

Navigon 7.4.1: How to navigate to a certain contact?

Hello,
How to navigate to a certain contact in the address book? I have searched the web and didn't find anything. I have Navigon 7.4.1 on a HD2 with PocketInformant and Manila. If I choose Outlook Contacts there is only the address book coming up. No Option like "Navigate to" in the Menu. What can I do? How do you do it if you want to navigate to someone in the address book?
Metuschelach
Does anybody know a solution?
Where does your 7.4.1 come from - Fresh gives me still a "7.4.0 is the most recent version". I'm using the PDA-version.
Are you maybe using PNA version?

Tab on "My targets"
Tab on "Imported adresses"
Long tab on the Adress you want to navigate to

"navigate to" e.g. Private adress
that's it

Hi!
Maybe there are errors in the adress. Especially too much blanks in the city-field make the context-menue for this contact disapear. It took a long time for me to find this, because the blanks cannot be seen in Outlook.
Hope this helps
