Got my Sensation today and found that I couldn't complete a search or even directly enter a web address without first signing on with a Google Account. What's up with that?
I have android 2.2 on another device and the search and web browser don't require a Google Account. Must Google record everything I do from my phone's browser? Is this a T-Mobile issue, a HTC issue or an Andorid issue?
Or do I just need to install another web browser app?

can't download apps from the market without a google account... it is a google phone after all. just sign up for one with a fake name or something its free
Right. I already have 3 Google Accounts. This is my first Android phone, but not my first Android device. Of course I understand I must "sign-in" when using the Market. One account was used for the Market, another for my G-Mail and a third one was tied to Youtube. I never had to use any of them for the web browser. I just wondered what started that. The other device is a WiFi tablet (not a phone) so I wonder if this is a phone thing. Do all Android Phones work this way?

it doesn't ask you to sign in for the browser it asks if you want to save your search results to your gmail acct. it normally does this the first time you search for something on a new device. i don't think its a big deal so they aren't tracking you lol
I've seen posts about this issue around the internet and so far I haven't found a solid answer. Today, I decided to post this issue over on Microsoft Answers. If anyone else is having this issue, please post that you need help too and provide as much feedback as you can...

I've had an issue with Live Messenger and linking with my contacts in WP7. I currently have a Nokia Lumia 900, but I had issues with my last phone too, the HTC Surround.
I can be signed into Messenger just fine and I show online to people and they can contact me. The problem I'm having is that I can't initiate an IM to anyone on Messenger (only Facebook) because nobody ever shows online.
The other issue, which is related, is when someone sends me an IM through Messenger, I'll get the IM on my phone but it'll show their email address instead of the contact name, even if the contact is saved in my phone and their IM email is saved in the contact. If I click on the email address, it'll bring me to their contact card too.
I've deleted everyone out of Messenger on the PC, I've hard reset my phone a few times and still the same issue.

I had a similar issue. Everybody seemed offline from the phone. I realised that on my windows live account, some of the contacts had limited access (I never limited them, for some reason they got this flag). After removing the limited access for those contacts, they appeared online on the phone.
Hope this helps!

I ran across your thread a few days ago while researching this issue, so that's one of the things I checked and unfortunately for me, nobody had limited access.
I went to your thread and it seems the problem is because you aren't using a native hotmail/live account.
Hello
I am having trouble with the google search widget on my ATT skyrocket running ICS 4.0.4. Earlier, when I entered keywords, it would search for web results, local apps and contacts. Now, all of a sudden, it would only bring back web results but no apps or contacts.
I searched the net and forums and various folks have suggested to alter settings to allow apps and contacts to be searched (I've seen screenshots and videos). Funny thing is that this setting is completely missing now.
I tried searching if anyone else is having this issue but there are no other threads about it.
Did the recent OTA update a couple of days ago break the search widget? Any ideas how I can get it to look for installed apps and contacts.
Thanks in advance.
Yes the ota update took it out because in their infinite wisdom the courts held up a patent apple has that has to with searching your phone

Hi,
I've searched google for some days but I havent found anything to solve my problem!
The problem is: I have an exchange mail account at my firm and some colleagues create calender appointments with attachments in Outlook because I'm on the road 3-days a week.
I wanted to look at the attachments but no calender shows them, I tried several calender app on my Galaxy S4 for example: the Stock "S-Planner"App, google Calender App, Kalendi, and so on.
None of the above mentioned apps are able to show me the attachments.
Can you tell me if there is a workaround or if I have to change my settings in some how to view the attachments?
I would be very glad if someone could help me with this.
By the way, I hope I choose the right Forum to ask my question, if not then I'm really sorry and please move the Topic to the correct Forum (if thats even possible)
Thx to all who answers or tries to help.

Today I confronted a strange problem. My friend tried to sync our firm calendar to his tablet and said that it does not do anything. I have shared the calendar to his google account. His phone show the calendar just fine, but in his tablet there is not even an option in his google account settings to sync calendar. What could do this, and is there something to fix it? He can use the calendar by google chrome with his tablet, but it would be easier to use it with some android application.
