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

I just put an insurance claim on my phone and got a new one, a Nexus S 4G by sprint.
Previously, I had CM7 with Google Apps.. I remember after I installed the custom recovery and CM7 and GApps last time, it gave me an option upon the first boot to install a bunch of google apps as well as the integrated facebook app..
Now, I got the new phone, went through the same process, and I can't find any of these apps.. When I install the Google Apps thing, it just takes me to a market search.. and I can't find the facebook one anymore.
I use that program to sync my contacts and I don't know what to do.
I've search all over the over the forums and all over the internet and I can't find anything. Can someone help me?

facebook was never a google app. nevertheless it should be in the market. search google for a facebook apk.
Just do a regular market search for Facebook. Its in there. I have to download everytime I install a new rom.
I tried searching for this both on this forum and on google. I found no answers. The calendar app deletes events that are older than 1 month. They stay on google.com but are deleted from my phone. Now I've tried going through the settings but there was no option for how far back I want my events to go. Is there a way around this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi all,
I have just installed the CM9 alpha 8, everything seems to be good.
however, when i wanted to make a call; i will need to search for a contact in my phonebook which is linked to my gmail account.
But when i use the search function, the only thing showed up was "None found."
Is this a common glitch for this firmware?
I did some search but i didnt found anything in common. My previous rom and many other roms i have tried seems not to have this problem.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
Search is case sensitive.. If the first letter in name is capital, use capitals and search.. Its a bug in the rom..

Cm9 contacts doesn't have a functionality for showing up just the sim contacts and hiding google contacts. also google contacts get double or even tripled if we sync contacts again and again.
On, I've been searching for this for a few days. I have been running ics and jellybean for a while, and as many know, upon moving to another Tom, when you sign in to Google, it will sync all the old bookmarks right back. Soo, my question is, where in the world are they kept in Google? I am back to gb, and can't find in Google they are kept. My Google/bookmarks folder is empty. Is there a way to access this info?
Hey Guys,
I have the latest gmail app on my nexus 4, running Android 4.4.3 KitKat. I am unable to download any attachments through the app, and it is beginning to bother me. I have had this issue over the past gmail app versions, and from 4.4.2 KitKat also. Pictures say they can't load, and any other files fail to download, and retrying doesn't help. A workaround that I can use now is saving everything i need to Google drive from within the gmail app, and accessing them from another app, but this isn't a permanent solution. I have tried wiping gmail cache, gmail data, and completely uninstalling gmail and reinstalling it from the play store after a reboot, all to no avail. None of the solutions I have found work. If you guys Know how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi
I have the same problem!!?? it is very annoying please anybodies have a solution? I cant't open any attachment via gmail app always I use save to drive to see any attachment via my mobile device.
Hey,
I never solved the issue and from Browsing around it seems it happens to some people and not to others. I just use the drive workaround now, because I have nothing else left to try.

Hi
Yeah the same as me, I feel tired of finding a solution for this problem. it is very wired that Google didn't mention this problem or solving it by newest version of gmail app because I found many threat talking about the same issue without a solution. many of member say to switch to K9 app instead of gmail app but the problem that in the k9 there are no categories like gmail ( Primary, Promotion, Social, Forums) I used them a lot because I don't like to get a notification when a new email come to one of these categories except Primary. these feature doesn't exist in another email app like K9.
