I used 000000 for the SPC password with success here. Interesting stuff in there!

I just tried this and found that the right Alt key won't do it, but using the left Alt key works. Can't tell if I did something different try the right Alt key, but I couldn't get it to work in any sequence using the key, and using the left Alt key worked first try.

Yeah...I figured that out too. Apparently the correct key combo is:

Shift + Left Alt + Del

I'll update the first post.

I searched as best I could so I apologize if the answer is around here somewhere, but how do you get your unread email and SMS count to show up on the actual icon? When I get emails/sms it only shows up in the toolbar. I searched the market and didn’t find anything that anyone said worked properly. The only suggestion that I saw was to use the “mail” icon instead. I set that up but still didn’t have a count appearing. Is there a setting for this somewhere?

Please Help! And thank you in advance!

Jester,

I don't think that functionality is available yet. It would really need to be done through a widget methinks.

I agree...It's a job for a widget.

I use Handcent SMS for text messages. It comes with a 1x1 widget that does this. Hopefully as these devices get more popular, we'll see more stuff like this.

Is there anyway to sticky this post? Its one of the most informative post and probably one that most people will refer to.

Is there a free wireless hotspot creating tool or only pdanet?

Thank you. I will give it a try. Also if you use Gmail have you noticed that sometimes it will push out right away and other times it will take awhile to get?
