Anyway, any advice is appreciated. I'd love to change my Today screen, it seems so busy. What do I have to do to change it?

Where did you get Pandora and does your keyboard work with it? Mine has disappeared.

Very grateful for the registry hacks in this thread! Question - when I try to change some values, I often get the message: Access Denied! Is there something I need to disable, or does my phone somehow recognize my inexperience in this area and is protecting me?

What app are you using to try and make these changes with? If your not using a reg editor, you can't do most of these tweaks. There are other things that you can do with the stock file explorer, but sometimes if an app (or whatever is associated with the tweak your doing) is running, it won't let you procede.

I am using the trial version and really love it.....thanks again.

Um.....secondary camera?

[syrguy1969]

I think that is in reference to the front camera for video calls. It was removed fron the i910 (the i900 has one), but since VZW doesn't support video calling anyway, it isn't really that big of an issue for most.

I found that this happens often. Very often.

A workaround is to assign a hardware key to the keyboard using Settings/Buttons. IE set camera hold to the keyboard; when it is needed (in any app) just hold the camera button and the keyboard will appear.

I cannot remember who posted the original workaround. If I do I'll edit this post to give him credit.

Another Question. Does anyone have a calender and phonebook they use rather then the default ones. I dont like them both because of the layout. If you do can you post pictures? Thank you

I use icontact too but when it comes down to entering the actual details of the contact, it goes to the default samsung programs. I dont like how that one works and looks. Anything else?
