    What exactly does SyncService backup/sync?

    TIP: For those missing ringtones with 2.2

    I could no longer reference mine after the update, but found a fix. I had the ringtones stored in /sdcard/audio/ringtones/ and everything worked fine for 2.1. I moved them to /sdcard/system/audio/ringtones/ with Froyo and now I can refer to them again. Maybe I can save someone else some trouble.

    Help How to get rid of a status icon

    Today for no reason that I can think of, I am getting a blinking icon that represents 'Wired microphone headset connected' on my DINC. No headset is connected. I do have a wired headset, and when I connect it the icon stays lit. When I disconnect it, it blinks continuously. Any suggestions?
