			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re using a 2.1 ROM which has been ported from the eris/slide/legend, it’s most likely that your MMS settings are screwed (as it’ll be stuck on Sprint network settings)</p>
<p>Here’s some instructions for adjusting it for your carrier….</p>
<p>OK, I have now fixed MMS on my phone (on 5.4 fully updated with OTE) by using the instructions originally posted by pulser (but slightly fixed as they appeared to be just a little incorrect).   <br />Here is what to do (make sure your phone is connected, if you are unsure as to wether the android tools can communicate with your phone use the command &quot;adb devices&quot; from the android tools and your phone should be listed if it has been detected):    <br />1) Install Android SDK if you don&#8217;t already have it.    <br />2) Terminal (cmd) to the ../tools folder.    <br />3) Type the following exactly as written:    <br />adb shell    <br />cd /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases    <br />sqlite3 telephony.db    <br />select * from carriers where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; This should show you the Sprint APN that Android is trying to use.    <br />&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Now go to <a href="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VillainRom3.2FixesMmsSettings">http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index&#8230;xesMmsSettings</a> and use the command for your network. I&#8217;ve posted them below for ease-of-use    <br />select * from carriers where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; This should now show the modified APN with your carriers settings.    <br />.exit    <br />exit    <br />&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; DONE</p>
<p>United Kingdom   <br />T-Mobile UK    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;149.254.201.135&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8080&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002&#8242; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />Vodafone UK    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;212.183.137.12&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8799&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms&#8217; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />Hutchison 3G UK (Aka 3 UK) (untested as of yet)    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;217.171.129.2&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8799&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc&#8217; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />O2 UK (untested as of yet)    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;193.113.200.195&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8080&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002&#8242; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />Orange UK (tested by ?LennyUK and is working - get in!)    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;192.168.224.010&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8080&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mms.orange.co.uk/&#8217; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />Virgin UK (untested as of yet)    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;193.030.166.001&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8080&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002&#8242; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />Tesco Mobile UK (untested as of yet)    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;193.113.200.195&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8080&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002&#8242; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;    <br />Asda Mobile UK (untested as of yet)    <br />update carriers set mmsproxy=&#8217;212.183.137.12&#8242;, mmsport=&#8217;8799&#8242;, mmsc=&#8217;http://mms.asdamobiles.co.uk/servlets/mms&#8217; where name = &#8216;Production&#8217;;Italy</p>

<p>However this is only a restriction with the UI and therefore it can be setup using the API’s. Luckily you can now download the tool to do this at Zorn Software that allows you to add a UNC path to a Library call the “Win7 Library Tool”.</p>
<p>This advantage of this is adding a UNC patch to a library is that you can now add NAS drives to your Windows 7 libraries.</p>

<p>Some of the other features of this tool are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Backup library configuration, such that a saved set of libraries can be instantly restored at any point (like after a re-install of the OS or for transfer between multiple computers).</li>
<li>Create a mirror of all libraries (using symbolic links) in [SystemDrive]:\libraries.&#160; This means you can reference all your files using a much shorter path, and also provides another entry-point to your files in many places in the Operating System (e.g. file open/save dialogs).</li>
<li>Change a library’s icon.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Follow this <a href="http://mswhs.com/2007/07/02/how-to-install-utorrent-on-windows-home-server/" target="_blank">guide</a> over at <a href="http://mswhs.com" target="_blank">mswhs.com</a>. I’ve reproduced it here but you may wish to check for any updates to the original guide.</p>
<blockquote><p>I used to use my PC to download torrent files whilst sleeping, but since my PCs are now turned off overnight and Windows Home Server is on 24/7 it seemed logical to install uTorrent onto WHS. The other advantage of installing it on the server was that if more than one of us in the house was using uTorrent it would not cause a lot of traffic on the connection and most importantly by the time you finish this tutorial it will also run without a logged-in user.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h4>Create the New User</h4>
<p>First of all we need to <a href="http://mswhs.com/2007/06/20/create-a-new-user-account-directly-on-the-whs/">create a new user on the server</a>. This is done for security reasons as we do not want to install uTorrent under the default Administrator account. Once this step is completed you may continue with the following.</p>
<h4>Install and Configure</h4>
<p>Connect via the Remote Desktop Connection as the user you have just created e.g. “WHS” and your newly created password.</p>
<p>Download the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&amp;displaylang=en">Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools</a> and install rktools.exe using the default options.</p>
<p>Next install the <a href="http://download.utorrent.com/1.6.1/uTorrent-1.6.1-install.exe">µTorrent 1.6.1 Installation Program</a> using the default options.</p>
<p>If this is the first time you have installed uTorrent on your server then a dialogue will appear asking if you want to associate .torrent files with µTorrent. Click <strong>Yes</strong>. If a Windows Security Alert pops up asking if you want to Block or Unblock uTorrent Click <strong>Unblock</strong> and if the <strong>Speed Guide</strong> appears set your <strong>Connection Type</strong> and the <strong>Current Port</strong> that you would like to use.</p>
<p>You will now need to forward the port you selected above into your router. Details of router setup screens can be found at<a href="http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm">http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm</a> (select your router and then uTorrent)</p>
<p>In uTorrent select <strong>Options</strong> then <strong>Preferences. </strong>Make sure your General screen matches this one:</p>
<p><a href="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/general.png"><img alt="General-utorrent" src="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/general.thumbnail.png" /></a></p>
<p>Make sure that your download screen matches the one below. You can change the location for your<strong>Put new downloads in</strong> but do NOT use a server share. It has to be under a drive letter on the WHS otherwise the Drive Extender Migrator Service will cause data corruption errors as it tries to move the file onto another drive while uTorrent is in the middle of writing to it, or just before uTorrent tries to open the file to write to it again. The <strong>Move completed downloads to</strong> can be changed to any server share location.</p>
<p><a href="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/downloads.png"><img alt="Downloads-utorrent" src="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/downloads.thumbnail.png" /></a></p>
<p>The <strong>other</strong> screen should match this one. Once again the <strong>Automatic load torrents in </strong><strong>directory</strong>location can be changed to any server share location. This setup enables uTorrent to monitor this specific folder for .torrent files and start downloading them automatically. All you have to do to start a download is place the .torrent file in that folder and uTorrent will do its stuff.</p>
<p><a href="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/other.png"><img alt="Other-utorrent" src="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/other.thumbnail.png" /></a></p>
<p>Using the <strong>Scheduler</strong> tab you can set your downloads to occur during “off-peak” periods by setting up a schedule if you so require.</p>
<p>As below, under <strong>Advanced Web UI</strong> Enable <strong>Web Interface</strong> and configure a <strong>Username</strong> and secure<strong>Password</strong> of your choice.</p>
<p><a href="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/web-ui.png"><img alt="webui-utorrent" src="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/web-ui.thumbnail.png" /></a></p>
<p>Click the <strong>OK</strong> button and close uTorrent.</p>
<p>Next <a href="http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=14565">Download the uTorrent WebUI</a> and extract webui.zip from the rar archive.</p>
<p>Click <strong>Start</strong> then <strong>Run</strong> and type %AppData%\uTorrent. Place the webui.zip into this opened folder (do NOT unzip it).</p>
<p>Next download the uTorrent add-in for the Windows Home Server Console from <a href="http://webwacker.livenode.com/WHSAddins/uTorrent/">here</a> or <a href="http://webwacker.ath.cx/WHSAddins/uTorrent">here</a>. Do NOT run it but place it in your Add-Ins Shared Folder (\\SERVER\Software\Add-Ins). Log In to your WHS console and go to <strong>Settings</strong>, <strong>Add-ins</strong> the <strong>Available</strong> tab and then click <strong>Install</strong> under “Windows Home Server – uTorrent”.</p>
<p>Once the console re-starts log back in to the console and go to <strong>Settings</strong>, <strong>uTorrent</strong> and for <strong>Server</strong>type in http://YourIP:Port/gui/ e.g. http://192.168.1.110:22345/gui/       <br /><em>YourIP is your server name or IP address and Port is the uTorrent Port that you set up earlier.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/settings.jpg"><img border="0" alt="settings" src="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/settings-thumb.jpg" width="240" height="192" /></a></p>
<p>Next insert your <strong>User Name</strong> and <strong>Password</strong> as set up earlier. You can press <strong>Test Configuration</strong> to check all is OK. Red is not and green is fine. You may now <strong>OK</strong> out of the Settings and close the Console.</p>
<h4>Create the User-Defined Service</h4>
<p>From your Windows Home Server click <strong>Start</strong> then <strong>Run</strong> and type <strong>cmd. </strong>In the window that opens type the following which is all on one line, including the quotation marks.</p>
<p><code>&quot;c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\instsrv.exe&quot; uTorrent &quot;c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe&quot;</code></p>
<p><em>NOTE: Cut and paste will not work, instead highlight and copy the above line and then right-click in the open CMD window and select paste.</em></p>
<p><em></em></p>
<p>Press <strong>Enter</strong> on your keyboard. Once the screen displays <strong>The service was successfully added!</strong> you may close the<strong> </strong>cmd<strong> </strong>box.</p>
<p>We need to now create a .Reg file using notepad and paste in the 3 lines of code below.</p>
<div style="border-bottom: gray 1px solid; border-left: gray 1px solid; padding-bottom: 4px; line-height: 12pt; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding-left: 4px; width: 111.62%; padding-right: 4px; font-family: consolas, &#39;Courier New&#39;, courier, monospace; height: 110px; max-height: 200px; font-size: 8pt; overflow: auto; border-top: gray 1px solid; cursor: text; border-right: gray 1px solid; padding-top: 4px">

</p></div>
</p></div>
<p>When saving make sure that <strong>Save as type</strong> is set to <strong>All Files *.*</strong> and save as <strong>service.reg.</strong> Double click on this saved file to import the settings into the registry on your server.</p>
<p>Now click the <strong>Start</strong> button and then select <strong>All Programs,</strong> <strong>Administrative Tools</strong>&#160; and then<strong> Services</strong>. Find <strong>uTorrent</strong> right-click and select <strong>Properties.</strong></p>
<p>Select the<strong> Log On </strong>tab.<strong> </strong>Click the<strong> This account</strong> button and enter <strong>WHS</strong> as the <strong>This account</strong> and enter the <strong>Password</strong> you setup earlier for this user account and confirm the Password.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>
<p><a href="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/logon.png"><img alt="logon-utorrent" src="http://mswhs.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/logon.thumbnail.png" /></a></p>
<p><strong>OK</strong> out and close the <strong>Services</strong> dialog.</p>
<p>Click <strong>Start</strong>, <strong>Shut Down</strong> then <strong>Restart</strong>.</p>
<p>That’s it job completed. You can now connect to uTorrent either via the web interface using your browser using the format http://YourIP:Port/gui/ or via the WHS console (uTorrent heading).</p>
<p>All you have to do to start a torrent download automatically is place the .torrent file in the \\SERVER\Public\Torrents folder and forget about it.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>P.S. Whose of you with Windows Vista may like to know that there is a sidebar gadget called<a href="http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=23068">µTorrent Stats</a> that enables you to Start, pause or stop any torrent and allows you to view the stats and files for each torrent separately, all from the desktop sidebar within Vista.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One major advantage to be had when using a Windows 7 Media Center over your standard cable DVR is the ability to scan and remove commercials from Recorded TV shows. Programs such as <a href="http://www.lifextender.com/">Lifextender</a>, which can be setup to use either <a href="http://www.comskip.org/">comskip</a> or<a href="http://www.dragonglobal.biz/showanalyzer.html">Showanalyzer</a>, can arrange for new shows to be scanned and the commercials removed without having to process each file by hand. Unfortunately, Lifextender doesn’t work with the new WTV format so first we’ll need to convert the files using a program such as<a href="http://wtvwatcher.codeplex.com/">WTVWatcher</a>.</p>
