Hi guys,

I am aspiring android developer. I have downloaded JDK 6, eclipse 3.5, the ADT plug in, and also and android sdk. when I open the android sdk manager.exe, a black box appears for a second and then dissapears. Does anyone know what might be going on?

A free Windows program called "connectify" is very nice for setting up a wifi hotspot that works well with the Galaxy Tab and should work for any android.

Facebook on Samsung Captivate

Can someone please tell me who to get the poke feature? I have followed a lot of threads and under the Settings Tab I don't have the option for Poke? Messages checked; Friend requests checked; Event invites checked; I love to Poke people and do it on my PC all the time; but don't know what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for this guide. My husband bought me the EVO on Saturday and this has helped tremendously, especially with the annoying vibrating keys. Thank you again for the great information.

Thanks for directing me over here, Craig. You've put together some great guides, I'm a little overwhelmed, but trying to study up, before my new toy arrives.
