Will i still get updates from the Android Market if i move to a country who doesn't support some applications? will the market identify that i'm on another country or not?

I haven't had a reason to use it, but I've seen lots of other people (devs and such) mention it.
Do i really need to use that application if i'm coming from US? I mean will my market's region change if i go to other country?

I'm still unsure if I'm going to keep it but so far I like it.
(won't let me upload pictures of the launcher open)
If you have this app search Google images for pics of what you want and refine the search to 256 x 256 images and use those. It looks much better.

If nothing else works, factory reset should do the trick

Just checked phone now and out of nowhere these showed up on my home screen. They are not in the applications list, I'm wondering what the heck is going on

probably some type of spam from a previous app you have installed

Yeah I had installed AirDroid last night and that's what was doing it apparently, I just installed Airpush Detector to wipe that crap off, hopefully it's gone now and will stay that way. Damn sneaky mofos.
install ad network detector .. will be handy to detect ads in the future

What's this on my photo?

Hi all,
Is anyone else getting a line across their photos in certain situations like my attached photo? I've only had it a few times and I've checked to see if my lens is scratched but it isn't...... Seems weird :-$
Thanks

Maybe there is an internal scratch. Or maybe its not processing the image right. Try to upgrade ur fw to latest and check. With latest fw the camera fw is also sometime updated to sort out bugs. If that doesnt help use ur warranty card and replace it.
