iPhone Modified Keyboard
I've been using the iPhone 3G for months and it's really hard to get used to the standard keyboard. I tried to look for alternative keyboard layout and I found ikeyex keyboard developed by KennyTM. The tool can be only installed in jailbroken iPhones. You can download the latest release from his site which is "hk.kennytm.iKeyEx3-0.1-99j.deb" and make sure to also download "hk.kennytm.5RowQWERTY-0.1-99h.deb". I'll be including my own keyboard layout and feel free to use it.

Samsung Omnia Backlight Fix
I had a Samsung Epix and Samsung Omnia before which had a backlight issue (very unlucky). I tried to have it checked in samsung service center and the only option was to replace the mainboard which cost a lot since I don't have the receipt anymore. The problem with the backlight was it does not turn off automatically by itself. It will only turn off if the device is set to turn off. The problem here is that If you're surfing the internet with your phone and set the backlight to turn off after 1 min, device turn off after 3 mins. The backlight won't turn off until the 3 min mark which will drain your battery. Another problem is that the phone backlight will not turn off if it's sync to activesync/charge. You will need to turn it off by pressing the power button, but that ends up disconnecting to activesync also.
Windows Vista Sidebar Won’t Open
One time, I was trying to open the Windows Vista's Sidebar to check a cool gadget. Unfortunately, after trying to open it several times by clicking on the icon in the Start menu, it won't open. I tried rebooting my computer but still no luck.
I've searched in the internet for solutions. I tried so many solutions until I found the solution below that worked for me. I'm pretty much sure that there are people out there who encountered the same problem which sometimes resulted to reinstallation of Windows Vista.

Slow 3G Connection Fix for Windows
Are you using 3G Modems such as Huawei E220, Sierra Air Card, and others? I'm pretty sure that you can't open some of the web sites. You can test this by going to http://support.microsoft.com and see if you could open the site.
Some people experience very slow overall internet connection and you're not reaching the published speed of your 3G provider.
Now, I have good news for you. It’s a bug and it can be fixed. It's a registry tweak that will adjust the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of Windows that's just right for 3G connection. In layman's term, it sets the maximum data it can sends at a time.
