While we're on this topic, I have it on the old 3GS, I took a note of the pwd and got it in a note. So I checked the note before installing it on the new Mini, and got to a log in screen, and it assures me my id or pwd is wrong; and it persists in this. I got back to the phone and it

have you done settings in the oplayer so it has access to your dropbox? does your dropbox have content oplayer can work with. most apps I've used that offer dB support usually make themselves a dedicated folder, so you'd have to put content in that folder specifically. These are immediate

3GS and proximity sensor?

2012-12-04 Thread Rob Harris
I think I asked this before; anybody know where the proximity sensor is, does it need cleaning maybe, any reason for it to be flaky and causing issues hanging up calls; it stays in phone mode and don't talk. Conversely, it's been known to stay in speaker mode even if I put it to my ear.

It just failed! Sure the button to beg or buy more are there, but it didn't say why. Appps like Ubidisk and Phone Drive do have huge files if included in your backup. If you switch documents on, then those are amongst them; otherwise, you don't get to back up your other documents. That leaves
