Directions for a Hard Reset on a Sprint HTC Touch Pro:

1. Turn the device off (Some directions indicate leaving the device on, for Sprint this is not true)
2. Hold the volume down and enter key (enter key is center of the d-pad)
3. Press and hold the Power On key while still holding the volume down and enter key.
4. Within a few seconds there will be a prompt, confirming the complete deletion of all data.  Release the volume down, enter and power keys.  At this prompt, press the volume up key and all data will be deleted.
5. Hard Reset has now been completed.  The phone will restart, prompt for screen alignment, provide a tutorial, HTC and Sprint will install their extra software, phone will restart and everything should be good to go!

Any questions, Sprint Technical support should be able to assist 1-888-211-4727.

Near the top of the index.php file, before the line of code,  which will look similar to:

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

 insert the following line:

<?php if (is_front_page()) { query_posts(”cat=3″); } ?>

The number 3 will need to be changed to the categories ID. This can be found under the admin->posts->categories page. Hover the cursor over the category link and in the status bar it will display cat_ID=x. X will be the category ID to substitute into the line of code above.

I wasn’t able to find a setting, but I was able to find some code, link to original code below, to insert into the index.php and single.php files for the theme.  I put the code after the content is displayed. The code shows a small dynamic line at the end of each post with the original posting date and then the last updated date if is greater than 24 hours from the original posting date. 

It displays as follows:  This entry was posted on August 13th, 2009 at 4:23 pm and last updated on August 18th, 2009 at 12:57 pm

The code which needs to be added to the relative files, index.php and single.php for the theme I’m using, is as follows:

<p><small>
This entry was posted on <?php the_time(’F jS, Y’) ?> at <?php the_time() ?>      
<?php $u_time = get_the_time(’U');
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(’U');
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
echo “and last updated on “;
the_modified_time(’F jS, Y’);
echo ” at “;
the_modified_time(); } ?>
</small></p>

Scientists and researches have been divided on how much radiation the body can tolerate being emitted from a cell phone.

The FCC limits Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measured in watts per kilogram (W/kg) for partial-body exposure including the head to 1.6 W/kg. Generally the lower the SAR the lower the health risk posed by the cell phone.
