Make sure you got rooted phone.

• Install Android SDK (for basic command line tools, such as ADB)
• Add Android tools to the PATH
• Turned on USB debugging on Phone
•  Connect with USB Cable, USB Drivers must be installed (with SDK etc)

Open Command Terminal and enter the following:

adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Then you’ll see:

sqlite>

Then enter the following to alter the limit

INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_max_count', 101);

(change 101 to your new limit)

I didnt try altering the limit so I hope it works for you guys.. but I can confirm this next one works. It completely turns off the limit altogether.

To turn off the limit enter:

INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms', 0);

There are times that it would be nice to mount a drive in Windows and set it to read only to avoid accidentally over writing data on that drive. After some Google searching this is what I found. This will only work on Windows XP sp2 and later and Windows 7. I have not tested it on Vista although I assume that it will work.

Step 1
Open regedit.exe
Start > Run Type regedit.exe
Click OK

Step 2
Navigate to the following registry key.  It may not exist there for you will have to create it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

Step 3
Next create a new DWORD called WriteProtect and give it a value of 1

Step 4
Now plug in your USB drive and you will not be able to write to the device.

To make it writable again you will have to change the WriteProtect DWORD to 0 and unplug and replug in your device.

I thought I had carefully controlled what other people I choose to share my photos and my personal information with me on my Facebook and I was really careful about what third-party Facebook applications I allow to have access to personal details such as my birthday, my status updates, my photos, my location and educational and work history but I was WRONG until today.
