How do I change the Android SMS tone despite of current SMS tone setting?



I have developed an Android application for changing ringtones. It works quite well, but one thing bothers me.





When I set a ringtone as a notification tone, it plays when I receive an SMS message. However, if I have chosen a custom SMS tone earlier (ie. anything else than "Default ringtone" which is active by default) in the SMS settings, the new notification tone will not play when I receive an SMS.





This might lead to a situation in which someone installs the ringtone app from the Android market, sets the notification tone and gets disappointed because the chosen notification will not play when (s)he receives an SMS. The solution is quite easy (SMS -> Settings -> Select ringtone -> Default ringtone), but it's truly a nuisance if (s)he doesn't know this.





This is what I use to set the notification tone:







values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);

values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, true);

values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true);







.....







RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(this, RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION, persistentUri);

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
