This is a helpful page, but just a suggestion: the wiki woud not have so much out of date content if statements like this:

"Currently there are no activities that use the stylus. The Draw activity will work with a stylus in the next software update."

instead identified the software update in question and perhaps linked to the roadmap.

Additions to FAQ

These issues have come up that have solutions:

Airplane_mode How to set local timezone via Sugar_Control_Panel

Other things have come up regularly that *don't* have answers. I imagine we're not going to recommend that G1G1 users update to joyride are we? is for Insects 01:52, 16 December 2007 (EST)

How do I install Adobe Flash Player?

This one gets asked a lot. Shaving 1 min off of the solution will be a big win. Sj

added.

How do I connect to a WiFi network that has a hidden SSID?

How do I connect to TMobile?

This one likewise. User:Sj

Also, what if I didn't get the E-mail?

My XOen arrived today but I did not receive an e-mail shipping notice, tracking number, or T-mobile PIN and instructions. It may have been in my junk mail folder and I missed it. (The last time I checked here, I did not find this SupporFAQ page.) How can I request the information? (Orcmid 20:06, 19 December 2007 (EST))

AIM, Yahoo, MSN support

This seems to be asked a lot. While the native programs obviously don't work, these services have web interfaces that may be usable via the Browse activity. I don't have an XO or membership in the services, though... If someone could test them and write/update the appropriate questions, that would be great. See AIM Express, Yahoo WebMessenger, MSN Web Messenger. —Joe 12:35, 17 December 2007 (EST)

won't play sound, try volume keys

An obvious cause of not playing sound is having the volume set too low. Use the volume up key. See Keyboard Shortcuts.
