    I got a VNG-TZ191N from SonyStyle (I like having a US warranty service), which I'm exchanging for a 195N. A couple questions:

    - Is there any way to turn off the error dialog box that comes up every time the fingerprint scanner has trouble reading a print? The way I use the trackpad, I guess my thumb keeps bumping against the scanner and sets off the error box. It's really annoying! I love the fingerprint scanner, I just need it to stop notifying me every time it has trouble.

    - If I do a semi-clean install a la the instructions here, will I get back the space on the recovery partition?

    Thanks.
