Re: I got the "Roaming Only" thing working

Add a DWORD called "ItemValue3" with the DWORD Data being "5" (in Decimal)

Do not enter the quotation marks in the directions above. After exiting the program, wait a minute or 2 and then shut the phone off, wait a few seconds for good measure, and turn it on again. Or soft-reset by taking the back cover off (big hassle), or use the soft-reset program floating around.

You can get a free registry editor here:

Thanks...this worked perfectly. I didn't need the .cab

I will give this a try at work tomorrow to see if my battery life improves. Right now I am constantly in and out of Sprint service as I hover around 1 bar at my desk.
