[Petabyte]

Tonight I was at a meeting and noticed my phone was warm and not getting a good signal. No background programs running. nuePower showing 161mA, but my battery had dropped about 40% over 45 minutes. Using Touch Pro on Sprint. No roaming icon shown. Turning my phone off was not an option because kids with sitter and sitter had my cell number. In Settings>Phone>Services>Roaming the only options are for:
0 Sprint
0 Automatic

And Automatic was checked.

If I do the registry edits noted, will I see additional options on this page:
0 Sprint
0 Automatic
0 Roam

???

In this setting I would not mind having the option of changing back and forth between "Automatic" and "Roam" since Verizon uniformly has a stronger signal throughout the city. I am thinking that If I could get a stronger roaming signal my battery would be preserved longer.

I don't want to have to keep changing the registry everytime I want to change between Sprint and Roaming. I don't mind making changes in Settings.

It would be nice if there were a program to automatically switch to roaming when the Sprint signal is low. I know that that is what the "automatic" setting is supposed to do, but it does not do it efficiently....and most often I don't even get the roaming icon even though I am in an area where I know the Verizon signal is strong (I used to be a Verizon customer, but switched to Sprint when Verizon gimped their Touch Pro).
