how to remove TV icon from the notification bar?

[m_s_ifland]

Glad that cab is working for you guys, it took me a few times to get it right. If you guys use it and it worked can you go back to post #31 and hit the "thank" button. I would appreciate it.

I know this is very very old and I'm sorry to bother you guys with this. But does anyone know if this cab JUST eliminates the icon? OR does it stop the program and save battery life???

I'm playing with my batt life right now and never disabled the TV to see how much better it would be (because I use it). I did this cab but you can still run the TV from programs. I'm looking for the fix that eliminates the TV and gives the batt savings along with it. I will give up my TV service if the Batt life is much better.

(I installed this cab but haven't noticed any savings, maybe this isn't the fix i think)

Sorry again, and yes is searched and searched J

It will save battery life, because it stops the service from running. It will only run if you actually open the app.

Use a registry editor to edit the text in the key. Just type in the exclamation point from the keyboard.
Do you know how to use a registry editor? Do you have one on your device?

No I don't. I just installed an Advanced Config cab that I used to changed my soft keys, But I dont have a regestry editor. Got a link handy and a minute for explaining it? Also...will that work to get rid of the black Verizon bar underneath the start bar?

Thanks

As long as a hard reset will get me back to normal. I am on my 5th phone because of the button issue. So I can set it back up pretty quick. 5th phone but still I keep coming back...I do love this phone.

Another thing...These cabs...and registry stuff.....Is it better to install it on the device memory or can it be put on the sc? Is there a difference?

Generally speaking when installing; things that deal with the OS should be installed in the device memory.

All others [unless specified] can be installed to the SD card thereby saving precious device memory.

If you are talking about the dark shading, I used MaxTTM to get rid of that.

Do a search for MaxTTM, install it, then in the "Deploy Components" page, select Top Curtain from the drop down and change it to "TF3D V2.1 Full Transparent"

There are some posts here that will remove the Verizon Wireless text and logo as well, but I don't remember where they are. Do a search.

For a registry editor, I use Total Commander.

Total Commander - PocketPC

Once you get it installed, then use the backslash button in the upper right corner to go to the root folder. There you should see three entries, ftp, LAN and registry. Click the registry and browse to the path below:

[HKLM\Services\MFLORSSI]


Click on the DLL key and it should say MFLO_RSSI.dll
Change the entry by adding an exclamation point (or other character, it doesn't matter), then rebooting your phone (soft reset).

The TV icon should be gone.

But also heed memoriesuntold's advice. If you are not careful, you can mess up your device. But a Hard Reset will fix that (of course then you have reinstall & re-setup your device anew.)
