I got the "Roaming Only" thing working - Page 3

tokfume · #21 (**permalink**) 09-20-2009, 08:21 PM

I currently use this cab for Sprint Mogul but my job has recently given me a T-Mobile TP2 and would love to to have this same feature on it. Does anyone know if there is a CAB for Tmobile TP2?
Does the 'Roaming Only" registry deal work on TMobile?

Thanks in advance

I only know the very sinple regedit works on Sprint. Even if it's in the same registry location on the others, perhaps the values would be different.

That is what it looked like to me. It gave me different reg values that what you had posted.

This is not applicable to a Verizon phone. Do not do it.

Here's a cab. Install and soft reset. Can someone on SPRINT test it out?

Does the clean up package by GoodThings2Life include this? I think it does.

I assumed as much when I saw different reg values. Hence the reason I stopped and asked if anyone knew of one for verizon.

Has anyone tested this out yet?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSett ing

Change the ItemCount to 3

Add a String Value called "ItemName3" with the string being "Roaming Only"

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.
