Display a Caller's STATE based on Area code?

[stevedusa]

Well I disabled the HTC dialer by going HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin and change the Enabled to "0", did a soft reset but now I noticed some issue... My data activities is ALWAYS active (both arrows are bright to indicated data activity).

I remember someone said that certain dialer has this problem, which I've seen on my Mogul using some other dialer, but I never expected the stock dialer would do this.

Well guess I'm going back to the HTC dialer, however I like the speed of stock dialer (no incoming delay and such.)

Yeah I noticed that I always had a data connection as well but I disabled active data connections via comm manager and it seemed to remedy the issue. I must admit though I love the lack of delay with incoming calls though.

Point taken. Well back to original question anybody find a way to get the the area code to show?

AFLAC!! They pay out claims faster than you can get out the hospital

On a somewhat related note, looks like the area codes are stored in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\AreaCode]


Also, found this value (not sure what it does, but maybe someone with HTC dialer disabled (who still isn't seeing the state code) can set this to "0" and see if that helps? Just guessing based on the value name, though the "InitProv" part of the key name makes it sound unrelated:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\InitProv]
"DisableAreaCodeAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001
