Disable Sprint Carrier Logo/Contact Lookup
 

There are two versions of this tweak:

One gets rid of the Contact Look up box on the Today screen:

Version 1

Menu --> Preferences --> Hide Lookup Field

This can be toggled anytime. Leaves the Sprint logo with BT icon on the screen though!



Version 2
Brute force. Gets rid of Contact Look up AND the Sprint Logo.

Side effect: At least on my device, the Green Phone Button does not bring up the Submenu anymore.

You loose your speedial shortcuts too.

I ended up remapping the Green key to the "PhoneDialer.exe" under \windows to get the main part back. I used AE Button Plus to do this.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Dial Lookup"

Enabled = 0 (for off; 1 is for on)

sweet. thanx a ton man

hey, have u been experienceing issues with phonealarm? like, when i dismiss a missed call on phonealarm it syays on the upper screen ( the actual phone app) and ringers dont work it u set them in phone alarm profiles, only in the sounds and notifications tab. kinda anoying

haven't had too many missed calls, so kinda hard for me to tell. I'll keep you updated. You may want to post at pocketmax.net or send a log file to Bruce and let him know.

SWEET!!!!! :notworthy: :notworthy:

actually...

another side effect: it disables the in-call screen (call status), which kinda sucks.

so it can be done, but that lil' plugin is sure tied into a lot of the Palm features! :oops:

Any way to just remove the sprint part? I actually like the lookup part.

nope, not without removing everything including the Phone functions.

What about just changing the "Carrier" to a name you like?

This is really simple using a registry editor:
HKLM/System/State/Phone --> Change "Current Operator Name" to whatever you want :wink:

BTW, there are TONS of various options in this registry section in case anyone wants to play around with them a bit and report back?? :D

Sweet I like this and have all ready changed mine. The Treo has Sprint stamped on the front why dose it need to say sprint in the screen.Thanks for the tip :thumbright:

This gets reset back to Sprint every time you turn the phone off, then back on. :( Hence the name "State"- apparently this section gets overwritten by the operating system whenever state changes on various items...

Yup, sorry about that, I didn't realize this until I reset my device this morning :(

Hi guys. This is exactly what I was looking for (a way to get rid of the Sprint and BT text and icon. I tried using Mobile Reg Editor to modify the entry you refer to but I keep getting "Access Denied" when I try and update the registry. Did you guys run into this?

Actually, I downloaded a reg editor that runs on the Treo 700wx and modified the entry and I still see the word "Sprint" and the Bluetooth logo. Anthing else I need to do to make this work?
