Yup, I get that problem as well...not a biggie for me tho, minor inconvenience

Opmon lets you set the time before it checks for changes. The problem is that the cell tower goes and updates your carrier line back to what your carrier wants, thus if you change the line, Sprint (or whoever your carrier is) changes it back. Opmon lets you specify how often to check for that change and if it detects a difference when it checks, then it changes back to what you want.

I am running Opmon, and so have not tried Cody's app, so I don't know how or whether his accounts for tower updates. If it doesn't already, then I'm sure he'll fix it. He's very good about getting his stuff working and tweaked quickly.

wel i didn't know about the opman program. sorry.

i am not trying to compete with anyone nor copy. i just wanted to share. the other day i wrote a little something to test a program tha ti am trying to update. see here... (post 70) ... http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...=150417&page=4

from the sounds of the other program i think my version may work better. what mine does is asks for the info you want to display. it then writes that to a spot in the registry that i created just for a storage spot. then every time you turn on your phone (wake from sleep) the program read the spot that i used for storage and quickly writes it to the carrier (operator) spot. yes the carrier is always changing everytime you go in or out of service, on off phone, ect. my idea should work pretty well and use no extra battery juice. really small and basic little app.

i dont even use it really. i just know there are so many people customizine there devices that i thought it would be cool to write. there was a guy asking to change the top bar where it said "start". this request made me post my little idea.

sorry, cody

Kinda like PocketFlashy, this is another cool app that has no answer to the question, "Why?" except, "Because we can!" PPCGeeks rule. Yes, thanks for the effort.

Works perfectly on Sprint 6700 running Kirvin's latest C&S.

Any way to change colors?

I have a Tmobile wing and I am also having the same issues as the others, the carrier name changes but then automatically resets it self and in order for me to get it back i have to place a call each time

hmmm, sounds like it is acting weird on the wing.

PEOPLE TRY THIS

instead of going in to the program or placing a call to get it to write agian. just push the power button once to put the device asleep and then 2 seconds later push the power button agian a wake the device.

this app is set to run everytime the device is woke up. this should work. i ran this app for 48 hours on my sprint touch and NEVER had a problem. hmmm.
