Roaming

[wwing49]

I read somewhere that I should disable roaming to prevent missed calls. Should I also disable data roaming?

Also, is this the explanation on why I would look at my phone and see that it had switched to airplane mode?

cant say about romaing, i live in chicago so i always have a sprint signal

as for plane mode, holding the hardware End button for a few seconds puts it in plane mode, ive noticed sometimes the holster pinches it and does that

Is there a disable or workaround for this?

Thanks for the info.

not that i know of, sorry, ive been looking for something too, all the button mappers ive seen only deal with the shortcut buttons on the side and top

Its a system function, ie. a layer beyond what button mappers do.

There is something in the registry I believe you can edit to change that, although I don't recall where. I did it on another HTC device once.

Simple work around... simply lock the keypad or put the phone in standby before putting it in the holster. One button pushed, problem solved.

I don't know why allowing voice roaming would cause you miss calls. Data roaming could cause this, though. EVDO supports calls ringing through even in an active data session, but 1xRTT does not. Most of Sprint's roaming agreements only let you data roam on 1x. So if you're roaming and in a data session, you won't receive calls.

not sure if anyone is still interested but i found the reg key to disable going into flight mode with the end call button

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/PhoneExtendFunction/CDMA/

set FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey to 0
