Remove/Hide Phone Status

[nekeong]

Happy New Year to all!

1) I'm using HTC on WM6.1, when turn off cellular radio at Comm Manager, the phone status will show "Phone Off" at "Phone" dialer screen.

How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. Or can i even change the "Phone Off" to some other word (Fake operator carier name)?

2) new to WM, how to browse/view \\windows folder?

Please help. Thanks in adavance!

that's for changing the operator:

and about browsing windows:
1. connect to your pc using activesync
2. go to your device's root folder (on your pc.. not your device)
3. dunno which version of windows/linux you're running, but you need to remove the "hidden" parameter from the windows dir...

then you'll be able to view it in your file explorer on your device...

1)
I can change operator name at registry w/o the app. But no matter what operator name u change, it will show "Phone Off" once you swith off the cellular radio option in Comm Manager.

(Simple, imagine using the pda with Sim Card/Phone function BUT phone status there show something else instead of "Phone OFF")


2)
i can't see any windows folder on my root folder (PC), i'm on WM6.1

1. i believe the link i sent you will solve this issue. try it.
2. you need to enable watching hidden system files on your comp.

which version of windows are you using?

[nekeong]

1. aight, will try that 1st
2. i'm on vista, already enabled show system/hidden file

[nir36]

if you enabled showing HIDDEN SYSTEM FILES...
and you went to your root directory of your device (thru the computer, not thru the device), and disabled the Hidden property... there's no way you can't see it now.. unless something is very wrong over at your device's side :)

[nekeong]

that's why:confused: do i missed anything? need to set anything on the device? just bought it all default setting..

[nir36]

nope. nothing. windows is generally marked as hidden. if you remove the parameter, you should be able to see it wherever.
which file explorer are you using?

[nekeong]

normal windows explorer

[nir36]

hehe.. i meant on your device

[nekeong]

erm..i can view it on my device but not in PC

[nir36]

you can view your windows folder on your device... and can't view it on your pc?
that's.... weird.

[nekeong]

Yup.

Back to the first question, How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. ?

The "Personalizer" app dint help, it will still shows "Phone Off" after set to off at Comm Manager.

Anyone?

[nekeong]

[nir36]

I'm sorry, i searched and searched and couldn't find anything relating to this subject.

[nekeong]

It's ok, thanks for your help! hope some expert reply my thread with solution 1 day.

Maybe i make thing complicated.

What i want is actually OFF the phone (only PDA function), nobody can call in but when my girlfriend play around with my phone, she won't know i OFF the phone! i think your should know why i'm doing this..:P but thats off topic!

SO, any other phone dialer than dont have this "Phone OFF" status showing? so that i can replace current dialer. i had use WM5, thats fine, no phone/network status showing, but dont tell me to downgrade to WM5..heh
