This place is so full of superb info, sometimes it amazes me.

A REALLY easy hack to allow you to toggle the flight mode on or off with just a single button push.
Ok...so who can get my speakerphone to map to a single button other than phone on?

HOW TO:
This appeared here on PDAPHONEHOME first...
>>As you know, the VZW 6600 doesn't natively support the "End Call" radio off feature that the SPCS device does. With VZW you had to tap the antenna icon and select "Flight Mode" to shut the radio down.
With this hack, your "end Call" button will now function just like the SPCS device.
You need registry editor software - any will do. Be careful and make sure you're comfortable dabbling in the guts of your OS. Here's the procedure:
1. Get the PHM REGISTRY HACK APP (the FREE version will do)
Note: Resco Explorer 2003 has one in it already
2. Open that app up and make sure you are at MY DEVICE.
3. Highlight MY DEVICE by tapping it once,
if you are on a Verizon phone it will be a folder labeled My Registry
4. Go to bottom screen and click on TOOLS and than FIND and type the word below and hit FIND NEXT.

(you can also just type the first part I'm sure it will find it).
5. Open that, and just switch the VALUE DATA from 0 TO 1.
6. Hit OK and when you are out, and reset your ppc.
Now your set and ready to do what you wanted for FREE!
Good Hacking,
Bob Duckworth

YOU ARE THE MAN. You rock!
Not only does the hack work!!! It turns the Flight mode (ie the phone's radio itself) both ON and OFF !!!!! Its a toggle!!! To work it...
Turn Phone off.....[hold phoneoff button for 4 seconds...release.....wait a sec for it to show up on the icon]
Turn Phone on....[hold phoneoff button for 4 seconds....release.....wait about 5 sec for it to show up on icon]
Too cool. Just way too cool!!
And it takes 2 min.
(BTW, if you have RESCO File Explorer 2003, it has a registry editory already...it is a change of one character.)
Thanks!
Carl
ps. It absolutely does survive a reset.
pss. Wouldn't you think this would be a huge and valuable feature????? Why would they NOT implement this?
