While I’m quite happy with my Android phone (HTC Incredible) I have no love for the standard pile of bloatware that Verizon insists on packing on board.  For months, or at least since the 2.2 Froyo update, I get an annoying browser popup for V-Cast media manager…. complete with music.

Finally I decided I could take it no more and set out on an internet forum scavenger hunt for a solution.  I’m happy to report that I’ve found a quick, easy, permanent solution to share with the world.

• Open ‘Phone’ then dial ##7764726
• Press ‘Call’
• Enter Password 000000 (that’s 6 zeros)
• Press ‘Feature Settings’
• Choose ‘CD ROM’
• Select ‘Disable’
• Finally, press ‘Menu’ > ‘Commit Modifications’

Voila!

Apparently this disables the virtual CD that is set to Auto-Play whenever connected to a PC and should prevent you from being spammed by Verizon each time you connect your phone to charge via USB.

Pass it on!  Any practical solutions of your own?
