| |  Figured out how to remove VZW Song ID and Tones App (I Think)
I saw posts about these 2 apps but didn't see them on my phone, even after a restart. Seems that they only came through after a quickpull. Also, most people are saying there is no way to delete these icons and you need to 'hide' them.
I decided to install the songID app because I wanted to try it out. The instructions say to place the phone near the speaker for 10 seconds so it can listen to song. I tried playing 2 songs from youtube on my computer, (one uncommon song and then Uptown girls from Billy Joel) and the app just said "Listening!" throughout the ENTIRE songs, which were both over 3 minutes. I had enough and decided this app is crap lol
So I went to Options>Advanced>Applications and deleted SongID. Then I checked my homescreen and the app was gone! So I did the same with VZW Tones and that's gone too.
So in order to delete the icons, you need to install the apps and then uninstall them.
**Update: Nevermind... The icons come back after restarting. I even tried deleting the service books and again they came back after a restart.
Sorry for the false Hope!

Also, in case you are interested in making song id work, you have to change the permissions for everything to "Allow". It will work properly then. Before I made the changes, mine also just kept listening. Once I set everything to Allow as people in other threads stated, it worked after 10-15 seconds of listening.

Never had any false hopes, but I was wondering how long it would take you to figure it out. You were much faster than I thought you would be.

Sorry for the false Hope! | Well I have successfully removed the VzwTones and the VCast Song ID web link icons from my Storm. I did this by selecting the Options/Advanced/Service Book/VPL VZW Tones [BrowserConfig] and then select the Menu button and delete. You can use this same process for any of the items that you do not want to show up. I have also removed the Instant Messaging icons as well as Flickr, Google Talk and AIM. I have even restarted my Storm several times to make sure they did not reappear! It works!!!
