I have a Eris on VZW, and I want to see if anyone here experiencing a delayed ring? I.E. when someone calls you it takes 3 maybe even 4 rings before your phone rings? My last phone, WM i760 took 1&1/2 to 2 before the cell rang, and both are using the same ringtone. Is this normal? Is there any way I can decrease the amount of delay(on my i760 there was a phone code I could dial to get into a special phone mode to adjust the delay)? Thanks.
What can we do?
I tried some of the default ringtones and the same thing occurred.
not sure whether this is always the case, but i just tried it and there was like zero delay. instant ringing.
delay 3-4 rining.
but the LED delays "only" 2 rining.
AND(!!): wenn i am listening music with the headset, musik stop playing long before (3-4sec before) the phone starts to ring or the LED starts to blink
Normal tones (htc's tones) shouldn't have a delay. Mp3 or custom tones do lag.
This issue has been asked before, no way te resolve it I think but not sure.
You should try the search
Yeah I had a custom tone on my last phone and there was a phone setting i had to get into by dialing a number to fix improve it.
anyone try what was suggested it here. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=99307
Edit: I just notice that what is suggested in that link is the same thing I did for my previous phone and that worked well. I had it at 1 on my last phone and I have it on 1 on my Eris now. I just tested it, and my phone now rings about a quarter second after the second ring. It much better now. I was told with this settings change on this phone and with my previous phone battery life does go down a slight bit, but I never noticed it on my last phone. I hope its the same case here. Then again I do have plans to get a larger battery, which would kind of make the point moot.

It says on that forum by pjsockett linked to above:
##PST Send
Edit Mode
Enter 000000 Press OK
Modem Settings
Slot Cycle Index
Change Value (Lower values ring faster)
OK
Menu
Commit Modifications
Press OK to reset the device. OK
After that your device should reboot and you should be good!
Beware, Reducing the slot cycle can reduce battery life which could be an issue on the Eris.

How do you dial ##PST on the hero?
- I tried ## then dial, but that didn't work.
can you give a slightly more verbose set of instructions please? - bit of a newb on dialing codes into phone.
Many thanks.
dail ## and what ever number PST equals.
Any feedback on how much this is affecting battery life? I'm not sure if it's better to have quick ringing but worse battery life...

what does PST represent? is it the IMEI number or something? Where do I find the PST number?

Not sure if this works for European Hero. I haven't had my Eris for too long but set at 1 i haven't noticed to much of a difference.
Anyone know where to get the ##PST - as in how do I find out what the PST number is?
Please?

Hello,
I'm missing calls with this unit all the time. When I call the unit, it does not even ring until second or third ring... am I doing something wrong here?
I'm with Fido.
Thanks
I had the same whith ELF . The problem is that it has priority for data connection . (and i can guess that you are checking mail every 5 min with sevelal accounts ). so when it use mail-push ----you miss calls
Solution to my mind is to check mail manualy or not every 5 min
I myself have ELF for telefon and reminder and X7500 only for DATA (mail internet massanger) and as organizer (more convinient to write than with ELF)
You can also call your carrier and ask them to add more time before voicemail picks up. My mother had this problem - picked up after 3-4 rings so she never had time to get it out of her purse. She got it extended to 6-7 rings and now she's fine.
My Athena rings on the 2nd ring, but my Jabra starts vibrating on the 1st, so I haven't had a problem.

Make sure you use a .wav ringtone and not a .wma one
normally there is a 3 second delay. Try changing the registry to remove the delay
You've just to edit the follwing reg value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
edit "Script" value to apw0r
that's a zero in apw0r
Another issue that effects the time to ring is the type of ring tone. .wav files will ring quickest.
I just found a long list of registry hacks, and one of them might be very useful for this thread - you can change how the phone rings/handles incoming calls. Maybe playing around with this you can get your phone to ring sooner?

after i did all the updates. (dcd new rom , 3.27 radio, gps finder, tomtom, vista phone dialer and the htc home plugin) i have trouble making a call.
It will just stay in the dialing screen and bam! call ended......its doing this so opften that i just spent a half hour tring to make a call..........no luck.......
i usually have 3 bars but sometimes 2 but that was always good enought before.
I've had this problem a few times as well.. even more often, I make a call and it calls out, but I have no audio (I can't hear them, they can't hear me). A soft-reset always fixes both these problems.

thats not my prob.....my prob is the call wont get connected period it says dialing then goes straight to call ended.
have you tried a soft reset? that fixes it for me.
sure would be nice to find out what causes it, though.
(I meant that I have both the problem you mention as well as the other variation, each in its turn)
you need your msid number

nope i dont
Ever since I have upgraded (and boy do I mean that in every sense of the word, thanks DCD) my dialing from the phone screen has been painfully slow... one of those things that just throws off your rhythm trying to dial because the numbers and touch tones do not show up until after a delay.... so basically you are not sure if you dialed the right numbers until waiting to see what comes out OR you ave to go VERY slow to make sure that there are no mistakes. It is a one digit at a time delay... dial a number and wait or dial them all and they slowly show up with even timing.
I hope there might be an idea... I won't go as far as reloading it... I have it too perfect right now... I wouldn't remember where to start and I don't have the time to reinstall everything anyway. Just the same... any thoughts or suggestions are gratefully accepted.
Some of the replacement dialers/contact programs with their own dialers look up your contacts as you dial, if you have a very large contact list it can drastically slow down your dialing. Try turning off smartdialing temporarily and see if it clears it up.

also have you turned off the dialing tones. that slows it down too

WE HAVE A WINNER!
THANK YOU!!! (What a relief!)
(Thank you too maniakx)
I saw a tweak or something the other day that said to make the phone answer calls faster. Is there such a thing? I did a test call and it seemed to take about 4 to 5 seconds before my phone rang. Not sure if there is such a thing, but was just curious.
search for diamond tweak works well for me

in qpst change slot cycle index from 2 to 1
noob question. What is QPST?
Thanks Rob
QPST is the Qualcomm Product Support Tool. It's an application developed by Qualcomm for cellular phones that feature Qualcomm chipsets. It features a file explorer, factory test tools, low level communication settings, RF calibration tools, roaming list editor, service programming tool, and more.
The only issue I have with QPST is that it asks me to select a phone model, and none of them seems right....
just type in your dialer ##778 Code and enter your MSL code.. once in the programming go to Modem and slot cycle index..
##778 Send or maybe ##778# depending on which carrier your with.
I got to the slot cycle thing with ##778#, but it would allow me to change it from 2

you must have been in view mode.. you have to click on edit and enter your msl
how do i find my unlock code? also, can you explain exactly what slot cycle index changing to 1 does? i want to understand what's happening before i do it.
Here is a copy/paste from the PPCGeeks forum. Hope this helps.
"You can tweak your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) to make your phone poll the tower more often. This makes your texts and phone calls come through quicker. This setting is a trade off between lag (most noticeable when receiving calls) and battery life. The default value on our phones is 2. Every step of 1 adds 1.28 seconds to the poll time, so at a value of 2 it is only polling every 5 seconds or so. Most people lower this to 1, so the phone polls every 2.5 seconds. This won't affect battery life much in areas of good coverage, but may impact it noticeably if you're in a poor reception area. Your Access Overload Class (ACCOLC) determines your phone's priority on the cell tower. The higher the number, the lower the priority. Do note that 0 and 1 are reserved for emergency service uses, so DO NOT use these. You can ACCOLC's of 2-9, default on Sprint should be the last digit of your phone number."
ok, but what's my unlock code to change that?
Another option:
The HTC Dialer Skin on the is pretty.... slow to load, at least that's the consensus. Skywing gave us the following registry tweak:
In:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin
Set ext to \windows\PhoneCanvas.dll
Rename the DIALER/PROGRESS folders, possibly: oldDIALER/oldPROGRESS
This will give you the default WM Dialer Skin, which appears to load faster.
With this, you will lose your bluetooth icon from the taskbar, however everything functions properly. I believe you also lose the ability to adjust in-call volume..
htc dialer good, wm dialer bad lol
ok i got my MSL. thanks for the tweaks guys. they work great!
one question though. you say not to use 1 for ACCLOC (or whatever the f*@#ing acronym is lol) my buddies phone is set to 1. does that mean i can use 1 or should i leave it at 2?
My Access Overload Class is already on 0 on my new stock uncustomized yet 6850. Wiki seems to indicate that the system is only in use in Britain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACCOLC YMMV since I really know nothing about it.
goggle search: baf msl grabber
I did a search and couldn't find anything. I don't frequent these boards either so if anyone has reported this problem, please direct me to the right post...
I am using Community Rom 1.3 with the Nitro Honeycomb 4.3 theme.
I am having a problem to where when I call a phone number that uses touch tones to select options. Example: Press 1 for English...etc. Pressing the number on the number pad does not do anything. I've tried normal and speaker mode.
Anyone else experiencing this problem or know of a fix?
Thank you!!
I know it worked when I had my old cell phone but I haven't used my Fascinate that way yet. I checked the Settings - Call Settings and found a setting for DTMF tones. Maybe it would help to set it to the Long option? Good luck!
Hey, I just Googled and found this:
http://lgknowledgebase.com/kb/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=6452
Using the same setup, my keypad works just fine. The keys don't make any noise (I have touchtones turned off), but was able to make my selections without issue

Changing the DTMF to "Long" worked great! I should have thought of that. I really appreciate the reply.
