Choose Edit
Enter your MSL
Click View Info soft key
Choose Modem Settings
Click on slot cycle index and click Menu soft key
change value to 0 or 1 (lower the number, quicker the tower checks)
Click Menu soft key, then OK
Let phone reset

if your internet is working on your diamond, dont worry about it. my internet wasnt working and it was because my profile was set on 0, not good. should be 1. this fixes it. edit. i may be wrong now that i read the whole post. i thought it was the profile fix. sorry jumped the gun. lol

This will decrease ringer delay. The time between when someone calls you and when your phone starts to ring. If you set to 0 the caller will hear around 1 1/2 rings before your phone starts to ring.

is this something you would want to do?

Just download Diamond Tweak and it has all the registry tweaks rolling into one program. You just go down the list and check/uncheck what you want. It's the best registry tweak program that I've come across...probably the best one out there.

so this checks for cell towers more often?

And that would be correct. It will help you get your calls faster, because they come from the tower quicker, thereby making your phone ring faster.
