Re: I Need Opinions Please
Unfortunately, this is what you have to put up with when you're on Sprint (I had the exact same problems for two years on Sprint)
All those problems disappeared when I switched to Verizon. I'm no big fan of verizon as a company, but I never ever miss a call & my texts go through & receive immediately (& we use texts ALL THE TIME where I work & it is pretty important that they go through when they're supposed to) ~John |

Re: I Need Opinions Please
have you tried updating your prl and profile in the settings menu? That could make a difference if you are behind a couple prl versions. You could also try unlocking the phone and flashing a different radio to see if you get any better service in the areas you are in. Sprint is the only cell company I have ever had and I have never had anything like that happen to me.

Re: I Need Opinions Please
jmorton10 - Agreed, I'm in the same position you are and I'm constantly texting 24/7. I didn't like Verizon at the time because they didn't have unlimited texting.
lwrdrchvy2 & razorloves - Yes I have updated the PRL, Profile and tried doing the Windows Update as well. I flashed a new Radio last night, the Telus one or something. I'm thinking about hard resetting my phone in a bit. I actually only had delays today, after the radio flash. I think at least I get a better connection in my apartmeant now. hbenz2008 - Yeah before I switched over not to long ago I had the Samsung Blade SPH-A900 since it first came out. I didn't know they discontinued the phone until like last year sometime because I wanted to buy a new one. I got a refurbished one and it's pretty messed up. I mean it's gone through a lot of ****, it's really tough and built. But I either wasn't getting my text messages or even maybe phone calls. I at least was getting my Picture Mail just fine. See I only notice text message delay on this phone because of the text messaging layout and the time it was sent. I'm really picky with phones. :/ What I have installed on my phone: Everything is updated Programs in storage memroy: Sprint Picture Mail Banzai SMSNoSentMsg Customization Tools Wei Enterprises nueKBlight Sprint Touch Pro Tweaks Google Maps Microsoft .NET CF 3.5 J.S. Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 Ps. They say my area is like the best area for coverage and what not, if I remember correctly. Last edited by BikerSk8rKid; 05-09-2009 at 06:10 PM. |

Re: I Need Opinions Please
Have you checked what your slot cycle index is set at in your PST settings? I copied and pasted this from the Touch Pro Essentials thread...
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. |

My problem is, how do I access this? My last four digits is 0658 so yeah, random. LoL Also I never had a problem with phone calls before, until now or that I noticed at least. I don't see why phone calls would lag though, it should just go straight through. Not like not get it or a missed call. Edit: That almost makes Sprint sound liike it has horriable tower response or whatever you would call it. Sorry, I'm like out of it, way stressed out, up set and irratated. I lost my second job over this stupid ****. :/ Then I'm having other problems on the side, just coming at me all at once sucks. My Verison of Device Information: Should I copy and paste what I have, because that might help or explain more. Last edited by BikerSk8rKid; 05-09-2009 at 06:34 PM. |

Re: I Need Opinions Please
First, use this to get your MSL http://www.baf.cc/bafmsl.
Then dial ##778# and choose edit and then enter your MSL. Then click "View Info" then select "Modem Settings". Then you'll see the Slot Cycle Index, and just change the value to 1. |
