Are you saving the changes?

Also, the program to aquire your MSL is GetSPC. You should be able to Google it, and it will probably link to some thread on here.

I agree with everything you said. If you set it to 0, it SWALLOWS the battery. 1 is peeeerrrffect. look for some of the battery tweaks to offset the extra consumption.

" 19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER

To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)"
