Quicker Ring Response

This was originalyy posted by "ELKAY" over on the pdaphonehome.com forums...

"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)."

i used a setting of "1" after getting my msl from tech-support....
Did a soft boot to be safe then checked it and made sure the setting stayed...

i noticed a very good improvement in response time and ill post back tomorrow on battery difference if there is one at all....
