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)

When done, reset the device.

This is about the only registry hack I have tried to do other than the NAI Modem hack. Only thing is, I can't get the dialer to dial the code. Which dialer is it that prevents you from dialing phone codes such as ##778#? Is it the Picture Speed Dialer or the dialer that changes the actual dial for numbers? A friend of mine gave me a code to use in order to get the MSL, but it doesn't work while a dialer is in use, I'm trying to figure out which one. I was able to uninstall my dialer, but I can't uninstall the Picture Speed Dialer. I've just about uninstalled everything, but its still there.
