Alltel Touch Pro opinion needed?
 
I got my Alltel Touch pro in Dec, well I'm running the Telus Radio but I just seem to have a lag with incoming calls snd sometimes it will go to voice mail instead of ringing. Should I just relock the phone and take it to Alltel for a excahnget? I guess what should I say the problem is? I don't want to draw attention about the Radio rom. Should I say the phone seems to freeze and I hard set it a few times? Since there is no damage and it would be under HTC warranty?

My ppc6800 had liquid damage and I had to pay a 95.00 detuctible and they gave me the pro touch for replacement.

Or should I just try a diffferent radio? Sprint did't seem as good I thought. The telus if thats the cause it was acting up in town with full bars phone ring once on 2 different incoming calls.

Well any suggestions in what I should tell alltel would be helpful. Since I do have a different radio on it. I locked the phone with the stock rom. The battery life seems very terrible after just talking on a call also.

Do the slot cycle index hack, changing the slot cycle from 2 to 1, and disable the tf3d dial skin and you'll gain 1-2 rings.

The new sprint radio is probably worth trying too.

I jsut don't think thats the problem, I have a feeling the Allel radio probably best matched the phone after all but still battery life isn't great either way.

I will give it another try, what rom are you most happy with? There are so many now I know some do improve battery life when I gave them a try.

But maybe the Alltel radio was the perfect match for there touch pro and the only way is to take it back under warranty with a little BS. :)

Say what you will, you asked for advice & I gave it to you. I have an Alltel Touch Pro, and am using the Telus radio. I know of the lag you speak of, but thats not a radio issue. I tested this last week. Called my phone before any hack, rang maybe twice on my phone before going to voicemail. The phone calling mine rang a total of 4 times, so I didnt hear the first 2. I did the slot cycle index tweak and removed the tf3d dialer skin and gained 7 seconds on my ring time, just under 2 whole rings. And I read somewhere the first ring a caller hears is a false connection ring. Try taking my advice before you dismiss it.

And by the way, Conflipper is THE MAN as far as Alltel custom roms go. He should be posting an updated rom any day now.

Hi, I'm not saying your wrong or anything like that, I never had the problem until I was actually in a strong signal area. I appreciate all the help from all members.

Do me a favor and try what I suggested and let me know what you think, if you still have a problem then just call Alltel customer service and tell them the phone is missing calls. They'll run you through some trouble shooting steps, including a hard reset, and if it doesnt solve your problem they'll more than likely send you a warranty replacement. I've had much better luck in dealing with 611 customer service than in store reps. Conflipper suggested to someone in a different thread to flash to the 1.03.15f Alltel Diamond radio before returning it, they probably wouldnt notice the difference.

First thing I did when I got my TP was lower the index to 1. It helps.
