If your ringtone is a large file and/or it's on the storage card, you will have a long delay before the first ring. When you get a call, the phone wakes up and has to then initialize the storage card which takes time, and then it has to read the file from the storage card which is slower than main memory.

And also what GGuru said about signal and too many running processes or apps set to run or trigger when the phone is woken up.

This is a known issue, but the fix was hard to find. I found some docs that helped me fix this a while back, and did a write up here:

Hope this helps!

This is most likely a software problem, not a hardware one. I just posted the same link in response to another message in this thread, but I had such a hard time finding the info, I wanted to make sure people having this problem saw the link:

Good luck!

i'm not sure i want to try that, although i did mod my bluetooth gps last night to let it accept commands (so i can turn vtg on).

Nice Find.

It's hardware - it might be addressable in software, but it's fundamentally a hardware problem. Refer to this http://pinouts.ru/Devices/mini-USB_pinout.shtml for the pinout description, which explains why the solution you found works. Clearly, some power sources are a little smarter than others.

BTW, I don't recommend the solution you found of shorting out the pins...there should be a pull down resistor in there to protect your device.

It absolutely works, and isn't too difficult. It probably is easy to burn out the charger if you accidentally join the wrong pins together, but I'd be susprised if anyone damaged their device doing this.

That said, I accept no responsibility for any damage encurred as a result.

PS: See post #235 for more learned info about this. Apparently bridging the pins isn't as safe as I'd originally thought, but I can still attest that my device is not damaged in any way I can perceive, and I've been using my modified charger daily since the beginning of June -- 5+ months.

Cool -- thanks for the clarification. I'm pretyt sure it's addressible by software, since the last WM5 OEM update released by Sprint did address the problem, however the version that Verizon had did not. I now know enough that I could possibly have figured out how to apply the core parts of the Sprint ROM, with the Verison OEM pieces, but I must say I'm *much* happier running Helmi_c's WM6 ROM. :)

Now my wife's Motorola cell phone won't accept any charger except for the one that came with it, and says unfriendily instead, "Not Authorized". A bug I can deal with, but deliberatly locking me out of a standard connection just to get me to buy another charger is totally lame. ](*,)

But I digress...

As long as you don't bridge the power pin (1) to anything else, you'll be fine. Bridging the gnd pin to a data pin won't hurt it, but it sure won't work as a data cable anymore. For a power supply, you're not using the data pins anyway.

I wonder how my USB to miniUSB cable is wired.... When I find my meter, I'll test it. If anyone else wants to test, check the resitance between pins 4 and 5 of the miniUSB connector.

Crud.
Can someone look at this build log and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I modified my ringtones along with the RGU, ran it through the DSM builder and now it's all fershimmelled.
Attaching the RGU file also.

You have an extra comma at the end of the first key.
