So, I upgraded my PPC 6700 Sprint and now it seems to frequently ring only 1 time or 1/2 of a ring before going to voicemail. I know it likely has something to do with polling the towers.
What do I need to modify in the registry to make it "Talk" to the tower more often so I don't miss these incoming calls? Also, just send some $$ to Helmi who should be rewarded for his efforts.

You can change your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) from the default of 2 (which polls the tower every 5 seconds or so) to 1 or even 0. I have been running mine on SCI 0 for about 6 months now if someone calls my phone, it'll pick it up in less than 2 seconds (about 1 ring on the caller's phone) and start ringing. You can always tell you have an inbound call as the screen lights up about 200ms before it displays the Incoming call window. Your phone should now ring for about 10 seconds before going to voicemail. To change it, you have to enter programming mode with your MSL and Lock Code. You can dial *2 and specifically ask for it (and even tell them what you're doing; they won't care/understand anyway). I did this hack in about 2 minutes before boarding a plane at Sea-Tac, fyi. It made a difference immediately. Now, on HowardForums, I read up that the SCI set on your phone doesn't matter -- the tower has priority over the phone for this. So, the tower should allow you to receive calls quickly if it is configured properly and isn't under heavy load..otherwise it may adjust the settings overall to improve quality of service. Setting your phone to this setting may have no effect. You'll have to report back on the effects if you decide to do this.

So after 40 minutes on hold and talking to 2 different Sprint Employees I got my MSL.
After you get your MSL from sprint you need to enter on the phone pad: ##775# then enter the MSL Then go down to Modem Settings Selected 0. We'll see how this works. Man, they really didn't want to give me the MSL. Hell, I have been with sprint since 1997 ....Like I am going anywhere? Maybe Apple will wake up and get that new Ipod Touch -WIMAX friendly with Sprint. (VOIP) with 16gb of Flash. Now that would be a kick ass PDA Smartphone.

Had my first DSOD. Two of them. Yesterday.
 No software added over the weekend. Only changes were to some settings in phoneAlarm and added a few ringtones.

Been running several days now!
This build is incredibly stable. Well done Helmi!
 I dropped my XV6700 last weekend and the sound stopped working. Just to make sure it wasn't s/w I reflashed to the released AKU2 and that didn't fix it. Since I couldn't get to Verizon for a couple of days to replace the device, I decided to try this WM6 ROM and see if my required apps would work, particularly GoodLink and SlingPlayer Mobile. No problems for either of those as far as I could tell. Anyway, reflashed to the standard AKU2 again, went to Verizon and got my phone replaced. I was 3 months away from my 2 year anniversary and wondered whether that $5/month insurance policy would pay off... it did - 30 minutes later I walked out with a new device, went home and immediately upgraded to Helmi's ROM. Unfortunately after replacing the device, my GoodLink restore doesn't work. I'm hoping it's because I switched devices and just need to reinstall with a new GL PIN. Will try that on Monday. But with the WM6 ROM, I am so happy with this thing; When my 2 years is up, I had expected to replace my device (if they ever decide to ship the 6800). But now, I don't see a reason to - especially with the new device I just picked up. Update: Got GoodLink working again. That means I really can stick with this ROM for good (well, at least until there's a kitchen available and I can tweak it a bit). I feel like I have a brand new phone!

okay I dont quite understand what youre saying so do this.
1. put phone into bootloader mode (unplugged from pc) it will say "Serial #.##" where the #s are version numbers. 2. connect your phone to your pc and if it says its installing drivers wait till its done. 3. extracts contents of the rar file to your desktop (or any other folder). 4. double click the .exe that pops out of the rar file, then follow any onscreen instructions from the .exe
