Thank you! What does faster tower checks really mean? Quicker polling from the phone for a tower? Won't this be a battery drain? I'm not sure how this will help since the phone actually lights up pretty quickly on an incoming call, it's just the actual ringer that takes a while after that to start ringing. I.e. the phone already knows there's an incoming call, it's just not actually sounding the ringer yet.
I'm not knocking your advice in any way, just trying to understand what this is will actually do.
Thanks.
