Delay in ringing when receiving calls?

[battlemac]

I want to see if anyone here experiencing a delayed ring? I.E. when someone calls you it takes 3 maybe even 4 rings before your phone rings? My last phone, WM i760 took 1&1/2 to 2 before the cell rang, and both are using the same ringtone(even with default ringtone the results are the same). Is this normal? Is there any way I can decrease the amount of delay(on my i760 there was a phone code I could dial to get into a special phone mode to adjust the delay)? Thanks.

##PST Send
Edit Mode
Enter 000000 Press OK
Modem Settings
Slot Cycle Index
Change Value (Lower values ring faster)
OK
Menu
Commit Modifications
Press OK to reset the device. OK

After that your device should reboot and you should be good!

Beware, Reducing the slot cycle can reduce battery life which could be an issue on the Eris.

They said the same thing about the battery being decreased on my previous phone but I never noticed it. I do have plans for going to a larger battery at some point in the near feature(i hear the Sprint Hero just got a 2100mah battery announced).

I'm using a value of 1 right now and have not noticed any difference at all in battery life. It did make a big difference in ring time however. I'm now between 1-2 rings instead of 3-4 rings.

I just noticed this is the same thing I did with my previous phone and that was at a value of 1 also. I just did a test and about quarter of a second after the second ring, my phone rang. This about on par with my i760. I might move to the setting to 0 once I get an extended battery

Thanks!
