19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER

To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)

Rock on, thanks man.

Here's what I got when I did a search for "slow ringer"

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/search.php?searchid=322012

Then when you open a thread if you go to the top right corner you can do a search within just that thread even if it is many pages long.

I had to set mine to 0 to get it to ring right away.

Welcome to the forums

Dude I HATE people like you, you all dont think people search first they do, but use different words, thats how i found this, thanks for the link, but dont be so harsh, thats just mean!

I set it to 0 and sometimes the phone would not ring at all. Sometimes I would receive a voice mail couple hours later. Same goes for text messages. Sometimes it comes right away, but sometimes it takes a while.
So I tried setting it at 1 and the problem went away. Anyone experience this or is it just my phone or my service area?

Ok, and for those of use that don't have the MSL?!

Let's all try to refrain from calling anyone out or complaining. We're all geek brothers and sisters here...so let's remember to show a bit of class and respect.

Thanks for your understanding and remember to drink plenty of water!!!

late,

I won't link to the thread, I'll just tell you how to do it.

Dial ##778#
Click View
Copy down your ESN (Hex).
Download Get SPC to your phone.
Run Get SPC and enter your ESN (Hex).
Copy that number down, which is your MSL.

Done.
