I've been having the same problem, rycelover. Are you using Slide2unlock, per chance?

No, I don't have S2u installed on mine. I'm going to try installing 1.40 radio right now and see how it goes tomorrow.

i used the 2.17 for about 3 days and noticed the problem too, unfortunately i don't think its related to the 1.47.01 radio version...

I upgraded back to WM5 last night but kept the 1.47.01 radio and there's no delay at all when hitting the answer key to pick up a call...

LOL you had to post this while I'm 92% done with uploading 1.40 radio, didn't you???

you know what though, i could have swore someone on here the other day said they went back to the 1.40 radio and they had better results...so who knows...good luck...and let us know

If I call my Mogul from my home land line, I hear the line ring twice before the mogul rings for the first time. Even if I hit the green phone button within 1 second of first hearing the ringer, the person calling me will hear a minimum of three rings. I had someone point this out to me today when I answered the phone.

I already set SCI to 1.

I am on 2.17 and 1.47.01.

Sigh...I may try setting SCI to 0 - but I want more positive feedback from folks that have tried it regarding possible side effects (battery life, whatever)

Slot Cycle Index will just make your phoone ring faster since it's searching for incoming calls more frequently per second- this also decreases battery life- not to menton won't solve your connection problem. i'd leave it alone.

The posted problem is not a delayed ring, but a delayed connection AFTER the "answer" button is pressed.
I have the same problem and I am also running spb mobile shell.

any help would be appreciated.

Don't want to point fingers but I think it may be mobile shell.
I had mobile shell and phone suite both installed before the 2.17 ROM and I had the same problem. I chalked it up to the wonderful ROM that HTC provided us and didn't think more about it. After doing the ROM upgrade, I took a more cautious approach to installing goodies. Anything major (that could dink my Mogul) that I installed, I tested the phone and BT functions first. Needless to say, I don't have the problem anymore and don't have mobile shell installed either. Here is what I got...

SPB Phone suite, Diary, PocketPlus, Weather
S2u2 .86
codyppc performance booster cab
eWallet
HTC Performance cab
Inesoft Address Book
PDANet
Threaded SMS
Leo's HTC cube

I have the problem, despite not having Mobile Shell installed.

cross check against the list of programs I have installed listed in the first post - do you have any of those third party programs?
