long delay [3-4 seconds] answering incoming calls w/ new 2.17
 

One major bug I've noticed after installing the new 2.17 ROM is that it takes an inordinately long amount of time to answer an incoming call - whether it's through BT headset or using green hard key or "answer" soft key. The call comes in and ringer would ring and notification would come up with caller ID; I answer the call [using any of the three methods] and would have to wait at least 4 seconds before the call would connect. The ringtone stops immediately when I answer the call, but the call does not connect right away.

I have these items installed:

WtTasks
Quickmenu
Rescoe explorer
Today/Agenda
Esmerec Java Manager
VJCandela
TouchPal
SPB mobile shell
SPB phone suite
Slinghann Treo Alerts 8.2
Google Maps
Sprint TV
TCPMP
SPB backup
Rescoe photo viewer

I had the same issue with both roms. There is a registry hack that changed mine from ringing after the 2nd ring to ringing after the first ring.

my problem is not a delay ring; it rings a soon as a call comes in - I tested it with a cell and landline calling my mogul and can tell that the ringtone is not delayed. What is delayed is the call itself, getting a slow connection after I answer the call.

I had the same problem and it was due to radio version 1.47.01. I downgraded the radio to 1.40 and everything is back to normal. Currently using 2.17 rom with radio 1.40. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem . How dow I downgrade to the older radio? Will it erase everything on my phone again?

Is there a registry hack to fix the problem?????

If you use one of the RUU's to update your radio then it will Hard Reset your phone.

I thought there was an RUU that didn't Hard Reset and that's why the Mogul was stuck in boot loader?

i haven't had a problem, myself. but i changed the sci to 0 also (instead of defaulted 2).

How do you do that?

there's a thread....i'll do the work other people would have you do, and find it for ya...

okay, couple windows...and voila. you want item 19 (if i remember correctly from the window)

and, it says 'top left' something something...for me, it was wrong. left soft key brought up a list of things, from which to select the modem settings dealy. i didn't have a 'top left' option. i suspect you won't either, seeing as how the keys are defaulted to the bottom. anyhoo, you'll still have to contact your provider (in my case sprint) to find out your msl. just tell them that you need to change your sci. the first person you talk to probably won't have a clue what you're talking about, and they'll transfer you. anyhoo, it can't be a bad thing to know, so just deal with customer service for a while, but make sure you get the msl, and write it down. you may need it in the future (like i did for redoing this damn thing when i redid the ROM). it does help in getting the call faster, and i haven't noticed a drop in battery length (although, i'm happy with anything where i don't have to charge every 10 hours, which is what i was having to do with my last phone. THAT BLOWS, btw).

there are some other helpful hints in there in that thread as well

I've seen that reg edit # 19, but it solve the problem - my problem is not a slow ringer, where the caller complains that I don't pick up the phone, the problem lies in the fact that the phone rings just fine, it's just that I can't connect the call after I hit the green call button, or use the hard "answer" button or hit the soft "answer" button.
