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)

##778# Does nothing for me.. Is it because I am using the Touch dialer or am I just doing something wrong. I press that sequence and nothing happens. It doesnt even give me an opportunity to enter my MSL code.

The TOUCH dialer disables # codes and many other things. It's been disucssed on pdaphonehome and I believe someone is looking to port this over to our phone.
