Common NAM Performance Tweaks.

man, you weren't kidding when you said that this might effect battery performance. i'm torn on if i want to keep this tweek.

Does the ACCOLC change battery performance?... or just changing the SCI?

ACCOLC will not impact battery performance, simply give you more priority over other callers.

SCI can absolutely impact battery performance. Personally i am generally in a metro area where i see no negative impact, however if your in a coverage challenged area you may see more usage.

the SCI....determines how often a handset polls the network for coverage and incoming packets.

my default is 2? if i change it to 1 or 0.. that would enhance the data transfert...?
or just slight better coverage?

advantage to put this value beyond 2? 3-4-5 ... better battery life?

Generally the SCI really just makes your phone ring quicker for incoming calls. It won't speed up data at all and doesn't really help with coverage.

You do understand that the reason it allows your phone to ring quicker is because your handset is polling the network more often, updating the network of its location and status.

Updating the network status this way means it is also looking at the nearby sites which allows your handset to determine its coverage, this is why it impacts battery life. If you are in low coverage your phone will use more juice "looking" for the network.

Lets not forget that .6 watts is the maximum output of the CDMA radio. The handset dynamically adjusts its output based upon coverage quality. If it ran at full power all the time you would get little life and have a fairly physically hot handset. (Ouch for GSM which is 1 full watt - cook you faster!).

So lemme get this straight, 0-1 are emergency sets on the SPRINT network right? lower number is higher priority, unlike on some other networks?

You have the idea

If Networks use ACCOLC here in the US it follows the above mentioned protocol.

In the UK they use a completely different ACCOLC which includes double digit numbers and higher numbers have priority.

Enter the handset programming mode by going to the phone screen and dialing

##778# ( alternate carrier ##778 ) or ##PST#


"View, Edit, or Cancel" (SEE IMG1)

Choose "Edit" It will ask for your MSL, enter this number now.

It won't accept my MSL code... weird.. I know it's the right one, I used it when I had to program the MDM and MSID.... It thinks for a few seconds then it says "Check unlock code failed. Please input again" any ideas?

just to refresh, be sure your using all CAPS w/HEX ESN.

Other than that, i am unsure. I will research.
