There's so much information here, so could you provide a simply summary of steps to reduce the number of rings.
What do you mean by "Advance tab"?
This is the only step I've seen laid out. I already have this unchecked.
Questions:
Are there any other steps in our handset settings that we can do to decrease the number of rings?
If so, please list the steps.
i.e. in the format of:
Menu --> Settings --> etc.
There's a lot of other technical information listed in your thread. I'm not sure what specific steps can be done, if anything, to imrove this further.
I'm also not sure if some of these can be improved via the handset (i.e. Menu --> Settings --> (perform additional steps)
vs.
what's not handset related.
Please distinguish.
Please list any other specific steps that we can do, handset or non-handset, the steps, and pro's and con's (i.e. battery life) if any such steps are applicable. Thank you again for your diligence in this matter.

haha, yea, sometimes I get a little scatterbrained
Basically, here are the steps:
1. make sure you have a grasp on what the actual issue is and what is causing the lag (read the post I quoted by big_z).
2. Call Sprint Advanced Technical Service (the number is in my previous post) and explain to them that you would like to change your Slot Index Cycle from '2' to either '1' or '0'. This is done by going to the phone dialpad and typing in ##3282#. After you hit the last '#' symbol, it's going to say "initializing" and it's going to want to know if you want to go into "view mode" or "edit mode". You want to get into "edit mode", and here is where you need the help of Sprint Support. if you hit "edit mode", it asks for a password, this is your MSL number, which you must get from the Sprint representative. Once you have this, you go to the "Advance" tab in the "edit mode". scroll down to Slot Index Cycle (it's going to be set to '2)...tap it and change it to '0'. Once back in the "edit menu" hit the hard button menu button (next to the trackball) to bring up the save option to save your new settings. This will save and reboot the phone (no, you won't lose anything, it's just a soft reboot).
Once you've done this, you're good to go. The only other option that I changed was the Roaming Alert (which you've said you already have unchecked). These steps have helped big time.
The only thing you need from the Sprint Rep when you call, is your MSL number, but you have to have them help you through the steps, because they won't just give you your MSL number if you ask for it. As long as you sound like you know what you're doing, they'll help.
If you are still confused, just ask and I'll try to explain again.
