the ring lag fix is a HOAX!!

[jeffreynothing43]

hey.

just wanted to let you dedicated hero fans know...

i just got a 'spare' hero and i'm mod'ing the crap out of it and trying a bunch of stuff.

anyhow...during all this trial and error i adjusted my slot index cycle to 7 and rebooted - did the same thing with 0.

THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME!! THERE IS NO FIX. hehe.

if you don't believe me. try it. take 6 minutes total with reboot time and prove to yourself that this setting changes nothing.

ok.

that's all. just thought i should end this rumor.

Changed mine to 0 and went from 3-4 rings to 1-2 rings.

Changed mine to 0 and went from 3-4 rings to 1-2 rings.

+1 - I tested it when I changed the SCI and it improved, without ANY doubt.
Same as quoted, down to between 1-2 rings.

Regards!

hehe...maybe this ring lag has something to do with signal...cuz honestly, it didn't change a thing for me...

i had 1-2 rings on every setting. 0-7.

I have always had 1-2 rings... unrooted and rooted... never changed my slot cycle index either... I do have an airave at home.. not sure if having 5-6 bars at all times makes a difference.

I tested it when I changed it and it worked great for me. I went from 4 rings before my phone was ready to be answered to 2 rings. I like the extra time to get to my phone.

Adjusted mine down and with out question I am at 1 to 2 rings. Tested and confirmed. This is reproducible. I adjust it back up and the ring count goes up. You are the Hoax.

Try updating your profile and prl... give it a shot. That might help.

Worst case... you might want to think about a Master Reset of the phone and starting from scratch. PAinful, I know... but if the ring lag is causing you to miss calls then that's not good.

Let us know how it goes.

:coo:

I did the update last night and called my phone a couple times this morning. Seems to ring at about 1.5-2 rings. Is that an improvement? I'm okay with that...but would be good if it actually rang more closely to 1 ring consistently.
