So i have had my hero for a couple of months now, and ive been noticing i get voicemail notifications without my phone ever even ringing, i was hoping u guys could help me out and to see if you guys have the same problem
so i had my friend sitting right next to me and he called me, it took like 8+ rings on his side before my phone actually began ringing on my side and then after 2 rings that i heard on my side the phone went straight to voicemail.
but it didnt happen all the time, sometimes my phone rang right after we heard 2 rings on his side, which i think is normal
now i use google voice, i was wondering if you guys experience this as well? and if so do u use google voice or normal voicemail.
also i think its worth to mention i changed my phones meid to match my old lg rumor. so it is a cloned phone, but the original donor phone is always off with the battery out.
this problem sucks cuz people call me and in essence i dont pick up their calls because my phone sometimes doesnt ring n people think i ignore them...
I haven't ever had that problem (and I also use GV). But you can change your slot cycle to tell it to poll the tower more often which might help you. Now there is going to be an extra delay because of GV, but it shouldn't take 8 rings. If this doesn't work then there might be something causing a slow down on your phone which is why it takes a while to realize it's ringing, or it might be the MEID swap causing strange things.
##3282# Set slot cycle index to 1. Your phone will poll towers more often and will respond to incoming texts and calls faster.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1391130
this was set to 2 so hopefully this works, what about 0?
0 might drain your batt faster then normal
So I went to "##3282#" to make a change and it wouldnt let edit anything because it asks for password, anybody know what could be the password?
The password is actually your phones individual MSL#. It can be obtained by calling Sprints tech support. They might refuse to give it to you, but just tell them what you want it for and they probably will.
had my MSL thankfully since i make notes for all my sprint calls.
thanks for this tip - hope it helps me out too!
I just did this, lets see what happens.
Any updates on this? I am set to 0 for slot cylcle but consistently get more than 2 rings before my phone rings.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think slot 0 is reserved for police and other first responders. You're not supposed to use it without permission.
I believe I read somewhere that changing the slot cycle index on the phone itself will not actually change anything, except that it may drain your battery faster. As I understand it, the tower's setting for that attribute will override end-user devices' settings.
FWIW, I changed it on my Hero, and it made exactly zero difference in the ring delay (timed in seconds). If you watch a timestamped kernel debug log when a call comes in, you can see that it simply takes the phone a long time to get its sh*t together and start ringing. This is common across HTC phones. Piss-poor design for a phone if you ask me.
My phone takes 2-3 rings on the callers end before my phone rings, this would be fine if it didn't go to voice mail after 6 rings. Is there any way to change how many times the phone rings before it goes to VM?

According to Sprint's latest answer, "no". With past phones, Sprint HAS changed that parameter for me. My previous phone would ring for more than 60 seconds before going to voicemail. Sprint now tells me that is not possible, nor was it ever possible. Obviously, it *was* possible. I didn't just imagine that it would ring for a full minutes.
The ring configuration is actually managed by number of seconds before voicemail, as the number of rings depends completely on what ringtone you use. I forget exactly what number they have it configured for currently (I know its less than 30s), although I do remember that the Hero itself only rings for exactly half of the Sprint-specific time. Sprint did acknowledge that that Hero (and other smartphones) have a problem with the ring time, but they offered no suggestions to fix it.
I was going to use this method to try to reduce my ring delay. When I put in ##DATA# nothing happens on my phone. I know the debug codes work because I can put in *#*#4636#*#* and it brings up a screen. Any ideas why this code doesn't work?

Negative, that is the Access Overload Class.
I have my slot index set to 0 and my ACCOLC set to 2. I make it a full day without charging for whatever it is worth.

SCI - Slot Cycle Index - This determines how often a handset polls thenetwork for coverage and incoming packets. The default value is 2. A"Slot" is 1.28 seconds and doubles with each incremental change from 0to 7 (0=1.28, 1=2.56, 2=5.12 seconds, etc). setting a handset to pollmore often may use noticibly more battery if coverage is thin orlacking.
ACCOLC - Access Overload Class - This code determines your priority tomake and receive calls on the network. Higher the number, lower thepriority. Lower the number, higher the priority. Emergency Servicesreserves 0 + 1 (please do not use these) leaving your choices to 2-9.Years ago we began defaulting this code to the last digit of a usersMIN to help assure equal priority seeding.

I found this thread on the EVO forum and decided WTH I'll try it. Worst that can happen is I have to go back to the stock prl cause it doesn't work. However when I tried it, I have significantly less ring delay "lag" and not one call has gone directly to VM. Hope it helps everyone that is having this problem. Please report back with results.
BTW I had no hand in figuring this out I am just passing on my findings. all credit goes to techknowfile.

I tried this just for the heck of it and not 10 minutes after I rebooted I kept getting "Error 67 Data Call Failure your Sprint PCS Vision user name or password is wrong"
Maybe I did something wrong, but as soon as I put 60065 back on my phone it went away.
For reference I am in Knoxville, TN

Luckily the area I live in has excellent sprint coverage (better than big red) Just wish we had 4g...one day...
This problem is the main reason why I will be abandoning my hero soon. I have tried at least a dozen different roms and have yet to find one where the phone function ACTUALLY WORKS............ WTF?? My phone usually rings for 2-7 seconds before going to voicemail in a good coverage area, and normally not at all when I'm at my house (poor coverage). I'm currently using the latest Fresh ROM (2.1.2), have done the slot-cycle mod, and have flashed the overclocked kernel, all to no avail. It may be a fine data device, but is a pretty damn pathetic phone.
Heck, I've even cleared my call history (which at 3 weeks old was long enough to lag the dialer for 4-5 seconds every time it was pulled up), and that hasn't helped. It also doesn't help that the phone app crashes on about 1/3 incoming calls.
For all of you who are running wavesecure, don't make the same mistake I did!
Here's wat happened:
I lost my phone after a short walk around the block. I tried to call it to hear if I maybe left it in the pub where I was at the moment.
I called it three times, but the fourth time some ***hole turned my phone off so I succesfully tracked the location a few times and eventually locked it with a message to bring it back to the pub I was in.
This was a big mistake! he never turned it on again. He ended up with a fourhundred euro brick well **** 'm then
I couldn't live without a Hero, so the next day I bought a new one
But my advise to all of you is:
1: Run WaveSecure Preferably cooked into MoDaCo's Custom Rom
2: If your phone gets stolen or if you lose it DON'T LOCK IT, just track the location and the SIM. Until you have enough information to go to the police or something, or go pick it up yourself ofcourse
sorry to hear that buddy...
if someone stole it.. and you lock the phone..
I guess 99% of the time... the phone will go into a trash can
or
they will throw it at the wall to take out their frustration on it, and see how many pieces will hit the ground!!
well its better for it to be trashed than for the thief to sell it and make money.

@1. Absolutely, there is virtually no point in using WS if it isn't in a ROM. You can actually do it to any ROM, since all the update.zip file does is copies the apk file into /system/app instead of /data/app. That way it cannot be uninstalled through the normal 'market' method.
@2. That's a valid point! I suggest people who need to should set a 15minute tracker on it (can be done from the website). I wouldn't suggest manually locking it out, but I might contact the dev and suggest a 'stealth' mode that would allow you to track the phone, and basically turn it into one huge piece of 'spyware' when enabled. Legal issues could be a problem there though, as in nanny state UK, the thief of your phone would have the same rights to privacy of his/her illegal use of you contract as you would have normally.
<Rant>
A friend of mine had their PAYG phone stolen. So I called up for them (because 'I'm good with these sorts of things', apparently, and got the SIM cancelled. I checked the balance on the phone, and they told me there was about £1 off it since the theft. I had answered all the usual security questions like 'How much did you last top up by?' and 'How do you normally top up?' and 'What postcode do you tend to keep your phone in most of the time (ie. overnight)?' etc.
So, I asked them if they could give any details of the usage, and after a bit of polite chat and banter, they said there were quite a lot of SMS messages sent to various numbers, but they couldn't give any more details. I considered escalating this issue, as the account holder was my friend (who was sat beside me at the time listening on speaker phone, and who was happy for me to 'act on his behalf', yet they wouldn't tell us any of the details. They also claimed to not be able to track the Cell-ID of the phone, which I know is nonsense, as their own security question was to do with where the phone is normally kept overnight. If they had given a postcode, that could have been given to the police officer who had been 'assigned' the case.
</Rant>
But the network wouldn't give the info to the 'account holder', so I would strongly recommend that everyone installs WS, at least before 31 Jan, so they get it free on their IMEI for life. That way, you can locate the phone every 15 mins, and also use 'backup' to see their call history/SMS history. Could help get it back, or at least 'intimidate' them if you live in a country where you actually have a right to your own property...
But let's not let this go off-topic, so sorry for the rant, but yes, I think WS is important to be installed to ROM (ie. Modaco)
I looke at this app, but there is a strange behaviour with sms sent with charges because of an international location, am i wrong ?
Ciao
Fred
I've not found any international SMS charges.
AFAIK, they use data for all communications back to the servers. The only times I've seen SMS are that if you forget your PIN, the app will send it via SMS to a buddy (who is usually in your country).
Also during activation, it sends an SMS to you, (but in the UK SMS is free to receive, and calls are free to receive). Also, locking the phone via internet or by SMS will result in an SMS sent from them or another phone, but again it is only receiving the SMS...
Do you pay to receive SMS where you are? Otherwise it seems to use data as its main communication medium.
My latest phonebill was exactly the same as the one before and on WS's site it says that it's completely free of charge for android I recall.
This guy still hasen't turned it on, lost hope a little bit, but I still check every day to be sure.

No i don't pay, but i'm interested in this app - of course !!! - and i read comments on the androlib site about those international sms and charges ...

This app is awesome. For me it nearly beats locale. I lost my phone on a drunken night and did a locator search for it. It pinpointed to the exact location where my phone was. I left my phone with a mate and forgot to get it back. But the sheer usefulness of the locator is a win for me. Yes i would even pay for this app as well!

Sadly no, but it uses google's location service which works with wifi, network, or GPS, so if gps is turned on and you track the phone you get an exact location.

Hmmm. You should maybe send a wipe command to the phone too. If it is ever turned on, all your personal data will be gone from it.
Have you checked the last SIM number in it was yours (I think it's under Track on the WS site)?

Already did, he never turned it on again. Eventually, just to be safe I blocked my SIM via my provider. So now it can't receive SMS's anymore, so I can't give any commands anymore. But if he puts in another SIM I can track it again plus I know his phonenumber so I can terrorise him, or the second better option is to go to the police with his number
Yeah. If they try to use it, WS servers will find out the number. Have you looked at IMEI barring it (presume you're on GSM) via. your network. But it might be more 'fun' not to. Maybe in a while they'll think the heat is off and turn the phone back on with a SIM...
That's when the 'fun' begins Do the police in Netherlands do anything about this sort of thing? Here in the UK they'll do naff all unless you can tell them who's got it or where it is. That's where WS comes in...
Either that, or you could sign them up to loads of premium-rate reverse-billed SMS subscriptions on their no. (presuming that is legal over there cough cough!) That could be quite amusing to sign them up to all these €3 per SMS ringtone and game services. xD
Disclaimer: This idea was your own. Nobody suggested it to you

Hi
As I understand it
Modaco 2.0 has ws in cooked into the sys
So it can not be deleted
Even if you do a hardrest, it will still survive
Oh okey thats smart ^^
my friends always keep complaining me that i never pick up there calls, but most of the time my phone doesn't ring at all. One of my friend even confirmed me by calling my number in front of me, and my phone didn't ring.
what could be the problem. Plz Help!
Another related problem is that i sometimes receive the messages after 10 to 20 minutes of their delivery. And also after sending 3 to 4 messages, the new sent message stays into the sent box and gets delivered after i restart the phone.
Is this the phone problem or something else.

I had the exact same issue with my airtel prepaid number and was not able to find any solution to it...i have changed now to Vodafone prepaid and it works like a charm..
PS : I had this problem not only with my HTC P3400 but also with my HTC Touch...and it vanished just like that after i switched to Vodafone postpaid.
Sorry for the late response

My old sony ericcson phone used to hold an sms in the outbox if i had no signal and send it when i did.
This phone just pops up a very annoying message saying it cant be sent. I live in an area with very poor signal, and really need this phone to try for a while before telling me it cant send.
How can this be done?

Do search and ask around the ROM Development thread.
Pretty sure there's a cab to turn off the annoying notification.
As for the how many times the device should try to attempt sending an SMS before giving up, it should be somewhere in the Messaging setting for SMS/MMS. Please check. But you should consider that it will drain your battery rigorously.
im interested in this too, ur option BumAround doesnt awnser his question. he just wants the phone to see hey i got signal lets send this message i have in my outbox. not letting the phone keep trying to send it. (wich at its highest settings only tries to send it for like 30 seconds.)
@ jamieeeee, your right, is it possible to program the phone to do this? As i ponted out, its not new technology, and im surprised all phones dont do it!
exactly where is the setting to try sending out [messages, be it SMS or MMS] for 30 sec attempt? I thought it was only how many attempts (read: times)
well, if that being the case, no solution that I know of except: (1)experiment with better radio ROM, or (2)install a signal booster at where you live. Sorry.
i asked this question before... but it got brushed off considering that most people on here very seldom help other members.... but yea.. i despise having to constantly retry send over and over until i get better reception and it finally goes through... i would much rather have it just continue trying ON ITS OWN... there has to be a tweak or something which enables something so simple as this... i will continue searching but let me know if you find any updates towards it.. THIS WILL BE VERY USEFUL TO ME... i also live in a area with poor reception... (sucks cause RIGHT when i leave my apartments and onto the streets.. i have 3g...) lame...
I have been asking for since i first came to windows mobile early 2009, havnt found a single thing yet!

Well, but then constantly attempting to send on its own will mean battery drains, don't you think?
What you actually want is a cab that makes the phone on perpetual attempts mode until it succeeded, and then prompt a notice, is it ?
I still believe your best bet is to install signal booster somewhere in your house. Well, upon googling, I stumbled into this survivalist's method, cheap sticker thingy, to this expensive amp/booster.

NO.... i don't "think" that sending a sms will put a drain to the battery.. even when retrying on its own... like the OP has stated.. old flip phones and what not have that ability so i HIGHLY doubt that it would be much different on a far more advanced phone... dont YOU think???
Other phones don't actually make constant attempts at resending the message after it fails the first time...
The unsent message sits in the outbox as a pending task until a signal is detected. When the phone detects a signal, the phone will make another attempt at sending the message, which is then usually successful.
A drain on the battery will only happen if the phone makes continuous attempts at resending the message regardless of whether or not it detects a signal. In this case, if the phone is set to retry every 30 seconds and someone is in an area where there is no signal for say 5 hours, the drain on the batter will be the equivalent of sending 600 messages!
The solution that we need is the first one where the message will in the outbox until the phone detects a signal....

still doubting that *perpetual attempts* of sending out an SMS will NOT drain the batt. oh well, but anyway....
so, the SMS is designed to sit in the outbox until the phone detects decent amount of signal strength to (re)sending out the SMS successfully.
all being said, the OP actually need the *failure message* (due to signal strength or no signal) to be silenced (no pop up window), until the SMS is being sent out successfully.
does it make sense?
I was sitting on the train on my way home a few minutes ago and found a registry key that LOOKs like it might have something to with this:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\Setting\SendRetryIntervalTemp
that's got a value of "5 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60"...
by looking at the value of the key, it looks like it retries 5 seconds after the first failed attempt... then 60 secs between each retry after that and perhaps gives up after the tenth fail?
The registry key is in the "HTCMessaging" folder, which I think is the folder that to covers emails, mms and sms. So it really could apply to any of those three items.
Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge than myself can help shed some light?
btw.. I have not made any attempts to modify or test the above, so if you do, you're doing it at your own risk! Just looks like an interesting key..
i think we're getting close.. someone please

I am using the custom Energy ROM, and i have that exact same reg key, but my phone pops up a message IMMEDIATELY after i hit the send button if there is not enough signal, so either this key is for something else, for the ROM im using has been altered.
It would makes sense if this key was the correct one because when i was using a stock ROM a while ago it did wait for a while before popping the message up. Anyone know what setting has been changed between my Energy ROM and the old stock one? Im guessing its been turned off to save battery.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I live in Australia and today daylight savings for us has just started. We were supposed to put the clocks one hour forward and that is exactly what I did. My time is correct everywhere besides incoming sms messages. They are time stamped exactly an hour behind to what the current time is; i.e my old time. This is a huge inconvenience because when I'm having a conversation via sms, I will send a message and it'll be correctly timestamped and then I'll get a message back time stamped an hour behind, so when I'm looking at the sms messages I have to scroll up to read the newest one received.
I am currently on Tom Codons ROM and a I have just installed the "SMS fix" which I knew wouldn't do anything because Tom Codons ROM is based on the newest ROM available. Is there a way to fix this issue?
Any help is appreciated,
Alex
The way i understand it, the received SMS time-stamp is taken from the network system. Not from the phone clock. At least, that's how it works in our country.
Of all the phone i used, including HD mini, they always work that way. Except a couple of generations of Sony Ericsson feature phones, which would base the time-stamp from the phone's clock. (But the network's time-stamp still show up in the details of the sms.)
Maybe the network needs to adjust their system.
Hey there,
Thanks for your quick reply we shall see if the network systems clock has been changed in the upcoming days.
Thanks
Alex
You're welcome.
Hey all,
I have encountered a similar problem. If I receive 2 SMS of the same contact and I reply, if that all happens in the same minute (and it does ), HTC's Message-stuff puts the messages in the wrong order.
For example, I got an SMS and then I got another, then I reply, HTC will put them in this order:
SMS 1
My Reply
SMS 2
Instead of
SMS 1
SMS 2
My reply
That's because your phone time does not match the network time. Maybe off by a few minutes. Your sent message is stamped with phone time, logically. And received message is stamped with network time. So if you're engage in a continuous exchange, each sent and received messages differ by only a few seconds or minutes, then this kind of incorrect order happens.
Try to sync your phone time with internet time. This will lessen the chances of wrong order. But you can't totally eliminate it 100%. Unless the conversation exchanges happen very slowly (for example, one or both of your compose text slowly), with several minutes gap between each text.

Thanks for the explanation! I thought it was a bug
You're welcome.
Hey there,
Just wanted to confirm that my problem has been fixed. The network finally decided to change its time, resulting in the received messages to be time-stamped correctly.
Thanks bart for clearing up what was causing it. (I was tempted to hard reset lol...)

Wow, great! I like how your network respond to customers. Big company responding to individual users. Very good. Total opposite of HTC tech support.
