Hi guys
Is there a program out there that will sound an audible alert (or vibration) once a current call reaches a set number of minutes?
My current phone plan allows me 10 free minutes per call to a nominated number (with no flagfall!) so in order to make maximum use of this, whenever I call my nominated number, I have to hang up before the 10 minutes are up and then call again.
Is there anything that will keep track of how long the current call has gone for and do a notification once it reaches a set number of seconds/minutes? That way, I will never go over the 10 minutes and enjoy free calls =)
Thanks in adv!

hey champ,
this does the job: http://www.mycnknow.com/Phonesharp.htm quite well!
off topic......that paln sound good! details please...eg. network/plan
cheers guys aussie aussie aussie...!
I have a similar plan to the one mentioned above, my question is...
....anyone out there actually using this software? It'd be great to hear an opinion from an actual user before actually buying it.
..I'd be running it on a softbank X01HT running black 3.5 so I'm guessing compatibility wouldn't be an issue
thanks in advance!
hi friends
i baught imate jasjam yesterday, in the device information call duration is 17 hours incoming and 21 hours outgoing, seller told me he updated the rom from web therefore call duration timing has changed otherwise its a new mobile.
and now i have installed the latest rom 3.62, but call duration timing is same 17 hours incoming and 21 hours outgoing
i am really confused now whether to check it is a new mobile or a used?? can anybody tell me in detail pls, thanks alot in advance
On new mobile, call duration must be zero hours. When update to any other ROM, time duration remains as before upgrade.
This mobile is used.
At least you know its used, there is a way to reset call timers back to 0...
Maybe the seller only used it a few days, or may be only a few months. From their viewpoint it is a "new" phone. Just not from the buyers point of view....
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

I am not getting this error. So maybe this will not fix everyone but it sure has helped me a lot.
Thanks for the reply. Kcarpenter

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.
Guys,
Half of my family is abroad. I’m calling them using international calling card which usually requires two imbedded “w” wait pauses, which allows to release next set of digits, and then again last set. The pause “p” and “,” just don’t work for me – the system response varies from peak hours to after hours. Sometime it’s 1-2 seconds, sometimes it’s 5,6,7 seconds.
Please suggest any workable solution. I read about this problem from PPC 2002 times. Shame on Microsoft that it’s never been fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am also using my HD2 to call India via calling cards (dial91.com).
What I do is, I use pause instead of wait to automate dialing. I have enrolled my number for PIN less dialing and use multiple pauses to space out the various numbers to be sent. Hope this helps...
Dear All,
I am facing endless problems with my Nubia Z17 mini that I recently purchased, and I need help to solve these issues. The issues are
a. The phone does not receive SMS, and I have to take out the sim card, reboot just to receive SMS. It makes the phone completely useless for financial transaction as I have to accept the bank's OTP by SMS
b. The phone can make a call, but when receive the call, there is no sound.
c. Delay notification for WhatsApp, line, emails, facebook, you name it. It only shows after 15 minutes or so.
d. The 4G LTE connection only works on sim 1, on sim 2, it stuck on 3g. I have swapped the sims and use other sims to test. The results are the same. Is this by default from Nubia?
e. Battery drain on background extremely fast, unusual for standby phone. The phone only last for 4-hour SOT with brightness 50%. Why is the power consumption very high?
f. When I try to watch video on youtube (online) or offline players, the video will stop intermittently, average every 1 minutes for an unknown reason. Make it unpleasant to use it to watch any video.
The phone came with Nubia UI 4.0 EN v2.01, and I have flashed and erased it multiple times to V2.10 EN. I have replaced the SMS app to Google but still does not work. Replace dialer with Go dialer and several other methods, but the phone is still full of problem. This is my first time to have a phone comes with so many problems like this. I could not return the phone to seller as the custom process is very complicated.
I am planning to replace the rom with lineageOS, but not sure if it will solve the problem. Any input, suggestion is appreciated
Hopefully someone here can help me
Regards
Aing
Hello,
if you have modified the default SMS application, some applications are not compatible (like Android Messages!) Indeed the phone kill some background tasks including Messages application (a firmware update had to correct the problem but it did not change anything for me). I don't know the list of compatible SMS applications but by putting the SMS app by default it works well!
For your battery problem is not normal, it should contact the service who will surely offer you a standard exchange.
