Hi all,
Does anyone know a solution to the following issue that plagues a lot of windows mobile phones.
I did the following test
Nokia calls my Trinity > it takes anywhere from 2-5 seconds before the call appears on my screen, it takes another second before it starts vibrating, and another 1-3 seconds before the ringtone starts.
Worst case scenario it can take upto 9 seconds before you even know the phone is ringing! For the caller this means the second call beep has already started.
When i call back to the nokia, it starts ringing as soon as the connection is established
Anyone know which rom(s), patches, tips and tricks lead to a lower delay?

i follow the instrustion but my trinity don't have ..\htc\audiogain. So does it work in trinity too?
i don't think that fix will work on wm6(.1)
Did you try or not?.
If it doesn't work, use tweaks2k2, search for it.
Bye

I'm wondering if you, Atropo, did try it and if it works with the trinity...?(and in the affirmative case, which cab did you use ?)
and if not, how tweaks2k2 can help...?
thanks...
Because tweaks2k2 has a tweak to correct ring delay.
But wm device isn't a phone and it doesn't work like a phone about ring.
Bye.
tweaks2k2 can and does reduce the ringtone delay, but to reduce it even more we actually do need a wm6 version of those patches, together we might be able to get instant ring
Easy way to shorten delay.
I noticed this on my old c500 phone, just use an uncompressed wav file 22 khz mono instead of wma or mp3. it takes up time to process these file formats. I'm not really bothered, if someone can't wait a few seconds for you to pick up then it's not important. you can also lengthen the ring time untill it goes to voicemail.

I have a SPV m2000 with the latest rom from orange, the first problem i had was when you go to reply to a text you sometimes could only send 70 char. before you had a 2nd text, but that was sorted by this site by turning the use assci code off, the onlt other problem is this -
Sometimes when i go to make a phone call, i dont hear a dialing tone, but after a few seconds it starts counting up like in connected to the call. The person im ringing says that they got the call and they could hear me but i didn't reply. This has happened many times now, it seems to be after its been a long time since i restarted the phone, e.g in the morning etc
I was just wondering if anyone else had ths problem?
Silent Calls
I had this problem from day 1 with my M2000, and I had to soft reset to clear it. Recently updated Radio to 1.13 and Bluetooth to 3900 and problem hasn't re-occured. Of course this may be a coincidence... :roll:
Turn on BT and leave it on, even if you don't use it. This worked for me.

There is a huge thread on this somewhere with a poll (survey) in it. Last time I checked around 76% of owners of this handset have the 'no sound in call problem' to some degree.
My old BA did it 2-3 times a day. My new one with 1.13 radio ROM does it less often, but the problem still remains.
If you are really unhappy, and need a reliable phone you obviously wont want the BlueAngel again! Take it back to where you bought it. They will try to deny it is a known problem and at best give you a new Blue Angel. My advice is to find the thread on here, print all 10 pages of it and take it to where you bought the phone. They won't be able to deny it with the evidence right in front of them. Make sure you show it where the public can see/hear so they have to try and talk their way out of it in fornt of an audience
I did this to prove that the whistling screen was a known common problem, not something caused through my neglect and so I was entitled to a new handset under my warranty, not just a new screen (Everyone said the problem came back despite a new screen as the problem is with the circuit board)
As I remember, about 1 in 6 Blue Angel users will end up with a whistling screen after owning the device for a month so you probably have that to look forward to aswell.
My 1.40 iMate ROM may have helped too.
Read the wiki and upgrade to wm5. Problem has not happened for me in months.
Standard GSM phone usually starts ringing exactly at the same time caller can hear ringing tone on his side.
In case of PocketPC it's not so obvious, because OS has to wake up, show calling screen, load ringtone and start playing it. We know this well.
In case of BlueAngel WM2003 needed up to 3 rings to start ringing. After several discoveries this time was reduced to less than one half full ring - it's hard to notice any additional delay.
Now back to our beloved Hermes: I used stock WM5 from Polish T-mobile branch (Era GSM), now I'm using Black 2.5. In case of both delay is quite long: in WM5 Hermes starts ringing when caller can hear 3rd ringtone, in case of Black it's much better: ringtone appears when caller is already listening to 2nd ring. So still it takes a lot of time and many callers complain that it takes so much time for me to pick up the phone.
Notice: in all cases I use default OldPhone.mid as ringtone; when I initiate call device is sleeping and has no active applications working in background)
So question to you:
How does it take for different roms to start ringing (I used not very precise measurement unit called "ring" - for me "one ring" this is time from begining of first ringing tone up to begining of the next ringing tone on caller side; there will be problem for UK (and similar) users, as ringing tone is doubled, but I think we can cope
How can we reduce the delay (apart from not using MP3s as ringtones)?
From standby, my WM6 ROM also picks up on the second ring. However, on a hermes it generally takes one full ring to wake up the device. This is not a call dependent delay; you'll see it when you press the power button as well. I'd doubt based on this fact that you'll ever get it below one ring unless you disable powersave mode.
Yes, you are right: wake up takes much longer in case of Hermes compared to BlueAngel... Is it only hardware dependent delay?
It seems to be.... I've never uncovered where this occurs.
I thought it was just from loading all sorts of stuff on here and/or "type" of ringer -- if it's a long .mp3 it takes longer to load.
I neer did much testing, took it as a fact of life. It would be great if this is controlable.

That's why I'm asking - In case of BlueAngel improvement over time was impressive, and maybe it's possible to achieve something with our Hermes.
Today I've tested my TyTN's response time.. and it's pretty ok. Using a land-line it was always 1 up to 1.5 rings before I got full information about the caller. And with mobile-mobile calls this was always about 1 - 1.1 rings.. So it's not that bad..
What I hate the most.. is when sth hangs and then I get a phone-call or a text-msg.. this drives me crazy :/
Ive tried every possible solution from different forums and the delay still there on my HTC Athena. Didn't try it yet on the Kaiser
But I found some forum talking about changing the the Slot Cycle Index
It was on a Samsung i-760 PDA Phone, and Ive tried the procedure
but wasn't able to go further then 2nd step
If somebody who's more experienced with that can check, it will be great

Hi all,
since I bought my trinity I have noticed something really weird and not too cool about this device :
It takes ages to actually start ringing or displaying the call when someone does, I mean, it takes 6 seconds to react which means 6 seconds less to get the phone before the caller gets on my answering machine. I find this totally shi*** plus, it has been doing the same on every ROM I've tried, do you guys experience the same thing or is it just my phone ?
Running latest faman release with latest radio
Thanks !
same here...try not loading it up with too many apps. That helps a bit

You are right, it is a bit slow to answer depending on its state. If the phone hasn't been used since a soft reset, that slows it down. If the phone is in standby, it is slower than if it is awake. I find that when my phone is in standby, it takes from 1 to 2 rings to start ringing on the phone, lag also depends on the provider.
One thing that you can do is to go into start/settings/phone/services/call forwarding, and change the time that the phone diverts to voicemail. Personally, I have mine set on 30 seconds, since it usually takes me ages to get to my phone when it's in my backpack.
you could also search the threads for the phoneboost cab by axel, dont install it as it is only for WM5 but, in the thread he explains how to shorten via registry hack the time the phone answers calls, it helped me with the same issue... tell me if you cant find it, i have it somewhere in another site too...
good luck
Nice thanks for the tip !!
Thats what i did and it works great :
Its a registry tweaks:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
edit "Script" value to av0pr

Good day.
I tried to look up for this in google and search here, and got everything else except answer for my inquiry.
I wanted my 8525 to beep or do something each time I went one minute during a call or a certain time was reached. Is there any way to do that by changing a setting, or would I need a certain software for that?
Thanks,
Anyone?
I really need to be in track of my minutes made in a call, and I would really like to have my 8525 alert me every time I reach a minute or a certain second is reached.
Try Spb Phone Suite !
Try Spb Phone Suite !
I cannot seem to find any option for that on the software =S.
do some searching noobs

PEACE!
I have noticed since upgrading to Froyo that my caller ID is broken if I'm already on another call. It's very strange because it only shows the phone number, but after I complete both the calls and go into my call log, the phone is able to resolve the number to the contact.
I've been reading around the net and there's spotty coverage of other people having this issue but no resolution.
Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone else figure out a solution?
No problem with it here, mine has been working fine.
mine does it intermittently
Just as importantly, there seems to be no way to hang up on one call while keeping the other. You can flash between the two, and even merge them, but switching to one and then hitting end hangs up on both. As it stands, I have to let the one call sit until I decide to hang up both.my old g1 had a "switch and hang up" button that you could use to select the caller you wanted to disconnect.
