First, off i did a search and all i could find is extending ringtone by looping, which apparently removes the 3 second lag, but I haven't really noticed anything.
Anyhow, I am on At&t service and it appears that my phone only rings three times with the tilt. I switch my sim card out and put it into my older motorolas and each time I call those phones I get 5 or 6 rings.
I noticed this because when my tilt rings it only lasts about 10 seconds before it connects to my voicemail.
In the past, I may have noticed an option on my device but at this time I couldn't find it. However, I may just be imagining things. I am tired of missing calls because i can't get my phone out of my pocket in time. If anyone has any suggestions about extending the length of the ring it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried playing with the registry value for ring script?
I've seen this several places, but here's one forum discussion's tutorial:
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

I can confirm that what you need to do is call AT&T. The default is for the phone to ring 3 times and go to voicemail. If you would like it to ring more time, you must call customer service and request it. I personally don't care, but had to do that for my father who can't always hear his phone very well. We had them change it to 6 rings for him.
i use full song mp3's as ringtones and it plays for as long as it dials you
Extending ring duration before call goes to voice mail
Here's how it's done: Start > Settings > Phone > Services tab. Tap 'Call Forwarding' then 'Get Settings'. Notice section 'Forward phone calls only if:'. 'No answer' should be checked. Change 'Forward after' to a longer value. (I use the maximum, which is 30 seconds.) NOTE: This works on an 8525/Hermes on AT&T. YMMV.
^ winnar. ThanQ, had been wondering about this for a while.

Hi All,
With WM2003SE i have a lil bit uncomfortable thing. After period of time (approx 1 minute) an incoming call becoming a missed call, if i haven't answer the call.
Now I use WM5 (helmi 1.32), but I still found that such things. Does anyone know how to change/set incoming call behavior in WM5?
Means that..the ring still sounding (unlimited - like handphone) till the caller put off their call.
Best Regards,
Dave
you should change it in the sounds/notifications

Yeah, but how...
I did it, but it doesn't change anything. Have you try and ever trace this weird behavior..?? I've try with .wav, .mid and .mp3 ringtone type. But it still do the same things..after a period of time, the ring will stop and the caller will get busy line or unreachable destination
somone (sry i cant remeber who) in the forum posted this in a diff topic
Delayed ring - Workaround
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can increase the time it takes for voicemail to pick up. I set mine to max 30 secs and I haven't missed a call I've heard. My phone seems to ring after 2-3 rings on the other end. This may not work for every carrier. I'm on Cingular in the U.S.
Step 1. Key in the following into your phone *#61# then press the call/send button. This will return a telephone number and the current delay time before voice mail kicks in .
Step 2. Write it down.
Step 3. If you wanted, say, 30 seconds, before the Voice mail activated, then you would put 30 where the nn is in the following string and the telephone number from step 2 where the xxxxxxxx is.
Key in **61*xxxxxxxxx*11*nn# followed by the call/send button and it should update the delay.
For example, it would look like this **61*xxxxxxxxxxx*11*30#
If your phone reports the delay time, you can check by following step 1 again.

Click on Settings, Phone, then the services tab.
Select call forwarding, then click on Get settings.
The time option is in there.
Rings length
Hello Belgium I guess...Morkhoven?
Here a possible reply from bouwel:
The maximum length is 30 seconds with settings on Kaiser.
Perhaps there is a extern file or some other trick.
You can make it 10 seconds longer like this: Start-Settings-telephone-services(2nd item lower bar)- select oproep doorschakelen(call...)-download settings(press button right under)- doorschakelen after: enter 30 seconds.
Ring is 30 seconds long.

ring length increase to 30+
is it possible using a reg tweak to increase the ring length? i have noticed if i set a full size mp3 as sms tone, it will play full tone, but same mp3 for ring tone will play 30 secs. anyone?
No, it's a Network setting issue.
Your Service Provider re-routes your call to voicemail, not the Phone.
I suppose if you turn off voicemail it might ring longer.
Hi all,
Running my Orange UK (unlocked and on T-mobile) with Duttys 6.1 ROM and radio 1.64.08.21 and seem to have an issue when answering incoming calls.
I'm sure I've seen this reported elsewhere but can't find it for the life of me now!
When I recieve an incoming call and press the green answer button, there is about a 2 second delay before the call is connected. If you're not quick, TM voicemail takes the call. Seems to be a second of ringing on the calling handset before it starts ringing on the TYTN 2 as well.
Can someone confirm that I have seen this reported elsewhere and post a link or suggest if this is a ROM issue, radio issue or general Kaiser issue?
Only kept the orange rom for about 48 hours and went straight to Duttys so cant really recall if it happened on the orange rom.
Many thanks guys!
Not exactly the same problem, but I have a similar issue on my Tilt with my bluetooth headset. I press the headset button to answer and don't hear anything for about 1.5 seconds. Usually, the person calling is saying "hello? hello?" by the time I actually get connected.
The headset (Plantronics 510) works great for everything else.
Have you tried the following. I've seen this help some people including myself.
Start > Settings > Phone > Services Tab .. Highlight Call Forwarding and hit Get Settings ..
Forward phone calls only if: Forward After: there is a drop down box that some providers allow you to set the time before the call goes to viocemail. (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 seconds) .. I think default was 20 on my phone/provider.
If your network provider doesn't allow changes from your phone you might have to call their customer service and request they manually change the network settings for you.
Same problem here as well! Same Rom (Dutty's), same network (Orange).
And I've only flashed last week and was on the standard Orange Rom before and there wasn't a delay. Any help is appreciated as this is a right pain.
I've changed to 30 seconds before diverting to the answerphone - so thanks for that response at least.

Had no idea that screen was there... Thanks! I've changed my call forward to 25 seconds, 'cause I had always felt it was going to vms too quickly.

I had this issue myself with Dutty's V4 RTM (WM 6.0) rom. Pressing the Green button would result in a 2 second delay in being able to answer the phone, but if I used the left soft key to answer, there was no delay.
Same problem here. T-Mobile vanilla ROM. Can take up to 5 seconds for the call to reach my earpiece.
Solved it!
I had seen elsewhere that turning off the kepad sounds and turning off smart dialing could help, but I can't find a smart dialing option in the phone options.
Just tried switching the the Windows dialler rather than HTC and turning off auto Audio record on the Resco recorder which I had forgotten about.
After bit of playing, it appears (quite obviously now) to be the Audio recorder!
Used to use this on my wizard without any notable problems, but seems to be an issue on the Kaiser. It answers and hangs up in an instant now
A bit specific, but if any of you guys have this kind of thing installled and configured, try turning it off?!
Thanks for the replies and suggestions and hope you get it sorted too!
I don't have Resco audio installed and it only happens occasionally but when it does it usually happens a few times in a row.
Sometimes I also get the ringtone coming through the BT headset while the kaiser sputters into life. Then a 2 second delay
before the BT headset beeps and the caller can hear me.
Occasionally, I can hear the caller at the same time as I can hear the ringtone. Just another 'feature' I guess.
"If you're not quick, TM voicemail takes the call"
There's usually a few seconds delay between 'hearing' the other phone ring and it actually ringing. Can be up to 5 seconds.
some default ring tones are timed 3+ seconds apart. Choose the wrong ring tone and ring tone type (increasing volume) and
it's possible to miss the first 2 rings which, if the answer after x seconds delay is set to 20 seconds gives someone about
5 seconds to answer the phone or miss the call. My GF suffered 'missed call syndrome' after fiddling with her Hermes.
You can adjust the voice mail answer after x seconds time in start/settings/phone/services/call forwarding/get settings
Forward calls only if [no answer should be ticked]
Drop down menu Forward after ..
Mine is set to 30 seconds.
Has anyone else seen an issue with the ATT Tilt where it will vibrate to indicate an incoming call or email and lock up (still vibrating) until the user either removes the battery or the battery just dies and the unit resets? I work for an organization and have had two different units do this on multiple occasions. The second one was recently RMA'd and replaced and has only been back in service a few days. We are running the factory ROM which may be part of the problem, but I hate to send these guys out with anything experimental. Any help/advice/co-misery would be appreciated.
Cant say this is something i have come across with my many ROM's flashed onto the kaiser. Sounds like just a bit of bad luck to me

You may want to consider changing the vibrate ring string to avoid the third vibrate that appears to cause the lockup.
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
v0 will vibrate continuously;
v3 will vibrate for 3 seconds;
v3p will vibrate for 3 seconds, then play the ringtone;
v0p will vibrate and play the ringtone at the same time, and when the ringtone stops, the vibrating stops as well;
v0p3 will vibrate and play the ringtone at the same time, and stop after 3 secondwN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

I have a problem with my ringtone that is driving me nuts. When the ringer starts, it is very quiet for maybe a second or two and then suddenly goes to the full ringer volume. I would like it to start at the preset volume level and continie; i.e. get rid of the soft-then-loud and just keep the loud.
For additional background I used ringdroid to make a few ringtones from .mp3s. The original .mp3 and created ringtones created sound perfect played through a media player so it is not the files themselves rather something weird on the phone.
This is one of the last items for me in setting up my new system so please help!
You can't fix that. Its a standard Samsung thing that they do with all devices.. No way as of yet to get around it.
This is terrible! Isn't there a way to remove this setting? This is an Android device after all!
Fret not, my friend.
As there's no solution to the native ringing behavior, here's a workaround to help offset the first low ring by extending the time your phone rings before rolling over into voicemail.
1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Dialing *#61# as instruction 5 suggests told me that my phone forwards to voicemail after 30 seconds.
I will give this a try. Any explanation for why this works?

Its not that it changes the tone like he said. All this does is make your phone ring for a longer period of time. I think the default is 20 secs.. using the settings above you extend that time by 10 more secs of ringing which helps so you can catch the phone. You still aren't stopping the actual soft first ring.
Exactly. This used to be changeable only via AT&T until I discovered the procedure elsewhere. Helps alot.
Hmm. This is not quite what I was looking for; I want to hear the beginings of my ringtones! Does anyone know the exact time the ringtone is softened? I guess I could use an .mp3 editor and bad nothingness to the beginning...
I downloaded audacity and put some blank space in the front of each one of my ringtones. 2 seconds seems to be the perfect amount of dead time for the ring to come up at full volume. This is actually kind of nice now vecause it gives me two seconds to reject the call before it starts making noise, so if I am in a meeting or something and forget to turn the ringer off (never happens I can dump the call.
Thanks Jack45, worked perfectly!
