Any way to fix the dial out time? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sure this has been asked before, and probably answered, but I didn't notice anything recently.
Has anyone found a way to decrease that time it takes between selecting the contact and actually dialing out? Some days mine takes a good 30 seconds before it dials, and that's by far my biggest annoyance with 2.1 right now

Try zen's slide rom, dials out for me in 4-5 seconds for me, every time

so there's no way to change the time it takes to dial out through code or anything like that? I like the ROM I have now lol

No it's a problem with all 2.1 sprint based roms, unfortunately. Live a little, try the slide rom, out darch droid, or the upcoming froyo

it's not that I don't want to try it, it's that I don't like the way it looks (can't stand espresso) and rarely have the time to modify it the way I like. And the froyo is far from being an everyday ROM (chances are I'll try it out when it's good enough to be an everyday worker).

You could try dialer one in market, I've hard it works well but have not tried it myself.

i don't think dialer one will help if he is having the same problem as me... dialing works fine, but once you hit call it can take up to 10 seconds to actually connect at times. i was hoping to get the actual phone.apk from another rom on the stock rom, but no luck yet.

That is not an issue with this: [ROM] Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD Update 3 |6/22/2010|
Out going calls and incoming calls are all very quick.
Maybe if you take the phone.apk and the dialer.apk from it?

not a bad idea, might have to give it a shot. Not sure it'll work as I imagine there's a bit more to it, but it'd be worth a shot (after making a backup obviously). I'll have to give it a try tomorrow when I've got nothing else to do

let me know how this goes as i have the same issue.

in for the answer to this too. I tried making a call today it took over a minute and a half to dial out, i was about to throw my phone in the woods.

Echo / Feedback in call...

Hey, I'm on my 2nd Hero, and this is starting to annoy the hell out of me! Almost every call I have, I can hear my voice a second or two later through the phone. It's like I'm too close to someone while using walkie-talkies. It's highly annoying.
I work in a fast pace job where I need my phone to coordianate people and fast, so when I call them, And I say something, they answer, but I also hear what I just said repeated to me and over them, so It's annoying! Is there any way to fix this? Is this even an issue for anyone but me? Like I said, this is my 2nd Hero, and the 1st did the same thing, so I'm hoping it's not me, and the phone can stop doing it. Thanks for the help.
BTW: Sprint Hero, 2.1 stock HTC rom, running OC Kernel (forgot which one).
I'd like to know this as well because darchs last rom did that for me too? Hmm hardware?

I think so, or a core software component, because I'm on a stock ROM...
just got off the phone, and it did it, not as bad as last night, but still pretty annoying.
is this a known issue?
I've had that happen to me on other phones, but never this one. I always thought it was a signal problem or something, not really the phone
That can happen when your/their phone is tapped.

GPS signal is lost.. must reboot every few days to work.

hi all,
I have had my hero since Dec 09. been on many custom ROMs by DC. I am on his last release of 2.1.
I rooted and used custom ROMs since the first week.
it seams like my GPS signal is not that stable. It works for a few days... after I reboot. Then for no reason that I can tell, it can not lock on. I have to reboot the phone... and it will work again.
When it fails.. I try everything thing that I can think of to get it to work before I give up.. and reboot.
Has anyone seen this.. and found the cure?
thanks
anything?
You should be rebooting almost daily anyways.

hate that answer... you know what I mean?
Hey I've experienced the same thing with 2.1 . When I'm using a 2.2 rom I have like the worlds most exact gps. With 2.1 I'm lucky if it is within a few miles for get trying to use any navigation program. It is really frustrating. Because I still feel that froyo has a bit to go before i can use it for my day to day rom. hope some one has a better solution than rebooting, eventually.

I have not tried froyo on my hero yet. I am waiting for a stable 2.2 ROM... to bad DC is on the EVO now
this is weird, when i was on a 2.1 rom my GPS would lock on within seconds to even the exact room i was in, in my house.
now on 2.2 its not working
still no advice from anyone?
i have never had issues flashing roms....
tried all yesterday... in every way that i could...
but no luck... Froyo would not work for me.. stuck on the first black screen with "htc" on it. let it sit there for 15 mins but never move more. tried many ways, but still no luck.
Had to switch back to 2.1 now I get a gps lock in like ten seconds

[ROM] Tranquility 3.0

I'm not sure why it hasn't been mentioned on XDA yet, but TQ 3.0 has been released:
I'm only putting it out here, so if someone wants to make an official thread then go ahead. I'm amazed no one has said anything here... unless I'm missing something. Looks sweet!
READ ALL THE WARNINGS - especially Rubix users:
I'm leaving the below link in the post just in case, but the rom owner asked me to update the OP with a direct link. Don't worry, I tested the link, it's not malicious. Please visit this link first :

Another source of info:

Thanks,
Installed and seems like this ROM is solid....no bug(s) yet....nice
Confused
This is supposed to be a blurless rom, correct? I loaded it last night, and def still has blur in it.... When I get home I'll have to see if it actually deodexed like it promised. Even Contacts are still blur...
I will say that it's FAST though..

All of the current ROMS have *some* level of Blur. Since we cannot bypass the Moto Kernel, there are some levels of base code that just have to be there.
Tranquility, Apex, zapX, and Rubix 0.5 were all built on the 2.3.15 release and then removed as much of the blur components as they could and still have it function.
Fission & Rubix 1.0 built from a base that came out of the Droid2 SDK which appears to be very stock Android and therefore, they are a little more 'blur-less' than others. Which is both good and bad. Time is showing that some of the blur components have some nice functionality that people are missing when they go completely blur-less.

This is absolutely true and was the same for the D1 except it wasn't Blur, but you can't build AOSP for D1 either without using the extract-files.sh to pull all of the proprietary components that make the phone work.
It's a basic truth about phone firmware.
can anyone tell me how the contacts list comes up aosp style or blur< i noticed blur has a thing to merge my phone contact with fb and twitter< without having to use the same name on fb and my contact info. please let me know thanks guys!!

Had rubix fallowed the instructions of installing the 2.3 detox then installing the tranq rom but the home buttion no longer works tried flashing the 2.3 rom still the home problem tried rubix after that. Same thing. Can I install the 2.2 stock rom in clockwork without wiping the phone? I just want to get my hone button to work again

I hate to say this, but maybe you should post this on either droidworld or another forum with an active thread. I doubt you'd get much support over here, not sure why. Tranquil. doesn't seem to be popular around here. I didn't see you mention trying a nandroid restore.... did you?

From what I read you may want to do a sbf back to stock 2.2 then install this.
I am seriously considering installing this to test out but want a little more feedback from users as to any possible issues (mail/pop3 etc..)

Its running pretty damn good for me. And since I have Tasker set up to sync my data every 30 mins, my battery life is great also. I'd imagine it would be even better if I set it to sync every 45 or 60 mins.
Love TranQ3.0, and I never thought I'd be saying that.

So far, I've had like maybe one or two glitches.... sometimes after a reboot the boot screen gets left on the lock screen, so you can still unlock your phone, but you have to guess where the sliders are.
another is that the calendar widget doesn't work.
Other then those two, the rom is FAST, stable, and battery life has been great. Worth it to me in my opinion... It's not an ASOP "experience" though... it's more like a hybrid.
Like it so far though, it's my daily driver.
Edit: Also, this applies to STOCK people (running the 2.2 OTA).... I was odexed, completely stock..... installed this rom with ease: no wiping, no formatting, nada. AND it deodexed my phone for me.... LOVE THAT.

I have bought tasker aS well (the stock rom doesn't let the os sleep when gps is enabled so I bought it to turn it on and off for all my apps)
Now I like your idea of syncing every 30 but I use google voice exclusively. And the voice app. Does that mean if I turn off my sync I won't get my messages in a timely mater?

This rom also doesn't seem to sleep when wick is on. Am I missing something? Anyway I do see how this can save a lot a battery with the screen dining and everything. I had to wipe my phone to get it to work. Last time I tried when I booted every system app was force closing. I feel like this is a little slower than rubix but way faster then stock. Could be too the drawer just doesn't feel right. Too bouncy for me to use quickly. Ill probably go to pro launcher. But if I don't want to how do I customize the 4 apps at the bottom? Its driving me nuts

[Q] Search keeps popping up on captivate

Hello everyone
I have recently developed this annoying issue with my captivate running 2.2. When I am reading my txt messages, I keep getting a search window pop up, without me hitting the search kit on the phone. It sometimes flashes in and out of the search and it sometimes even brings out the voice search. Each time I have to hit the back key a few times to get back to composing my txt or reading it. I've done a search on the net and I don't seem to be the only person experiencing this issue, but I can't seem to find a solution for it either. It is starting to get more frequent. How can I fix this issue? Do I have a virus?
It could be on the rom your on, if your on one or stock? Or maybe it could be a hardware error
Next time state what rom, kernel, elect your on. So that can help people make more sense off the problem

Hey speedy_11
Thanks for your reply. Forgive me I am a newbie so I will try my best. The phone is an At&t phone that I unlocked and use on the Fido network in Canada. The current firmware version is 2.2, the kernel version is 2.6.32.9 and the build number is FROYO.UCKB1
I don't have any roms just the regular Samsung update. Where do I go from here?

Multiple, screen touches

Whenever I touch the screen on my slim ics captivate, there are just random touches around, it took me about 10 mins to write this, random letters. Would get pushed

I've seen this happen on a different ICS ROM on my Captivate. It is intermittent, i.e. goes along just fine and then a period of "stutter" typing and then back to fine. I guess I'll try a different keyboard as the other person suggested. I'm currently using Smart Keyboard Pro. How about you?

Hmmmm..... I haven't experienced it since switching to the stock keyboard. But, it's so intermittent, it's hard to call that conclusive. I think I'll switch back to Smart keyboard and see if the problem comes back.
What sort of third party charger are you using and how did you come to that conclusion?
Have you tried flashing your cap to docs Master ROM? You will not be let down. My only complaint is the call quality.
