I have a serious problem with my new diamond....
When I get an incoming call, I often miss the call because the phone is really slow to ring/vibrate...
I can see that at least for two of callers rings before it rings/vibrates on my end, the touch pad lights up/flashes. But unless you are physically watching your phone all the time, you have no chance to react in time..
Especially becase the lag-of-death os (wm6) takes eternity to figure out that Im actually frantically pressing 'answer call'
Is there some sort of registry hack for this?
Disabling the phone skin helps (download Schap's Advanced Config) and gives you back about 10Mb of memory. Also, some people say that moving from a .wav ringtone to an mp3 helps. I've not tried the latter but it certainly helped on previous PPCs.
Don't have any suggestions for your problem, but I do have a question of my own:
Who hangs up after 2 rings!?!
Who designs a phone that doesn't ring the first three times and then starts ringing? What's the point?

And the answer to that would be - HTC
BTW just a suggestion, if it might help ...
You can set alerts for missed calls - Start - Settings - Sounds and Notifications.
So.. in case someone does give you a missed call (one or two rings and then disconnects) - you will be notified with a sound. As opposed to pulling the phone out of your pocket - after 30 minutes and then noticing that you have a few missed calls from people who disconnected after 2 rings
Hope this helps.
the thing is that when the phone starts ringing, I need to react... it does actually happen that it is not in my hand, but on the table somewhere etc..
then by the time it rings the second time I get to it, and press answer.. wm6 then takes 2 years to figure out that the moron holding the phone has actually pressed te button..
by then its up to at least 5 rings on the other end... then a lot of people hang up...
what I would like was to tweak the phone to ring immedeately instead of the initial blinking for two rings...
yea someone do help out in this aspect please...
i for one have free incoming call.. so its pretty wasteful to call back a missed call when actually i could have answered it fast enough..
and im using a mp3 ringtone.. din see much improvement..
As told before: seems the diamond dialer interface is causing most of the pain. disabling it makes it respond faster.
but maybe...
someone made a custom VGA version of our Diamond dialer skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2365614&postcount=16
perhaps if we install this we get our Diamond skin back but without delay (???). it's worth a try, I will try it later.
disadvantage: 5 Mb extra storage space consumed.
I just did some testing on my Diamond.
I have a .wav as ringtone, am using the new dailer interface and am not using TF3D.
The phone starts ringing after the caller hears the second ring on his end, not too bad is it?
Also, I noticed disabling the new dailer interface also disables the "flip the phone to mute" option?
yes its bad.. or not good enough...
did you notice that the ring on your diamond is in fact blinking for those two first rings?
So the phone knows someone is calling you, but delays the ringing?
It's really not that big a deal..
I mean.. so it rings a few seconds later... I mean.. err.. compare that to.. NOT BEEPING AT ALL when you receive an SMS (thanks for the tweak) or an EMAIL (hoping to find a tweak)..
Yeah, it's a problem.. just not that big a problem.
you can setup notifications in the advanced section of the sounds menu.
and even if you couldnt I dont see how one flaw should excuse another?!

Mate, you SERIOUSLY think that there were tonns of people who DIDN'T think of setting up the Sounds and Notifications Menu!!
Needed a registry tweak (for the SMS) and as far as I know, some are still having a problem with the Email (auto retrieval) - notification.
More importantly, nobody is saying that the delayed ring IS NOT A FLAW..
I just said.. a few seconds delay is not THAT big a deal. It's not a matter of EXCUSE one FLAW by looking at the other. Definitely not. A problem is a problem. I was just highlighting that a few seconds delay in notification is not THAT BAD as opposed to not being notified (by a sound) AT ALL

well for me its bad, and theres plenty of other people that feel likewise..
I agree it is bad and would also like a solution.
Most people who ring me get two rings before my phone even plays the MP3 and 2 rings later the answer phone kicks in.
It would be nice if the MP3 played as soon as the LED flashed like it should..

what do you mean with " new dialer interface", the white Diamond interface that comes with the diamond ROMs or the cab file I referred to?

I mean the default dailer interface m8. I'm calling it the 'new dailer' because the tweak set you back to the old one (default WM6.1).
Sorry for confusion
Ok you guys and dolls with the slow response: what ROM are you using?
I use the 1.93 (from Walshieau) en did the test many times today with the diamond dialer active. Result: the moment the phone goes over my Diamond responds. Exactly at the same time!
I did it with the device on, device off, waited 10 minutes, all the same result: immediate answer.
Are there any guys who use 1.93 and experience the delay or am I the only lucky bastard?
BTW: I use radio 1.00.25.05
Okay so when I'm on a call, I get another call. I answer the second call. I can switch back and forth between the 2 calls no problem. The problem is when the caller on hold hangs up. When they hang up it ends both calls. If I look at the screen it says "Radio Off", but the signal strength in the status bar doesn't change. Now if I hang up before the other party does, it doesn't end both calls...
I'm running CM 4.2.6 and have seen this in 4.2.5... I also have Missed Call (not sure if it's related) running. To be honest I don't know if this bug was here prior to running the CM mod or not. I'm using a Dream (32b).
Re-flash your radio, that most likely will sort things out. Make sure to flash the correct radio file though. Good luck.
Has anyone else had this problem. For the entire time I have had my phone it has done this occasionally. Where when a incoming call comes in, the second I slide to answer it just reboots the phone.
A problem is that the call doesn't end up in the call log if it is not a number I know it makes it impossible to call back.
I have no idea if it does it when I totally miss the call and don't attempt to answer which is worse since I will have no indication of a missed call since I have trained people not to leave voice mails since I hate checking them. (and I don't, they leave after they get deleted as old by my carrier)
I have had this problem on official 2.1-update1, G.O.T. 2.2.1 leak and the Cyanogen port. So it seems pretty widespread.
Whenever I receive calls on my N1 running CM7 RC4, I would have to wait about 5 seconds before the caller hears anything I say.
For example, when I receive a call, I would say "Hello? Hello?", but the caller wouldn't be able to hear it. After 5 seconds of doing that, they would finally hear my voice. The phone call would be normal after that.
I'm running radio 5.08 and have the Dewonkificator app installed.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I think this is a gb issue. I've had the problem on geos, and every cm7 rom I've tried. Pretty irritating. Might be wrong. I've tried all 3 radio versions as well.

Most of us have a 2 second pause, 5 seconds is a lot. Best to do is either wait till you see the call timer begin counting before you speak. Or wait to hear the call Mic noise background hiss then speak.
I'm currently on the Android N preview. During a call i hear a "Beep Beep" every ten seconds(Sounds like call waiting). Is there a way to stop this sound? I've checked the phone settings and call settings But I don't see anything that addresses this sound. Any one else have this problem or annoyance?
I'm using as daily driver, and I didn't hear that sounds.

Yes..it's odd. I was on a call..no beeping. Received another call,clicked over..the sound started. I then ended call..called back no sounds. It's random..
Beeping is often a sign that the call is being recorded, no...?
I get the two beeps just before a call is initialised. One low pitch and second higher pitch right after. Usually happens at 2 locations in the City of London. Doesn't happen anywhere else!
Beeps on stock ROM and also on Pure Nexus r22 rom.
So you're not the only one
Had this happen to me for the first time yesterday, after switching from one call to another. It stayed active, even after I hung up both calls and made another one. Fixed on reboot.

I had multiple calls today with no beeping. Same callers as before. I'm just wondering what causes it. It's more of an annoyance than a problem
