Short ring time - missing calls...

**mbreezy** · 03-25-2009, 05:15 PM

My G1 rests nicely in my front left pocket all the time. Or when in uniform, in my left breast pocket. If it rings I have to free up my hands, reach in and get it. It can take all but 6-7 seconds. Most of the time I end up missing the call. Is there a way to increase the time? Anyone else experience this?

Also, sometimes when it rings it will take 2-3 seconds to turn the screen on to show me on the caller ID. Is this a flaw? That leaves me 2-3 seconds to decide if I want to answer it or not. Just seems too fast. I'd like a 11-12 second ring time, if possible.

Any suggestions?

I have noticed that when someone calls me the person on the other line will get about 2 rings before the G1 even lets me know that i am getting a call, so i assume this also cuts into that time.

you need to dial some gsm codes

call: *61*1[vm access number]*11*n#

Replace [vm access number] with your voice mail access number
Replace n with the number of seconds that should elapse before the call is sent to voice mail.

I tried the code and received the following error message:
Call forwarding
Connection problem or invalid MMI code
[OK]
I'll check the link in your post for clues.
Thanks
UPDATE: Found the problem. The correct code is *61*[vm access number]*11*n#
You shouldn't use the number 1 here- *61*1. But do include your country or long distance code with the vm number like this- *61*14045551212*11*n#. n=5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. n must be in 5 second increments not exceeding 30 seconds. I just tried it and it worked!

I did it and it said call forwarding is enabled.... is it supposed to say that?

Call forwarding to Voicemail is always on by default.

rjsccott2005, what is the default number of seconds before it forwards to voicemail?

**xdavidn88** · 03-26-2009, 10:51 PM

cool thanks.

default is 15.

I have noticed this alot, its annoying. I will try suggestions above.

I had my buddy standing next to me call my phone. It rang 3-4 times on his end before my G1 even started ringing or vibrating or screen turning on...

EDIT: worked well, thanks

Doesn't mean anything -- do the same test with another phone. My Nokia used to ring after the 4th ring on my deskphone. I work in a telco and do SLA testing from time to time, so this sort of thing may not be wholly related to the devices
