i saw a post about ringer delay for AT&T user and they just need to disable the dialer and the problem solve but what about us sprint users? Here is the original post about that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=449417
i tried to disable the dialer on registry but still get 2-3 second delay before my Touch Pro actually ring.
Download and install DiamondTweaks. There is an option to disable the ringer delay. Works well.
convert your ringer to .wav file

The ringer delay that this changes is the pause between when the ringtone ends and it repeats. Not the delay from when the LED starts flashing (because a call arrived) till the phone actually starts ringing.
If you wish to turn off the HTC dialer and use the WM Dialer, simply goto the following registry entry,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Security/Phone/Skin]
"Enabled" = dword:1​change the Enabled value from 1 to 0 which will disable the HTC dialer.
I vote for converting to WAV files as well.
If you would like to complain to Sprint about it, the following is the thread I started on Sprint's forum regarding this very subject.

Thanks smotrs...
Know anyway to get the light sensor to turn off the screen when on a call (Sprint) other than S2U2?

Depends on what you may have done (adding programs, etc..) to your phone. By default, our devices will turn the screen off to conserve battery while a call is in session. However, if you have added one of the S2A dialer GSM versions which was taken from the Touch HD, that feature was disabled because of the InCall curtain. The CDMA versions (my signature and others) were taken from the Sprint Diamond ROM that was released and still contains the necessary code to turn off the screen display while the call is in progress.
Smotrs...just HR'd and installing now. I haven't tried that one, and actually think I ended up with the GSM version I WAS using.
I'll let you know how it works.
Thanks...
Well, it still sits there while the screen "times" out. I thought the light sensor was supposed to dim the screen almost immediately. I'm on the call for 30-40 seconds before it dims, and then cuts off.
Is this a Sprint thing?

It should Dim after about 10 seconds (or whatever you have in the backlight Advanced setting under Battery). After about 40 seconds or so (same location) it should turn off the screen.
At least that's what mine does, just verified it again. Sounds like maybe your values are too high. After a HR they usually are by default.
Somehow it was at 30 (dim) and 1 min (off). That is a little high. Changed it to 10 / 40. We'll see what that does.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep you posted.
Seems to now be working the way you explained!!! Thank you for the help!
Is there anything else out there, other than S2U2 that allow FULL SCREEN Caller ID pictures??? I don't want to reinstall that because the dialer is actually working right. I just miss full screen caller ID.
Thanks again.
That I don't know, sorry.
Eh...it's ok. I'd much rather have a dialer that works than a full screen picture of my ignorant brother.
you can also change the Slot Cycle Index in the epst settings... you'll need your MSL though
it's under "Modem Settings"
What is slot cycle and where are these settings? How do I find my MSL? I don't see "Modem Settings".

Changed the SCI to 1. We'll see if that helps. There is always "0"!
I'm also seeing mixed reports/opinions on ACCOLC - Access Overload Class. Mine was defaulted at 8 on Sprint. People say leave it alone. People say set it lower. Others say set it higher.
i found that setting SCI to 1 is good enough, i'm able to catch my calls and haven't noticed decreased battery life from it so that's where mine stays.
1) When going to unlock my phone using the screen pattern, I've noticed that recently the screen rotates. As far as I remember, it has always been in portrait which is the easiest way to quickly unlock -- rather than waiting for it to rotate from landscape back to portrait so i get the pattern correct.
2) Every time I answer my phone it goes automatically to loudspeaker. I keep forgetting and I'll end up deaf. This is very annoying!
3) Sometimes I'll be playing a game or whatever and 'car mode enabled' (something like that) will appear. I click to deactivate it but I didn't actually do anything to activate it in the first place. Why does this keep happening?
Sounds to me (noobie) like it's constantly in car mode or something. How can I turn this off? It doesn't say anything in the notification bar about it.
Thank you.
It sounds like moisture in the microUSB connector. It has a known problem of putting the phone into Car Mode - calls are via loudspeaker.
I would do a Search on here about Car Mode problems. I think a bit of DW40 resolves the issue.

what firmware are you running on the phone?
It should not default to loudspeaker unless car mode is running, check setting phone to make sure that there is nothing is running that shouldn't.
If there is nothing turned on, then it you may have problem with your hardware.
What type of game are you playing, It sounds like during the game there maybe an extra button being pressed by accident.

See the attached pic.
Where do I look to see if it's in car mode or not? When it switches on there is usually a notification and I can deactivate it from there -- but the notification bar is empty and there are no unusual icons.
The game is called WordFeud, it's like scrabble.
Thanks for your help.
I searched the forum and can't find how to check car mode.
in another forum (androidpit) i found a hint to try "Dock No-Op" with this "car-mode-problem" :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.megagram.docknoop
i dont know if it helps
Moreover you can also try out this:
1) factory reset (wipe all?)
2) flash original firmware!
3) take out the battery for an hour or two
4) power on
5) check if all is ok now
if yes:
6) flash whatever you want

Hey everybody!
I just joined so this is my first post and I am a iPhone 3GS convert. I am finding that the turn over silence feature only works if the phone already starts ringing. It does not silence future calls/notifications. This seems totally useless as it can also be silenced by pressing one of the volume buttons.
I would like to silence all calls and notifications by turning the phone face down and have it revert to normal mode when turning it over or picking it up, etc...
Is this possible? This feature is weak and useless and I cannot believe this is how it was implemented. Is my phone defective?
Thanks in advance!
This feature works when a incoming call is coming
when phone is on a flat surface with this motion effect activated,you will not get anysound or vibrations or you will get sound or vibration for just one second or even less
there is bug in this feature to be sorted out i think
Thanks for your response!
For me it doesn't silence anything. The phone rings and notifies as if it was in normal mode. There is no change in the behavior and I am positive the feature is enabled in the settings > motion menu. If it is a bug I hope they fix it because this a useful feature for me.
Are there any apps that might provide this functionality?

No worries, either let the thread die, or click on the report post button and ask a mod to move it....
Welcome to XDA!
Thank you. I have submitted a request to have it moved.
Bump........
I'm afraid to say it but what you're asking for is not the intention of the feature as it is. They designed the motion control in this scenario for you to quickly grab your phone and turn it up side down to silence the ring without having to press a button, etc. I agree that's it's not all that great but I can see the benefit for some people.
Your phone is not defective, it just doesn't work the way you thought it would.
And just to add a little logic to the scenario... the feature is called 'motion' so it only works when motion occurs. If the phone is resting upside down, that's not the same thing.
It's called Motion Activation. You hear a phone call comes in, flip it over, the ring silenced. If you keep the phone upside down, there is no motion to activate anything and it won't silence anything. It only works for incoming calls and you need to flip the phone at the right time. Useless feature, as are all other Motion Activation features listed there.
Brilliant! So does this include notifications from text messages too? They must last at least a second or two. If I react quickly I could possibly silence around half of the notification! Useless! If this is truly the intended functionality then that is rediculous to me. Not to mention useless.
The point is putting the phone into a mode that emits no noise; not reacting to a noise that anyone that can fog a mirror can hear and then "flipping my phone over to silence it." If I flip the phone over then I don't want it to make noise. If the phone doesn't have that feature then fine. I find it a useful feature that is missing or poorly described/implemented at best.
"Logic to the situation?" Please. There is no logic in implementing a turn over silence feature the way you have described.

LoL. If you read the other Motion features Samsung implemented here, one of them is zoom in and out. The procedure is quite laughable and in the end, it is ten times easier to just pinch zoom on the screen. I don't know why Samsung even waste time on this.
Try these apps
Have you tried Flip4Silence or Flip-Silent? Both are free apps and seem to have decent reviews.
Thanks! I will definitely give those apps a try. I appreciate the response.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
After many hours of searching around the web i found a solution for this problem.
You just need to calibrate you phone, to do this follow the procedure:
1) Place your phone on the flat surface
2) Go to Settings > Display > Horizontal Calibration > and hit Calibrate
3) Go to Settings > Display > Gyro sensor calibration > and hit Calibrate
Now try the turn over feature
1) Go to settings > Motion > enable Turn Over
under tutorial > Turn over > Try > OK > once it starts ringing flip your phone
This should work fine!!
Cheers!!

I've used it since froyo and its really easy to set it up to silence phone on face down.
I must be dense. If you want the phone to be quiet when sitting why not just put it into Silent mode?

I agree.
The feature is not there for a long term "silent mode", it is there to quickly silence the phone if it rings during a conversation, conference call, meeting, etc. I can it being useful for many people.

I am having this problem with my phone. Every time I set the phone ring volume, after a while (30-60 minutes) I suddenly hear my phone vibrate and then it automatically on its own goes into silent mode with silent icon appearing in the top bar. It is very annoying to keep checking my phone to see if it has not gone into silent mode.
Any idea what may be causing this. I cannot find in anything in the settings to enable or disable this.
please help!
I am getting tired of my phone automatically turning the ringer off and going into silent mode after emitting a short pulse vibration (like in notification) while sitting on my desk every few hours.

got this tip from an user on Android Central:
There is a settings tweak in the Power Save mode to toggle vibrations. I think the default is no vibrations.
I will give this a try now.

Thank you for the tip. I want to say that I love this phone....however, given its rounded back shape, the vibration was especially loud and annoying. I had been looking for ways to disable all vibration but didn't realize the power saving mode was the culprit. Now, I wont jump out of my chair every time I get a notification. Thank you again for putting my nerves at ease!

i figured out what the issue is - an app called Onavo has been changing the ringer profile to silent whenever mobile data is becoming active. uninstalled the app and it works like a charm.
good job
Its mostly caused by power savers. just uninstall apps you suspect one at a time
Hello Team ,
I am using one plus X phone . currently , my android phone version is 6.0.1 , Oxygen OS version 3.1.4 and kernel version us 3.4.0-perf-ge4f53e4.
I am facing the below problem :
My phone automatically went silent mode. i faced these type of problem since 1 week .
If any one face the same problem , please help me to solve the concern.
I am currently having this same issue with my U11. It`s very annoying when I miss calls and notifications!!!!!
Hey google not responding with screen off or locked?
Tried enabling in the settings, still only works when phone is active?.
I have same problem ... It works only on lock screen, not when screen is black. So for example if I have accident and cannot move my arms, then I cannot use assistant to call for help, because I need to push power button (or double tap screen) first . This is very sad, just imagine how many people dieded because they could not call for help .
LOL, im sure it will get fixed, glad its just not me.
Did they remove the BOOST charge option for you to?
