Slow Call Pickup Solution

---

I have been reading here that almost all of us are having to deal with a rather annoying lag when receiving an incoming voice call. As per a previous post and suggestion by "dherrero"...

<<I had the same problem and now is solved.
In phone/options/band select WCDMA (not automatic)>>

...I have changed the band setting to WCDMA, which is the 3G cellular network instead of the allied 2G GSM standard and I can report that my phone now rings instantly and the pickup button also works right away! Of course not all areas have UMTS (3G) coverage, but when you see the little "U" next to the signal strength, then normally you are in a WCDMA zone and this should then work. I am using the latest QTek ROM, should any of you be curious about this.

If anybody can report having success with the above as well, we would be able to more easily confirm this as a fix and not me and dherrero having a "one-off" success at solving this problem.

Ok, I'll give it a go, but what happens when you're not in 3G coverage?
EDIT: checked, no difference :evil:

Might just be me, but I found assigning a ringtone to a contact sped up the phone ringing.
I only have ~250 contacts though

shot boet - I havent come across the problem but I will keep that in mind. I always take auto-cell selection off too, not sure if it helps but I dont want my phone hunting around for other networks.

This has been tested by members on Modaco, and after it seemed it worked intially, it seems, that it is NOT a fix.
