long phone lag when trying to answer a call HTC Touch Pro

Does anyone know of a fix for the long lag in answering calls for the HTC Touch Pro? If you can help please write back in the simplest terms! I am just learning how to use the phone and finally learned how to download and install cab files.
Thanks!

What have you installed (to cause this problem)?

Do a search for "diamond tweak". There is an option to shorten the delay when an incoming calls rings. Perhaps that will help.

if you have S2U2 installed, you could try uninstalling or disabling that. You could also switch from the Diamond dialpad to the regular WinMo dial pad (the screen you see when go to the dialer). You can make this change using the Advanced Config Tool (i'm pretty sure, if not, then try Diamond Tweak).
There's also the initial delay value in the registry as mentioned in the last post.
These should all help, some more than others though.

there actually is an issue with Diamond tweak and advanced config...
if you use them to set your data disconnect time if re writes a registry value that makes your phone fritz when trying to answer calls.in reg editor go to HKLM/comm/connmgr/planner.
Look for a entry of suspendresume. change that to #777. shold cure your issue. while you are there if you want to help out your battery change the Cachetime value to 60. that will kill your data afret 60 seconds of no use.

weird.....suspendresume on mine shows ~GPRS! as a value??

thanks for the suggestions and how do I fix the hang up lag?
The slow delay in answering calls was a problem right out of the box. When I installed the slide to answer function the phones responsiveness greatly improved. There is also a huge lag from the time I end a call to the time I can go back to my home screen. Any suggestions for fixing that lag?

no idea, but i have the same thing

No luck with the tweak mentioned in post #5. However, after I replaced the HD CallerID with the default WM one (which is not that bad!) the phone responds rapidly :
1) Zero lag between first caller's ring and screen respond.
2) Almost zero lag between first caller's ring and bluetooth handset ring.
3) Less than 0.5 ring before the device starts ringing.
Only a minor problem : The bluetooth icon does not show any more on the taskbar although the BT connections works fine !

Ok, where do you change to the default caller ID? I tried the registry edit and changing to the default dialer skin and had the same problem. This is so frustrating! About 50% of the time when it rings I hit the answer button and nothing happens. It even takes about 10 seconds before the screen changes from the home screen to the phone screen when it starts ringing.

How big a file for the ringtone are you using? The bigger the file, IMHO, the longer it'd take for the phone to load it...

Delete your call history and the lag after hanging up should disappear.

Htc Diamond Regedit
Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC.
I used PHM Regsitry. I found the Suspendresume key, and it wrote GPRS!
I clicked the key, and because I did not know who to change the value, I just wrote #777.
Now when I try to go there and change what I did, when I click Settings in regedit, it is emty or the program crackes.
Please help.

Paches and fixes
Goto HTC's website. There is a patch to resolve the issue for the delay in sound when answering calls.
Regarding the delay after the phone cal has been discontinued use "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3" (search this site). There is a setting that you can change to resolve it (default is 3000ms[3sec])

This hangup delay is one of the first settings I changed when I got the phone. Almost everytime I scroll through contacts phonebooks, the phone would accidentally dial, so I press end end end repeatedly, but by the time it hangs up, the other party already had my caller id, and would call back asking why I called.
Why is this 3 sec delay built-in? There must be a reasoning behind it.
And while we're on the delay issue, why did they set the camera up with a 3-5 second delay to shoot? Is it for the autofocus? I got rid of the reg setting, now the camera is faster, and no autofocus issues... so why were these delays there to begin with?

How did you changed the shooting delay in camera settings? What registry edit did you made?

its in Schaps Advanced config 3.3 under Camera. But i digress...
it still begs the question, from an engineering standpoint, why did they set up these delays and lags?

I don't know if you resolved your issue.
You just have to erase "~GPRS!" and type in "#777"
No quotes of course.
I use Dotfred Task Manager 3.1

Same problem
I recently got this problem with the answer lag, I was using the same rom, same applications, same everything for the past few weeks. I am not entirely sure what caused the problem.
What would happen is when I get a call and I hit the answer key, the phone stops ringing and vibrating but it would still be flashing and has the phone number shown, I also have the slider installed and when I slide it, the same problem comes up!
In my reg editor, I do not have HKLM!
Any advise would be appreciated, this is getting annoying for both sides of the call.
Thank You
UPDATE
I actually may have found the solution, I removed the wireless manager shortcut when holding the answer button, and so far it's been working very quickly.
Go to settings -> Buttons and switch "button 1" from w/e u had to "<none>" I didn't even restart my phone...
2nd Update
Nope, just got an international call and it's holding it up... maybe it has to do with caller ID ?

HKLM is HKey_Local_Machine

[Q] Hidden Menu - Test Fail

I use the Hidden Menu to adjust the LED brightness, but I don't really know anything else about the many things in it. I was looking at the various tests and checking them out today and noticed something weird. When I did the Gyro Cal Test (in Device Test just above the LED brightness one), I got "Functional Test Result: FAIL" as the result. That doesn't sound good.
Can anyone try that test and see if something is wrong with my phone or if the G2x is supposed to fail that test.
I don't know if my device has always failed that test or, if not, when it started. The only thing that is wrong with my phone is that the screen doesn't come back on after the proximity sensor turns it off during a call. Either the other person ends the call or I have to pull the battery. If you know how to fix that, I'm all ears! [I'm running Tsugi with stock kernel.]
And speaking of the Hidden Menu, does anybody know anything else useful in it other than the LED brightness adjustment?

Not all items in the Hidden Menu have to do with the G2x, example FM Radio Test. I get the same results with the Gyro Cal Test.

Here are two ways of getting to it here.
It's got a bunch of tests for your phone. I've never heard of any major uses for it other than what I do with it, which is adjust the "Touch LED Brightness." I like to turn them down.

You can also set some parameters that are used for GPS; in particular, some people have reported significant speedups by using the Google SUPL server instead of one of the three that are available in the stock ROM.

Where can I choose to use Google SUPL? It's not listed on mine. Only T-Mobile, Spirent, and LGE SUPL. The T-Mobile one was chosen by default on mine. Do you know what is meant by "Use XTRAS" in the same sub-menu?

Yes, those are the three I mentioned that are available in the stock ROM. You have to add the Google SUPL server before you can select it. If you go to the SLP Server Setting screen and hit the menu button, you'll get the choices Add, Edit, and Delete. Hit Add and set "name" to Google, "slp address" to supl.google.com, "port" to 7276, and "certification file" to /etc/SuplRootCert. Leave "TLS Setting" unchecked. Hit the menu button and then Save. You should then have a Google entry you can select. I'm not sure about "Use XTRAS", but mine is checked.

Awesome! And you say this will help with GPS? Do you know what it does/how it works differently? Do you use the Google one? Maybe that makes XTRAS become checked because currently mine is unchecked. It is listed as "Disabled."

I do use the Google server, but it's not clear to me whether it helps or not because my TTFF is not great (but not terrible) and varies a lot. Some people have reported that it gives a big improvement. I don't know what the difference might be other than possibly increased bandwidth or decreased latency when downloading the AGPS data. I don't know what the story is with XTRAS. Sorry I can't help more; you can find several threads here referring to the Google SUPL server.

[Q] Volume setting

Sup guys, new here and I browsed around and didnt find this, maybe its just a setting;
But Im on my new S3, and when I go to hit the volume rocker down (to turn it on silent or up to loud so I can hear call rings) Its changing my In-game volume only. Now I woke up to this, maybe I was asleep and changed something I do not know. But this is a hassle, I know I can change the volume on all three settings by clicking the gear icon to get the pop up window but its seriously a hassle, I want the default volume rocker to control the phones notifications, vibrate function etc. Is this a easy setting fix?
Also, side note to the main problem, but has there been an update or setting put into place for the re-sized text on webpages? I switched from my HTC Thunderbolt and it did that automatically, I read in some reviews this was one of the S3's downfall. I've looked through the IE settings and nothing appears on that subject. Am I just going to have to hold it landscape or scroll to read USA Money all the time?:crying: Hopefully not, but any input is appreciated bros.

It will usually change the volume with respect to your current context, I've seen: if in a game with sound (which is most of them on my phone), it will change the overall Game/media volume, but if on a home screen it changes my ringtone volume. I also get appropriate volume changes for when in a call and/or on my Bluetooth earset.
I only know of going into Settings->Sound or using the gear shortcut in the notification bar or when changing any other sound to alter my System volume.

No, the stock browser has degraded in my opinion: it has no auto-wrap of text for zoomed pages. Opera is now my default browser because of various reasons, but this was the highest priority one to fix (and, Opera re-wraps quite well, IMHO). I have seen other owners here who liked Dolphin browser, too.

In the stock browser, there is actually a setting (not on by default) that makes it auto wrap. Although I use chrome, my roommate uses default and has no problems.

There is an "auto-fit pages" setting under the Settings->Advanced submenu, though this is not the same as word-wrapping, I've found.
If your roommate has a different setting they use, that would be interesting to learn.

Problem fixed, it was a weird app I recently installed that was asking weird permissions, after I uninstalled and restarted, problem fixed.
But not to be a problem after problem thread, but my Burst mode in taking pictures doesn't take the 20 second burst mode, only the 8 "Best shot". When trying to take a 20 picture burst, it only takes one and goes to processing. What could that be?

Possible to switch the position of Answer and Decline buttons for incoming calls?

I moved to the Galaxy S8+ from a Droid Turbo and on the S8+ the Answer and Decline swiping areas are opposite to the ones on the Turbo. I've dug through Settings haven't found anything related to actually changing the position of those buttons. I also don't want to install any themes or icon packs to change it as I like the stock look, so if that's the only option to get it changed I'll just live with it and get used to the different placement! I almost decline every call I want to take and almost answer every call I want to decline, so hopefully my fingers will figure it out soon enough.
Thank you for any input on this in advance!

Hi, you can use physical buttons to end a call
This is in settings / accessibility / answering and ending calls/...
It's better than nothing.

I have thought about that as well, but more than half the time I'm on the phone I use it in speakerphone mode and I hit the power button to turn the screen off. But maybe I'll enable the volume up key to do the job of answering at least.

Ok, otherwise you'll end up getting used to it as you say.
Good luck.

Question Is your touchscreen acting like you long pressed frequently?

I have noticed, especially in Chrome, that my phone often confuses a split second touch of the screen, like when I'm trying to scroll, as a long press. On my previous devices, I can put my finger on the screen and slide a little and hold for a fraction of a second before sliding again, never taking my finger off the display, making it easy to skim without bouncing the screen all over the place, but this same action seems to make the phone think I'm long pressing and sometimes it does it when I'm just trying to flick scroll normally too. It has been driving me nuts and I thought it may just be me since I hadn't seen others complain about it but then today I saw two others say they have the same issue so now I'm curious how prevalent it is.
For the record, I'm running the QPR1 beta 3 but it was doing it on stock .031 too.

@EtherealRemnant
Go to Settings then Accessibility. Scroll down to Timing Controls and change Touch and hold delay to medium.

I can reproduce this issue when I use the full flesh of my thumb to scroll.
In normal use I've had it happen twice or so.

This is why I stick around XDA, people with knowledge about the devices we use.
This cleared up --so far-- all of the quirky errant touches and context menus I've been getting the past week
Thank you!

I've seen it happen a few times while in Chrome from scrolling, but I experienced the same behavior on my Pixel 4 XL.
I'll be scrolling past stuf in Chrome, and sometimes it'll read it as " Oh, you clicked this! " then proceed to load that page up.

I will try this and report back. Thanks. I didn't even think it could be an accessibility setting.
EDIT: Instantly better, thanks!

Unlike the scrolling issue, I've never had this so perhaps it's something only some devices have.

Nice find! I think the short setting is a little too short while the medium setting is a little too long. I wish they could be adjusted manually like you can with the setting on the Google keyboard.

I'm hoping there will be a patch soon that refines the sensitivity. I agree that medium touch-time is a bit too long when you are intentionally trying to access the context menus, but it's much less aggressively annoying than what I was experiencing with the OS

I no longer own my Pixel but when I did it had the problem. Can't remember where I found this solution but it works.......
Using ADB, I've changed the delay timeout to a non-standard value and it seems to have fixed the problem for me i.e. long click delay is consistent every time:
adb shell settings put secure long_press_timeout 401
p.s. For reference standard values are:
Short - 400
Medium - 1000
Long - 1500

I'm not familiar with shell, what would the exact command be, I did try adb shell but entering the above it says secure inaccessible or not found. I would like to try medium setting on 700.
Edit: Nvm I tried again & it worked. I set it to 600 which is better now
