Anyone have Slow Ringer Response problems? It takes 2-3s before a call registers and the phone rings.
Vibrate before ring?
I was missing a lot of calls with like you say a 2-3 second delay before I heard any ringer, then i realized I had phone set to "vibrate BEFORE ring" rather than "vibrate AND ring"
Could it be that?
Good luck.

Well, maybe a second or two at max, but yes there is a delay.
What you can do, depending on your provider, is go into the phone settings, and call forwarding, and adjust the delay before it forwards unanswered calls to voicemail to 30 seconds.
I've made this change on my wife's phone as she always takes 29.9 seconds to find the phone in her handbag!
BadTasteUK beat me to it. This will not solve you delay issue, but should allow you sufficient time to answer the call.
same here. main prob that most people i know only allow 3-4 rings before hanging up.
same here.
i have a regular Phone anf it Allway rings a few seconds B4 the Polaris.
i remember having the same problem with previous htcs. maybe someone has found a way to resolve this. i ll search in the fora for previous models. hopefully we ll find somthing.
the same for mine with China mobile Chinese Version
I have dozens of 'missed calls' that don't ring, due to delay
I think it is connected in two ways:
1) Getting from standby mode is slow, takes a while to start again some services
2) Loading mp3s or wav files(ringtone) takes a small amount of time
Solution:
Find a way to cache sounds and/or have certain call services running all the time(which would drain battery faster)
This is an inherent windows mobile problem, and has been around for ages...
With little effort it could be done.
are all WM affected, or some brands worse than others?
I have found that I always get a delay of one ring before my HTC starts to ring. but it is worse if I use an mp3 rather than a mid or even wma. I also found that if I cut down the mp3's size to around 30 secs then it loads quicker
Try this solution :
Go to "HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script" in registry
normaly, you have this : apw3r
Replace by : apr
Explication :
A = Activation (??? i'm dont know)
W3 = Wait 3s
R = Ring
You can add "v3" if you want vibrate 3s !
No, it doesn´t work... only wait n seconds to repeat playing ringtone
24. Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
erf, sorry
3 second delay
There is a software program called "tweaks 2k2.net". Under the heading of Phone tweaks there is an option to disable the 3 second ringtone delay (it works fine for me). So I think the delay has been put there for a purpose. The only downside is that you have to purchase the software. Hope this helps.
3 second ringtone delay is set and unset in the control panel already
my machine uses sktools, and under "option to disable the 3 second ringtone delay" it was already disabled but still slow.
Never forget again by reminding yourself in your own voice with Audio Reminder Pro.
Use Google Wear to record, schedule, play, or cancel reminders.
Utilizing Google Now alarms you can create your Audio Reminder without ever needing to type with your device.
Remind yourself in your own voice or with the voice of a loved one.
Be woken up with a daily reminder in a loved one's voice.
Reminders play directly on your device's speakers when autoplay is enabled.
Advanced scheduling allows for selecting repeating reminders on specific days of the week.
Play your location reminder the next time you get home with a location reminder.
Need a few more minutes? Just snooze the reminder.
Nothing reminds you better than yourself.
With Audio Reminder Pro you record an audio message and have it play back after a scheduled time or when arriving/leaving a location.
Forget me not.
Audio Reminder Pro was created when I finally got tired of having an idea or plan while in the car only to forget it by the time I got to my destination. I was constantly plagued with thoughts of "There was something I wanted to do, but what was it." With Audio Reminder Pro I simply tap the Audio Reminder widget, say the idea, and in 30 minutes (or however long I decide) Audio Reminder Pro plays my message back to me over my speaker to remind me. If I'm still not ready for the reminder then I can snooze or reschedule it for a later time.
Use the widget to track the reminders scheduled to go off today, view, edit, cancel, or create new reminders quickly and easily. Now that it has Android Wear support you can handle almost every function directly from your watch. Record a reminder on your watch and schedule it for a few hours from now. If you forgot something you can append the recording from within the Audio Reminder Pro app itself.
Audio Reminder Pro was created to take the place of the original Audio Reminder. It has all of the original features plus much more. Quite literally the app so nice I made it twice.
Location based reminders are still in beta.
Some of the features include:
Google Wear specific functionality such as recording, naming, rescheduling, cancelling, dismissing currently playing reminders, and replaying current reminders.
Date picker for long term scheduling
Interval picker for scheduling a reminder after a designated amount of time
Location (beta) reminders for reminding yourself to buy eggs the next time you are near the grocery store or to say happy birthday the next time you are at your friends house
On call protection: Reminders do not play if you are on a phone call or VOIP call and will instead reschedule themselves every two minutes until you are off of the call
Optional reminder repeat audio reminder until the reminder is dismissed or snoozed
Multiple language support (translated via machine translations so likely to be incorrect at times all your base are belong to us)
Ping tones based on your devices notification sounds
Optional Vibration
Configurable Recording length (Up to 60 seconds although reminders can be appended repeatedly within reason)
Search for audio reminders by name
Save or share your audio reminder reminder audio
Advertisements can be enabled or disabled at whim *sniff*

The video displays some data from an older version and has come a long way since then
As I am a new user I cannot post a link to my Audio Reminder Pro. It can, however, be found on Google Play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandon.audioreminderpro
Please let me know what you think. All forms of feedback is welcome.

Hi,
My requirement is for a timer app that lets me do the following:
1. Set and label multiple timers.
2. Each timer must have the ability to sound an alarm and pause at multiple points during the countdown.
E.g. I want to set a timer for 2 hours. I would like to be able to set various points during that countdown, e.g 30m in, 60m in, 75m in at which point the alarm would sound and the 'parent' timer would pause. E.g.
I set a countdown for 2 hours. I specify that 30m in to this countdown I want it to pause.
I start the timer, at 2 hours to go. After 30m an alarm sounds and the countdown stops at 1.5 hours to go. I set another alarm to go off after 25m. I unpause the timer and at the 65m point it again pauses and sounds an alarm.
Does anyone know of such an app?
I couldn't find anything that works this way.
The target audience are gamers or any other activity that require memorizing passing time, like 30 seconds from now, HANDS FREE.
With the app, the user would activate a pre-configured timer with his voice. it would start counting, and when hitting the timer set, the alarm will trigger - giving a beep and a white flash (ie, after the 30 seconds).
for example, playing a game, the user would say "thirty": the app would recognize it as a known command and starts counting, after 30 seconds the device alarms (beeps and flashes).
Requirements:
voice recognition: when activated, the device needs to be listening all the time, as the user can say commands which will start new timers
FAST voice recognition: the simplest approach would be the user to record his own voice for each timer he wants. so the app can compare the commands fast and start doing its thing as fast as possible.
different timers configuration: lets say I want to configure the following timers: 20seconds, 30 seconds, 60seconds and 5 minutes. These would have specific voice commands to activate them.
Monetization:
* the free version can be limited on number of timers and simultaneous timers running.
* configurable timer limit alarm: different sounds and colored flashes per timer
* more precision: configure thresholds for the timers: considering there is delay between giving the command and the app starting the timer, advanced users would want to configure a XXXX millisecond threshold to subtract to the configured timer, so it starts from 29.5 seconds instead of 30 seconds, for example.
There are other features that would be nice to have, i know which.
I think this would be helpful for many people - hands-free timers and the paid version even more so, allowing more simultaneous timers, different beeps and color flashes for timers...
any1 willing to try and do it?
