Slot Cycle Index

[jhumberger]

Does anyone know what the code is on the Motorola Droid to access the menu to change my Slot Cycle Index? I thought it would be in the programming menu but I could not find it...

Thanks

Anyone know how to do this?

why would you want to do this?

The Slot Cycle Index is how often the phone checks with the network for calls. The default is Slot Cycle 2 which means the phone checks for new calls every 5.12 seconds. This is why when someone may call you, it might ring 3 or 4 time on their end before your Droid will start to ring.

I recently found the instructions on how to change this on my htc eris, and I changed it to slot cycle 1 which means it checks with the network every 2.56 seconds. This made a huge difference and I want to change it on my droid. In most cases this can be changed by doing ##PST - but this does not work on the Motorola Droid...

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Sounds like that might take a hit on battery life....

It might a little bit - but I can go 2 days without charging... if it bumps it down to 1 day, I am ok with this...
