Sprint/Verizon/Alltel phones: Have a delay when answering a call with data connection? Read on.

Seems as if that popular tweaking app Schaps Advanced Configuration program and perhaps other GSM-based "tweak" apps (e.g. Diamond Tweak) might be causing a nasty side effect on CDMA (Sprint & Verizon) phones.

Problem: Ever had an incoming phone call and when you answered it lagged big time?

Turns out that this occurs when you have an active data connection.  In theory, the phone should immediately shut that connection and you should be able to answer the call instantly.  And it does...unless you inadvertently change some registry settings, specifically ones related to "force data disconnect".

Thanks to ppcgeeker snovvman, you can verify if you have the problem. Simply open up your favorite registry editor (see our great guide here) and look under:

--> HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/SuspendResume

If that value reads ~GPRS, you have a problem;  Its should be set to #777 (a least for Sprint users).  While manually editing the registry is probably the best way, Juggalo_X created a .cab file which may work for some.  Remember to wait about 10 seconds and then soft-reset to take effect.

I dont know if this will fix my problem with the Sprint Motorola Q9C. It seems like whenever my phone is using data, ex: my gmail is syncing to push emails, and I could not make phone call. I will give me an error saying that network is not available, something like that. Does my phone support to disconnect data and allow me to make phone calls whenever I want?
Anyone knows this problem?

It appears that is the issue I have. I was using tweak program to disconnect the data after a specific number of minutes. The calls would LAG when I pressed the answer button. I put it back to #777 and now the issue seems resolved BUT it doesnt disconnect the data after a specific # of minutes. Does having it disconnect save battery life? If so, I want that feature back but not the delayed cal answer issue. I am on a Sprint treo 800W
