    Call Timeout Hack!

    Finally!

    Posting it to make sure I can find it again in the future... one of my favorite hacks of all time.

    Ever get annoyed at the delay when a call ends and find yourself pressing the 'End Call' button over and over again?

    Well no more!

    Create the following DWORD value:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone\
    CallProgressIdleTimeout = 1000

    I set mine to 1000 (milliseconds) because I want it gone fast. You can set it however you like.

    Enjoy!

    Caution: Can be a wealth of info, or make your brain hurt:

    Interesting. I know the feeling!

    How'd you find it?

    I just tried it and it works!

    I first set it to 10000, made a call then hung up, then set it to 1000, made a call then hung up and the differnce was obvious.

    No reboot needed between changes.

    Nice hack!

    Glad you like it... I was starting to wonder if I'd ever figure it out again, I had it before MOL4 for Alltel was released then forgot what I did lol.

    It's a great hack! :D

    I have no way to test it but I don't see why not.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone\
    CallProgressIdleTimeout = 1000

    Once I got to phone, mine doesn't have the "callprogressidletimeout" listed ... I have a Q, just Q, (the grey one). anyone know if this hack is an option for me? I hate that delay after the call ends.
