Is it possible to maintain a data connection and phone connection at the same time?
Currently, if my phone is connected to the internet through an HSDPA data connection, the connection is dropped when I receive a phone call over 3G.
I use my niki's HSDPA connection (FarEastTone in Taiwan) for connecting to the 'net on my home PC, but it is also my primary phone so I would like to be able to keep the internet connection alive when receiving or making calls.
Any ideas?
Thanks
EDIT: It appears to be holding the connection now, so I can stay online and talk on the phone at the same time, but it kept disconnecting last night. Here's hoping it lasts.

Hi,
Got my Jasjar today and very happy with it. I am in and out of a LOT of Wifi zones daily so was wondering if there is a way, when WiFi and GPRS are both on and im in a WiFi area all net connections use WiFi not GPRS/3G if both are active.
I did a test and it seemed my messenger program was still using the GPRS connection when on the WiFi Network.

I need to get a proper answer - but I have discovered this.
I walked home from work the other day on MSN using 3G.
I arrived home, and the unit picked up my WiFi signal and connected.
I then dropped the phone (radio) link using the control panel.
The MSN connection remained active, and I remained on WiFi even when bringing up the phone radio again. WiFi was definately being used in this instance.
I wasn't able to tell whether or not this would work WITHOUT turning the phone part off and back on again.
Yeah that is whats happening here. I put on GPRS monnitor and set it to watch the GPRS connection only and hit my WiFi spot, even when wifi was connected it was still using the GPRS to send/recieve internet data. If I then turn off GPRS the it carrys on as if nothing had happened on Wifi.
With the cost of mobile Data these days it really should always default to a connected WiFi connection if its available and not the GPRS/3G connection.
I suppose a utility that disconnected GPRS when a WiFi connection becomes active would effectively do this as once you are out of the WiFi spot GPRS would be initiated to make connection.

I don't have the Vox yet (I'm an idiot for ordering it right before a freaking holiday) so I'm not sure if this already happens or not but...
Say for instance I'm connected to the internet/aim/whatever through wifi. However, I end up moving too far away from the hotspot and end up dropping the signal. When this happens, is there a way to make the GPRS automatically come in and replace the connection? Is that within the settings of WM6 or is there an app that does this? Can it even be done if it hasn't already?
it happens automatically to me
if the wifi connection is so slow or weak it starts to connect to gprs which actually annoys me
MMM
When I configure automatic connection trough GPRS, the phone connects via GPRS, even if a Wi-Fi connection is present. Ther should be a way to prevent usage of GPRS when connected trough wi-fi. Anyone knows how to do it?
Is it possible to be able be connected to 3G, Edge etc while talking on the phone...I tether my 8525 to my carPC and everytime i get/make a phone call the connection disconnects. Anyway to keep the connection?
I've found that when connected via GPRS the the connection drops but when using 3G it stays open.
i had the same issue, i was running aim on my 8525, and i couldnt make a phone call for some reason... so i had to shut down aim, and then make the call?
by the way, did you get to tether ur 8525 to ur laptop becauseyou have laptop data plan? or can i do this with my unlimite PDA data plan?
Edge/gprs = NO
3g/UTMS/Hsdpa = YES.

Hi there,
I have this little question...
I would like that my hermes knows which connection to use when checking mails etc.
I'll explain.
At work and home I have my wifi connection, on the road my 3G connection. I would like to have my data connection always on, but when i'am at the office or at home, when checking my mails every 15 mins, I would like that my phone knows that he need to use the wifi connection.
Now, even when there is a wifi connection, he is making the connection trough 3G. I hate it that i always need to put my 3G connection off when at home or office. I would be funnier that i can leave it on and he is making the right choice of connection?
Anyone an idea?
I don;t realy understand. As hermes always using WiFi conection (if is connected to the hotspot) first, before 3G, so that's mean if you are connected! to you WiFi network phone will yous this connection to get your e-mails.
Yup, it was my error... sorry about that
Is there a way to allow the phones data connection to connect and then turn itself off again?
For example, I have my work email set to sync every 4 hours, I usually have my data connection turned off to save battery life. So when it comes to sync time the data connection turns itself on, I get my emails sync'd but the data connection stays on, wasting battery life! Not good... is there a way to allow the data connection to turn itself off?
Also, how do I set up my internet connection so that when I have a wifi connection (which has already been setup) available it connects to that automatically instead of the data connection?
Thanks.

By default, if you're connected to a wi-fi, it should be automatically chosen to connected to the internet. Only in absence of wi-fi that data connection (3G) is invoked.

Actually, there's no impact on battery usage when you're on data connection. Jade was design to work on 3G connection. There's a thread discussing this subject.
AFAIK, there's no way to automatically disconnect data when your'e done
