Has anyone else who has installed the latest version of Google Maps including the Latitude feature for seeing where your friends are had any problems with receiving calls?
I'm not 100% sure it is related but since installing it I have had loads of calls going straight to voicemail with my phone not ringing, sometimes I immediately got the text saying that someone had called but not left a message. It was usually fixed by me rebooting the phone, or making an outgoing call, but after a few hours it seemed to break again.
I have now uninstalled Google Maps and so far the problem has not reoccurred so I'm interested to see if anyone else has noticed this?
Not seen this at all and had Latitude installed since it was announced.
Hard to see why g maps could be causing the problem as it uses the gprs channels.
I suspect the problem might be you are running too many apps at once and then with g maps the memory usage is too much ?
if you are using GM on EDGE or 2G, and you have it running, you cannot have voice and data at the same tine coming through.
this is why 3G came by to allow data and voice simultaneously. no way you can have both on a 2G Network. And since GM will ALWAYS keep your Internet connection alive and transfer data, guess what? ur calls go to VM all the time

Hi,
I have a t-mob wing (after I drove over my magician and I have the following problem: When I am having an active data connection I cannot receive any voice calls. The calls are going directly to voice mail, without notifying me. Once I stop the data connection I can receive calls again and than I will see that I missed a call.
I talked to t-mob support, and after doing a hard-reset (of course) they told me that this is a known problem with the wing, that they are trying to fix it and that there is nothing they can do right now.
1. do other wing users in the US experience the same, so is it the default behavior, or am I just unlucky? (it worked great without a problem with my magician btw)
2. as sometimes during the day the internet connection automatically gets connected (activesync I guess) I never really now if I am able to receive calls right now. Is there a workaround to manually start up and stop the internet connection without the device automatically connecting whenever it feels like it?
thanks in advance

interesting ...
I have had a lot of complaints from people telling me that when they call me, it goes straight to voicemail.
I'm also a US Wing user, and I can confirm that is happening to me as well. Was checking sports scores on my break at work earlier, and my girlfriend called me, and I got a voice message from her...but it never showed that she called.
I also have the issue with people in my fave 5 not showing in the call history anyway, so I guess I lose both ways.
hm,
ok, seems to be a generic problem. Is here anyone who successfully gets voice calls while on a data connection with a wing/herald/p4350?
would be interesting to see if it is a t-mobile or device problem.
thanks
I got a HTC wing and i still get incoming call while browsing the internet. No problem here. i've tested a couple times and they all went through. I have T mobile

hi hondaman,
thanks for the info. whats your provider?
thanks wolferl
"active" data connection is the key
I have the same problem, no voice calls with an active data connection. For me, it seems to be only when the data is actively transferring, like streaming audio or a largish download. Straightforward web surfing doesn't seem to cause the problem, I've received multiple calls while surfing. But during streaming audio, calls go to voice mail every time.
I swear to you, I get calls when I am using data all the time on my Wing. I have the stock T-Mo rom and everything. No CID unlocking, no SIM unlocking.
It happens to me alot that people complain they have called me and it goes straight to voicemail... and its been in cases where im not even using my phone, and as far as I know, I have good signal.
I was running this GB soft program that kept my data connections always on... so I stopped using that to see if I notice a difference.
On the T-Mobile MDA it worked just fine, but on my Wing I can't receive calls while online either.
I just did some testing and I need to correct my original statement. Looks like kerrkj and the others were right. Just being online does not stop you from receiving calls. Just when you are transferring data, the line being actively used, you are not reachable. So, when you are web browsing, it depends whether the moment the call comes in, data is transmitted or not. I was testing accessing different web pages and a couple of times it worked and a couple of times it did not. When streaming audio the calls went to VM 100% of the time.
So, when I am using tomtom and having the traffic check activated, it will be pure coincidence whether you receive a call or not. When streaming audio it will be guaranteed that you are not receiving calls.
I am pretty sure that it was not like that with my magician. Hopefully t-mobile sorts it out sooner than later.
thanks for all your feedback

it happens to me too, i know on sprint with the treo's you can run internet or phone, all calls will go to voicemail if you are on the internet. i just assumed it was that way with all of them.
Hi all,
I just got a wired situation that if I use any application that consistently consumes the network (Such as market download, web browser loading page), the phone call could not reach me. I am using GSM mode of N1. Is this firmware issue or operator issue? Any of you has faced same thing? thanks for feedback~
Currently using unlocked bootloader/RA1.5.3/Enomther 1.4
If you're using GSM mode, it's using either EDGE or GPRS which doesn't support simultaneous voice/data like UMTS
no, my question is whether I can set voice has the high priority than data? so that it can disconnect the data if a call goes in...
crap... i noticed this too today! I use Pandora a lot and people keep getting sent to a lady who says I can't be reached. It doesn't even just go to voice mail (at&t, google viocemail edge only.) I figured the phone would just stop the data transfer and pick up my call :-\
Anyone else know more about this? It would seem that's true in my experiance today and yesterday.
This has been happening, at least on EDGE on T-Mobile USA, for a long time. I got my new phone and moved into a new apartment on the same day in 2006. I had nothing in my apartment, not even a bed or a mattress, or a radio, so I had my T-Mobile MDA playing internet radio all day while I waited for my mattress to be delivered. Meanwhile, the delivery guys were standing outside trying to call me. The call never came through - though it did go to voicemail - and I was stuck sleeping on the floor that night. So I'll never forget that EDGE blocks voice calls

No you can't.

Okay despite completely wiping my flash NAND with Task29 and installing different ROM's, my device disconnects me whenever I attempt to make an outgoing call when I'm downloading apps from the market. People are sent straight to voicemail when trying to download from the market also.
I thought this was just a problem with a ROM I was using but I was wrong and it happens under every ROM I've flashed.
Has anybody else experienced this issue?
Do you see "E" or "G" instead of "3G" or "H" on the top?
Only "3G" or "HSPA" supports calls and data at the same time.
"2G" or "EDGE" does not support it. So yes, when data usage is heavy, calls can't reach.
2G indeed doesn't support calls and data at the same time, but calls always get priority, or at least they should. I don't even think your phone regulates this, I'd ring your provider and check if this is a known problem.
I very rarely see 2G or even G when I'm tethered or downloading anything.
In the past I never had a problem receiving or making calls while tethered or downloading from my device. Today when I tried calling my HD2 (from someone else phone) while tethered, the call didn't go through and I got an error message tell me "We're sorry, all circuits are busy now. Please try your call again later."
I'm paying unlimited data every month but every once in a while I exceed the 5GB threshold and I do recall receiving a message from T-Mobile about going over my limit. Can that have anything to do with the issues are that occurring?
Does anyone anything else they'd like to add? I really appreciate everyones help by the way.
I did a search and I haven't found any info online. Within the past month or so, I have been getting google services connectivity issues where the colors on the bars switch on and off from white to green (meaning there is internet connectivity but no connection to google services). I don't get this problem when I am connected directly to wifi.
This is annoying because if I sign on gchat/gmail, there is a delay until I receive the updated information.
I was hoping that 2.3.4 would resolve this issue, but it still remains.
There is a thread going on about this issue where other people have reported seeing this:
http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=7c7a962fd3ae87e20004a26b2f3f005b&hl=en
Has anyone on the forums experienced this issue? Are there problems with the google services currently? Thanks in advance.
this also happens the other way around. i'm not connected to a phone service, but can see a signal, and when wifi is active and connected, the green signal bars turn green, even though 'no service' is displayed in the notifications.
I've noticed the same thing. Its been happening for the last few weeks.

I have experienced problems with the Google location services on 3G. Since I have gotten the Nexus S and am on 3G my location is always "temporarily not available" - 2.3.3, 2.3.4, various versions of Maps - no fix. Tried clearing out the data and cache in Google services framework, Maps - no go - still same problem.
WiFi and GPS are fine. Tomorrow I will go to service center and see if it is some how related to the phone or the carrier network..
Gmail and Talk seem to work ok....
I have the same problem, connection to google is lost when the phone sleeps and sometimes randomly. I have looked everywhere but can't find any fix or official response. This started around April 14.
This issue is so frustrating, it carries over from rom to rom, my phone is basically useless now!
I had to switch to regular voicemail, cause Google voice is so delayed, gmail and google talk are basically useless too.

Has anyone tried to use data while on a phone call?
Does it work?
I just got the phone and coming from LG G4 on T-Mobile, I was able to use data while on phone calls, however today I was on the Oneplus5 and got a phone call. Person asked me to look up something while we were talking and I couldn't. Chrome timed out and then I tried to pull up an app in the playstore and it timed out there.
However soon as we hung data started working fine.
I only have one SIM in the device.
Anyone experience this ?
I am able to be on the phone while using data. Just in case I just tested it. I'm on T-Mobile in Dallas.
Yes, it works, but speed decreased from LTE to H+
