I've had a few users of my ROM mention that they can't use the phone and still have 3G active at the same time. As soon as you make a call, the 3G connection stops.
I've tested this myself...the 3G icon still shows, but no data can transfer until the call is ended...a good way to test is to do a speed test or download while making a call.
They say the stock Telstra ROM does let you do both, so obviously I have missed something somewhere...
Does anyone know what it could be?
Appreciate any help on this one...
oh! maybe im wrong but if you are using 3G data call you must to wait for it to end, then make a voice call
According to the user, you canuse 3G data connection to download and still make a voice call at the same time on the official ROMs. On my ROM it doesn't work.
neither in my rom you know...
In the canvas mui.. are a dialog square saying... please wait til the data call ends to make a new voice call.
Maybe im wrong.
Yea, they don't want to make a data call and voice call...they just want to keep using 3g data connection while making a voice call...they dont want to make a data call.
try using telstra dialer and dependent pkgs see if it works then.

I upgraded to 2.24 Tmobile official beta ROM. and it seems that I cant get phone calls while im streaming thru EDGE/GPRS not just streaming also like browsing and stuff, phone calls go straight to voicemail, is this how it was on 2.17 or 2.21 ? Because I tought it worked before !!!! Can anyone confirm please...
Can some one please verify regarding this, can some one just try browsing somethign and call them selvs and see if it goes straight tru to voice mail on a diffrent ROM please....
Yozh:
I had an 8125 on the Cingular network running Summiter's 2.17 ROM, and the phone call always interrupted any web surfing I was doing, and/or disconnected IM+ (which uses gprs/edge).
That phone broke (d'oh!) and I got another one that was running the stock ROM. Same thing.
I now have a new 8125, and just upgraded to Summiter's 2.3 ROM (thank you Summiter!), and the phone acts the same.
I've never experienced an issue where the phone call goes directly to voice mail... that I know of.
Very strange, I tought thats what mine used to do before the 2.24 ROM it used to interupt the GPRS session for a phone call. ANyone else that can confirm that this is just an issue in 2.24 ROM ?
Anyone else that can confirm this ?
Or maybe there is a registry setting for this ?
I have always thought it depends on what your gprs connection was doing.
if it is connected but idle, then calls will come through. if it is connected and in use, downloading a file or something, then it won't be interupted by a call.
as far as I know, this is the way gprs was desgined to work. can anyone confirm?
I dont want to go back to the 2.17 ROM just to test this. But it looks like no one out there would do it for me .... I could of sworn that it worked before..
yozh;
I have the same ROM and I DO get my calls, they DONT go to voicemail.
It's not the rom. Its the way GPRS works. Try to download constant packets of data(like streaming a high quality video) ON ANY ROM and try calling you at the same time. it can and it WILL go to voice mail.
That being said, sometimes you might be downloading a lot of data and you phone MIGHT STILL RING! This is because GPRS uses multiple different channels than then one used for voice, but this feature is just a plus, its not something you can always rely on.
Just something i wanted to add: This rom had brought me incredible reliabily on my GPRS connection and, paired with the cingular radio rom, its close to perfect for me. Maybe because with this rom the GPRS is always working full-speed and optimized, pushing the MOST of data it can, calls might be going to voicemail more often than normal? Its just a thought and maybe its a stupid one, but on my understanding the more data its pushing, the greater the chances it will go to voicemail.
Hope that helps.
Strange because MDA is class B device and class b device should
Class B
Class B mobile phones can be attached to both GPRS and GSM services, using one service at a time. Class B enables making or receiving a voice call, or sending/receiving an SMS during a GPRS connection. During voice calls or SMS, GPRS services are suspended and then resumed automatically after the call or SMS session has ended.

So thats kinda strange Im telling you Tmobile is doing something, I need someone with 2.17 or 2.21 to check this please[/quote]
Similar problem with 2.25
I just updated to 2.25 ROM and have a similar problem. In this case, it seems that once I make ANY GPRS connection, the voice channel no longer works. Outgoing call just don't connect and incoming are directed to voicemail. It still indicates a strong signal to the Cingular netowrk, and data apps still work (for example, the voicemail notifications and email keep coming in). I have to stop the data comm and then cycle the phone (voice) connection in order to get voice back.
Any suggestions? Cingular is advising me to downgrade back to 1.8 ROM - but they don't even have a link to get it!
What programs are you using?
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53432
It documents the problem...
I'm wondering if it's true that, we wizard user can't surf or transfer data and also have calls come in. Also cause this phone isn't 3g?
If so is there a tweak or program that will boot you off wifi or internet that you are doing, and have the call come in. I mean it's a phone no point have a phone if calls can't come in.
thanxs would like to know if anyone have an answer for this.

The fact that you cannot talk and surf at the same time has nothing to do with 3G. GSM/GPRS is capable of being able to talk on the phone and have a data connection. You have to have a GSM Class A device to do both at the same time. The Wizard is a Class B device. You can read more about this here http://www.gsmworld.com/technology/gprs/class.shtml Scroll down to the bottom.
If you are missing calls, it might have something to do with your provider. I have T-Mobile USA, and my phone is connected to GPRS/EDGE almost constantly. I don't miss calls. When you have an incoming call, your provider should suspend the data session to allow the voice call to come though.
Understood.
Thanxs d0ug for straighten all the question I had about it.
I searched around and was unable to find an answer to this.
When listening to streaming radio either through Last.fm or streamfurious I can not receive phone calls? If anyone calls me it goes directly to voice mail. As soon as I stop internet radio calls come through again.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

If your not on 3G then it is because you are using all of your 2G service. If you use 3G then you can use it for data and internet and 2G for texts and calls.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Bleh, wrong thread. Delete plz!

Not knowing exactly how our phones carry the signal for internet and voice calls that seems like a logical answer to me. Huge drag for me though I love turning on internet radio in the car and piping it through my system. Even on 2g it sounds and streams great. But the lack of not receiving calls I suppose I will have to stop that habit lol. Who knows when 3g will roll out in my area...
oh well. Thanks for the info.
Doug
It's true that it's impossible to use data and voice at the same time on 2g, but it's the app that should pauze itself for an incoming call. Or Android should have been able to do this! Atleast that was the case with my last phone. While checking something on internet, call display appeared on incoming calls and browser disappeared. Call ends, browser reappears.

Well maybe it is something that just has to be change with the current internet music streaming software. I have tried three different ones and they all do this so it doesn't look good for a pause feature when a call comes through.
I have no idea how hard that would be to add to the current software. I suppose if you had 3g you wouldn't worry about this but as we all know, T-Mobiles 3g coverage is lacking.
Doug
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I got my google invite and set up my google voice accordingly. I changed my call forwarding settings to "show number", but anytime I make a call, it says "could not connect to google" retry with google voice. Signing in. Can someone please help me!!!!
Do you have Wifi, or 3G enabled. I think that you need some way of connecting via Internet for it to work correctly.
Maybe reinstalling the app might help, can't hurt. Just going by your message it sounds like the data connection is the issue, are you sure you have coverage? Or fast enough coverage? Try to use it on a wifi network and see if it works.
As far as I know from mine U have to have 3G to make the call Edge wont work. If you are in a 3g area you should be good. Also if you are on a custom rom check the notes on that build. Hope this helps.
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.
