My friend tried calling twice while I was using 3G Data, he said he could hear the busy tone. Is there a way I can make calls intercept data with 100% success.
It's something having to do with the way CDMA networks handle data transfer.
You can accept calls and use 4G at the same time, but I'm afraid not with 3G/EVDO.

I think he ment that when he was using data calls wouldn't come to his phone.
Calls should automatically interrupt data, i've been booted off the internet, and out of multiplayer games due to incoming calls so you might want to call Sprint perhaps something is awry in your settings.
Settings -> Call -> DDTM Mode

Just to clarify this, you want to make sure DDTM mode is turned OFF, otherwise you will not get calls while you have an active data connection.
If you can't get a call while starting a data connection, this is unfortunately "normal." In CDMA, the phone has to dial to initiate data... while it's doing this you might miss a call. Always-on data should prevent it from really happening to you, but if you're in a poor service area it may have to keep re-dialing to keep a connection alive.
CDMA just doesn't allow simultaneous voice and data right now.
Now I can't get calls, it gives a busy tone for all calls even with data off. I don't know what is going on. good thing my replacement phone is coming in Tomorrow July 6th.

I've been on Sprint for over 10 years. Using data has never made people hear a busy signal. What should happen is that they just keep ringing till they go to voicemail call Sprint something is wrong.

so i just noticed this today (i have the leaked ROM installed) that when i am using the web or checking my email if someone calls they go straight to my voice mail -- i haven't had the phone long enough to know if this is how it is supposed to be or not. Is there a way to get to cancel the data connection and show me someone is calling?

well i read through that and tried what they mentioned but i couldn't get it to drop the data when a call came in.
btw, i'm on Sprint, and no EVDO where i am at so only 1x.
but as i mention in the thread
"i believe that all issues with cellphone internet blocking or being disabled when one recieve a call is purely an issue
with old and poor quality equipment of the cellphone operator in the area"
many old gsm and aparently american cellphone networks too
suffer from not being able to handle both network and calls at the same time
it's an issue in the operator end not the phones
yeah after three emails with sprint (i think most of their CS people are brain dead) they finally told me that it is how it works, no way around it.
one told me that calls go to voice mail when you don't have enough signal -- totally irrelevent to this issue
one told me it was a technical problem with my phone and said i should bring it to a sprint store to get a tech to look at it
and finally after *****ed at them sayint that people (that i assume) don't work for sprint know more about this (thanks Rudegar for your responces) then they do, they finally just came out and said that, yeah this is how it is and there isn't anyway around it.
it seems that this is a better place to get answers then emailing sprint --- although i should have realized that from the beginning, i won't make that mistake again.
well i guess your question has been answered, but figure id add my 2 cents...
it works like this only in EV-DO areas not on 1x....
my ring through works perfectly fine when a call or text comes in, it discconects allows me to do what i want, then it automatically reconnects back to data..
When Im listening to my Pandora internet radio from my G1 in the car, the worst thing I hate is when someone calls me! It stops the music, and sometimes it will start back up right after the call ends, but sometimes it hangs and doesn't want to reload, and I hate being interrupted in the middle of a good song, is there anyway an app can be created that you can turn on (preferably with a widget) that sends everybody's call to the voicemail? Then when im done with the internet radio, I can turn calls back on? I know that it can be done by using call forwarding from settings, but that's too much, I just want a one click app that can do it right away, besides Im on a month to month plan right now (called Flexpay with T-mobile) and call forwarding doesn't work with it.
if one already exists please share...thanks.

That would turn off all wireless connection and kill his internet radio..
Well its quite simple to come up with a convenient way to forward the calls straight to VM and deactivate that mode after you are done listening to Pandora.
Tmobile has a series of star and pound codes that allow quick configuration of call forwarding/cancelling call forwarding. You could use the shortcuts to create a one click dial for two different numbers. One to enable the mode "Straight to VM" and one to disable this mode.
This may not be what you are looking for but is definitely an easier way to help you out.
This is your activating number if you are using Tmobile VM system:
**21*18056377249# (Note some may provide the same number except with a "3" where the "9" is at the end, they both should work)
This is your deactivating number:
## 21#
***SORRY! I did not realize you were Flexpay until just now. This would only work for Postpaid accounts. Tmobile just recently started the ability of letting Flexpay customers convert their accounts into postpaid. Your account may or may not qualify to do this and there is no extra charge of course to convert. Contact customer care to check and see if you would be eligible.
Hope this helps.

Call Blocker - Free - you might here it ring once but after it sends the calls directly to voicemail.
set the option to Block Phone numbers or something like that.

Edit: only allows wifi, can't get my edge/2g/3g services,....but ah well that'll do for now, I've found that Pandora loads much quicker on wifi anyway, with my extended battery I can run wifi all day, only thing is Im constantly connecting to the closest signals in range, anyway I could set up unlimited wifi access with T-mobile?
Is there any chance the Skype mobile apk file could be modified to work on T-Mo network?
Of course this thread might get the easy answers such as:
1) "No"
2) "It cant be done"
3) "It checks verizon's network?"
... but I'd be happier to hear from experts that know how it actually works/could be done.
Verizon skype apk: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rnwab1
No. It cant be done. It checks verizon's network.
Ok, helpful now... There's no need for Skype mobile.
Using it to call normal phone numbers uses minutes. The only free part is using it to call other Skype numbers. And you can already use Fring or Sipdroid from the Market to do this (AND do VoIP calls to normal numbers), so the Skype mobile app for Verizon is pretty much just crap.

Yeah your right it is pretty crappy that Skype put those restrictions on it by sleeping with the enemy (Big Red).
I was just going to see if it could work on T-Mo though because then I could get my family members to use it as well and make good quality voip calls like I could on the iPhone version.
SIPdroid is dear to my heart but the quality on outbound calls is pretty unusable for me, inbound is still good though. I tell all my friends that "if you get a call from me, dont pick up and just call me back."
Fring 3g quality was serviceable before but it was laggy (I would say something and the other person would start talking and then mid sentence would hear what I said and it would mess up the conversation). It probably has had some updates though so I will try it out again.
dunno if this helps but i read somewhere today that vonage is coming to tmobile and att with calls over wifi capability.
3 has got this for a long time now (no Android client yet) but the acctual calling is routed using a gsm center, no VOIP at all. I have installed the apk for t-mobile and it almost does the same thing ( it doesn't work outside tm network)

Thanks for the info you guys! I've made 3 calls over WiFi with Vonage app and the customer service reps say I sound crystal clear
Now for the real challenge boys... Since Vonage can make free domestic calls over wifi. How do we trick the N1, like on jailbroken iPhone's, into thinking its on wifi even if its on 3g?
Edit: The wifi calling is 100% free, dont add any money even if the app asks you for it (just press the back button to get rid of the prompt)

How do you KNOW it was making calls over wifi?
I just signed up and installed it, and no matter what I do, it always calls from my normal phone number, rather than my Google Voice number, which is what I chose during the sign up process.
Also, turning Airplane mode on and then turning Wifi on doesn't let me make any calls. It says disable airplane mode.
Is there a way to KNOW 100% whether the call is being routed over wifi or normal phone?

On my end I can guarantee that its making the calls through WiFi because of the data only plan I am on. T-Mo has two different types of $40/mo data plans:
1) $40/mo with T-mo hotspot access but cannot make ANY calls (except 911)
2) $40/mo without T-mo hotspot access but can make calls for $.10/min
I have the first option and if I try to make a regular call it says "the service you are attempting to use has been restricted or unavailable" and hangs up. Even if I try to make a call through GVoice it says the same thing so I know I cant make any cellular calls. But I can make a call through the Vonage app with WiFi (although I do have to have on Edge/3g with the WiFi your right).
I just checked my T-Mobile account as well and I dont see any minutes used either.
Now if only we can get this thing to think its on WiFi even if only on 3g!

When I set GV to not call intercept, it will just call using my normal phone number. Vonage just sits there doing nothing.
A few times the Vonage dialer has popped up (if I had GV set to make ALL calls), but then Vonage crashed (Force Close).
Bleh, must be an issue with the Desire caller =\
Fring is flawless with skype dumb easy to setup for idiots like myself
I use it w/o a simcard in my g1 and keep my sim in the n1

Except it would if you were using a CDMA carrier. I know it said LTE on the Screenshot but if the Fallback is CDMA then it needs to disable the Data function to insure calls can be sent and received. GSM/WCDMA it doesn't apply. I think it is just turned on all phones by default just to make sure.

Not so sure about that as like I said I have never seen this and I have to use 911 at least a few times a month.
It does make sense for several reasons. I actually work in emergency services. It puts your phone into an enhanced 911 mode where 911 dispatchers can GPS locate you. They also disable data because remember when you couldn't have data and voice at the same time? This is to ensure they can call you back. Google it if you don't believe me.

It's never been an issue for GSM users, just CDMA. So people who never had Verizon/Sprint have probably never had that issue. No idea about the notification, I've not had to use 911 for a long while now. It does make sense to have that mode though, just to be on the safe side. And if it also allows 911 dispatchers to access your GPS location, it's good that it shows the notification. I don't mind them being able to, but I like to know that it's happening. 5 minutes without data is a small price to pay for that.

Ok that could make since. It would also explain whyt I dont see it as I disable just about everything dealing with emergency broadcasts and anything that requires gps needs a pin code to activate. So they couldnt lock on to it if they wanted to.
Now while this may come in handy in the states it is completely useless elswhere.
Come to think about it. Could also be the custom AOSP based rom that I run that has most of that removed.

I cant have data and voice at the same time true... But if I stream a youtube video is does not stop calls from coming in, even though answering the call does stop the video stream.
Sounds like they are covering the worst case scenario. You could be roaming on a cdma carrier even though your carrier is gsm. If you are on Project FI you could be on either at any given time plus they want to make sure they get a accurate gps location in case you phone in a bomb threat or something.
