I've got a T-mobile UK touch plus.
Currently, if I am using the data connection then all incoming voice calls are being sent to voicemail. This occurs with a GSM connection, which is part of the spec and is fine, but also with the 3G connection, which should allow the incoming voice call through. I have spoken to t-mobile and they acknowledge this problem and say they are working to fix it.
Is it likely there will be a fix for this? Is there a radio ROM already available that fixes the issue?
Sorry if this has already been covered - I searched with a pretty wide variety of terms and didn't find anything conclusive.
I have the same phone, same network... and it still rings while i have the "3g connected" symbol (3g with two arrows pointing left and right) showing.
Havent tried while connected to GPRS cuz im not sure how to force it into G mode while im near a phone.
Sorry, I should have been clearer - the phone will ring with an unused 3G connection, but not when data is actually being sent/received. This is the behaviour you would expect from GSM, but the 3G spec should allow voice calls through regardless of data - my Vodafone v1605 has no problem with this. T-mobile say it is the device not the network, I just wonder how likely I am to get a fix for this? It could be a problem with activesync using the data connection quite frequently.
A good way to test it is with google maps, or something that will maintain a constant connection, then call your phone. 3G should put the call through, but it will be rejected to voicemail instead.
FYI to put into GSM mode;
Settings>Phone>Band>Set top option to GSM, leave bottom on Auto
same problem here. but i only expreienced that randomly
i know that gprs can not handle data and voice. but 3g should, right?
Yes, 3G should be able to run voice and data streams simultaneously without any problems. I'm surprised there is not more interest in this because it seems to be a pretty major problem with the device if you cannot receive calls while browsing or otherwise using the data connection.
Me too
I experienced this too. I have an direct HTC Touch dual rather than the t-mobile branded version but I'm using a t-mobile sim. I use Exchange Activesync and am missing calls all the time.
fwiw, i experience the same with a Nokia e61 on 3-AT network with exchange active.
It seems that T-mobile have fixed their network today to allow calls while using data. Bonus.
So has anybody been noticing that sprint has had "network failures" alot lately? I cant send texts or sometimes even make calls as if my phone was deactivated. I was just curious who else has had this problem.
Hello...
Here in the Detroit area, we are experiencing the same issues. It's known by Sprint... Just be patient - unfortunately!
Haven't seen this in New York.
I can't receive incoming calls today -- data is working fine (internet, text messaging, & email) and outbound calls are working... I'm also seeing a roaming triangle that I usually don't see... Earlier today calls to my cell phone got a busy signal -- now they get an "all circuits are busy" message...
Hey Peepz,
Im having some issues sending a picture message. it is stuck on sending and thats all it does.
i have the right APN settings as i got this from my carriers web page (vodafone)
I can browse the internet using packet data and thats the same APN as the MMS.
Is anyone else having / had MMS issues and does anyone know of a fix
Any help is greatly appreciated
I often have the same problem. It normally sends alright first time if I have good reception and a good gprs signal. But if I don't when I first try to send it it can be stuck as "sending" for quite a while even once I've moved back into an area with strong signal
Maybe, it's a matter of size. Generally, phone operator limits the mms size to 300K.
Maybe, it can solve your issue.
Everything works except 3G. Roaming & LTE work fine and I even tried messing with the network settings and still no luck. Maybe i don't have my network settings correct or messed it up some how? Ever since I installed 10.2 it barely works for 3G. Ill get a spurt with receiving facebook messages here and there. I still get my texts and images from texts in 3G and everything. just nothing big really like snapchat or facebook.
Hopefully someone can help
Thanks,
Tim
Hi there,
I need help. I am on a NZ Note 4 N910U. What often happens is that my phone prefers or "hangs" on low 4G reception instead of changing to 3G or HSPA+. While this is occurring SMS fail to send constantly until it decides to change down to 3G.
Has anyone else had this problem? My carrier is having difficulty accepting this as a problem because the SMS that fail to send apparently do not show up on their servers and I am currently at a stalemate with them over this.
There appears to be some spotty coverage of this type of issue on the internet but nothing with a solution.
I have tried a logcat but it only seems to show that the messages fail.
