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.
I have an UK o2 XDA Ignito (gsm diamond) and am running Nataly 2.5.1 ROM. Radio is 1.14.25.55.
Im finding a strange connection issue. I can use 'opera' whenever I want with no issues at all. I update my emails every 5mins which works 80% of the time. I also use pocketweather from SBSH. This updates every 2 hours but I cant manually or automatically update it?? Suddenly at some random time of day in a random place it will update but then thats it for days?? If I test the internet connection from inside pocketweather it confirms that with a certain proxy it had a successful connection to the net and opera works fine but it still wont update?? Any ideas? very annoying?
Dont know if its linked but Ive been having trouble with SMS too. I can be texting someone with no problems then suddenly I wont recieve a reply? Ill leave a while then respond again and suddenly after I send I recieve 2 or 3 messages (sent at the time the other person sent them but arrive all same time for me??) This is extremely annoying as missing some very important texts
Any advice would be much appreciated??
For two or thre days I always get a busy signal whoever i call. I realised it quite late, because I also use different phones, but. People can call me, but i can't call call anyone.
I also can't send any sms messages and it asks if it shall resend them.
Though the phone stills go online and receives Emails and so on....
So:
i can be called
Data conection works
outgoing calls and sms do not work
so i've been using CM7 for a while and never had a problem but it seems these past few weeks, when i'm using my wifi hotspot to tether my laptop i won't always receive texts or calls.
it seems like select people's texts will come through but i won't get others until i turn off my hotspot.
also i don't get any calls..when i turn off my wifi i may get a voicemail but no missed calls.
also im running smartass' kernel.
please any help on this, its really aggravating, haha my family thinks i'm avoiding and ignoring them.
I am using a Verizon S8 on cricket wireless. The problem I have is sometimes (many times) I can not receive calls or txts. I don't see missed call. The caller directly went to voice mail after 2 rings. After tried many methods, I still have this problem. I found this happens when aftrr there's no wireless activity for a few minutes. Once there's any wireless activity, e.g. sending txt, making calls, browsing internet (data), it then become normal and be able to receive calls txts for a while, and is able to receive txts previously not received (never get missed calls though). Anyone knows what's going on or had this problem as well? TIA!
