Works on my htc rezound on lte and i'm fairly certain it's the only phone save the thunderbolt that can also do it on cdma.
EDIT: Yup, works like a champ!
On SIII on vzw 3g also works when on calls

Read somewhere that this was possible due to the dual radios in the phone...
And I just tried it... and it worked, so yes, it can do voice and data simultaneously!
data and calls work on sprint simultaneously 3g and LTE (in theory LTE anyway)

Both rezound and thunderbolt can do data and voice over 3G cdma as they both have dual 3G radios.
I didn't think the GSIII could though. Am I reading right that people with sprint and this phone can?
That'd be nice if the Verizon version can. One thing I love about my rezound.

it's not actually a limitation of cdma, it's a limitation of Verizon, and i actually believe it's an artificial limitation, likely to "protect their network and users", as they like to claim for everything....

As in, be on a phone call and browse the net at the same time? Yep....but I've been able to do that since my Atrix 2....dont remember if my x10 could.
via Galaxy S III
I was just doing some WiFi tethering and I received a phone call... Noticed I was still getting emails. My first thought was that my laptop automatically reconnected to my work's wireless connection. NOPE! I verified again with an outbound call... Data works on the phone and over tether DURING the phone call. Supposedly this was going to be a feature of EVDO Rev. A, but Sprint had not initiated it yet. This is freaking fantastic. I guess our phones started using 3G for voice
Sprint SGSIII blue
Sprint enabled this under their network as part of Sprint Vision. It is basically an advanced 1X data network that allows data while on phone calls. Only the newer phones with certain frequencies support it. Doesn't force us to use 4G or Wi-Fi if we want data and phone calls together. IPhones do not support this unless you're on a GSM network which Sprint isn't. Sprint is CDMA like Verizon.

It would make sense that the baseband and build are different. After all, the radios for Sprint, both 3g and 4g, are completely different technologies than what we have in our plain Nexus S phones.
That also begs the question: If you're not in a Sprint 4g area, or are in an area where coverage is crappy, can you use data and voice simultaneously over the 3g? This is a common CDMA problem. I'm thinking you cant. Sucks to be those guys...

No - AFAIK there's only one phone that supports simultaneous voice and data over EVDO and that's the Thunderbolt. Normally the phones drop to 1xRTT when a call is initiated (at which point data says goodbye).

Thunderbolt review
http://www.bgr.com/2011/03/28/htc-thunderbolt-review/
The HTC ThunderBolt is able to send and receive data and carry voice calls simultaneously. It the first of many Verizon Wireless smartphones that will be able to carry voice calls while moving data, and it can do so over Verizon’s new 4G LTE network as well as its older 3G EVDO network. I tested this capability a great deal over the past week, and it has worked flawlessly for me. Whether connected to 3G or 4G, apps and web pages on the ThunderBolt continue to hustle along while voice calls are being made. I’m not sure if this new technology plays a role in the noticeably degraded audio quality I noted above, but the functionality is there so and many users will be elated.
either i am miss understanding this part or verizon enabled something to allow voice/data over their 3g cdma network

You might need to check that boat schedule, yourself. The 3G and LTE antennas/radios are separate, just like Sprint's 3G and 4G. So, if you live on a market that Verizon has yet to light up their LTE and you'll be in the same boat.
I would hazard a guess that the reason you've not seen either Verizon or Sprint actually promote simultanious voice/data as AT&T does is that it's limited to markets where they've lit up LTE/4G.

4g wimax/ LTE both?
Got the epic a few weeks ago and the display sheet for the phone showed wimax and lte but the evo didn't. So I asked the sale person if it is a typo and he said no. The phone would need just the software to enable the LTE. He asked a co worker and he said the same. Does the epic actually have a wimax/lte enabled chip or are they just going by a typo? Was just wondering as I know sprint is looking at LTE now.
Highly doubt it...there isn't much of a way to get a sim card in the phone...
A combination flustercuck of a typo and reps who don't know what they were talking about.
Epic has no LTE hardware.
I figured they were stupid. I figured if they really put both chips in here the cost would be more kinda like a global phone. Would be cool though if they would and allowed us to use verizons lte just like roaming on the 3g side.

Lte doesn't need sim cards and he didn't say gsm say your response is not valid. I'm not 100% on this but all sprint has to do for lte is switch out very minor things. The only difference with our phones is the spectrum it is looking for. So since we have 4g and maybe the software can make it lte. Its possible I think.

Ummm no...the entire protocol is different.
there are currently 3 popular 4g implementations.
HSPA+ with Extended Backhaul (ATT, Tmo)
LTE (VZW, Metro, non national carriers, EVENTUALLY ATT and Tmo on different freqs)
WiMax (Sprint)
The only thing these share is the 4G monicker. The technologies are enitrely different, the protocol is entirely different, the modems are entirely different.

That's what the 2 best buy employees said. Wasnt sure as most there are there for the money and know nothing. I asked if the evo had the LTE chip too as it wasnt listed and they said no but the Epic did. I couldnt imagine sprint leaving people hanging in today's phone battles. I will have to ask a store manager if they work there and see if they have any knowledge of it yet or if we will be able to roam. I thought LTE was near the same freq. for sprint and verizon with sprint just having the larger freq bandwidth due to LTE WIMAX.
This came up back when WiMAX was first being introduced. I remember the CEO for Clear said multiple times that the WiMAX infrastructure was software "swappable" to LTE. It wouldn't surprise me if phones were the same.
So anybody heard about the new evo update allowing them to talk and be on the internet at the same time?

I am moderately surprised this hasn't happened yet. Given that we have a wifi chip, an FM receiver, bluetooth, 3G, 4G...some phones have had FM transceivers as well, NFC, etc....
I am not surprised, however, because bandwidth is very limited...we're not talking back-haul, we're talking actual radio wave space....I'm dying to know what breakthrough will come along to alleviate that.
If anyone wonders why your mobile internet sucks it's oversaturation....not of the back-haul line that connects the cells to the backbone but of the very air itself as allocated. There's only so much physical space in them airs. Too may people, not enough frequencies, bands are too narrow, too many things need their own band.
It isn't a limitation. I used to do this on my Treo 755. Sprint set it up so we can't do this. There are two types of internet packages we can get for our phones and they basically ended the other one. lol.however, not many people knew that.

Exactly why WiMaxx 4G was established, to enable that capability.
GSM is only able to achieve this because they have HSPA for the data side if i'm not mistaken.
Sprints already in the works on switching to LTE 4G, I wonder if they can just make it a hybrid WiMaxx/LTE network and have a radio capable of using either...
So when Sprint switches to LTE, will the current 4G phones work still?
There is a newer version of the CDMA spec that allows it, but Sprint hasn't deployed it. It's unclear if they will, and it's unclear whether existing phones could be upgraded to use it if they did.
For now, it's just like it always has been on all CDMA devices...no 3G data while you're on voice.

No, it is a huge limitation with cdma. Sprint isn't the only one with this limitation.
The tbolt is the only Verizon phone to offer it. It has svdo (?.) Technology. We wont be able to do it with an update.
Hi, about a week ago I finally upgraded to the S4 from the S3. And so far, I absolutely love the phone! Only let down, no SVDO (which is dual CDMA radios allowing for simultaneous phone calls and data for those of you who don't know). Because that was one of the features I loved about the S3 and I utilized often. Especially during boring phone calls and/or being put on hold for while. It would allow for me to surf the web, or go on FB while being on a call.
But rumor has it that they decided to forgo SVDO because Sprint was well on their way in deploying LTE, and simultaneous LTE/Voice is possible.
I don't currently live in an LTE area. Can anyone in an LTE area confirm if this is true??
Thx.
Yes it works with LTE as the LTE and call use two different radios. Thus letting us use voice and data at the same time. Works while on WiFi too. Only 3g it doesnt.

Yes it only works on WiFi and lte for Sprint. All though other carriers that actually have good networks and even t-mobile can do it. Just one more thing Sprint's network lacks.

Nope. You need LTE or Wifi. The S3 will probably be the last phone to carry SVDO
