Depends on your carrier. GSM has separate multiple radios (modem and voice). CDMA does not (exception: WIFI will allow you to browse while in a call).
Not possible in the Sprint variant unless you have LTE or WiFi available while you are making the phone call. As Sprint builds out its LTE network, this situation should become less of an issue.
So this phone isnt able but the sgs3 is. These are both from sprint. I dont have lte available in my area but was always able to multi task like that before

The SGS3 is supported by svdo while the SGS4 is not supported. As someone else has said if your on Wi-Fi or LTE (which I seen you do not have yet), your good to go. But not on 3G.

Yeah, it would have been nice. I have LTE all around me, so it hasn't been a problem for me. Sucks most of you guys haven't got it yet in your area. My GNote isn't supported either. I'm assuming (as well as someone else stated) with LTE being deployed, not having it supported wouldn't be a problem. Now the problem is customers not having LTE in their respective areas.

So i found this thread that says S3 and Evo LTE only works data and voice.
is there way to work data and voice same time?
i do a lot calls and i need to check mails and etc.
Not on 3G with the S4, however, voice and LTE work if you have LTE service in your area.

What the heck are you talking about. You're on an international phone. So it shouldn't matter if sprint can't do voice and 3g at the same time.

I drive semi it is more productive when you can look up street view roads that may have weight limits height restrictions as you are calling the company letting then know about when you will arrive.we as drivers only have a certain amount of time to drive a day.thus makes my day that much more productive. Ten extra mins could be whether I make it to the next town or not.

That's not what I am talking about. I don't see why its a concern to you if by the look of it, you don't have a sprint gs4. If you want to be on the internet and phone at the same time. Stay with a gs3.

I did the free unlock method and pop in a prepaid t- mobile micro Sim card and wile it don't prompt for an unlock code it surely don't/won't connect to internet or even show E ,4G,4G LTE at all.I have to switch to stock rooted MDL just to use the service mode *#0011# and have tried just about everything with the exception of using fastgsm.com on the account of not owning a computer. I even tried sha256 back on and inserted the T-Mobile card and enter *#0011# to repeat the process. Still no unlock code prompt either way and no real service either way.anybody can reply/pm me

Tmobile has poor coverage. Good prices, but poor coverage.
That's not the reason. OP is using an AT&T S4. Any time you use an AT&T phone on T-Mobile, all you get is 2G.

What?
Like I said before, any time you bring an AT&T phone to T-Mobile, all you get is 2g data. Anything you try to get better will not work. If you want better either buy a T-Mobile device or get an international version of the device. Best option in this case is to sell the AT&T phone and use that money towards a new device.

I had issues with Tmobile at my house, just sitting outside on the deck... 1 bar of EDGE. Phone calls would work 25% of the time. Data would work, but rarely.
[soapbox]
As a side note... I HATE the current state of the cell phone industry in the USA. All phones should be unlocked, penta band, and sold directly from the manufacturer. Issues like this would never come up and the prices would stay down to be competitive.

While that is very true, providers/manufacturers don't want competition. They want to own everything.

From what I can tell, it looks like the process didn't flash correctly. Restore your backup (assuming you made one) and try again. It could have been a bad download. Try re-downloading the needed files. If that still fails, try another USB port and wire if necessary. If all else fails, t-mobile sucks horribly in your area.

Try an app called telinfo in the app store. Go to the options and select LTE only. Hopefully that will solve the issue for you.

I had the same problem with dropping 4g.. This app works beautifully. Thanks for this.
4G is the same for me as with the Note 2. We live in a rural area, so an occasional switch to 3G is not unheard of. But 99% of the time, my 4G is solid.

Noticed when i use the app to set for LTE only that phone calls dont come thru. Calls goes straight to voice mail. Anybody else?
Quick bump... I'm having same issue as OP and the program doesn't work for me either.
A little update... I took my phone to verizon to swap out for a new phone because of constant 4g drops to 3g and 1x, Rep advised he had seen my problem fixed with a new sim card before. I hesitantly accepted to try it not thinking it would fix my problem but considered oh well if it does I wont have to setup a new phone so whats the worse that could happen. 5 days later im happy to report my 4g drops have been non existant. My 4g is as reliable as it was on my note 2.
Mine drops out on me on train ride where Verizon says it's supposed to have 4g. I'm not sure if it's supposed to since I never had Verizon until this phone release.
Is there an equivalent to At&t's Mark the Spot app that reports to Verizon dead zones and such?
Hello.
I have a L720 with a active vzw sim card and the phone is running cm11 but it says roaming in the status bar but the phones 3g and phone and texting works. Is there a way to get it to say 3g of lte up there? A better rom maybe? I have searched and there is no one that has this phone on vzw. Any help would be so nice! Thanks
Have a great night.
I'm pretty sure Verizon and sprint use different spectrums for LTE you'll get 3g but no lte

That's because the s3 is able to use 3G and calling at the same time. The S4 doesn't have the hardware for it. Since you say you have 4G in your area, when you make a call are you connected to 4G or 3G?

Well all I can tell you is it works great. I just tested it, my phone was showing LTE, I placed a call, and when I was on the call I opened up internet and surfed a couple of pages, ran a speed test, and surfed facebook. So it is definitely something you are doing. You mention you are rooted, did you install a custom rom, which one? Your S3 had SVDO chip which allowed simultaneous data(3g) and voice. Sprint or Samsung got cheap and didn't include SVDO with the S4 because they hoped LTE would be more widespread by the time the phone was sold.

Double-check in your settings what mobile networks the phone can use. Specifically, make sure it's showing both CDMA AND LTE, and not just CDMA. For some reason, some ROMs default to just CDMA.
I did switch it it's still the same i don't know what it could be never had this problem before

Well, if that's the case then your phone is broken and you should take it to Sprint and have them replace it. Your phone should definitely be able to access data when on a phone call if you are on LTE or WiFi.

If you have the new tri-band model: SPH-L720T
