I have been using Wifi tethering on my ATT Galaxy S4. Shouldn't I be able to tether and make a phone call at the same time? I tether, then make a call, and I no longer am able to ping through my phone. I can ping the wireless interface on the phone, but nothing else.
Anyone else able to do this? Seems like it should be possible.
I've noticed, for myself being on Rogers Wireless LTE, whenever I receive a call 3G and HSPA take over and LTE shuts off until the phone call it is completed

I think it has to do with voice over LTE or HD voice if i am not wrong.
If they don't have HD voice calling it will drop to HSPA
Well where I'm at, I don't think LTE for calls has been implemented yet for any carriers

This is with 4G as well. I tether, internet works fine. I then place a call and no longer can get to the internet.
Is this a limitation of the phone or the ATT network?

No, this is an issue with the phone/software. Tether on a call works fine on the Galaxy S III (it also drops back to 4G from LTE when you make a call, but tethering keeps working)

Popped my sim back into my tab which is flashed to make phone calls and I got hsdpa on att. Made a google search. Loaded it very quickly then kicked me off the network. Had to reboot to get back back on. So does that possibly mean that its att and not the t mous tabs that's keeping them from getting 3g.
I have data roaming off so no chance of wandering to diff network

Try uninstalling juice defender. Juice defender has a problem where it starts making its own decisions and disabling/enabling mobile data whenever it feels needed. I dont think its an att problem. When you rebooted, did u lose connection to the network again after a while?

No its a t mous tab on atts 3g network. That's not supposed to exist

Sorry I didn't clarify that. Just wondering if anyone else has seen hsdpa on their tmous tab on att

Usually flashing to stock fixes all issues. I would suggest doing that and recustomizing to your needs and seeing if the problem arrives.

Yes by flashing your tab to be able to make phone calls, that means you flash it with a european rom. Your tab turns into a european tab and att use the same band as europe for 3G data. That's why you have 3g and phone capability.
Here's what haopens when I put my sim in.
Keep in mind its a t mobile tab
Tab starts
Tab finds att gets on att network
Tab then picks up hsdpa from att
Tab does google search and then is promptly kicked off the network. Have to restart tab to get back on network.
After restart tab then finds att and edge only. Should I constantly have hsdpa on the flashed. Tmous tab on atts network or is getting it on start up a fluke.

K dialed *#0011# and the tab is definiately getting 3g. Its on wcdma 850 at -105. But the h refuses to appear next to the bars.

It depends on the signal strength. You won't always get H sign, sometimes one meter can make a difference it depends on the place where you are.
Nm the modem just doesn't support 3g is what I'm reading

T-Mobile TAB hardware supports AWS band (2100 down 1700 Up) for 3G. AT&T 3G is 850/1900.
Here is what is happening in your TAB. You have an AT&T SIM in a TMobile Tab. I find's TMO 3G network but is unable to connect since you have a AT&T SIM.
Obviously you cannot connect to AT&T 3G network because your TAB cannot connect to AT&T 3G bands.
no doubt, the OP is liar! the picture is actual att tab , not tmo one.
I own both att and tmo tab.
tmo tab has no way to get att 3G with any modem (include att one).

It is a fact that you will not get AT&T 3G on the T-Mobile Tab or vise versa. They use different bands. So the hardware won't allow it, which can't be fixed by flashing a different ROM no matter what.
Or by flashing a different modem either!

Is anyone using T-mobile for making calls only, no data and using a different service for data?
I am wanting to use T-mobile for my phone calling service but I want to use my hotspot/modem for wifi as it always goes with me and I am already getting a good deal on it. So I am looking to see if anyone has done this. When I talk to T-mobile they say that their pay as you go has no data but I am wondering if there is any way for T-mobile to interfere with my wifi hotspot/modem. BTW I am new to smart phones.
No you can do that. Just have your Nexus 4 connected to the WiFi hotspot all the time and you will be fine. It won't interfere with your cellular connection for phone calls and messaging

This will work. I did this when I used a phone that didn't have T-Mobile bands.

It it normal for my mobile internet to disable when I'm talking on the phone? And when I cut off it comes back
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
It's always done it for me so I'm assuming it's normal
Are other phones like this?

I'll also say my old Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X did the same - I'm almost 100% sure it's normal behavior in Android
If I'm not mistaken it's because your using 3g to call someone. Now if you were on 4G and try to call somebody most likely it would still say 4G on the top notification bar because it's using your non LTE band to call somebody and allows you to use LTE for data purposes so you would be able to hop on the internet and browse at the same time on a call. Now I know with AT&T you can call somebody and browse the internet while on 3G.

So I remember T-Mobile rolled out WiFi calling. I downloaded Google hangouts dialer and tried the calling feature.
First I connected through WiFi and ran the app and made a call to a ATT cell phone. And it worked. So then I turned off WiFi and turned on mobile data. Made another call to same ATT cell phone and boom! N7 T-Mobile walking talking phone.
I'm stock rooted, google hangouts dialer. I don't know if this works on ATT or Verizon because I stunt have a Sim. My call went over 'H'. I have no LTE connection in my room.
Anyone else want to confirm. But sweet

It should work regardless of carrier as long as you have access to the Internet.

I thought it wasn't supposed to, because Google locked it down. You couldn't do this before. I don't believe this worked until volte started to roll out. And with Google integrating this into hangouts

It started working when the dialer came out. Doesn't have anything to do with the rollout of volte on some carriers.

The dialer included with hangouts is just a way to connect to gvoice with voip, which has been possible for years with 3rd party clients such as Grooveip
All it does is simplify the process of setting up, the concept is the same.
Literally any device that can connect to the internet can do hangout calls in the same manner, as there's no carriers involved at all. As far as they're concerned it's merely data.
What they did do was disable the method some clients, such as grooveip, used to connect to gvoice.
But there are multiple methods, existing solutions such as obitalk can still connect to gvoice via voip.

Yes as long as you've integrated hangouts with Google voice.

when i go to place a call to someone it only displays that the call is 4G and not 4g LTE. I think it used to do this but i dont know what changed that. Anyone got any ideas? Does the other persons phone have to be able to do voice over lte in order to my phone to say 4G LTE when on a call? thanks kinda confused
Phone calls are through 4g not 4g lte
