I am wondering if talk and surf is back in S7. I could not believe they dropped in in S6. Thank you.
If you mean advanced calling yes it does have it.

Thank you for replying. I remember reading people were having a lot of problems with S6 with advanced calling with calls dropping and other things. How is it on S7? Thank you.
No problem, I love it. It really is a nice phone. I came from a z3v and waited over a year for Verizon to give us advanced calling. This phone is is a little worse on battery but with actual quick charge, fills up faster than I could have imagined. I had advanced calling through a leaked version of lollipop on z3v and never dropped a call. That is just my experience though.

I can't remember the last time I dropped a call with Verizon period. Love it or hate it, they have great service.

No extra cost associated with it.
I'll definitely check that out. Thanks Jayno20!
Whenever I've tried advanced calling it sounds bad, but that's me personally. I've tried on the Z3v, V10 and this S7. Maybe I'll try it more but from my few experiences I'm not happy with the quality.
That's the first I've ever heard that. Everyone that hears it has nothing but good things to say.

Typically for me, when I had it on I rarely got anyone else with HD calling enabled on their phone. The only person I really try it with is my girlfriend, but maybe she's just awful at using her phone. The experiences I had were it sounded clear, but it would randomly get really quiet for no reason at all. Like I said, I'll try it out again and see how it goes with other people. I noticed with Hangouts calling it sounded crisp, like I was in the same room with the person but at the same time if my data connection were to fluctuate or change, it gave a weird electrical tone. Like, their voice would drop into a strange static, which I've experienced with HD calling.

It is not enabled when I Talk and Surf on data...
I would recommend tethering the phone to your person so if you fall off the board it will be fine. It is water resistant so you should be fine.

Is this a deal breaker for anyone?
http://androidcommunity.com/sprint-evo-4g-wont-do-simultaneous-voice-data-20100329/
I think it's only a big deal in Iphone commercials
Well I guess 4g data and 3g talk is a go not sure how to change the thread title. PM me if you know how.
if this holds up it is not cool. Ive been drooling over this phone for 2 weeks, but with this question in the back of my mind the whole time. ive been an AT&T customer for 5+ years and didnt even know this was an issue untill AT&T came out with the commercials a while back. I was like "what, not everyone can do this??"
I read online that this is not a hardware limitation and could be fixed with a future OTA update.
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-clarifies-voice-data-evo-4g
Voice + Wifi = Yes.
Voice + 3G = No.
Voice + 4G = TBD, testing.
I actually never realized I couldn't use data while talking until those commercials ... and I've been using Sprint pda-phones since 2001.
Sprint tweeted that it's still testing so it's possible by the time the phone is released we will be able to do both. But frankly 4g is in so few areas that I doubt it's going to make much of a diff to most ppl. It will be good for the hotspot feature.
can someone name a use for using data while on a call?
I've use Voice and Data at the same time all the time on my G1. I'm either talking to my wife and she needs directions or a phone number and I look it up using Google Maps. Really easy and fast.
Yea AT&T isn't the only one that can do it. I do it on T-Mobile all the time with my Nexus, used to do it with my G1. I'm on a phone call and I get a text. I'm on the phone and I can just launch my browser or Google Maps or Gmail right away and do whatever I want, pretty cool.
Actually Sprint and Verizon can do SMS and voice at the same time too. It's voice and data that they can't handle.
I guess it helps working in the tech industry, if I ever get a call I'm usually around a computer which is faster for looking stuff up anyways...

REALLY? many uses but here is one: my phone is tethered to my laptop. a phone call comes in i am in the middle of sending out emails to clients i can talk and do that at the same time but on sprint you cant. basically tons of reason when im on the phone with someone and a topic comes up i may Google it while we are talking. What do you use your phone for?
You must be a very busy person. Emailing while talking to people at the same time, also that the email must go out immediately during the call instead of after. Must be like a CEO of some company or something =P
I guess I must be getting old, I use my phone for talking on the phone, and when I'm not talking I'm doing the other stuff on it... I'm sorry if that was surprising to hear I was questioning what others are doing while they're talking.
I somewhat laughed at the att&t commercial when a person popped out and downloaded monopoly while talking to someone... are people so uninteresting that you must entertain yourself while you talk to them? And why didn't he just download it before... I don't know, it just seems like a gimmick to me, I can honestly say I've never wished I had that functionality. I guess that's why I asked.
its not a deal breaker for me but honestly if I'm in the car I tend to turn gps on just because I'm a nerd and like looking at new places or not having to find a way looking at traffic and such. and when I'm going to new places I tend to GPS it and not being able to make or take a call when I'm on the road with a chance of losing my barrings is well, bad.
I just realized, idk if other phones use data and voice for video calling but with it being a front facing camera for video calling, I would think they will def offer the data+voice.

yes i do run two companies and i am on the phone for an hour at a time during conference calls that can get boring.
Not even a bother for me and has never been in my 11 yrs on Sprint.
I have a Verizon Blackberry as my company phone and AT&T as a personal phone. The only time not being able to use data and voice at the same time is waiting for an email to send or recieve. It has never been a big issue for me. Annoying sometimes.

Anyone that likes to do 3 things at once, like myself, would really like this feature!!! I assume Sprint will realize that this is important to people and enable it on 4G only. Technically / theoretically no barrier exists and the hardware and software could be designed to support this feature going forward... I guess we need to wait to see what Sprint decides to do. Please don't be penny wise & pound foolish Sprint, yeah I know... wishful thinking!!!!
It's a big difference between GSM and CDMA, GSM can do voice + data, but CDMA can not

I thought I was the only geek doing this.
I don't need for my phone to be able to do both at the same time but, heck, I joined this forum to make my phone do things it wasn't originally supposed to be able to do.
Since it was mentioned that this is a software issue, it would only be a matter of time before someone could get it to work.
I made a nice call to *2 this evening, talked to a nice rep and kindly asked them to pass the word along to whoever they can that we are very unhappy with the FPS cap and quality of the evo. I wasn't complaining to them, just asked them to push it up the channels so maybe sprint will put some pressure on HTC to make things right.
If we all do the same, maybe sprint will get the message.

I actually bought it from Wirefly. I just had to get an RA number within 14 days of activating it then I had to ship it back with all the original packaging.
Then I spoke with Sprint chat to put a note on my account to revert me back to my old plan and old contract.
What cap are you guys referring to, and what's so wrong with the EVO? I'm loving mine!
I might call if I was unhappy with the EVO... as it stands though, I love this phone, so no reason to complain here.

There should be an effective way to communicate with HTC on its issues. Even their forums don't seem all that effective, I'd like to see some official response from HTC as well:

I played with an EVO for another couple hours the other day but don't feel compelled to buy one until 2.2 & Wi-Fi fix etc..& if they don't respond to market pressures it will only make the iPhone 4 seem more worth the compromise of Apple's constraints..
Ideas on more effective communication with HTC, what say you..?
they still arent gonna do anything
I'd beg to differ, I was one of many who were suckered in to buying an Instinct. It was probably the most hyped, worst phone ever (iphone killer?). They made a number of updates for several months after release. I'm sure we'll see a few fixes.
What's wrong with the WiFi? I use mine all day, every day.
@op: Who's unhappy?
Every time a new phone comes out there is always a small group exclaiming loudly about how this or that needs to be fixed or it's a dealbreaker. Honestly, if someone had not reported the video cap 99% of users would never have noticed. All electronics have issues and won't be perfect. For those of you expecting everything that you buy to be perfect, I suggest you wake up and smell the coffee. It's not gonna happen. Go ahead a do a Google search. Every major phone release, from iPhones to Droids to WinMos to WebOSes, have all had issues. No amount of belly-aching from anyone is going fix it. It's just the nature of manufacturing.

Thanks for links....I guess my point was that WiFi works. People are complaining, but for most, WiFi works just fine. I use mine all over my house and my router is in my basement. I even get a connection outside my house. My signal bars don't show me a thing but it's still connected and fast. Some may have WiFi issues but they aren't Toyota recall type issues.
I have both features enabled on eligible devices, confirmed my call was on lte, and it sounded the same as the 20 year old codec we still use. Anyone else have a difference experience?

I was in a weak area though so sometimes there were voice drops.
The quality was loud and quite good. Regular VoLTE sucks for quality though.

Verizon is following a good standard right now with HD calling too. They should be able to connect up with ATT soon.
HD Voice in and of itself isn't a gimmick, the dynamic and frequency range are noticeably better..
On my wired VOIP office phone that is....
I have a couple of customers that I can tell instantly they have a HD polycom VOIP phone, it's like going from ****ty earbuds to a real set of
cans. I talk to people for a living, five days a week, for the last decade. Cell phones all suck for voice call quality. Period. Fin.
I hang up on people that call me on a cell with ****ty reception/quality, and that's 3/4 of them.
It amazes me that after all these years, it still sucks so often.
The cell HD stuff? Wouldn't hold my breath...

I only see HD connections if both are polycoms.
Far as I can tell yes. Lot of smallish businesses are getting service from RingCentral or one of those guys now.
Haven't tried to see if HD works on the VOIP phone apps from the service provider or not.
It'd be nice if they can work this crap out for regular cell calls. For all our advances it's mighty frustrating
in 2014 to still have such ****ty call quality.
Have a question maybe someone can answer. My wife droid turbo has in the dialer screen an option for video calling. Does anyone know how to get that on a pure edition? Thanks
That built in option on the dialer is only available on some verizon branded phones. You'll both need to use hangouts, Skype, or something else.

Think about it, what app/game needs 12GB? IMHO 8GB is fine and should be fine for at least a few more years. All I know is that coming from my 4GB/64GB S8 this phone is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much faster/snappier!

If someone doesn't realize the importance of VoLTE, they have about a year to figure it out (maybe less depending on the area they are in). For anyone reading this, I'm referring to North America.
