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.
Ok, heres my issue... I always have my HD2 connected to my laptop at work...
Is there a app, or someone intrested in making an app, where i can have a small box on my desktop, that is connected to my SMS on my phone?
All id like to do, is check my messages, and reply to messages using my desktop, when i have my phone connected.
Easiear, and faster texting, and i dont have to sit, like a idiot, with my phone in my thumbs.
Plus, it keeps my boss happy, as im not texting all day
Im having problems with my DHD
incoming calls to my cell are not being recieved, sms or interent as well
sometimes it works , most times it does not
it has been this way for the last couple days
im getting highly fed up
no calls come through if im browsing the net or using facebook or any app for that matter
please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The notifications aren't working on my watch. The only ones I get are when the app connects. Other than that, nothing for calls, texts, etc. I have all the apps selected in the WiiWear app. So what's the issue?
EDIT: OK, I got a message to work. Couldn't reply but it did open. Phone calls don't work.
If you use watch droid in your phone and in your watch the connection will be fine.
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!
