Hi guys,
Probably not, but is it possible to route normal calls/SMS over wifi?
Terrible signal at my new house.
Also anyone tried vodafone's femtocell Access Point?
Thanks

Got my TP 3 weeks ago. I am on Orange. Until this morning, everythig was fine. Very vey happy with my TP. Today, woke up and found "H" on the status bar for the very first time. Befire that it used to be "3G". Though , well getting HSDPA, good. However, with H on, i am unable to make calls or receive any. They go to voicemail. When i call, it just disconnects without dialing tone. Anyone else had similar problems? Any solution? I bought it from expansys, standard UK rom. Is there a way to switch hsdpa off? though it should work even if its on...... is set faulty or radio rom??? worried now. it was excellent uptil now
network's fault. Orange haven't programmed their network to cope with HSDPA properly.
start>settings>connections>advanced network
the settings to turn HSDPA on or off are in there.
Thanks mate. I was really worried that there is something wrong with my phone. But turning off HSDPA resolved the problem. So it was Orange's fault .
I will still be able to connect data session via 3G, isn't it??
Thanks again.
This is not specific to Orange...
I have problems maintaining an internet connection while making a GSM call on the touchpro too...
I used to get this same thing with my Kaiser on a roof in Hackney, if I disconnect the data session, it is OK again.
For some reason it was only there that this problem occurred for me. Other places had 'H' and voice calls working.
Cheers,
Joe
it's a common problem.
I know that Orange and Vodafone at least have this issue.
3 and T-mobile appear to be ok.
Don't know about O2.
Generally, it's the same throughout Europe as the networks tend to use the same hardware and software on all their infrastructure.
Generally my sensation has a decent reception. Most of the times i`m able to get a decent 3G/HSDPA signal without any problems.
The problem is, that I live outside the city and at home my (3G) reception sucks. My Sensation seems to suffer from this poor reception a lot more then my previous Desire-Z.
The 2G connection is fine. When the phone switches to 3G however, I only get one bar and the connection frequently drops so that I have no service at all. When i set the phone to only use 2G, the connection stays stable and since I have wifi, having only GPRS at home is no problem.
I don`t want to leave my phone on 2G only because when i`m not home, the 3G connection is usually fine. I was wondering if there is a way to manually change the 2g/3g switching treshold so the phone will only switch when it has a decent 3G signal. I tried to set GSM Auto (PRL) at the #*#4636#*#* menu, but this doesn`t do the trick.
Thanks
You might have already found an answer to your question, but in case you haven't, you might wanna check out WMLongLife.
It has the ability to automatically disable 3G when you have access to a WiFi network.
Hope this helps
I would be quite interested to see the trick how you are running such a deep system tweak application from Windows Mobile on a Android phone ...

But there is a possibility with Tasker

I used tasker to achieve this, when it notices my wifi ssid, it switches off 3g. The down side is that wifi needs to be on ask the time. You could also use "show and switch 2g/3g" from the market, with this APp you can switch with one button or use a schedule.
Guy from reply #2, this is an Android forum not winmo. Winmo it's dead.
Hi everyone, I have a OPO on Straight Talk and I've been having issues with it when I lose service. Sometimes if I have no signal, once I move to an area with signal I have to reboot for it to connect to the network. Has anyone had this issue? Is there a setting I can change to fix it?
Thanks
I am also having the same problem. I am in India, my carrier is BSNL. Any solutions, suggestions friends?
Does the idol automatically use wifi when it's available for data? I just got a sim card and activated using BYO Wireless (T-Mobile).
My old Tracfone phone had an option where you could turn off cell data and use wifi only.
Yes and no..the priority is wifi but the cell radio is still used to receive sms's and other cell phone specific notifications...when you make a call while on wifi it's still using the cell radio not wifi for the call. You however have to have wifi on and the hotspot "saved"...if you want the phone to automatically grab any available hotspot when in an area look for an app like "wefi".
Some people make things so complicated.
The simple and best answer is yes, Wifi always takes priority over mobile data if the phone is connected to a wifi signal. This is standard on all phones as far as I know.
I realize it uses cell signal for messages and calls but will it use WiFi for surfing the web and email?
Thanks shodan. I posted before your reply..
Hello,
does anyone know if there is a possibility to have phonecall and internet access at the same time?
As I have seen this is only possible on "H+" .
Is this a limitation of carrier or phone/android?
If it is phone or android related: Is there a setting that can be changed?
Carrier is T-Mobile D
I would like to have a phone call and access google maps while driving...
Also I would like to be able to send message or picture while calling (and not driving).
BR,
Robert

Your observation is correct, only 3G is currently able to provide both at the same time. 2G or native GSM doesn't provide enough bandwidth and unfortunately 4G came out without implementing the necessary protocol. This has been remedied however with "VoLTE", but only a couple of mobiles and providers have started to provide this service.
So if this feature is important to you set your mobile to 3G (WCDMA) only.

When u calling and u trying surfing too the data speed are drastically decreased because voice goes over 3g (depends where are you).and you trying to do multitasking over their signal which is in most cases impossible
But it has been slightly speeded up..
I red that mine operator (3) will be using 4g for voice calls at end of this year so it will be cool..
But one thing bugs me in that article (link below)that smartphone needs to support it too? Mate 7 has already this feature! Lte cat 6 ca or carrier agregation !
