Hi,
I'm using HTC Sensation, and can't seem to receive incoming calls when 2G data connection is active. Same goes for SMS messages. As soon as the "E" sign goes blank or if I disable mobile data, the calls start coming through.
I've tested this out with SIMs from other networks as well. Problem persists with them as well.
A little research shows DDTM (whatever that is) needs to be disabled. HTC Sensation has no such setting, the closes it comes to is "Enable always on mobile data" which is disabled on my phone - still having this problem.
After a little while of continuous mobile data use, the phone gets hot (as expected) and the battery starts to drain real fast.
Aren't incoming calls supposed to interrupt mobile data connection to host calls?
No, with edge you can't have data & calls at the same time. People should automatically go to voicemail if you have an active data connection (actually pulling down/sending data).
As far as I know, a call has never interrupted my data while on edge, back before 3G

I don't think that's true. I had Hero before this one and data used to be on all the time, it always got interrupted in the event of an incoming call. Hell that's the default behavior on any cell phone from Nokia to Samsung. Even Galaxy S 2 does it!
Could it have to do anything with permissions?
Was wondering, is this an application-related thing? Specifically if an app doesn't have the "Read phone state and identity" permission, and uses mobile data, it won't interrupt itself when an incoming phone call comes in.
Just an idea.

it may have been connected but not sending/receiving. If you're sending/receiving data (active connection) at the time that a call comes through, then it will get bounced to voicemail.

Can anyone help me find out how to set active sync not to be cancelled when in coming call is recieved or set phone not to cancel active sync when synching?
Could it be, that you have disabled 3g?

I wish it was that simple. I don't have 3G but I have read that it is because when you pick up the phone and the screen goes blank which automatically disconnects active sync.
It just doesn't make sense to me to have the phone connected to USB and charging yet unable to continously synch data and use the phone.
Having the same issue. Pity because I keep my phone connected in the office on a long cable, Phone constantly ringing and hence disconnecting...
Yeah, I have the same problem. I deal with it by just forwarding my mobile number to my direct line.

I can't imagine that the screen going blank has something to do with it. The phone goes into standby state but activesync is still running in the background - which I know for sure because sometimes I receive pushed emails while I'm having a call.
I still think it's having something to do with 2g/3g. At least my experience in Austria was that way. As long as I was using 2g it was not possible having a data connection and a voice connection simultaneously. Only with 3g that was possible.

If that was the case then my previous TyTN II should have had the same problem. Without 3G, my TyTN II synced without a problem when calls are received.

Right - in this case it must have a difference cause! Sorry I don't have another idea.
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to get some sort of notification that someone is trying to call while my Fuze is tethered on a non-3G network? For example, if someone tries calling, a program on the phone detects the call and notifies the user. Or, what kind of data can be sent while the phone is tethered on a non-3G network? Just SMS? Finally, I have read that as long as data is not actively being exchanged the phone will work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
" tethered on a non-3G network?"
problem is that ever since gprs was invented it haven't
blocked for callers to be received thats why it was invented
apart from it's speed inc over normal gsm data modem
however if ones operator use old technology in their centrals
one get the problem you experience where data block calls
the issue being isolated to your isp rather then your phone
there really is no way for you to get an notification by the phone
as the phone never get any info from the central
personally gprs data never blocked a call or sms for me

I'm on AT&T so all my answer will be as I know on this network.
1) It will ring, hope that is notification enough.
2)All data, it is just like being online on a dial-up connection but a bit faster.
3) Phone works, HOWEVER, if it is not on 3g any calls will interupt the data flow. Meaning if you recieve a call it will disconnect your data connection. Voice overrides the data.
Ok, thanks for the information! I am on AT&T as well with the Fuze and mostly work on the Edge network. I noticed while doing some trial and error that the phone would ring or receive SMS only when data was not actively being transferred. That is why I was wondering if they made or program, or some notification system that would alert an incoming call or text.
A guy I work with keeps arguing with me that you can't send text messages over wifi so setting my phone on wifi when at home to receive text messages and e-mails is pointless since it doesn't work.
Can someone please tell me if this is true or not?
The reason I use wifi is because my cell phone connection is crappy when at my house.
Your friend is correct.

+1
Text messages go through your carrier's network, not your wifi network
+2, your device does NOT do this through the data connection, so even though you might have mobile data turned off, or in this case, connected to wifi. It's using the Short message service center to communicate the data, this is over the voice network effectively, NOT DATA.
Also, this is the wrong forum for this OP.
Some T-Mo phones, like the G2x, can connect to the voice network through wifi, still uses minutes though.
Google voice will let send an SMS over a data connection.
There is an App available called TextPlus that allows you to send text messages over wifi. It does not use your cell # - it sets you up with a generic address
I use it on my tablet and works very well
It is available on the marketplace
Regards,
Get viber. Is easy and you can make phone calls and texts over wifi. Cheers!
Whenever I make a phone call, for some reason the phone almost always disconnects the call, this is the 2nd nexus I've had, first was replaced due to poor GPS lock - this issue has happened with both phones?
Could I be touching something accidentally during the call causing it to disconnect?
Got me baffled this, if I can't sort it the phone will have to go
Call disconnected automaticaly

As you said this your 2nd Nexus, tell me one thing, Are you using a Wi-Fi network for your call and you leave the Wi-Fi coverage area, your call might disconnect. Try the following actions:
Make the call using the mobile network instead of a Wi-Fi network.
Move back into the Wi-Fi coverage area, and try making your call again.
or If not, then might be its your telecom provider problem.:good:
I don't you are touching something accidentally. My guess would be a poor network connection.
Hello,
I got an S6 through Verizon. It's unlocked. So I'm using it on Total Wireless. Everything was activated last night and was working great. Then, I wake up this morning to check my phone, and as soon as I lit up the screen ALL of my notifications came through that once. I have it set to always allow notifications on the lock screen, wifi sleep is set to always allow connection even in sleep, and data saver is off. I used to have an Asus Zenfone that would do the same thing if it was connected to a router using IPv6. Are there any fixed or known reasons why the S6 does this?
Secondly, out of nowhere today, my phone stopped sending texts and calls. Data was working on everything EXCEPT Facebook Messenger. So before calling Total Wireless, I tried restarting, power cycling, removing and replacing the SIM, resetting network settings, changing it from Global to LTE/CDMA only, and so much more. I eventually caved and called. The reore had me dial *76 to disable call forwarding, although I never even enabled call forwarding. Would that be the main culprit to the issue that I was experiencing? I mean, randomly not sending texts and calls and saying "searching for service" even though it clearly had full signal of LTE and data was still working sounds pretty odd to me. Any ideas?

I'm having this issue today as well did you ever figure this out ..the call forwarding automatically turning on?
