Can't receive calls while browsing on 2g/edge/gprs - HTC Sensation

Hi All,
I have been facing an issue while receiving calls when I'm using EDGE/GPRS on my HTC sensation. The calls dont get through to me. Apparently most of the HTC desire users are facing the same issue and the person calling me gets the not reachable message.
Is there any fix/workaround for this issue?
Thanks,
Priyank

Its an edge limitation as opposed to a hardware or software problem.

Receiving call problem in htc opal?

Recently I am having a problem in receiving a call. The bell is ringing from the opposite side but there is no call indication in my touch viva. I don't know whether it is software problem or hardware problem. I am using ionsoft phone 4.5. Is it a cause?
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

[Q] HTC Incredible S - problems during calling

I just bought a new HTC Incredible S, but noticed that occasionally I hear clicking during phone calls. The other party can hardly hear my voice and after several seconds the connection ends. Did anyone knows how can I solve this issue? Android 2.3.3 is running on my HTC.

[Q] HTC Sensation not receiving call while active GPRS

Hi,
I just bought HTC Sensation yesterday and now noticed a problem that I am unable to receive calls while using/active data connection i.e. GPRS. Earlier I had Incredible S with the same problem and changed my handset thinking that this might be a problem with the device.
Is there any solution available? Please advise, I'll be really grateful.
Thanks.

If you're getting the "G" that is GPRS and that means you're in really poor coverage (no EDGE or 3G+).
GPRS and EDGE are not simultaneous sessions meaning that it's DATA or CALL, but not both at the same time (unlike 3G+ data).
Usually the CALL overrides data but in some situations DATA will override the call. Try moving back to a regular coverage area where you can get 3G+ and you'll be fine.

[Q] Htc sensation network problem with 3g

Hi, I noticed something very annoying problem with sensation. I have tried multiples gingerbread and ics roms and do notice the phone will not receive message immediately when somebody send message via whatsapp or viber. This is not happening to other phone like galaxy or iPhone. Just wonder if anyone of you have solution on this?
I have no problem using wifi but this only happened to 3G line.

Wifi Calling - Crackle?

I searched everywhere and haven't seen any reports on this.
Does anyone else have serious call quality problems, only when using WIFI calling on T-Mobile? I get a terrible crackle/static fairly often.
I thought at first it was the built-in earpiece but I don't have this problem as soon as I switch off WIFI calling (and call over the 3G network).
What I also thought was interesting, is that when in WIFI calling... I can use my bluetooth headset or speakerphone and have zero interference/cracking sounds.
Let me know if you have any tricks, or if I should get this thing repaired by HTC! Thanks
WiFi Calling Crackling
I'm having the same issues with WiFi calling. I experienced a couple times and thought it might just be a bad connection, but apparently it's more than that. Hopefully the MR update (whenever that is) will address this
Yeah I don't think swapping the handset is going to help this one, hopefully an update comes out soon to address the WIFI calls. And hopefully Skype comes out with one too, because its static as all hell too.
I have the same issue. It was delayed as well. Odd.

I am also having that experience with Skype calls and really bad with video calls and GTA 3. Could it be beats integration?

Don't think the beats affect calls since its coming through the earpiece. Guess we're going to need some software updates. T-Mobile mentioned there will be an update to address Wifi Calling battery life, maybe they'll sneak a fix in. I've reported it to T-Mo and HTC... You guys should too.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the phone, minus the pain in the butt power button! Its so flush with the case, it is difficult to press.
yea i also heard about a update rolling out looking forward to it

Getting a slight / medium crackle during conversations on wifi. Crystal clear on GSM.
I get the crackle too, any word on a fix?
Just a reply to say I have the same issue on two One S phones from tmobile. I had to set wifi calling to use cell when available, as opposed to using wifi when available. The crackle was so "sharp" and pronounced that I was about to return my phones because it really sounds like a hardware issue/loose speaker parts in the earpiece! Thankfully, it works great with GSM, so it seems to be software only. And, if I need wifi calling in a pinch, I'm willing to put up with the crackles. If I had to rely on it (due to low signal in my house), it would be very frustrating.
Also on wifi calling sometimes callers could not hear me, or I them. That only happened a couple of times to me, but was a major reason I demoted wifi calling.
By the way, this phone is absolutely amazing! Fast, fast, fast, great screen, great battery, great metal shell... would love to remove Sense because it buries all the Google App integration and favors everything else, but that's a personal opinion.

Yeah the feel and speed of this phone are just incredible. It just seems like there is some software kinks that need to be worked out.
Another one I've run into recently is YouTube links directing me to the mobile site rather than the native app (which is another problem with the 3 dot menu lol).
I hope they don't rush the first update and work to address some of these quirks.
Yea, I had the crackle issue on my first handset (kept having it randomly reboot) but haven't tried on the new handset since it seems they now have to enable the wifi calling feature on the account and my account is to old to enable it...or so they claim.
Wait so is the wifi calling crackle you t-mobile guys in the States get the same as the crackle I get when using Skype on my One S in the UK?
US t-mobile here. skype's crackle is much worse, impossible to deal with. wi-fi crackle is sporadic and annoying.
I'm completely confused about the whole crackle thing now. I've seen and read about your US T-mobile wifi calling which I now understand and skype crackles a heck of a lot for me. So I assumed that it was a VOIP calling problem but I used Viber to call someone over wifi last night and there was no crackle at all on a 30 minute call. Oh well I won't complain about that, would be nice if skype was working for video calls though
I am experiencing the same issue with WiFi calling too, which is a pain because I primarily make my calls over WiFi. It was so bad on a conference call today I had to switch phones. Anyone know if this is a known issue for T-Mo yet, don't want to call into care if they are already aware of it. Also, out of curiosity does anyone know if this was an issue before the most recent firmware update?
Thanks!
it's hard to say if T-Mo knows about it but they didn't acknowledge anything regarding this issue, only the battery drain related to wi-fi calling. all T-Mo US HTC One's suffer from it.
I have reported it twice to TMO, first time I was told they didn't know about it. The second time a few days later, they were aware of the issue but couldn't tell me if/when they were going to push an update out for the crackle issue. If I were u guys I would report it so they may push something quicker rather than having horrible comments about their flagship ICS device!

Just purchased an HTC One S today.
I talked with T-mobile earlier today and showed them the link to the t-mobile support forum thread created for the Wifi calling quality issues (crackling/delay) on the HTC One S.
They told me that they are aware of the problem and it's a known issue. I didn't press them for a timetable to fix it or anything.
Everyone who's experiencing wifi calling issues should at least take a moment to call in to tech support or chat with a t-mobile tech rep.
We need to make sure they address this quickly. I know a lot of people rely on wifi calling on t-mobile in spotty/bad signal areas. I sure do.
