Any method for using data while on call?? Is it even possible? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5

Im new to Sprint and found out this little bummer detail

Found this in the general section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3222940
Unsure myself if it works. Good luck

I use that method. Easy for me as I've always been using a Google Voice number. You would have to get a different numbet for Google Voice though.

Reopening this
I still have my Note 3 on Sprint and with that I can take a call and still use my data. Where as my Note 5 (also on Sprint) I can't do that. Not really seeing an answer as to why. Anybody have an idea?

Has to do with newer phones having one radio vs. the older phones having two. Googling "sprint data and voice at same time" has this as the first result. https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/217875 Post two explains it. Probably not going to get simulaneous data and voice anytime in the near future unfortunately.

I found out the hard way with my note 4 i was shocked. Not sure why they don't let you do 3g or hspa over calls. I have sprint note 5 on metro pc and can surf the net on hspa while on a call with no problem.

I can use data while on a call. It is limited to 3G but it still works so that tells me the hardware is capable of doing both. I'm on n920p unlocked using on AT&T

That's because AT&T is using GSM. Different radio than CDMA Sprint uses. Note 5 must come with both but generally lock the GSM radio? That I'm not sure about. What I do know is older phones had two CDMA radios put in them (such as the S3 on Sprint). One dedicated to voice -- another dedicated to data. Therefore you could do voice and data. GSM has always been one radio because that one radio can do both tasks at the same time. They got around it on CDMA by simply adding another radio in there and dedicating each one to one task.

WiFi Calling on i727R

You guys may or may not know that Rogers offers a WiFi Calling service, same as T-mobile (they charge though, assholes).
Basically on the i727 ROMs, this isn't an option however if you flash a T989 ROM, you get the option but it doesn't right off the bat obviously. So I found the Rogers wifi calling apk from the Evo 3D, found here.
Now when I get the app into /system/app, it force closes and nothing else, even if I rename it to WiFiCalling.apk, replacing the original t-mo one. With the standard t-mo one, I just get a ER:05 Invalid SIM which I think this is because it is trying to connect to t-mo servers.
Any way to get this working with the i727R with a combination of things from similar devices?
The error is from the sim card tmobile uses a special sim card. There is no way to get wifi calling unless you use voip calls with third party apps. The point of tmobiles wifi calling is solely to make calls in areas with low coverage so they go through tmobiles network through wifi, even if you got it working how would you expect your calls to even work.

Rogers is using UMA now as well (like 2 years now). The SIM error I think it's coming from the fact that the rogers SIM is connecting to a t-mobile server rather than the rogers server.
The technology is the same and keep in mind I'm talking about UMA, this isn't the same as VoIP. I think the calls can work if we match up the libraries from the evo and use the right apk, he evo has the same chipset as us also.

If I remember correctly when I had t-mo the wifi calling still used your minutes. So the call was routed through their servers. There is no way you are going to get it to work without an active t-mo account.

Dude there's more companies in the world offering the same service. Such as rogers. If we get the files for Rogers then I'm very sure that we can get it working.
You are right about wifi calling using your minutes but that's nothing new, other carriers have that as well. Do you know how they route calls through their servers? Wificalling.apk from the ROM using the wifi calling feature in the ROM.

No error is solely from the wrong sim card, new t-mobile sim cards have something built into them to communicate with tmobiles network when uma calls are made. The sgs2 and amaze 4g were tmobiles first devices to have wifi calling changed in the way they route. I dont think ive ever seen a phone have wifi calling ported to it from another carrier. Since uma is tied to the network there is no way that calls would work when trying to use uma on an unsupported network. Calls will always have to go through some type of service such as skype, wifi calling, google voice etc... So you cant just make wifi calls work on a network that doesnt support it as there is no provider to service those calls.

Did you even read the OP? If Rogers didn't support it on their network, why are they selling it? Rogers doesn't support the phone (didn't install the apk and libraries on the phone), they do however support the service.
The SIM error is because the t-mobile wifi calling apk is looking for a SIM card, I'm wondering if someone can port the rogers wifi calling apk from the evo 3d to read the rogers SIM card. The libraries for wifi calling are already on the phone because of t-mobile having wifi calling. I'm not sure if they need to be modified or not but I know there's someone here that would know that. That person just has to run across this thread :/
First of all, T-Mobile doesn't charge for Wi-Fi Calling. Get your facts straight.
Second of all, you will never be able to "modify" another carrier's Wi-Fi calling and expect it to work on AT&T. It doesn't work that way. AT&T must support it.

Most people are assuming you want this to work on at&t, the op doesnt specify. That would obviously never work, it seems like you want it to work on rogers. Its more complicated then what your making it seems when the t989 released it didnt have wifi calling and it wasnt ported over so easily because for tmobile at least it works differently then past devices thats why the sim error is important, its looking for a tmobile sim card and specifically the newer tmobile sim cards even the older ones get that error. That being said it might work differently for rogers but if its the same porting it over wont be that easy as installing the apk and lib files. There are more components then that to tmobiles wifi calling so you may want to ask in the evo forums for all the components to make wifi calling work on the evo.

Thanks, probably the most helpful direction yet. Although I would like to point out that I wanna get it working for i727R, not i727... If I went through the bother of putting the extra R in there, I would expect people to notice it. The i727R is Rogers. I wanna get this working on Rogers, the post describes Rogers as offering the service and the entire time I only mention Rogers rather than AT&T, I don't see how most people would assume I wanna get this working on AT&T.
Unless most people don't actually read or like to post just to get their post count up regardless of how useless the post was.
I'll start checking out the EVO forums to find out how this thing works a bit more in detail tonight.

I had it worked out on older ROM on my HTC sensation, you can chek out my post at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359107
the files that makes it work are coming from kineto package (one company that makes it works for all providers).
this is why all apk(s) for WiFi calling look the same but the one for T-mobile wont work for Rogers (invalid SIM error message, or force close)
Unfortunately as I've upgraded to ICS the older lib libhtc_ril.so is no longer working, so if you have access to EVO from Rogers with latest ROm we could make it work again

T-mobile 4g Radio

OKAY so I decided to update this thread:
There are two versions of the One X. One with aws bands and one without. I have a device without AWS (I am about 80 % sure). There are reports of people getting 4g on AWS with the Rogers Version as of now, and more testers need to check it out as it could still be possible on ATT.
This flash here theoretically could enable the One X radio to lach onto AWS (The radios here are for the One S Ville.)
http://ville.giev.de/?page_id=42
I have flashed all three, and although I did not get 4g, I got faster ping and a near immediate connection onto T-mobile. To all the people saying this will "brick" the phone, it does not and you have nothing to worry. But as always make sure to do a backup. The radio hacks for the Skyrocket/Note were also based on flashing the Galaxy S2 radio directly on top. This should work the same.
I'm interested in this as well. What does is involved and the risk? I don't have warranty on my phone, so I'm a little bit leery in being first.

if your rooted ull should be fine just make a back up of ur current set up. this is just a clockwork flash, it may not even flash, but if it does then there's a high chance of 4g.
i've done radio hacks before for the droid 3/skyrocket/note all from a similar concept. ex. flashing the t-mobile galaxy s2 radio on the note, to enable 4g.
if anyone could provide me with a better solution for an unlock i am sure i can get this to work. seems that the htc unlocker server is down right now
it's the same thing as flashing different radios via clockwork posted in the One X android dev forum
I'll give it a try, hopefully it won't mess anything up. So I just flash the radio in recovery. If no good, I just flash the correct radio again?
There is a one click no HTC Dev bootloader unlock in the Dev forum.

good to hear no negative results got my phone unlocked so i will be testing tonight. also do u guys have the newer sims or older ones?
I have an older sim I believe. It is one that came from an activation kit I bought off ebay. I tried the T-Mobile radio and same results, still on Edge, but still could be my location.

It's not just the SOC that determines hardware compatibility. There are various radio amplifiers and filters which are tuned to the specific frequencies that the phone is likely to encounter. If a phone is going to be sold in multiple markets, sometimes the hardware filters are set up for all frequencies and some are disabled via software, but often times this is not the case.
It's not impossible that a radio reflash can make it work, though highly improbable.

Interested in this. There might be better luck flashing the tmo radio since I don't think any European operators use AWS bands, correct me if I'm wrong.
Can anyone explain why flashing this radio from a different device won't brick our phones?

I have a tmobile one s, but i also have the one from att and i am so interested on using this phone over tmobile 4g let me know if i can of help. I am using my micro sim that came with the one s and i am getting edge (asume its the latest from tmobbile 4g mucro sim. I am on 1.85 rooted but i did not unlock. though i am sure we can flash through CWM. any ways i am sure there is a way out to get 3g or 4g on the one x on tmobile did not find the way yet.
flashed both of the t-mobile modems no luck for me either, although my ping is significantly higher and connects to t-mobile a LOT quicker.
does anyone know how to edit the LTE settings. it is odd but for most ATT LTE phones they have the 1700mhz frequency i think it would be a matter of just defaulting that....
the radios also show up in my baseband so i have successful flashes
EDIT: one more thing, before i was not able to use data at all considering i had the newer t-mobile sims but now data works but on edge speed.

it's just a file in your system. it could potentially brick your phone but you can always get into recovery and restore. which is why i stated you should create a back up of your device before trying it out.
however, i was fairly certain it wouldn't do that because the internals of the One S/One X are nearly identical, they both share the same processor and most likely similar (if not same, radios).
either way, the the radios work, getting me higher ping, and working data without having to switch out my sim for an older one, hope there is a way to activate the 1700 band !

EDIT 2: apparently there are two models of the ATT One X/XL one with the 1700 band and one without

Likely the software has been changed to support T-Mobile, but the hardware (filters, amplifiers, etc) are non-existent, so you'll never get actual 1700 MHz AWS support.
Of course, this is just a 50,000 foot view perspective without actually trying it myself.

you might be right about this one but there are certain One X/XL's that do have the 1700 band found out through some searching and trying to figure out the reason behind it.
If that's correct.... the people with the 1700 band would have 4g when they flash this radio! also use *#*#4636#*#* to change network type to lte/gsm
--- for other phones though like the Skyrocket/Note they were directly compatible with T-mobile radios.
Okay, I flashed the Tmo One S radio and did not receive a brick. What I did receive is a not-so-good connection that will switch between HSPA+ and 3G quite often.
I don't have a WIND sim to test with, but I tried running AT commands on my phone and they don't seem to be working. I tried doing a network scan with AT+COPS=? waited forever and had nothing displayed.

Don't you need a wind sim to connect im pretty sure the Canadian version will work on aws
Confirmed on my end that even with the T-Mobile radio, I'm not getting HSPA+. Even when I drove by the Moscone center where 1900Mhz was refarmed during Apple's WWDC (maybe it was just that day?). I was hoping this would be like the Note and Rocket where I can flash different radios.
Any other new phone capable of this? The S III? If not, I may have to either wait for 1900MHz refarm or switch to Straight Talk.

I'm not exactly sure of this one.
If someone is willing to let me cut up their WIND sim (or lend me their WIND microsim), I'll re-flash the tmo radio and meet you somewhere to test it (Toronto, please).

-----edit-----
Just popped in an old WIND sim that I used to test AWS connectivity at first. Saw WIND Away with the standard radio, and after flashing the Tmo radio I see WIND Away and AT&T (AT+COPS=? shows Rogers, ATT, Telus, Bell).
I live by the lake, that would explain why ATT shows up.

Dropping data on call.

I know you will drop 3g data on a call. That I completely understand. But this is the first device I've used that is dropping my lte data during a call. I'm not sure if this is a rom issue or a modem issue.
I am on sprint, and not sure if this is an isolated issue for sprint customers or across the board.
Another issue I would like to see resolved is patching native tethering. I'm currently stuck using WiFi tether app in ad-hoc mode. Which unfortunately my nexus 7 can't attach to.
In case you're wondering I'm running slim kat currently. I've tried cm and stock before rooting and all formats have dropped LTE on call.
Probably because there is no voice over LTE. Same happens on Rogers too.

But I've always had voice over LTE on Sprint. Just not with this phone. Galaxy nexus, and HTC one never had that issue.
If it's something I have to live with, that's fine. I just would like to see this feature implemented if possible.
maybe its the way the radio is designed for this phone?
thats my only guess.

Nope, not going to happen. It requires a very specific setup with the radios that results in poor battery life. Sprint does not run with voice over LTE, it's simply running calls as normal and keeping LTE active at the same time.
In addition, large portions of Sprint's network outright do not support this functionality anyway.

S7 EDGE antenna

I spoke to a technician in Sprint and he told me the S7 only has one antenna the note 3 has two.
That is the reason why I cannot talk and internet at the same time.

I spoke to a samsung tech guy and told me the reason why the kote 3 can be on data and voice at the snaw time its because the way it connects using g2 and g3.

Also is there a way to force the s7 to use g2 and g3 only?

I1 founs this article:
Unfortunately you cannot do this anymore on Sprint. I will list below as to why.
The older phones had two CDMA radios put in them (such as the S3 on Sprint). One dedicated to voice -- another dedicated to data. Therefore you could do voice and data. GSM has always been one radio .. because that one radio can do both tasks at the same time. They got around it on CDMA by simply adding another radio in there and dedicating each one to one task.
Now a days they're getting rid of that second CDMA radio. So therefore you can only use talk, or data -- not both at the same time. Now if you're using VoLTE it will allow voice and data since the call will be going through LTE (as data) and .. data will be data. So it is technically then all data. Verizon can get by since they have VoLTE ... Sprint doesn't yet so .. No other work-around except to just use WiFi while on the call.

XZ on Verizon?

I know this is not officially supported, but does anyone know if this will work with a Verizon SIM? I know in the past, CDMA radios were required for Calls and Texts, but with VoLTE, shouldn't CDMA be unnecessary at this point? Can someone try throwing a Verizon SIM in it and see if it will work. I'm trying to find a Note 7 replacement here. The rest of the Verizon phones SUCK.
I'm really wondering about this too. I'd jump from my S7 Edge to this if it could really work. lol
Oh yeah, if any of you Xperia XZ owners could be so helpful in using this tool from the Verizon website: https://www.verizonwireless.com/bring-your-own-device/. I think this would help see if we could use the XZ on Verizon network. If any of you guys do it, can you post screenshots (blacking out any private info if you may), I'd really appreciate it!
Verizon uses CDMA which Xperia phones so not support. They only do GSM. I suspect a Verizon sim card would not find coverage in an XZ.

But there is LTE support. If you have an XZ in your possession, can you try using the tool in the link I provided to see if it works?
To be able to use VoLTE, you will need to enable HD Voice or Advanced HD feature for your line and also the person you call has to have to same feature enabled. Both callers need to be in LTE coverage areas for VoLTE works.
So it isn't always working for you if you don't have CDMA capable phones.

All voice calls still go through the CDMA network UNLESS, you are on Verizon and have HD voice enabled on your phone. I
know, Verizon is still using 800 CDMA in almost every cell site. This this is so VZ customers can call other carriers..
This became very apparent a few months ago when Verizon had a CDMA network outage on the west coast and we could only call people with in Verizon that had HD Voice, no one else.
If the XZ does not support CDMA (can someone confirm?) that would mean NO "Cell Network " phone calls. Data should work fine if the XZ supports LTE 700 c, 1700 f, 1900
Kinda getting tired of this, I really wanted an S7 Active and now the XZ.
One of these days I am going to jump ship. I. just have a bit of "data coverage anxiety" is the only thing holding me back...
The reason Verizon keeps their CDMA network because they still have 3g devices which are CDMA only.

Yes but, not necessarily the reason why VZ is keeping CDMA.
3G (1900Mhz CDMA) will begin to get faced out sometime next year. This is not a secret, it's actually common knowledge. In fact, some areas already don't have 3G coverage.
(800Mhz CDMA) Voice will stay at least for 2017. This is because VZ's VoLTE aka VoIP is not quite ready to go.
Some guy already tried using a VZ SIM on a Xperia XZ, didn't work.
Search YouTube for: "Sony Xperia XZ Verizon CDMA Test"
CDMA faced out all over the world last year except VZW. Some areas do not have 3g coverage doesn't mean there is no CDMA network there. There is a lot of VZW basic (CDMA) devices in the market now.

For this guy, it could be the first time he tried unlocked phone.
At least he need to add APN settings for Verizon network first. It's not gonna work what so ever since unlocked phones do NOT have it.

If you're not connecting to a tower, I don't think APN settings are going to help you.

Of course you don't however, didn't that phone connect to the network briefly at start up, did it? Also it's only video so it can't prove xz doesn't work with VZW. It's my opinion even though I'm not with VZW.

Just to be clear; that's not my video. I'm no expert either but I really don't think APN settings would cause the tower to drop connection. AFAIK APN settings are just for data and MMS services.
I understand it's not your video and you knew APN is for data and mms. However, you forgot that in mean time, most VZW devices use CDMA for voice until they introduced HD voice (VoLTE) to have both voice and data work at the same time.
So without correct APN settings, nothing is gonna work including voice for non-cdma devices.

I saw your post also on the verizon regarding the XZ working with it. That's cool man! I bought the XZ based on the LTE network which I was betting that it would work but no good. I currently have a z3v working with HD calls and stuff so that's why I believed that XZ would work.
Thank you in advance!
APN configuration
Hi! I found out this configuration on a Google search claiming that XZ works with verizon.
Just Google for
1587_13_verizon_apn_settings_for_sony_xperia_xz
On "apn gishan net" and you will find out. I will try it as soon as I arrive on my vacation destination (currently driving)... Lol
Not that simple...

Well I did the setup but I wasn't able to get it work. @MpV35;73223832 can you please share the info that you got on the tier2 verizon help-desk? (I saw your comments on the verizon community)
Thank you one more time
