can you talk and surf on photon q without using wifi or 4g access like the sgs 3 i think its S-evdo that allows this
anyone that has this phone already confirm this ?
TIA
Don't know about this 'S-evdo' thing, but none of the CDMA/EvDO phones I've ever had were able to do this. I just tried it on my Photon Q and still no.
It probably works on LTE, but I can't test that since Sprint doesn't have LTE coverage where I live yet. WiFi still operates fine.
Hope that helps!
Whats weird is that i tried this on my photon the other night and it didnt work. Tonight, i was able to make a call AND pull up the internet while on 3G. Connected to Airave if it matters. During the call the 3G icon never left like it used to do on all my other phones.

Don't trust the icon. lol
Edit: Just called a 1-800 number to test this and ran a speedtest.... I can confirm that 3G does work while in-call; 500kbps which is impossible over 1xRTT.
Evo lte can do it
And it depends if the towers have been upgraded for jt
Wonder why this wasnt pushed as a feature. I got over 2 MBits doing this connected to my Airave. I have noticed a slightly longer delay in voice when using data at same time. Could just be my imagination i guess.
Does this really have something to do with the tower or more to do with extra radios in the phone itself?

Maybe because if you're connected to one of these Airave things, you're near an internet connection and could probably just use wifi. Doesn't really seem like a very appealing feature.

What? I dont believe the Airave is what makes the voice / data at the same time possible. I simply stated the speed I got to show how well the simultaneous services work under great conditions.
So then it is possible just as long as the tower your phone is connected to has been upgraded to allow this and this phone does support it???

I think it only has to do with the phone itself. More than one radio in it is the deciding factor. Actually, I have my phone set on CDMA/LTE mode, I wonder if i set it to CDMA only if this would still work.
holy **** !!!! it works... I'm on the phone with my gf... and surfing the net without wifi or lte !!! and it's quick as hell !!!

I used it today and while data was being transmitted during a call the other party said they could barely hear me. Did you notice this or were you using a bluetooth ear piece or something?

Using my galaxy tab plus as a phone. Problem is I can make and receive calls but my data is only edge. I know I can get 3g data in this area because my cellphone gets it, but It is messed up right now. Anyone know apn settings etc. to get it working? Btw on gophone unlimited plan if that matters.

Uhmmmm.. im in the same boat as you.. im using may gtab 7+ as my phone and it's great.. but not when answering calls.. if you know what i mean..
going back to your question.. edge is slow when its comes to internet connection.. here in the philippines.. my signal is 3g or H or H+..
i think it is really dependent on your area.. try to observe the signal when you go to other places..
best of luck..

yea it does suck but i know its not the area....my samsung exhibit 4g gets 3g here with no problems. well work that is.
Symptom: I just upgrade from iphone 4s to Galaxy S4, after about a month use, I missed 4 calls from my friends. The phone did not ring at all, and there was no missed call in the log. This is a very serious problem. someone say she almost broke up with her bf just because of this, :laugh:
Solution:For now I found the solution is to turn off the LTE by go to setting=>Connections=>More networks=>Mobile networks=>Network mode and then choose "GSM/WCDMA". Then you will not miss a call.
Compromise: your data speed is reduced to 4G HSAP+. But if you have 200MB plan and only receive emails like me it does not matter(poor solution for people who has unlimited or 2gb+ data plan), plus by using 4G HSAP+ instead of 4G LTE you get better battary life.
Explaination: I lives in Pullman WA where we have LTE here. Some of my friends using a LTE capable phone (iphone 5, other GS4, nokia 920) also met this problem sometimes (this happens totally random or say I cannot conclude a situation when this will happen). The general idea is that LTE can only handle data transfer but not voicecalls (you can make a call with the LTE on and you will see that your phone swith from LTE to 4G), so if you are using the LTE network and your phone is connected to wifi (at this time your phone is using wifi data not LTE and then you are not connected to the tower at all, this is my guess, I am ME engineer not a communication engineer) and it's on sleep mode (these situations are my assumption) you may miss the phone call. But when you wake up your phone and ask your friends to make test call. you will receive the call.
If you read this post, many people with GS3 has this problem before:
forums.att.com/t5/Android-Discussion-and-Support/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Not-Receiving-Calls-Phone-issue-or-Android/td-p/3270741
and with iphone 5:
forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1489651
and their solution is to turn off the LTE through a complicated process(we have such function build in the phone, :laugh,
I put this here to help people who has the same problem, but I also wish ATT can fix this problem ASAP because we are paying for LTE speed. So if you have the same problem with your LTE phone please leave a post here and this could arrise the attention.

Yes, they give me a new sim and my old sim stop working after they activate the new sim. But I put that new sim into the iphone 4s first before I put it into the GS4, Will this cause the problem? Do I need to ask them to issue me a new sim?
Thanks for the reply
Probably not. If you got a new LTE sim then that should not be the problem.

Mobile networks => network modes does not exist on my AT&T GS4.... Just and FYI.
Sent from my awesome AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 SGH-I337 using xda developers app.
i experienced this before.
this is because LTE network is down in your area, that is why!
it' like you connected to your router wifi at home, you pulled the internet cable. but your phone still connected to the wifi. it just wont let you surf web since there is no internet connection, but your phone still connected to your home wifi router.
know what i trying to say?
i've had this problem with my note 2. i'm now using an HTC one and never had it again..

so you never have your DSL or cable internet down? Samething with LTE network, the lte tower is down. nothing to do with what phone you using!
It takes att about a week to fix it when they received enought complains! that happens in my case, when you call them to report LTE network tower is down, they think you a idiot! Telling or guiding you how to setup your phone! There's nothing wrong with your phone! The lte tower is down!
This is good.

You're a moron. That would be just fine if your phone was left in one spot. But a moving phone that shifts towers......yeah your logic is completely flawed. There is either a problem in the radio firmware or the hardware itself...IN THE PHONE

Ummmm but yeah dumbass we're not talking about a whole network outage.
Everyone would be dropping calls/texts in your scenario but that's not what this is about.
My wife's phone misses calls/texts randomly while moving and connecting to different towers over a 140 mile radius, she has a GS4. Now here's the part that makes your statement dumb. While this is going on, I receive calls/texts perfectly fine on a GS5 sitting right next to her the whole time.
It's a device issue, not a network issue. Something so simple normal monkeys can figure out.

Wow are you just born a total moron or was it a learned response. It's still relevant if it happened on a new phone purchased in February plus there is no definite fix without sacrificing quality. Don't assume you know everything...just makes you look more the ass than you already are.
Just man up and accept your defeat, you lost with your original post I replied to in the first place. Only kids get mad when they are shown how ultimately wrong they are.:laugh:

why would you want to turn off LTE?
there is a code for Note3 that let you turn off LTE and stay at 3G. why would you want to stay in 3G instead of LTE ?

From what I have read here I wanted to turn it off as a troubleshooting step and see if it would fix my not ringing problem.
So I can't get LTE or hspa+ to work on my n5 using at&t. MMS doesn't work either.
Hspa works fine. 6mb down and 1mb up. Which is fine for me. But still strange. This is a new at&t Sim. So its not a simcard issue. I just recently got data on my account. Because before it was just a minutes only plan and I kinda cheated the system and got a unlocked phone, simply poped my Sim in and thats it.

What ROM are you on? You should be able to go to settings/more/cellular networks/access point names then choose either ATT LTE or ATT Phone. No editing required.

Tried att phone. I found some kind of APN just now, it finds hspa but its spoty at my house so can't check for sure if I get hspa+ or LTE. But i m using cataclysm ROM. Elemental x kernel.
One thing I noticed is the only APN that works is .Cingular. Anything .att doesn't work.
Just checked. My house is covered with 4g LTE

Your might have to call ATT and have them provision the phone. They'll just need the imei.

Last thing to check would be to make sure you have Preferred Network Type set to LTE under Cellular network settings. Other than that you might have to live with HSPA. Trust me though ATT knows damn well it's a smartphone. They may consider your plan grandfathered they may not. If they don't expect a bill from them sometime in the future.

The plan I used to be on was discontinued. And then I bough an att HTC first. Went to the store and they gave me a new Sim to fit in it and warned me I may be charged for data in the future during data sweeps. Then I had many phones after that, no data. And now this plan I can have data :/ its the mobileshare plan. And oh they know its a smartphone. They knew I had an atrix HD so....that's kinda odd.
I'm just wondering if it costs extra to have LTE vs the 3G.

No, LTE doesn't cost more than 3G. It's all part of the same data plan.

Tested and confirmed working. You can also recieve calls without signal.
Does it work with any WiFi or just the WiFi associated with the same Verizon account?

Any WiFi!
I've activated it post mm update and I'm making calls while on wifi and it still uses my minutes. Is that cause I'm still on the 450m unlimited data? I tried calling with air plane mode on, wifi on and it wouldn't let me call out

Does anyone else have a problem on wifi calling where you can hear fine but it's all chopped up on the receiving end? Service in my house can be touchy and this was going to save me that headache. So far it sucks. I hate to do a data wipe.

I haven't really tried this new feature since the update. I'm in Chicago and its pretty good coverage almost everywhere I go. I'll try it when I drop to 3G with Wifi nearby
