Simultaneous voice and data

Can anyone tell me how to do the simultaneous voice and data? I remember my Hermer used to let me do that. Any solution?

Don't know - it just does! However only a 3G network will support this, so make sure that you have the H or 3G symbol at the top. If you are on 2G, the data connection will terminate whilst on a call.

I think that some phones had two radios..one for voice and one for data..I'm guessing the TP doesn't have this

is there some way how to set the HTC PRO to the situation that the phone has priority from the EDGE?? something like that, when i am in data connection and there was call comming, that the data connection will close and i can take the call??
Now i am unreachable when data conncection

A 2G network is NOT capable of both telephony and data at the same time - it has nothing to do with the phone. As to what takes priority - i am not sure, but if you have an active data connection, i guess the network sees this as the phone being "engaged". THis is a limitation of the network and not the phone. I use my phone in 2G mode with the data connection always open - to allow email push. When i get a phonecall, the data is dropped by the network to enable the call. You need to ask your network provider.
3G can carry both data and telephony at the same time and doesnt need 2 radios. The touch pro supports this.

GPRS without phone service

I'm new to the Windows Mobile platform using GSM and I'm trying to understand the operation of GPRS connection. I have a PPC, HTC TyTn, and I use it to connect to the internet. Most of the time I get a good signal with the antenna and four or five bars next to it. I also get the E or G icon for the GPRS connection. Sometimes when I move into an area I get the antenna symbol with an "!" next to it and the "G" symbol. From my understanding the "!" means no service but I can still connect to the internet. My questions is, due you need phone voice service to get a GPRS connection.
Thanks

yes voice is the lowest common denominator
both gprs, edge, 3g, h use the same signals
and voice is the base

Thanks for your reply but I'm still confused. I understand gprs and voice use the same signal but my phone indicates "no service". I can't dial out or receive calls but I can connect to the gprs network and get on the internet. My understanding is "no service" means voice service or the phone could not register on the network. If this is true how can I get gprs service or connectivity .

2 reasons as i see it
1. i'm wrong
2 you are roaming on a network which for some reason only roam data

UK Networks 2G Data Call = Missed Call - Help Needed

Hi All,
I would like your assistance with something. All it's going to take is a call to you network provider after a quick test with your phone.
The Problem:
Do you miss calls even if the phone has full signal and may even be in your hand? If the answer is yes and you are on any network other than Vodafone, then you are experiencing my frustration. It's due to the networks not prioritising voice calls over data calls when there is an active 2G/GPRS connection. This is not related to the handset at all it's network-side.
The Test:
1. Turn your phone to GSM mode. For my phone it's Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile Network > Network Mode
2. Start a data connection
3. Use an app that is data intensive e.g. Google Maps
4. Use another phone to call your phone
If I am right, due to a lack of Dual Transfer Mode capability, your phone will bounce the call.
The Solution:
The only solution is for you to call your network and complain. YOU PAY FOR THE SERVICE SO THEY SHOULD PROVIDE IT.
My network is Orange and they say they are looking into it but I have no confidence in them as they say they have never experienced this. It's been the same since I had a Nokia N95 but smart phones these days are so much more data intensive so the problem is greater.
Thanks for you time.

On all the phones I've had with Voda and O2, if I'm using data and get a call, my net connection drops and I get the call.

Phones switches to 2g during call - (3G) data is disabled

Hi everyone, I'm running Android 2.3.4 (OpenSoju Rom) on my Nexus S,
but the issue i'm going to describe has happened to me on other Roms and
even on my old Nexus One.
When the phone is idle, 3G data works great (also when using apps that
require an internet connection), but when I receive a call,
after a minute or two, the 3G icon disappears from the notification
bar and the phone data connectivity is lost - no connection to the internet.
I've asked around and someone told me it is because the phone switches to
2G network during the call and when in the phone is in 2G mode, during a call
there is no data (on a 2G network).
I know that in the past this behavior did not occur, and in my country
when in 3G during a call - data is enabled!
So does anyone know how to fix/change the setting that causes this behavior?
'cause, for me, sometimes I really need the data connection during a call,
for example, when navigating using Waze (which needs data connectivity),
and receiving a call it causes Waze to stop working and I lose my GPS direction.
Thanks.

Use to work for me too. Then i noticed when AT&T started saying the had talk and web at same time, mysteriously it started doing what is happening to you. And i have Sprint, unless you switch to at&t you might be waiting for awhile.

Why don't phones fall back to any data connection?

Hi Folks,
I have what may be a considered a silly question but as someone who often visit's people in bad service areas this is something I've always wondered. Why don't phones 'fall back' to a Wifi connection if no cellular service is available?
Voice calls could go over a 'backup' VoIP service. - Digital service is digital service. It's all packets shuffling around and shouldn't matter whether is a cellular network or IP network.
MMS is already basicly email that could in theory go over any data network not just the APN.
SMS is even more basic than MMS, I'm guessing it would be trivial to move messages to an IP based network.
Whenever I plan on visiting someone who lives in a black hole (aka no service), I tell my friends to text my Google Voice number as it goes over Wifi. If they need to call me they can call my Google Voice number which forwards to my Skype In number that runs over VoIP on an Android app.
Is it just a money thing with the carriers? Why make your customers suffer through no or spotty service when you could just move everything OFF your network and on to something more reliable for them?
Your thoughts?
