I use a virtual meeting app on Mate 8 to attend important meetings on the go. My problem is that mobile data (4G) diconnects if a phone call comes. It is really annoying for other participatents. Is there any way to keep mobile data on regardless of phone calls? Firmware version is L29C185B580

On 4G you're out of luck. There are currently almost no carriers supporting VoLTE AND the Mate8. So to be able to make phone calls and use data simultaneously you must switch to 3G or use a 3rd party VoIP-App.

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.
Hi, n00b here, I have a Samsung Omnia 7 with the nodo update.
is it possible to somehow block incoming calls and texts but still keeping data active?
i know theres flight mode but that turns off everything, is there a way to keep the data connection active?
i dont mind if its a paid app
thanks

I don't think this is possible until mango. First of all I seriously doubt that there's an appropriate API for this matter. Second is the lack of multitasking for third party apps. An app that controls incoming calls and/or SMS would have to stay active in the foreground in order to achieve that.
ahh I see, looks like Ill just have to use flight mode.
thanks
I've seen from other threads that there is (and probably won't ever be) VOLTE or WiFi Calling support on T Mobile with this device. Is anyone using T Mobile's "Digits" on this phone, and is it a functional replacement for WiFi-Calling? I am occasionally in areas with no T-Mobile service at all, so being able to call and text over WiFi is a must.
Yes, in my experience, it is. I bought the phone last week and was disappointed to not have IMS features like WFC, but I have found DIGITS to be very helpful. I used it to text on my flight to San Fran on Sunday, and have used it some this week at the office where I've been that doesn't have great T-Mobs signal due to interference. You just have to make sure that you set it to send everything over data.
The only gotcha with texting in it is that texts you send through DIGITS will not sync into your messaging app (Signal for me) when you reconnect to the cellular network but messages you receive will so it will look like a one-way conversation.
Another cool thing is that if you have the app on your PC, Mac or tablet you can transfer calls between the devices.
I finally picked up an XZP so I thought I'd follow up on this. The Digits app can indeed be used for texting and calling over WiFi, and can be activated for the device's native phone number and external numbers. It's not as convenient as built-in WiFi Calling, but it's usable. T Mobile seems serious about updating and improving the Digits app, so it should only get better...

Does the DIGITS app enable VoLTE on the U.S. XZP while on T-Mobile??? Or int'l XZP??
So T-Mobile makes the DIGITS app? Please elaborate.

Digits is an app by T-Mobile that allows you to use multiple "virtual" lines on one device, or multiple devices with the same number. It can use the device's data (WiFi or LTE) to make calls and send messages. Not exactly the same as native VOLTE and no it doesn't enable VOLTE, but it is technically voice over LTE via a dedicated app. You have to be a Digits subscriber, also.

Oh ok. Cool.
Well the issue is, with T-Mo, you CANNOT have access to the newer Band 12/700 MHz spectrum w/o a VoLTE-certified with T-Mo phone b/c their network will block access to it, which means weaker reception. When my area (Chicago) didn't have it, I didn't care, but since last summer, we finally got it, so I don't wanna go back to being without it again. It's just such a hassle when it doesn't need to be. Sony is on crack if they think they can sell and make a profit on their smartphones w/o carrier involvement. Even the sales chart I saw showed that when they stopped selling through carriers in 2015 their sales PLUMMETED in the U.S. They need to wise up already. They're making a lot of great changes this year from what I'm seeing, but they still have a ways to go. We'll see how things go at MWC next Monday, but of course they prob won't announce if phones will have T-Mo VoLTE or not. Prob have to research it. Idiots. lol
Thanks again!!
I have purchased eSIM data plan with DENT eSIM because my carrier does not have option to use on my galaxy watch.
Now I get all notification etc on my watch normally but calls are not forwarded... Is there any way to achieve this?
Thank you
Configure just normal call forwarding from your main phone number to the secondary. And you should have calls enabled on your eSim, not only internet.
Well I only have data plan on my watch so I am looking for solution that calls are forwarded via mobile data. And when I call from the watch the call should be going bia mobile data to the phone which would then make a call.
Thank you any help appreciated
I don't think this is possible at all. Only through Bluetooth, or on highly customized smartphone ROM (like Samsung is using on their phones to achieve such functionality over Wi-Fi). And for sure - no - on any stock ROM.
Bluetooth-WiFi watch versions with non-Samsung phone, Remote Connection also work with WiFi.
Hey guys.
So for the past month I've been trying to get the watch to work independently to make calls using the 4G version of the watch of course.
As the watch asks which number to text/call from I generally assumed it would be able to call using the number attached to the esim that was uploaded to it.
In the UK I'm with O2 and they currently only suggest using a data only SIM to remote connect to your phone in order to place a call.
I eventually convinced them to setup an esim with a minutes and SMS allowance but the watch suggested that only emergency calls were possible.
So my question is can the Watch 4 make calls using its own number without being connected to a phone whatsoever?

Of course - that's what the LTE version is for.

You need phone only first time to set up data plan. Without phone you can't directly add number to watch.
But once added (and you can add multiple) there is dependcy on phone.
You can store multiple plans on watch and switch it to required number directly from watch
