Cant Recieve Calls While on HSDPA, T-Mobile UK

Hey Every1,
While surfing the web lets say on a HSDPA connection if someone tries to call me they are automatically sent to my voicemail. I then get a text some time later saying I missed their call. The only way to solve this is to not use the internet and then disconnect the data session by clicking the h in the top bar.
Ive been searching through the forum and on the web in general and have seen this problem mentioned in regards to vodaphone but not t-mobile. In fact with t-mobile I have read that it should/does cancel the data session automatically to allow for the call or drop down to 3g so that call can be taken.
1) has anyone else experienced this problem?
2) if so is there a soloution? The only one I can think of is to disable hsdpa in the registry or set connections to cancel data connections after a small period of inactivity.
This is kind of frustrating when ure trying to find a friend and using google maps and he/she cant call get hold of u cos it keeps going to voicemail!!
Any help/other users on t-mopbie uk commenting on whether they suffer from this problem would be appreciated.
Im running standard tmobile radio (1.27.12.32)
Thanks

I'm using the 1.27.12.17 radio, and can make and receive calls when on an HSDPA connection. I'm on T-Mobile, too. Possibly change the radio and see if that makes a difference?

I get the same problem when using data on the HSDPA connection. When using 3G, the call will go through.
According to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321596 it is likely to be a network problem. Is it worth asking T-Mobile about this? Are people on other networks having this issue too?

Is that radio a standard t-mobile one or did u flash that ureself? Thanks

Did a bit of diagnosis and further reading on other info from other sites.
It appears I am not alone, and unfortunatly the information is varied some saying its networ and other the phone.
Its not just HSDPA but 3G to, if ure doing some data donwnloading it wont allow u take a call. The only way to have data and the ability to recieve calls at the same time is using standard gprs, which kind of defeats the purpose of having this phone in the first place. Here are some things i tried.
1) HSDPA ON - tried looking at some pages and whilst i was downloadin called from my other mobile to my kaiser, no luck took a while then went to voicemail. Once it finished downloading and it was inactive (but ie still up) it dropped down to 3g and accepted incoming calls. Also i tried to make a call while surfing and it worked fine. When i then rang from a 3rd phone whilst on the call i made it recieved it in hsdpa mode no probs (call waiting).
2) HSDPA OFF - Same as above to be honest not even worth dropping down as u cant even tell if it will accept calls as it just says on 3g rather than dropping down.
3) UMTS OFF - Works fine recieves data and make and recieves calls.
This is really annloying as it defeats the purpose of having this phone. Im quite happy to not surf and talk at the same time but i dont want to miss important calls. Id really like to know if any1 else is experiencing this problem and what they did about it, whether it is indeed network specific or a problem with me/all kaisers.
This also means u really cant have skype and or msn signed in all the time as it wont auto disconnect when a call comes in.
Thanks

oh one last thing, when u flashed the radio rom did put a different software rom on it e.g. from t-mobile to htc original? As u had a radio file did u bother to sim unlock...how did it go...
Sounds like i might just flash the radio rom to see if it cures the problem and might aswell sim unlock it at the same time. Just curious to know ure experiences

Two links one 2 the radio u said and one to radio dump tools

Someone on T-Mobile please comment.....

Hi,
I'm on T-mobile UK, I'm on the standard WnW so dont have the HSDPA, but I did have the same problem on 3G, couldnt take calls while surfing.
It was bugging me as hell. After some research (out here and on some other forums) I tried the bandswitch app to change the band to GSM (it was on 'auto') and it worked. After a couple of days, I uninstalled bandswitch and reverted to 'auto' again and everything worked fine. I havent had problems and its been over a month now.
Regarding sim unlocking and CID unlocking, I've done that recently. I was on radio version - 1.27.12.11 and am now on 1.27.12.32
just waiting for a good stable 6.1 rom and will flash then.
hope this helps.
cheers

Thanks Koowdewil im gonna give that a try
Do u know where i can find the bandswitch app that you used???

I emailed T-Mobile about this and here is there response:
Dear .....
I am afraid this is normal for this device. When you are browsing the web and the page has already loaded then the call will come through as normal. However if the device is still in the process of downloading the site then the call will go to voicemail. I am afraid there is no way round this issue as this is the way it has been designed by the manufacturers. Please contact us if you have any further queries. Thanks.

T-Mobile

Yes, you could try there or just google it, danielherrero is the developer. I've heard about t-mobiles response but after switching the mode to 'gsm' for some time and then reverting back to 'auto' I havent had the problem.

Thanks so much gonna give this a try

I'm on T-Mobile UK and have flashed Duttys new 6.1 ROM and am experiencing this same issue. any ideas which is the best 6.1 compatible Radio for T-Mobile Uk?

Funnily enough I have started badgering T-mo UK about the 6.1 update already and they have started using there normal excuse of doing heavy beta testing compared to other CPs.
Typically ignoring them I am awaiting a response from my contact on the inside about the 6.1 update release....
With regards to the Call/HSDPA/3G issue I cannot say I have experienced this however 90% of the time mine is fixed to GSM lol

I've got a 3 PAYG sim and TM contract. Just tried this with 3 and call came in when streaming with realplayer and loading internet page no problem.
Same with test with TM too.
Using Duttys 6.1 with 1.64.08.21 radio.

Im on T-mobile UK with webnwalk and having no problems with this, I used a tweak to enable hsdpa/3g on continues so its always ON...
I can still recieve calls while using the inet at the same time.

Hi everybody, I am using GPRS and facing the same issue; No incoming call while GPRS is on... so any idea ?
regards

Video calling on Tilt

Hi hi,
I have Tilt with Dutty's latest ROM & I'm on a network (Vodafone NZ) where video calling is available.
I understand Tilt doesn't have front camera, so am wondering if the back camera can be used to send video ?
There's an option in 'Menu'->'Video Call options'->'Flip the 2nd Camera Video' , and I had this checked, but it still won't allow me to use the back camera. Is it the correct option to use the back camera? any registry tweak required?
Any helps/suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance

I dont believe it is possible

He is in New Zealand where it is supported. I remember reading that it can be done on a Tilt somewhere but I can't recall where. I could be mistaken but I will try and remember.

[Q] How to make voice valls over GSM on P7300

I get one Samsung GT-P7300 when I insert SIM card inside I get 3G networks
and everything is OK.
But I can't make or receive Voice calls.
Is there chance to install something or change my ROM to push My Tablet to make normal voice calls, as we can with Galaxy 7(P1000)
Thanks in advanced

from reading a ton of posts in this forum, my impression is that nobody managed to do that so far.

You could always use GrooVe IP with google voice.

At the moment don't believe it can be done. However, you have options such as Viber and others that can do some sort of call.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II using XDA App

Is there any possibilities in future that ICS may be able to have gsm phone function?

It may depend on if P7300 has gsm voice build-in hardware...

Anybody try to disect the phone apk from galaxy tab 7 and see whats what

I really don't see the need for voice calls on a tablet? Only situation I could think of is in the car when using it as a navigation system?

Some of us would like to double our tab as a phone. I'm still trying to find a tab that has calling capabilities.

How about hardware capability?
there is chance to do that? I mean, maybe someone can confirmed that built in modem has a capability for gsm calls?

I believe the hardware is capable of making voice calls because the early test units had this capability. Of course they did have a sdcard also, so it is possible that the radio hardware was also changed. But I believe it's disabled in baseband or our baseband is just missing this functionality.
And i also have a question, are GT8.9 and GT10.1 using the same radio hardware? I believe i have read somewhere that they do, but i can't find this information anymore. If they are, then we could try P7500 KK4 baseband as it is reported that it has made voice calls.

Phone calls
Hey poisike,
I've tried the latest version of your ICS Alpha 1 release for the 3G Tablet, and in fact, i can :
Receive SMS
Send SMS (with a warning "not sent" as you mentionned)
Receive phone calls (with or without headset... it's working)
I can't make phone calls so far. It says "call ended" as soon as I hit the green handset button.
Not sure if it helps the author of this thread, because going to Alpha releases for someone you want to stay in contact might not be a good idea. But i wanted to let Poisike know that his last release was on the right track !
@Poisike : Sorry, i'm new to this forum, so i can't post yet in Android Dev threads

Wow, it's a very good news that ICS Alpha 1 release for the GT8.9 3G version can receive phone calls over GSM. It may mean that make a phone call is doable.

can you share the link of ICS alpha where incoming calls work?

This one :

Also just to be clear, it's an Alpha release... So you may have the incoming phone call working, but then be disapointed because Camera is not working or something else.

Good find, thanks! I actually tried it when i built the rom and it didn't work. It is not a priority for me at the moment, so i didn't test it more. Now i realised i had a wrong sim card in so i called the wrong number.

I installed the ROM but nothing not receive calls ... please help ...
I have also done so reset date. no. By calling the number to be fast busy ...
For the rest there are always the same video problems in the rotation. Wifi and 3G are OK. Opening speed OK. I miss GSM calls ... this ROM would be just the TOP with the GSM CALLS!

Are you sure your SIM card can receive call or is it a data only subscription that you have ? Because i can't receive call on my Data only SIM card... only if I put my GSM SIM from my phone
here is how I set it up.
I've the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6.
-Reboot in recovery
-Wipe menu, wipe all data
-Install Rom from zip + wipe
-Install GoogleApps from zip

Nothing I have followed your instructions. My gtab 8.9 has the following characteristics:
Recovery v.5.1.2.6-CWM (I do not think is a problem to run wipe and install with this version)
I put sim in the phone and then work is also enabled with calls.
Give me a hand please ...

[Q] Video call option not available

Hi Experts,
I got LG Thrill 4G unlocked from AT&T .I am not able to find the option for video call nor while calling or in settings. Also when am trying to use tethering its throwing error authentication failed.
PLease help

are you on 2.2.2 froyo or 2.3.5 gingerbread you can only video call with google plus on gingerbread i think and tethering theres a sticky up above about that

Thanks for the reply,
Am in froyo. BUt i didnt understand what you mean by 'using google plus'. Tethering i resolved by using the second method mentioned in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252149

I think is lame that you would have to login into Google+ just to use video calls.... I just use Skype
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Ya I think that's the only video calling we get with this phone is google+ or third party apps like skype ill have to lookin to it

What abt the normal video call option using 3G network?
I was able to do that with my Galaxy S without any issue.
Anyone ever tried video calling in Thrill 4G.

See I think samsung bakes that in to there roms we don't have such a thing on thrill

Currently using 20A and there is an option there for me to make video calls when in a call, I think it was also in 20C but can't put my hand on heart

Question AT&T Video calling & HD voice

I recently got my AT&T S21U from Samsung and I activated the included AT&T 5G sim card from the box.
I received a phone call from someone using an iPhone 12 pro and noticed that the voice call quality was kinda bad. I felt that its not on HD voice, its far from what I remember when I first used HD voice (very clear and amplified). this make me check AT&T video call from the dialer and its not there, the video call icon under the name of my contacts are grayed out. "video call unavailable. use voice call" every time I click it, I only used at&t video call once with my s10+ before. I wonder if any at&t user having the same issue? at&t still offering at&t video call right?
searched about this online and read on at&t forums suggest full restore and if still not working call at&T ( I dont want to restore my phone ) or do I need to change my sim card?
THANKS!

I'm experiencing a similar problem I got two S21+ from AT&T. My wife's S21+ can make and receive AT&T Video Calls and Duo Video Calls. The icons for Video Calls on her dialer and contacts is green when AT&T is set as the default video call app and blue when we set her default video call App to duo. I can receive AT&T video calls from her phone, but I can't initiate AT&T video calls. Icons are grayed out on dialer and contacts when AT&T Video Call is set as default. I can make and receive video calls using Duo. I contacted AT&T and they got back to me, but were not able to identify the problem. They say they will call me back, but I'm not holding my breath. I also have no desire to waste any more time on the phone with AT&T support. I will continue using Duo in the meantime. It works.
