Call Drops When Data Connection Initiates

Does anyone have bad call dropping experience? On my AT&T Tilt with the HTC Rom running Windows Live for Push Mail (hotmail account), my call drops a lot; I looked at the screen every time the call dropped, and it seems that 90% of the time the "3G" icon was trying to connect and shortly after it changes to "H". Does that means the data connection on my phone some how caused the voice call to drop?

I've installed the Kaiser Tweak that turns the data connection off after 1 minutes of no usage, and I saw the 3G and the H icon switched quite often. Does that have anything to do with the call dropping?

the H icon shown only when you are connected to the internet, otherwise it stays 3G although you are in the HSDPA coverege

Ever since I used the Kaiser Tweak to disconnect from the network after 1 minutes of no activity, the connection message (the pop up message from the title bar saying "Connecting to ..." ) shows up quite often. This is probably due to my Windows Live tries to sync the email. Sometimes when the call was dropped, that connection message shows up immediately after the call drops. Could it be due to the fact that the 3G signals was not strong, and it was switching between 3G and EDGE that causes the call to drop?

I've also seen my call drops sometimes when transits between 3G & Edge, not sure if it's related...

I know HSDPA does simultaneous voice and data, but I'm not sure about edge. If you are on UMTS or edge and the call drops when you connect to data, its prob bc they will not do voice and data at the same time.

Lost phone calls while audio internet streaming with WMP

If windows media player is on and playing a URL (audio streaming) my calls are diverted to voicemail automatically.
If I play a music file from my storage card with WMP I will get a notification of an incoming call.
How can I set the Att Tilt up to get the same notification while WMP does audio internet streaming?
Thanks

Are you sure its not that the phone is not accepting calls when the 3G is on rather than specific to WMP?

In my area we do not have 3G
In my area we do not have 3G. I'm on Edge network.
BTW if I'm on the NET with explorer the phone will notify me for an incoming call. It is only with WMP!!!
THanks

I believe that's your problem. When you use EDGE, you can't do both calls and internet. At least that's been my experience.

But I CAN!!!

I can be on the internet browsing (on Edge) and I will get a notification of an incoming call. The problem is ONLY when I’m streaming radio with WMP or Real.

While you're streaming you have a constantly active data session. When you're browsing the web, you pull data then idle until you're ready to pull data again. I don't have a Kaiser yet so I can speak to that device specifically, but I know on my other phones this has been an issue.

Is there a registry setting that would allow data interruption for incoming calls?
Thanks

I'm fairly certain it's a network issue, not the phone. But I would be happy to see someone prove me wrong as I'll be using the Kaiser on an EDGE network too (at least for part of this year).

Missing calls (jump direct to voicemail)

Hello,
I have a verry weird problem with my Tytn 2.
Most of the time when people try to call me, the phone doens't ring. the only thing i see is a small incomming call icon on top of the screen and the screen turns on. after that i get an sms message from my voicemail. (They get redirected to it)
Sometimes it just works well.
Dont know what is going on, but it is verry annoying. i miss a lot of calls every day.
Maybe anyone know the issue?
Btw on a sidenote, i check my Gmail every 5mins (1min disconect when idle) but it seems to consume a lot of data +- 15MB a day. Only email checking!!
Anyone who knows how that come?
Thanks!

r u on a 3G or 2G coverage?
If on 2G, some operators do not allow data and voice at the same time. So if you have your Internet connection on at almost all the times, your voice calls will automatically be switched to VMail.
But if you have a 3G connection. dunno.
as far as the net usage, do you download ALL the message? try loading only the headers? Do you also download the attachments? all these rack up.

Well i think i can select that at the menu 'Band' it is configured as 'Auto'
Can chose:
Type network: Auto, GSM or WCDMA
Select GSM/UMTS-band: GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100) or GSM(1900+850) or UMTS (2100+800)
i know my provider supports 3g
Or is that the wrong menu? and settings.
Thanks for the tip on the email. Attachments were already disabled. but i chosed to download all tekst and no images. But now i selected it to header only, will monitor how it goes.

Hm, maybe some more ppl with input?
i still think it has something to do with the internet connection that is active.

My Kasier switches between 2G and 3G depending on coverage. Based on the answer you already got above, this might explain the "random" nature of missed calls:
If your coverage at a point in time is 2G and an incoming call happens at the same time as a scheduled email download, the call gets redirected.
If your coverage is 3G, the call comes in normally.
I hate push email on my phone (it's a control thing) and pull email down when and if it suits me!

Hmm dunno if its a coverage problem i travel a lot, and today i missed 2 calls again. Damn its getitng annoying! maybe i need to try a hard reset?
Hm most pll say that the phone rings two times, and then switches to my voicemail. But i dont hear anything, only see a small phone icon in the top bar.

Rings twice and then voicemail is definetly you using data connection when someone calls.

I have had mine not ring and go to voice mail several times. Once when it happend, I called it myself, and watched teh phone, and I noticed that it thought I had on a BT headset. My BT was on on the phone, but I did not have a BT headset on. So, I think it was sending to BT, but there was not BT. I have started turning my BT off if I am in fact not using a BT headset or other BT device.

new to the phone! some questions

Hey, i just got my tilt last night and immediately threw on hyperdragon iii pro so much better than the original ATT rom
anyway, just a few quick questions..
1) it used to say 3G AT&T on my today screen, but now it says AT&T, is there anyway i can get the 3G back? I'm connected via hsdpa already
2) how do i make MP3 ringtones louder? there doesn't seem to be any ringer volume setting
3) does anyone have any good games (free or pay - doesn't matter)? my phone feels empty without a good game or two
thanks

1, H is better than 3G. You're connecting to HSDPA.
2, Use another 3rd party application to boost the volume of mp3 and save it to your tilt OR pick another mp3 file.
3, Many games are available from "call of Duty" to "Mine Sweeper". Google it.

1. you can use schaps advanced configurator to set the "3G" back in front of the att text. It will also let you insert a custom text in that position.

mmm thanks for the tips
btw, does staying on HSDPA consume more power than 3G? what about EDGE? will it use more power to keep my phone connected to MEdianet?

"Audacity" is a good one for messing with mp3s, you can boost the volume, chop and change them, etc.
It's a freebie, too:

Not quite sure about "staying on HSDPA consume more power than 3G" because in the area I'm in, H always shown up. On EDGE mode, your tilt will run longer on stanby mode, but less on talk time; with the same juice (err, ... i mean same batt.)
Normally, phone is not always connected to internet unless you tweak it or run some applications which are required to connect to internet e.g skype, IM+ or streaming audio/video. The only bad point about 3G/H so far is you don't know people call you at the time you're connected to internet via MediaNet for example, streaming audio.

[Q] No internet connection during call???

Hello
When i set internet to 2G i have no internet connection during a call. If i set it to 3G i do have internet during call.
Is that normal?

Yes it is.

This might not be really relevant but if you actually do want internet connection during a call try one of Haykuro's H Roms on his google page. Reportedly they allow browsing while talking to someone

I don't really want to change the rom there for.
But as it works on Haykuro's builds, maybe a developer could make it work on other builds.

Last time i checked it has to do with the frquencies *sp
Which, in my opinion, no can do

Hehhehe! That's what so great about GSM 3G...data & calls simultaneously! You don't have to have a certain kind of ROM for data to work during a phone call, lol... I have noticed that it will sometimes switch to no connection during a call which would cause a drop out in data. The way this best remedied is to set the phone to 3G only under phone info settings. When I have it set to 3G preferred, I make a call and sometimes it will switch to 2G and therefore, losing my data connection (2G doesn't allow data & calls simultaneously). This does this even when 3G is still available. So if you're in a good area where 3G is prominent, switching settings to 3G will improve many things, just not your battery life.

This is normal. 2G or EDGE cannot handle calls and data at the same time. 3G can handle calls and data at the same time.
