Lost phone calls while audio internet streaming with WMP - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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).

No incoming calls when downloading

Hi
I am a french user and today I noticed that when I download data with my EDGE connection, incoming calls goes directly to my voicemail. Anyone has the same problem?
I believe that EDGE does not support simul voice and data, 3G does work fine, but EDGE is limited in this regard.
edge only supports voice or data. You will need HSDPA or the "H" icon to do voice and data. I have tested this with stream live TV from my media center over the internet to my Kaiser and as long as I am on HSDPA i can stream the Live TV and take a phone call and the TV stream will be muted as I am talking on the phone and when I hang up the TV sound comes back. If I have edge or 3G and am on a phone call i can not get a live stream from the data conection

Thanks a lot for you explanations, I almost sent an email to Htc support for nothing ;-)
Edit : Can you try to stream tv with edge or 3g and call your phone and see what happens please.

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.

[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.

Simultaneous Voice & Data connections - behaviour?

I have enabled simultaneous connections for Voice & Data in my ROM by editing the 'ContextNumber' values in the registry.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\\RIL\OperatorContexts\23415] ;Vodafone UK
"GPRSContextNumber"=dword:3
"UMTSContextNumber"=dword:3
This seems to work, to a degree but I am not sure about some of the behaviour. I have my data connection set to permanent as I use Exchange ActiveSync for work as well as MS Office Communicator Mobile 2007 R2. I have a 2nd data connection for MMS but this is hardly ever used and only for MMS anyway.
If I am on a call and an email arrives I hear a notification and if I quickly look I can see an email has been received whilst the call is still in place. If the call is short then everything seems fine, however if the call is for a few minutes or more then typically my OCS presence status gets messed up and the connection to the OCS server gets broken. The data connection is still in place but there seems to be some breakdown of sending/receiving data whilst the voice call is connected for more than a few minutes.
I am struggling to troubleshoot this and was wondering if anyone else has issues with simultaneous voice & data calls?

generally it's not a phone thing class A gsm phones all support it
but if your phone operator don't have full support in their end
there is not much you can do
read about it here

every htc phone I had supported it fine without any reg changes

No, that's the thing it does work and I can receive emails via the data connection when I am on a voice call. It just seems after the voice call is active for more than a few minutes then there is some communication breakdown, however the data call remains active.

No 2G/3G while on calls...

I've noticed recently that I can't seem to access 2G/3G while on calls. I remember being able to do this with unrooted phone. Is there a feature or service I need to disable for this to work? I have wifi, gps, bluetooth all on at once, most of the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Never ever seen edge/3g on my mytouch or my old g1 my g1 wasnt ever rooted the mytouch is and like I said I've never seen the data icon on while in a call are 100% certain that it used to be on?
I have 2/3g while on calls on my rooted g1. I think the issue is if you're on call, and hit a blind spot where you get disconnected from your data connection but not voice (this happens to be often). It will not reconnect the data connect edge or 3g until I end the voice call. I also get into this problem if i'm connected on wifi while i'm on call and leaves the wifi area, it'll not connect to 2/3 g until i end the voice connection.
you cannot use 2g + voice at the same time. only 3g
