Simultaneous Voice & Data connections - behaviour? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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

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.

Active Data Calls, How to end....

I have tried to use my Vario III with my TomTom 720 for traffic updates unfortunately the setup is a little hit or miss. I have identified the cause of the problem and this is due to data calls being active, if these are ended then the TomTom unit works perfectly.
Is there a way to automatically end data calls, I have the ability to configure an AT connection string, is there a code that can be added that will close calls during connection?
Our can data calls be set to end immediately once complete.
this may help, ends a data call after 10 seconds of inactivity.

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.

How to let the Diamond determine whether to use VoIP OR GSM?

My GSM provider happened to give me a contract in which i can dial every national mobile network for free as i am paying a fixed amount for that. But i have to pay extra for international networks and national fixed network. This is where my VoIP account should kick in, because it has much lower calling rates when trying to reach somebody out of these networks.
So as i mentioned in the Title, i would need to do some tuning with my VoIP and GSM accounts. I finally got VoIP and GPS working, now what i need is the dialer to determine which account to use when dialing different numbers, eg. i need my Diamond to dial via VoIP when i am calling international numbers or a number within the national fixed network. At the same time i want it to use my GSM Account for dialing to mobile networks. eg. it has to use the SIM card in case the dial format is +49 (1Yx) xxxxxxx, while Y is either 5,6 or 7. It should use the sip account in every other case.
So i assume that this problem might be solved with tuning the dialplan.xml, but since i have no experience in altering this file i am asking how to do it.
I also guess that editing entries within this file might give me the chance to use VoIP when dialing in international format, e.g. +1 555 727... instead of 001 555 727, as the dialer tells me that it isn't able to dial because it the phone number is not valid. As soon as i am entering the number without international country code it works fine.
Also there is the issue that the Diamond keeps turning off while talking on the phone, whether i am making a call through GSM or VoIP. In case of VoIP, my current calling connection drops because WLAN gets turned off as soon the Diamond goes into Standby mode.
Next problem is the Standby mode in general: As WLAN turns off when the Diamond goes to sleep, i am no longer logged in to my sip account. The result is that no one can call me when dialing my sip phone number.
So i would be grateful if somebody could at least help me with one of these problems. Thanks in advance!
1) about having the phone to decide automatically, according to your IP dialplan settings to use GSM or VoIP, I don't know much.
But you can always use the VoIP Today plugin to manually decide which one you'd like to use.
2)
regarding the phone switching to sleeping mode and by doing so dropping your wifi connexion, you can use DiamondTweak to modify your settings and avoiding this.
Whenever your phone will go to sleeping mode, the wifi connexion will remain active.
3)
No worry about third point, since your wifi connexion will not drop anymore.

Ho do you manually decide which one to use? I have installed VOIP today. I can select never to use VOIP. But I cannot force to use VOIP only. That is, my HTC Touch Diamond is deciding whether to use GSM or VOIP.

Not getting phone calls or texts while on internet

Only noticed this yesterday really. When I'm using some sort of data connection (so browsing the internet or on WLM etc), I seem not able to receive a phone call, or to receive a text. I thought that voice calls / texts would interrupt the data session so you could receive them. Even my old samsung g600 does that (although I didn't use the internet much on it, so not too sure how good that is at it).
Is this a known issue, or a bug etc? Or is it just how it works? It's very annoying.
Thanks

[Q] CSIP Request Timeout over WiFi

I've decided to give VOIP a go. I've had qualified success. I have no problems whatsoever if I use 3G or H+ on my mobile phone to connect to Callcentric -and subsequently make my google voice call.
But the thing that piques my curiosity is that when I use google voice through my computer, I can call without problems and yet, when I try using the same internet connection with my Galaxy note to make VOIP calls (CSIPsimple + Callcentric + Google Voice), I get a message:
Callcentric
Error while registering - Request Timeout
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even with the SIM card removed or with the phone in Airplane mode (and WiFi enabled) Callcentric (on WiFi) refuses to connect.
By testing several different SIP service providers (it feels like all of them), I think I've narrowed the problem to somewhere between CSIPsimple and the provider's choice of protocol. I have tried as many SIP service providers as I could find. For some providers (antisip comes to mind), the WiFi works, but the audio doesn't; while other providers only agree to work so long as I'm not on WiF (callcentric among other).
Anyone have any suggestions?
