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.

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

3 way / conference calling

"Hi, I recently purchase sprint touch pro, coming from a at&t tilt, & tmobile mda be for that. Ive come very use to useing the confrence call feature that they used to have. Its driving me nuts to think they would leave this feature out on whats suppose to be an up grade/ newer phone.(right?) Has anyone have this same issue/problem?? & is there a way to download a new dialer program to correct this. please inform me thanks.."

I've got some issues with my TP too... Dialer is hanging when I'm making Video Call and Someone I'm dialing is picking up the phone. Same thing happens when I'm picking up a video call.
I've allready checked many ROMs and RADIOs... Nothing changes.

Yea me 2 maybe someone could use the ATT tilt dialer an modify it to work on the Sprint TP that would be nice, someone said to call HTC an complain an if we complain enough that they would fix it but i think that its gonna take forever for that to happen an a dialer fix would be much faster...

Galaxy of dialers

I know there is a work around for euro version of galaxy tab and the sim based versions to allow for dialer. Now personally i have the VZW version of the tab that I would like to possibly flash the tab to cricket for use with 3g and voice and i know they will allow this as cricket doesnt give a crap lol!
I have looked around for last couple days to see if there was a dailer enabler or anyway to get in to the pst settings ive found cupple blurbs about using the notepad. But nothing solid any points in the right direction or even a all out answer would be highly appreciated.

I don't think there's any "workaround" for the Euro Tabs when it comes to the phone functionality. The feature is there and works right out of the box. I do believe there has been success stories of people getting the phone to work on their US Tabs via the flashing of custom firmware and drivers though. Try searching for terms such as "getting phone to work on Verizon Tab" and the like, should be able to find something.

you'd need a cdma version. I've searched all over google for someone that's been flashing to cricket and got squat. I'd like to do it!

ya ive done numerous searches and to no avail i think the reason people are not working on this is because verizon will not allow you to use voice but for me i dont want voice through verizon i want to use cricket and i know 100% sure they will support 3g and voice for tab if you could add dialer and change pst settings

seems this threads dead but no sense in starting a new one when this ones prefectly fine im still looking for any information other than the generic sipdroid and skype answer the actual dialer etc.

Yeah, I would really like the dialer working. And the call log...
SIPdroid dialer doesn't quite cut it, and also it's blocked directly.

Orange WiFi Calling Settings

Hi guys,
Unfortunately, the area i live in has incredibly bad signal for all networks and back with my HTC sensation i used to have a orange signal boost app which enabled me to use something called UNA to make and receive calls through my home WiFi.
Since moving to my lovely new One, I dont have this option. I havent even bothered to get on the phone to Orange as they prove to be useless every time.
After doing a bit of research and playing with my phone, I found out about the Internet Calls within settings but it needs account settings.
Like with the 3g settings, are there some generic orange settings someone would be able to tell me that will enable me to use this feature?
Any help would be greatly received!
Thanks,

The Internet Call feature is for those with accounts with the likes of sipgate. You can make free calls to other SIP numbers but will need to buy credit when dialing normal numbers.

Bugger! Thanks for the reply.
Doesnt look like its happening then!
Do you happen to know if the tmobile wifi calling apk is anywhere available. I've had a search and cant seem to find it. I ask as that seems to be available on the one and TMobile kinda the same as Orange as both owned by EE and I just thought id try a punt at the app also working on orange.

Is this what your referring to?
A quick Google search threw up lots of possible links.

Yeah that's the one, but sorry, i should have been a bit more specific, I meant the apk off a one as it seems to be shipped with the one tmobile branded versions so I figured I would have the best chance with that version.

I'm bumping this thread to see if there are any solutions for this a few months on. I also live in a poor area for reception with Orange / EE, but I do have a decent net connection and WiFi. To make matters worse, I get an equally poor signal at work and constantly have to move my phone around to pick up texts.
The EE website has the following information for those unfamiliar, but the feature isn't currently supported in any ROMs I have tried:

Despite this sounding like a fantastic feature, I can barely find any information on the forums or through Google.

Adding dialer to Galaxy Tab Active 2 LTE (SM-T397U) ?

Hi xda. Foolishly purchased this tablet ( LTE variety ) thinking it could make calls, but despite installing third-party dialers including Googles nothing seems to work because it would seem that this functionality has been removed from OS ? Does anybody know if there is a way to enable voice calls ( not VOIP, Skype or any other data call ) ?

Pretty sure the stock dialer should be working.
I have the SM-T395 and it doesn't show any issues on this matter.
maybe copy logcat while trying to use the dialer and we can take a look.
Shedaim,

It would seem that the first step is to try to set "config_voice_capable" parameter to true in "framework-res.apk." This has apparently worked on other tablets. If this doesn't work then perhaps a limitation with baseband version.

found the same issue
sm-t397 cant make phone calls

For a T-397 (and the T-285 as well), you have to have the carrier-side (i.e. your plan) set up as a PHONE, not a TABLET.
You also have to use a phone APN.
If you set them up as a tablet, the carrier-side software blocks the phone function.
If the salesperson is confused about this, just tell them you want to get texts on the tablet.
