[Q] Data connection during call = dropped call - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if you folks could help me out. My Xperia X1 will occasionally connect to 3G while I'm on the phone and in the process, drops the call. I've used NoData to try and avoid this but often I require data connections during the day and it can be tedious to turn it on and off repeatedly.
Anyone else out there encounter this, and is there any fix for this?

I'm using Jerpelea's ROM. Hmmm, I'm not sure, but as I remember, I can check my Facebook while telephoning.

O2 Xda Stellar - wifi switches to GPRS when in standby

Hi - ive tried looking through the threads but cant find anything, so apologies if im repeating something all ready asked..
Ive been noticing on recent phone bills that im getting charged for gprs calls that i definatly havnt been making but my phone company insists that i have. After further investigating, ive seen that if im using wifi, and the phone turns to standby, when it switches back on gprs has been activated and is running underneath wifi.. and this is where (i think) my call charges have been coming from...( i hope that makes sense!)
Is this a common problem with the stellar/kaiser/tilt or just a problem with this individual unit - also, if it is a common problem is there anyway in which i can stop it happening?
I can understand where it is coming from.
When you go into standby (ie turn off the screen), the phone turns WiFi off to save battery. This makes sense, but imho WM is still too stupid to understand the concept of money. Result is that when it tries to continue doing whatever it was doing it will open a new connection and it's first choice is the GPRS/HSDPA connection.
As far as I am aware, the options to stop this from happening again are....
1) Stop WiFi from turning itself off when the phone goes into standby. I'd do this using KaiserTweak - the Option is under "Data -> Wifi standby mode"
2) Disable the GPRS connections so it can't connect. One way is to remove the password so it asks before it connects. There's also a tool on here somewhere that allows you to quickly enable and disable connections. Here looked promising, posts a link to modaco
Hope that helps.

WiFi turns on automatically...

I'm sure this has been covered, and I vaguely remember having this problem in the past, but my search-fu is failing me...
Suddenly, when on a call (I have my Kaiser configured to drop my data connection when making / receiving a call), my WiFi turns on and searches for an AP.
I turn it off, make another call, and the next thing I know it's on again and searching...
How do I configure my Kaiser so it won't turn on WiFi automatically?
Im having this very same issue! I think what is going on is the phone searching for data connection when a call cuts it off. What I mean is im using the phone on ATT so i can only use edge, so if i have lets say parlingo open using data and a call comes in it cuts off the connection thus the program switching on my wifi as an alterior method. Still very annoying and something i dont want happening..

Wifi driving me crazy!

I posted this in the general forum but got no replies. Is there any way to use direct push without it turning wifi on all the time? Every time I make a phone call or loose reception wifi switches itself on. It is extremely annoying. I am constantly turning it off and almost every time i take my phone out of my pocket wifi is back on. Does anyone else get this? Can I tell direct push to only use the cellular data connection? I know it is direct push because if I enable it the problem goes away. Please help!
Am I seriously the only one with this problem? Cause its drivin me nuts. When I turn wifi off, I want it to stay off. No suggestions?
push should automatically alternate between data and wifi. it gives wifi priority before data.

What what what? Your wifi turns on auto? Never heard such thing neither ever happened to me. Seems too odd since in the kaiser wifi only turns on when you activate via key combo or in the control panel! Don't u mean ur data conn is always switching on? Maybe it's cause of the rom you have!
uh use your imagination dude.
It automatically goes to wifi if it's on.
ChumleyEx, That's not the issue here.
The issue is that WiFi automatically turns on after a call, when it was OFF beforehand. JKingDev confused the issue in his OP.
The problem is not exclusive to the Kaiser either. My HTC Vox (WinMo 6.1 Standard) is doing the same thing.
Until reading this thread, I hadn't made the relationship between push activesync email and wifi being automatically turned on after a call. I still have yet to confirm that the issue exists without Push ActiveSync enabled.
One further peice of information - it only seems to be an issue after WiFi has been manually turned on at some stage of the phone's current power-on session.
i.e. If I reboot the phone and don't turn WiFi on manually, I can make/receive calls without Wifi turning on automatically.
Once I turn wifi on then off again, then make/receive a call, Wifi will automatically turn on after the call.
And it's very inconsistent as well, which makes this doubly frustrating. For example, I've just tried to replicate the issue using my examples above, and it's not happening now :-\
Perhaps it's only an issue after calls longer that 'x' seconds? Max call-time I tested was 13secs.

Are you on EDGE or 3G?
On EDGE while in a call the data will be put on hold. That could mean that if your call is long enough the push connection will timeout, and it will try to use Wifi to maintain connection (as the goal of push is for it to be constantly connected)?
Just thinking out loud, I've never used push myself.
Hello,
I'm experiencing the same problem since I "update" the Touchflow 3D with a communications tab. Before that I didn't noticed thi.
Symptom are exactly from the post here upper.
* When I'm in a call after few seconds.
* I used Exchange ActiveSync
* Diamond last official ROM
* just added : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432528
Since them Wifi auto on and really anoying when I'm uing my bluetooth headset.

I get this issue with the stock orange UK 6.1 ROM.... any ideas yet?

AT&T network loss issue

All;
Have sort of a strange problem; hoping someone can help me sort it out.
Every once and a while (I can't find a set time or schedule or trick to make this work), my 3g / Edge connection dies on me. I still have phone service; still receive texts; just have no access to the internet.
Checking running processes doesn't seem to help, I never see anything taking control. Only way I seem to be able to fix it is a soft reset.
May or may not be related; but I'm also having an issue where if I use the "mute" function in my call status screen, I have to soft reset to use my phone (unless the other party disconnects the call, which releases me...). Really frustrating.
Ideas? Suggestions? Running custom kitchen from ppc; not afraid to re-flash if that'd help!
I have found that a certain area (most likely served by one or two towers) that I am in every day causes similar issues. I still have a 3G (HSDPA) connection, but cannot transfer any data. My phone will not fall back to Edge to maintain the data connection, possibly because it still thinks it has a data connection (based on icon status).
I have tried several radios, and the situation is the same. I only have this problem in one specific geographic area, which is why I think it is network related, and not my device.
A quick work around that I have been using is to simply disable 3G (using the comm manager) before I enter the problem area, and re-enable it when I leave the area. The boundaries of the area are very constant. Sometimes, I need to turn the entire radio off (using the comm manager) and back on to fully regain 3G (HSDPA) speeds.
You might want to give the comm manager a try - it is usually much quicker than soft resetting.
You don't happen to live (or travel through) Plymouth, MI, do you?

[Q] 3G/HSDPA data connection during phone call - Milestone

Hi!
How can I get active 3G/HSDPA data connection during a phone call? I thought it's normal to turn off the data connection by a phone call, but a few days ago while I was downloading something I got a call, but the data connection didn't lost, it stayed active, I was able to reach anything on the web during a phone call.
I'm searching for days, but I found nothing. Only WinMo threads are dealing with this issue?
ps.: the data connection turns off with any ROM I tried, from the original 2.0 trough some 2.1 to the alpha of CyanogenMod 6.1.0.
