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???
here: ??? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844

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.

T-Mobile

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 ?

Can't Use Data While On a Call

I seem to be having issues using Data when I'm on a call. I'm on T-mobile in San Francisco running 2.2.1. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to remedy this?

Contrary to T-Mobile's position that I can do data while on a call, I typically have the same issue as you. I've only been able to get online a few times while on a call. Usually there's no data connection available.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

You can only use data during a call when you see the little 3g symbol at the top near your signal bars. If it shows E, then you can't.

I am not sure if the problem has anything to do with being on T-Mobile. I'm in India & I have observed that on all versions of android, there seems to be a problem in following cases :-
1. Making a call while an sms is being sent out. Try it, and your sms would be returned undelivered & call would not get through. You'll have to reboot the phone to make it work again.
2. Try making a call while data transfer is on. It fails.
3. If some one calls you while data transfer is on, he gets a busy tone.
I started off on my Nexus One with 2.1 & I'm currently on 2.2. My friend who owns a galaxy s and is on 2.1 also has the same problems.
None of these problems existed on my nokia e90.

1. Never tried, but happened to receive calls with SMS being sent. Worked.
2. Works fine.
3. Works fine. Moreover, I happen to use a lot of tethering, and tether for hours while talking on the phone - calling people and getting calls.
I guess it's your carrier to blame, not the OS and not the phone(s).
To the OP: as everyone said and will say in this thread, watch for your connection. Having 3G signal is a requirement.

You must be in a 3G area for simultaneous voice and data.

i dont get those errors, and i've specifically tested making a call while transferring data, and many combinations of that.
i have never, though, tried the sms send and call test. i'll have to try that out.
anyway, the nexus one can use data during a phone call on the 3G network. if you are connected to EDGE then it will not work and the data will pause.

My phone does show a 3G signal and I still can't do it. I know that T-Mobile throttle the speed. Do you think it has to do with throttling?

it must be some isolated case with your spcific sim card or something. when connected to 3g you absolutely should be getting simultaneous voice and data, its very well know. not sure what else you could do.

This is weird. Ive always been able to get simultaneous voice and data. Never had a problem.

[Q] HTC Hero ROM to disable radio

Hi guys I have done some searching but havent been able to find anything so I apologize if this is out there already. I also apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I got a different phone and I want to use my Hero for music, videos etc. I am looking for a ROM that would allow me to disable the baseband radio so I can conserve battery life as I no longer need to make calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks

The best you'll get is either using TB to freeze the phone app, or put in airplane mode.
BANG! from my shooter...

If you download any Cm6,Cm7 or aosp rom could do this. Open up the phone dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
A menu will open up. From that menu choose phone settings. Then scroll down to the bottom of the menu and you will see "Turn off radio".
Hope this helps.

I am in London. It's raining like hell and humid, don't be too envious. I have the radio turned off on the phone and only wifi enabled. My Sprint phone number has been integrated and is now my Google Voice number, so all my texts/voicemails go to GV app. My question is, if I send and receive texts via wifi on GV app, will sprint still charge me for international text messages? The radio and mobile data are definitely off. Thanks.

I have a very stripped down ROM that I might get around to posting tomorrow. Might put the phone apk back in, but have radio off by default.
If you have the radiooptions binary, you can disable the radio using it. It should be in /system/bin/radiooptions

I don't think so being your on wifi and all things connected to sprint are shut down. But if you want to be safe just read upon Google voice and pricing for text and call's internationally. Also give sprint a call to be on the safe side. I can't answer that for a100% but I'm like 99.9% sure if the radio is off you should be good. By the way if you don't mind if you see anything worth a snap shot take a few. And if you also don't mind sharing them in a pm that would be pretty smooth. I wouldn't mind having a few pics of london. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the trip.

Can receive and send texts for free using GV!
16:35:54 : Daisy Y: At this time Google Voice text messaging doesn't support sending and receiving text messages from international numbers, with the exception of Canadian numbers. You can only send and receive text messages to phone numbers in the U.S and Canada.
16:38:00 : nayeem01: ok
16:38:05 : nayeem01: i have a further question
16:38:13 : Daisy Y: Sure.
16:38:56 : nayeem01: i know i can only send texts to US and Canada phone numbers. but I am in Europe at the current time. my phone is off. but i am using google voice on my computer to send text messages. is there a charge for that?
16:39:14 : nayeem01: my google voice number and sprint number are merged.
16:41:04 : Daisy Y: Yes, you will be charged for text @ $0.20 for the text.
16:41:38 : nayeem01: Why is that I am not even using my sprint phone? I am texting from my computer.
16:43:14 : Daisy Y: Let me confirm again.
16:43:19 : Daisy Y: Please give me a moment.
16:45:33 : nayeem01: Ok. My phone is OFF and does not even get service in London so its physically impossible for me to send/receive messages here. But, I can use the Google Voice site to send/receive messages to my normal Sprint number because they are merged. Just want to confirm there's no charge when I am texting from Google's Voice website even though its my Sprint Phone number.
16:46:59 : Daisy Y: Nayeem, you are correct. You will not be charge for the send text via Internet through your computer.
16:47:40 : nayeem01: even though it is using my sprint phone number?
16:47:49 : Daisy Y: Yes.
16:48:16 : nayeem01: Ok. Can you please notate this on my account so if I have any charges next month, I can tell them to read the notes.

If you have.a Sense Rom? I believe you can press *#*#4636#*#* through your phones Dialer. From there you'll be brought to a Menu where you could choose Phone Info

Good Luck!

now, what about going as far as actually removing phone functionality from the rom altogether? what apks and files need to be removed?

There is no ROM without radio. Radio is not a part of the ROM, but a part of the software below that level. I could make a completely stripped down ROM that only has what you want in it if you want. You just have to disable your radio yourself.

Missed Calls

Hello,
I'm on EE UK network and I keep getting text messages that i've missed a call even when i'm at home where i'm connected to wireless and also have 3 or 4 bars signal.
don;t understand why this keeps happening. I try calling my phone from another mobile and it works OK.
Any one know why this might happen?
Thanks

Are you sure its recent calls? Depending on your carrier it might log it and send it as a reminder later or something like that.

Problems like this are quicker to fix by wiping your phone, if you have data you want to backup either use titanium backup or do a nandroid backup (build into CWM)

I've wiped the phone but just found the problem still exists, any help with this will be appreciated. It's very annoying that people cant get through to me.

I read somewhere that the problem might be something to do with the 4g network. the network needs to switch from 4g to 3g to receive voice calls and if it doesn't switch quick enough, it results in a rejected/unconnected call but gives me a text to say someone couldn't get through.
is that possible?

I also have the same problem. While I was holding my device which had three bars of signal ,I was calling my number from a friend and kept getting the msg that it was not available, ..after 2 mins I received about 5 "missed call" messages. I think it's problem of EE though.

HOW TO Enable Voice Call Functions in 4.3 ROMs for Tab10.1/P7500/P4

Hi all,
This post is for those who are interested in using their tab 10.1 P7500 or P4 with voice call functions using 4.3 ROMS as a back up device in case normal phone bricks....
I was able to test two 4.3 based ROMs namely PAC Infamous by kasper_h (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2411081) and CM 10.2 SGT7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2098429) by twa_priv. Both worked and can be used with enabled voice functions. Other 4.3 ROMS found in the Android dev thread can also be used.
Here are some tips, perhaps useful to some, after installing your preferred 4.3 based rom above-mentioned.
1. Make sure that the right modem i9103XXLQ3 is flashed through CWM. You can get it herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875024.
2. Make sure that tab SIM card is enabled for phone calls by your provider. You can be sure that your phone SIM card is, when you transfer it to your tab. But if you only have an internet enabled SIM card by your provider, this guide won't work, no matter what.
3. After putting your SIM card in your device, open the settings, CLICK on "MORE", CLICK on MOBILE NETWORKS then CLICK on ACCESS POINT NAMES (APN).
4. CLICK on the PLUS (+) sign found on the upper right hand corner then manually put correctly the corresponding APN configuration of your SIM for both Internet and MMS (these APN settings vary depending on your provider and country so one must look that up, if the APN settings are not configured automatically. If you are using your phone SIM card, the APN settings can be found in the same settings area of your phone: see n. 2 above).
5. Once you set the APN configuration, CLICK on the THREE DOTS found on the upper right hand corner and then CLICK on SAVE. If you can't find the THREE DOTS sign, GO to SETTINGS, CLICK on BUTTONS and then in MENU BUTTONS, CHECK SHOW ACTION OVERFLOW which enables the display of the three dots..
6. It may also be necessary to reboot your device for the APN settings to be activated after configuration.
7. After that, click on NETWORK OPERATORS. When you choose your network in the settings, it may give an "error in searching networks message". Click then on the automatic search of network.Once it gives the message "Registered in your network", then the tab is ready for voice receive and call functions.
8. As mentioned by John Kester, the tab's SPEAKERS ARE OFF BY DEFAULT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452869) so you have to CLICK ON THE SPEAKER ICON everytime you receive or make a call.
Thanks to kasper_h, twa_priv and to john kester (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445431) for the help.
Enjoy and all the best!

Hi haythmams. For phone calls on cm 10.1 roms (Android 4.2.2) which you have just flashed on your tab10.1, please see threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231110
The post I have made applies to cm 10.2 roms based on Android 4.3. You might want to install them instead of the cm 10.1 based rom.
Either way, make sure that you have the correct APN configurations.
Hope this helps.

Already follow all your steps, but still can't call any number.
Just a beep and it says "call ended"
Maybe i missed something?
But, now i can call USSD number for my prepaid card info :victory:

I also experienced the "beep and call ended" phenomenon the first time I tried it but after RESTARTING the device and making sure that the APN configurations are SAVED, it worked for me (for both SGT7 and Infamous PAC 4.3 ROMS.
Make sure that in NETWORK OPERATORS configuration, the message "REGISTERED ON NETWORK" appeared.
Good luck.

Modem firmware i9103XXLQ3
I'm almost sure you need to flash the modem (Baseband version) i9103XXLQ3 to be able to make/receive voice calls with our P4...
BTW, why to configure the APN settings??? That's only to get data connection.
As far as I know, you just need that modem version and a voice-enabled SIM card.

Thanks Lucas. Most probably this is the solution which I overlooked and took for granted while writing the post. I remember installing this firmware after putting the APN configuration but I had no clue that this was the remedy...Noob inadvertence on my part
Anyway, will update my post. Thanks.
