With Vodafone UK. When I'm travelling in Germany I have roaming ( with data enabled ).
No problems with signal quality / strength.
However, when someone tries to call me, the phone goes straight to voice mail without even ringing.
SO, I switched off the data roaming, and called my phone. It rang with no problems. Switched on data , and the same problem....goes straight to voice mail.
Anyone experience this ?
Thanks...

Some months ago I bought me a TyTN II. Love the device, but not without the possibility to go online. So I also bought a Mobile data subscription.
Here in Belgium it's with the the provider base, en they only offer 2G, Edge.
I use it for browsing the internet, blogging en I check some mailboxes.
All good and well but ever since, I have more missed calls than calls that come trough.
People immediatly get my voicemail. And since I use the phone for my business it 's kinda important that I receive most of the calls.
So I called my provider to complain, and they said it's my phone's fault. By default an incoming call is more important than data so the data should be interrupted to let the incoming call get through.
Are there people with the same problem here? Solutions maybe?
Or is my provider wrong and should I complain some more?

I have the tytn2 with t-mobile in the states and have the same issue. With no 3g incoming calls take a backseat to web browsing. If pages are already loaded then you get the call if data is in working mode (loading stuff) then the call goes to vm. With 3g it's a non-issue. But no 3g for t-mo here yet.
I can't say that I have the same problem. I haven't had any voicemails pop up without a call indicator. I am on AT&T and I too am in an EDGE network region.
I have noticed same problem with TyTn II on Orange, not found a fix yet!

It is definitely a 2g/3g issue - 2g data transmission is not compatible with simultaneous voice while 3g is. I can easily duplicate this behavior by using commmgrpro to change the data band, open IE and call the cel simultaneously. This is not a phone issue to the best of my knowledge - no phones are capable of 2g/voice together, although some might do a better job of "prioritizing" a call over a data session.

That is absolutely correct. Once in a 2G network only, you cannot use Voice and data at the same time. This is one of the main advantages of the 3G, where you can browse and get voice at the same time.
And there is no way around it. Either Voice, or data. Sorry.
I think he's getting at why can't he pick which one should be most important. For example, I have push email running...and this obviously requires a constant data connection...why is it that push email automagically picks up the fact that a phone call is coming in and allows itself to be prioritized whereas internet explorer does not?

Push email means you're constantly connected but it does not mean your phone is constantly transmitting/receiving data. It's only receiving data when you actually receive an email. So I doubt Push Email has any different priority settings.
it's operator phone equipment depended only
non of my 2g phones ever had call's sms's mms's blocked by grps
I know I can not recieve Data while on a phone call with Edge. But shouldn't an incoming call interrupt an Edge connection?
I have a stock AT&T Tilt rom (latest WM 6.0 not 6.1) I have KaiserTweak with most settings in it set to advised. Is there anything in KaiserTweak that will cause this to happen?
I am trying to run IM+ on the phone and when it is online and connected all calls go straight to voicemail. Also when I tether and a phone call comes in it goes straight to voicemail and doesn't ring my phone. I WANT it to interrupt my Data service so I can get the phone call. (it is a phone after all)
This seems to be more of a function of the specific phone rather than the phone network. For instance, if you call a 1st gen iphone (2g/edge) while it is on an active data connection, it will disconnect the data session and the phone will ring. However, the same is not true of a Kaiser/Tilt.
My best guess is that phones w/ 3g pay less attention to edge performance and features because 3g can coexist simultaneously with a phone call.
RK
On the tilt, when you're connected to EDGE, calls will interrupt the connection IF it is idle and no data is being transferred. If data is being transmitted then the call is rejected. I've never seen anything about changing that behavior.
2.5G vs 3G
First of all excuse me for my English.
I know that EDGE is an evolution of GPRS, commonly knowed as 2nd generation. For this reason is called 2.5 generation. In GPRS and EDGE, data connection is stopped during a voice call. EDGE inherit the behaviuor of GPRS. Only 3g standards like UMTS HSDPA or HSUPA allows data connection during a voice call.

It turns out that if you have the "Disconnect After" setting enabled in KaiserTweak phone calls will not stop Edge. If I turn this off then I receive calls while on an Edge connection. Seems kinda silly to me. Now I have to pretty much have data on at all times. Goodbye battery life.
I'm having some issues receiving phone calls when I'm in 4G mode - I'm aware of the fact that voice over lte doesn't work yet, however in my understanding the phone should quickly switch to 3g mode and accept the incoming call, right?
Apparently my P7-L10 has trouble with that. It just doesn't switch, and the incoming call goes to voicemail.
Is that normal? Is there any fix to make the device switch to 3g mode quicker upon a call?
Running B135 rom, rooted.

I'm having fine calls when I'm on 4G. (Milan, north Italy). Perhaps your city has too few 4G antennas and doesn't have stable 4G signal so it switches back and forth to 3G while you're having a call?

I don't think that's the issue, 4G coverage here is pretty amazing.

Forget what I wrote, I forgot that voice calls don't have to do anything with LTE, lol.
Anyway I'm having fine calls with 3G or 2G, have you tried doing a nandroid backup and start over to see if the problem occurs also in fresh state?
Fine calls with 3g or 2g here as well.
Except when I'm on 4G - nobody can reach me, it all goes to voicemail...
I could say I started fresh - I did a factory reset and a clean wipe 3 days ago, but I haven't noticed the issue untill yesterday.
On a French, people reported issues with calls in 4g covered area, but it seems that the problems come from network, not from the phone. The issues appear only in certain areas with one operator, and some other phones behave in same manner. Perhaps you need to check with another SIM card from another operator.
hello,
I encounter the same problem receiving my incoming calls in automatic mode 4G 3G 2G redirected my mail. When I'm on automatic 3G2G no problem.
I'm B133 update. 4 months no problem. Since mid-October the problem occurred.
My operator is Virgin Mobile. P7 smartphones, antennas or operator?
The rocker 4G 3G to receive calls no longer made. Tried my sim card on a S5 and a LG G2 and the problem is the same.
After several calls to my operator solution but not another concern, I have to connect data to receive my calls 4G 3G 2G automatic.
I'll try to go B121 update or réinisilisation P7.
If no solution change operator before trying their sim card lent by friends subscribers home.

I just bought my note 5. Its the dual sim version. So the first few days was days.... i started having difficulty with making outgoing calls... texts are fine... its like 1 out 10 calls would push through. So i rebooted my phone thinking that it might resolve the issue....unfortunately it did not. Then a few friends sent me a message that theyve been trying to call me and it always says im out of coverage are... the whole time this was happening I was connected to LTE. When i changed my mobile network setting to 3g/2g .... then calls came in and went out. Has anyone have the same issue with note 5?
The international versions don't have VoLTE enabled. Not sure how to enable it. Mine also doesn't have WB-AMR (HD Voice) enabled either.
Thus, calls need to be switched through the HSPA network and can't be routed while connected to LTE. Essentially when making a call your phone switches and tries to register on HSPA, quickly.
I recently changed to H2O, which is an AT&T reseller for those who are unfamiliar, and I'm having a very peculiar problem.
When I go to make a call, as soon as I tap the green button to make the call, sometimes my signal drops to 0 bars and I can't make the call. Sometimes this happens repeatedly and it's impossible to call anyone. But sometimes the call will go through after the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th try. However, sometimes it drops to emergency calls only after the call fails, or sometimes it drops to no service.
Additionally, when I go to change the conditional call forwarding under dialer - settings - calls - call forwarding, as soon as I tap call forwarding, the signal bars vanish and I get a call settings error. This happens almost all of the time. And again, sometimes it will drop to emergency calls only, or a several times I've had it drop to no service.
When I give up trying to make a call or change call forwarding settings, the signal strength will return after a minute or so, which is currently fluxuating around -112 dBm 28 asu, -116 dBm 24 asu, 110 dBm 30 asu. Not sure what any of that means though.
Frequently, incoming calls do not reach my phone. Often I'll get a text message asking me why I'm not answering my phone, but it never rang. There's no indication that my phone was out of service as there is always at least one bar.
I can send text messages with no problem at all. My data also works just fine. In fact, one of my friends gave up calling my phone number and instead calls me on WhatsApp because that's the only way he can get a hold of me. He would call my number, have it fail, and then immediately call me on WhatsApp and that goes through because my data doesn't usually have any issues.
I've tried changing APN settings according to different information I got from H2O. I've tried changing the preferred network type to 3G and 2G. Changing to 2G seems to help my ability to make calls, or maybe it just seemed that way. I've contacted H2O numerous times about it. They opened multiple tickets on it and finally said that there's no problem on their end getting service on that sim card. I sorta verified this because the sim card doesn't display this problem in my 1st gen Moto X, an XT1053.
Two other people in my house are on the AT&T network, one on Cricket with a Galaxy S6 (G920AZ), and one on H2O with a Galaxy S3 (T999) and they never have any issues here at home or elsewhere.
My phone is an XT1095 pure edition. I run stock 6.0, 24.11.18.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US, kernel 3.4.42-g389e46b, rooted, TWRP, with no apps that modify call behavior except Google Voice which is set to never use GV to make calls. This phone worked flawlessly on several different T-Mobile resellers. I'm about to switch back to another T-Mobile reseller but I thought I'd post here about this strange issue first because I don't want to always be limited to the T-Mobile network.
Any advice or input is greatly appreciated.
