why when I'm calling someone and talking with them I dont have 3G network, and I can't surf the internet? but only when I talk after I close the call I can surft the internet... Its the same at you also ?
For me while I'm on wcdma I can use the Internet but while on Gsm I can't
in my city is like H+/H everywhere..but when I call someone I can't do notjing
in 2G or 3G network,you can't use network-based internet while a call is in progress.but you can use wi-fi connection during a call.

I have a little problem here: If i turn on HSDPA i get the H icon and REALLY GOOD internet speed, but i can't make video calls. If i turn it off, i get 3G icon, pretty good internet speed and video calls. Can't i have HSDPA turned on AND also have 3G (video calls) ?
HSDPA is used only for downloading data when you hvae it on. Thats a little starnge and sounds more like a bug to me than something wrong with the network or Kaiser

Thanks, i kinda figured it's a bug, although it could be obvious for someone who actually knows how this stuff works that you can't have 3G and HSDPA at the same time.
Can anybody try to make a video call while H icon is displayed, please? (no need to wait for someone to answer, i get "can't make video call" immediately, just dial a bogus number)
I rarely get the H icon, only at the aiport at sertain places. But like austinsnyc said, i would have expected it would switch back automatically
As far as I'm aware, you can't make a video call on any mobile phone while there is a data transfer in progress.
Basically the answer is "yes" because a data transfer session and a video call are mutually exclusive, and the phone only uses HSDPA (and shows an "H") when there's an active session, so you can't make a video call when the "H" is showing...
Just to confuse things further, I'm pretty sure it's the network operator that decides how long their customer's phones hold on to an HSDPA connection...
T-Mobile and Vodafone in the UK are the only HSDPA-enabled networks that I've used, and they both return me to a "normal" 3G connection immediately after a data transfer, so the "H" is only displayed briefly - when the phone is actively transferring data.
After the data is downloaded, the HSDPA connection is closed immediately and my phone switches back to the "3G" icon, which allows me to make a video call. If your network allows the HSDPA session to stay active, then you'd need to end it yourself before making a call...
(BTW, this is just my understanding, please feel free to tell me I'm talking rubbish!)
Thanks guys, your info got me a lot closer to the truth (i now know you can have 3G while HSDPA is enabled in settings).
Those really not interested skip this part:
My problem is that i NEVER see the 3G icon and i can't make video calls if i enable HSDPA, even if i don't make a data connection, just enable it in settings (in my network even the name of the operator changes when i have 3G coverage so i know for sure that if i enable HSDPA i never get anything 3G, no data speed, no video call)
To make things more clear: it's like i have two phones:
1. with HSDPA or GPRS depending on location and availability, this is what i get if i enable HSDPA in settings, no video calls, operator name always "Vodafone RO"
2. with 3G or GPRS depending on location and availability, this is what i get if i disable HSDPA in settings, i can make / receive video calls, operator name "3G Vodafone RO" or "Vodafone RO" when 3G not available
I guess this is operator dependent, and it's probably something with my network, but it's really disturbing since i cant have both video calls AND really high speed data, only one at a time with soft reset. I guess i'll call thier customer service.
Sorry for the big block of text...

Pricipally, a 3G phone could handle a PS (packet switch) connection and a CS (channel switch) connection simultaneously. The Kaiser is, however, apparently not in this class. The unability to set up a video call while there is "H" in the display can be due to the network configuration. If the operator uses the same carrier for both "normal" PS and HS(D)PA you can probably perform a video call while you see the "H". If the network uses separate carriers for CS/PS and HSPA it is quite likely that the operator will not let you make a video call while your terminal is listenig to a HSPA-enabled carrier.
dumb question.... but i was under the impression you could make a phone call and access the internet at the same time. Is this not true?
I was on the phone and tried to access the internet and was told NO. i am on a 3G connection.
Well ofcourse I do not know exactly what happened with you, but some providers have 'buggy' setups that can cause this. Most of those providers are working hard fixing that problem right now.
You can turn 3G off somewhere, I know I've seen it, but now I can't find it. Change the type of connection from UMTS to GPRS/GSM, there's a setting _somewhere_. If you do that, you will only get GPRS connectivity. Try calling and getting data at the same time then, if it works, your provider is not really ready for 3G yet.
Interesting. I am with ATT and 3G seems to be full power in all locations I am using it in.
I cant find where / how to turn 3G off and only use GPRS.
I can tell you that I have tested 3G with internet sharing to my notebook over bluetooth. I was able to talk with a BT headset, and access the internet with the laptop thru the phone, all at the same time. When connected the phone shows "H" or "3G". This is with a Kaiser but I would expect the same from a Tilt. AT&T in Southern Calif. I installed "Schen's 10 button comm manager" and with it's 3G button I can hold off 3G, then the display shows "E" and no simul connections are possible.
You can only use voice and data with HSDPA. GPRS/Edge does not allow this, they use the same band for data as the voice band. If you see the "H" icon they you are picking up the extra data bands needed for this to work. I have tested this will streaming live tv to my phone from my media center via webguide. Even with the "3G" icon i was not able to stream video and talk at the same time, the video would pause while i was on the phone then resume connection when i hung up or the "H" icon appeared.
I can confirm that I'm seeing this bug. There is no 3g towers in my area. I'll be showing the edge icon and be talking and when i try to load a web page, Opera will complain that a data connection does not exist.

It's not a bug... GPRS/Edge is not capable of simultaneous voice/data. You will not be able to do both until 3G is available in your area (though this doesn't explain the OP's issue).
Hello all,
Have any of you guys come across this problem with your X1...I was connected to the internet via GPRS earlier this afternoon doing a little browsing and have now received 3 missed call notifications which were made during my browsing.
Does the phone not receive calls when connected to GPRS...very annoying.
I'm using the Touch X 10.1 rom by Smaberg but don't think that is the problem...any ideas!!!
some phone operators with older hardware in their end don't support call and gprs at the same time
not really a phone thing
Thanks for the reply...I'm on the Orange network so I thought they would have been up to speed with technology incorporating call and data at the same time...
Same issue here.
I'm pretty sure that GPRS and voice calls can't work at the same time because of the 2G network, but thought at least the voice call would interrupt the data session.

That's my understanding. 3 & 3.5G allows voice and data at the same time.
but on 2G it's either GPRS or voice... that used to drive me crazy with my Prophet too
Ah, that makes sense...I usually turn off the 3G to extend battery life so that would be the reason I missed calls...may turn it back to 3G if I'm doing a session of browsing in future...
Cheers
even with my 2g himalaya I didn't have any problems with both calling and gprs
it was why gprs was interduced to replace the slower and older gsm dataconnection
which worked the same way as an analog modem which blocked of cause
of cause only class A gprs devices support that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Packet_Radio_Service#Hardware
but all these phones today are that
problem is that class A is required in both the phone and the operators network hardware
Try with RADIO ROM 1.16.
Problem with this rom is apparently solved.
hi
i am having a problem, when i am using edge, i cant receive any voice call instead it goes straight to voice call. is there any fix ... radio or thread?
pls help
ANYONE?
you cant phone and surf the web with EDGE or GRPS...this is only possible with UMTS or H
I MEANT

I MEANT THAT WHEN DATA PACKETS IN PROCESS (EDGE). ANY CALL SHOULD TAKE PRIORITY OVER THE GPRS BUT INSTEAD THE CALL IS NOT ACCEPTED (GOES STRAIGHT TO VOICE MAIL)
in MY N95 THE GPRS STOPS WHEN I RECEIVE A VOICE CALL (VOICE CALL TAKES PRIORITY OVER THE GPRS)
BUT ON XPERIA THE GPRS TAKES PRIORITY OVER THE VOICE CALL
ANY SOLUTIONS PLS
As the title says, when my Nexus One is connected to a Wifi network it turns off 3G. Which makes since to save battery. I'm in Japan, and use Softbank as my carrier. Softbank does not use 2G for voice, but only 3G for voice and HSPA(+) for data.
So I am unable to receive voice calls while on Wifi...I thought about using Google Voice as a workaround but it still does not support re-routing non-U.S. phone numbers.
Any ideas? I hope custom ROMS such as Cyanogenmod fix this.
Thanks,
Brandon

WOW that stinks. i think that the best thing todo is wait for the source being released and than make a request.
I get 3g when I'm on wifi...
Change your phone settings to WCDMA only.
*#*#4636#*#*
it doesnt turn 3g off, it just removes the 3g icon from next to your signal meter. but you still have hsdpa connection if you go into settings and check. is this what you mean?
uhhh that doesnt sound right... you should still have your 3g voice connection even on wifi...
Yes, the 3G icon goes away when connected to WiFi.
I just tried it again, and it worked. I don't know why it didnt the other times I tried to call from it, and tried calling to the phone,
Thanks
