Hi all
I just bought this tab SM-T815 and am still finding my way around it. I'll be taking a duplicate sim for this tab and will share my phone's data plan on this device (my carrier allows so). I see the tab has a phone app and I fear that I might receive calls both on my phone and tab thus leading to call drops/ missed calls. Is there any way to avoid getting calls on the tab?
Please help.
Well never mind, the solution was available with the carrier. They gave me a primary and a secondary number which would solve the issue of calls...
Try using offline mode with mobile data switched on.

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.
Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a weird issue here. I have a note 8 from Verizon which everyone knows comes unlocked. I am using it on AT&T and everything works well except for one thing. For some reason when I receive phone calls from people, it shows on the screen with a + sign in front of the phone number. So if someone calls me that is in my contact book, it will not show their name since there is no + sign in my contact book. So also now in my call history if I try to call that number back it sounds like it is trying to make an international call. I have no idea what is happening. Data, texts and calls work but instead of getting a call from 9999999999 I get +9999999999.
Please help me out here, I love the phone!!

I've read about this issue before. Googling 'incoming calls show +' gives you some leads.
In short it seems to be related to Dialling Assistance settings (note spell error, is as in settings...). I couldn't find those via the regular settings (used to be accessible via settings in Phone app), but I could via the app 'Shortcut Master (Light)' ...
Search for 'dialing' and then launch:
'com.android.phone.operator.usa.AssistedDialingActivity'. My settings (N950U1) are as per SS...
Try playing with these settings.
I have the international version of the note 8 and it periodically doesn't receive calls, or texts seem to come sometimes super late and I sometimes have to resend texts because it fails to send the first time. I've tried resetting it, factory reset, rooting and custom rom (2 different ones) and still the same issue. The calls don't show up in my missed calls but the voicemails do show up.
I have had all of the Notes from 1 up to this one, all rooted with custom roms but I can't seem to figure this out. The so not disturb is off, the caller isn't blocked, airplane mod is off, I have no idea! I'm running a T-Mobile sim and using the recommended APN and have also tried the others available. Still having the same issues, if someone can please point me in the right direction I would be so very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Does the same thing happen when you use the same SIM with other devices? If it does then there is an issue with the SIM. If it doesn't I would take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
I have a Moto X4 XT1900-1 which I have flashed the latest Lineage OS 16 on which is running on the Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO).
Simply put the phone seems to sleep right through texts and calls. It doesn't consistently wake up and ring or give me texts in a timely fashion.
I've tested it many ways including putting the phone on a table next to me and sending texts to it and it doesn't seem to wake up. In case you're wondering it does not seem to be a network issue because another phone with the same SIM card on the same table 5 minutes later works properly.
One of the more peculiar things is when texts do finally trigger a notification they will be dated as "8 minutes ago", for instance.
The same issue appears to be happening with incoming calls when I test them. It's difficult to tell how often I miss calls because many people just hang up if they get voicemail.
One more thing that I doubt has anything to do with the problem, but under mobile network, in settings, it has "preferred network type" and it is set to "global". Is this the correct setting for me to use?
Could it be just a setting I need to change? Any help would be most appreciated.
Hello,
For many months I have had a strange problem with my S21 Ultra, namely it does not seem to show me at random times that someone is calling me, no matter if via the cellular network or some communicators, it simply does not show notifications that someone is calling no matter how is calling. I often have it that only when I pick up the phone, unlock it and check something on it, suddenly messages come that someone tried to communicate with me, and only from then on I can answer calls until I hang up the phone and in an hour or two the same problem - over and over again. I have such an impression as if the phone itself went into some hibernation after putting away, although I have no indications that something like this is happening, because everything looks normal. The phone has the latest update, and I have restarted it several times with no effect.
I would like to add that this happens both in an apartment where I have wifi turned on (I do not use lte calls), and when I am outside while walking in the city.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
This is a very strange issue indeed. Have you checked if your phone has cell coverage when the screen is off? Did you try calling yourself from another phone and number? If the answer is negative to either question, I would suggest resetting your network settings. If that fails, try a factory reset which should solve any issues. If the issue still persists, it could be hardware related and you might need to take the phone to Samsung centre to get it checked.
I don't have a second phone to call myself. Friends say that on their end it sounds like I am not answering the call (i.e. they have a call signal, but just nobody is answering). They have no busy or unavailable signal. What exactly do you mean by a network reset, what would I exactly have to do? I was thinking about a factory reset, but I'm afraid that I will lose all my data and application settings. I do not know if it matters, but I have been using this phone since the premiere of the S21 Ultra, and when I bought it, I transferred all data via the data migration service from the previous S10+ phone, to which a few years ago I similarly transferred data from the S9+, to which I transferred data from S8 + earlier
Maybe you have the "do not disturb" option on? When I have this on, I can't see who is calling me.
I checked, unfortunately it's not that, if it were, I would never see someone calling, but my problem seems to be random.

u need to go to settings>general>reset and there tap reset network settings..
Hi,
I experience very similar problem. I tried to reset network settings, "hard" reset the phone, playing around different mobile network settings... nothing helps. I'm not sure if it is phone hibernation issue or kind of removal of the phone from cellular antenna.
I have another phone I use to watch this s21ultra issue. Practically each day it happens that the s21 ultra does not react to my call, of course most of the time it works properly, but there are some tries, when it fails. In such case on the phone I call from I get a message "user is not available". But then, leaving the s21ultra untouched for 10 minutes I get SMS saying that someone tried to contact me, so it is not obvious that the phone hibernated.
I was not able to reproduce the problem on the other sim card put in s21ultra (the carrier is different). I was not able to reproduce the problem on the other phone and the sim card from taken from s21ultra. In my opinion it is related to "weak" mobile signal and kind of "sensitivity" of s21ultra to low signal quality.
I reported the problem to my mobile network provider, but I'm still waiting for the answer. Anyway, I'm going to do the following:
- ask for sim card replacement (cheapest option),
- (if above does not help) go to samsung service and ask to check the phone - I hope they have some diagnostics tools,
- (if above does not help) install the second sim card (from different provider) and configure redirection of calls in case of "user unavailable" - I know it is "stupid" solution - but at least one of the carrier should work
- optionally root the phone - Can anyone confirm if it may help? At least I could enable toggling airplane mode each minute
