Hello: I stream music with T-MOBILE GPRS or EDGE but, my browser does not interrupted the connection when i received a call or text and it needs to be turn off manually in order to received the icons on the top screen. Can this be fixed? Customer service don't have a answer's. Any Ideas will be appreciated.
I have seen that occasionally too. Isn't it nice when you can listen to Internet radio without being disturbed by calls? What's the problem? ;-)
A soft reset seems to help for a while.

Is there a tool that disconnects EDGE after closing internet explorer or opera mini? S60 devices as well as the iphone has that capability and it's quite strange why windows mobile doesn't.
Hi there,
sorry, but, what for?
EDGE (as GPRS) is charged per volume ... This is quite an increase of usability. Do you remember using the internet by phoneline? When you were charged by the time you were online, no matter if you did something or not? Would you pay for gas even if your car is in your garage at home with the engine not running.
???
Sorry, I should have mentioned earlier that I'm in the US. So when my phone is connected to EDGE, I can't receive any calls. I have an unlimited data plan, so that's not my problem. My issues arise when exchange uses EDGE to check for emails, EDGE will remain connected and I won't get calls unless I manually keep disconnecting EDGE. My alternative is to use manual checks for emails and then disconnect the data connection after that. Do you see the inconvenience here?
Hi,
aah, ok, got it. But still don't understand, for blocking calls while edge is running is not the default behavior. In my case, these two work together very well, when receiving a call, edge is cut off and reconnects after the call is finished.
What kind of mobile are you using? Maybe there's help for you in the appropriate subforum. Hope you'll get this soluted, that's really inconvenient.
Best regards,
hey guys
ok so i have the TP2 running WM 6.5 professional
ROM 1.86.401.0 (67102) WWE
ROM date 25/9/2009
radio 4.49.25.17
protocol ver. 61.44tc.25.32U
my service provider is Etisalat in the UAE
the problem that im having is that when i set the BAND to AUTO, it picked up the the 3G network...but problem is that it keep shuffling between 3G and EDGE. because of that it wont recieve calls. one fix i was told was to manually select GSM BAND. the call problem was solved because of that.
but since i have done this, i been having another porblem. after using internet to say update the weather tab, i cant make or recieve call, or send sms or anything. everytime i use internet on the TP2, i have to switch to AIRPLANE MODE and then back to PHONE its driving me nuts
anyone facing the same problem? or has a fix to this?
Switching between 3G and Edge is normal, because not everywhere you have good service.
But just to make sure:
When you set band to AUTO and you are switching between 3G and Edge, can you call someone?
I had problems with my HTC Kaiser in the UAE. Etisalat and Du told me they only can provide mobile internet to BlackBerries and IPhones...
yeah, when it is switching between 3G and Edge, i cant make calls and i cant recieve calls either. they say my cell if off while its actually on

Go into the Bands page (where you manually select the bands). Press "WCDMA" to enable 3G only. That will keep you in 3G, but if you go into a non-3G area, you won't get any signal at all.
EDGE can only handle one thing at a time. If you don't have an active data connection, you can use the phone (call, SMS). If data connection is active, you can't use the phone functions. So, if you're on a webpage and someone calls you, their call won't go through.
3G allows you to use phone functions and data at the same time. So if you're on a web page and someone calls you, you can answer it.
ok that was surprisingly simple.. thanks
Edge can only handle one thing at a time? I routinely get and make calls and browse at the same time (or get emails via active outlook push connections, etc). And this is both when I'm in Edge areas (eg when I go to my cabin in Montana (heck - ANYWHERE west of Milwaukee) or when I have 3G (around here).
This does, however, appear to be a feature strictly of AT&T. But I don't believe the inability to do simultaneous data and call is a hardware or even Edge technology limitation - I believe its a network specific limitation.
Having said that, my money would be on an incorrect radio or DLL hanging around in the phone...
(Standard disclaimer: I know nothing about non-US carriers or their oddities. I reserve the right to be wrong- a right I exercise somewhat frequently )
well i upgraded to WM6.5 so the radio is the one that came with the upgrade.nothing else has been changed.
have a feeling the problem is with the phone as my pervious phone, sony ericsson's P990i had absolutely no porblems switching from data to call and back to data without having to do anything.
one thing i noted is that once i start an internet session, it keeps running unless i turn the switch to airplane mode to force a connection break.
hi guys,
sometimes 3g/H icon disappears from its place when i make calls. obviously i am losing my internet connection. i have been using my mobile for 4 months, i hadnt noticed that before. have any of you experienced such a thing?
(tmobile uk)
thank you
glen
I believe that is because the phone turns off the 3G to save battery power while calling. Seen as you won't be browsing the internet while you are speaking to somebody.
thank you for your response
but it is not happening every time and i do browse when i am middle of a call
i reckon it started after a hard reset which i did a few days ago. anyone loosing h/3g during call?
thank you

when u place a call the data connection disconnects, mabye the icon stays there sometimes, but the data connection always disconnects
thanks again,
but i have just tried again, when i call my other mobile and answer, i am being able to go to homescreen and browse net with dolphin as long as h/3g icon is there. if it is lost, i cant browse. you can try if you have data plan or so...
but i couldnt get why that icon gets lost at the very time when i make a call? (sometimes)
thank you

I under that Sprint VoLTE may get rolled out next year which may fix this problem.
My hotspot works on my Note 4 but if I receive a phone call or a text message it automatically shuts down and I receive the following error. "Unable to connect to data network, turning off Hotspot"
I know I can't surf and talk on the phone at the same time but is there a way for the hotspot to stay on so when I hang up the phone I can go back to surfing?
This is an major inconvience because I have my Note 4 tied to my home phone system through bluetooth. My Note 4 stays upstairs in a window where I get the best reception in my house. So when the hotspot errors, I have to go upstair and turn it back on.
Any advice?
Thanks.

+1 Very annoying indeed. I have the same problem... It's especially annoying because I set up Google voice to answer all my calls but as soon as it rings from hangouts I lose Internet connection and the voip call drops. Then the phone goes to cellular and I have to answer the phone that way... How do I prevent this? Not call screening I hope.
Easy fix - don't use Sprint for your ISP.
Some of us don't have that option.
That's fine, just realize that you're violating the T&C of your contact and leaching the bandwidth for the rest of us. If you do this, don't EVER complain about crappy download speeds on LTE or 3g since it's probably just someone using that tower as their personal pipeline. RIP unlimited data if this continues.
And there is a fix, use the search function.
Pilotmills, do you have a link to the fix?
Or, do you know what words I should search on?
I can't find the fix.
Thanks.

As of recently I shave been noticing my voicemail getting messages, but no missed calls, there are also certain times where my pebble watch will say there is no Internet connection when I am connected to cell data. Are these related? Also I really need to be able to know when I'm getting calls. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, just found out if do change to 3g it will work, but not on lte
