Title pretty much explains it. While on a call, through bluetooth (Voyager Pro+) I have no internet connection via my home Wifi. If I switch to the phone speaker while still on call it works fine. Switch back to bluetooth and instantly problems.
Not sure if its no internet or if it just turns so slow that everything times out. I know while on call without 3g my phone will instantly say network error. On wifi through bluetooth though it just sits there trying to retrieve, eventually saying network error like 5 minutes later

Title says it all. When I'm talking on the phone I'm unable to use wifi data. Browsing, apps which require data, maps, nothing workings while on a call.
I am running CM6 stable but this issue has been around for a while that I can remember.
Is there a work around? Could I be doing something wrong?
Thanks
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but as far as i'm aware you can't use data and calls at the same time unless if your using 4g, which of course MC6 doesn't yet support.

You cannot use 3g data while on a call but I cannot see why you cannot use WIFI while on a call. I will test this on Stock Rooted and let you know in a few minutes.
It must be and issue with CM6 as I am able to make a call and surf the web, access the market, etc.. using WIFI at the same time with stock rooted..

Thanks for the confirmation. I've wondered this as well but I haven't noticed any other CM6 user complain about this issue. Maybe there's something in the settings I need to enable?
Its not cm6 or whatever I am having the same issue. No email or surfing while on the phone and simultaneously connected to wifi. Like the first post "title says it all". I am on Stock sprint rom. Just updated to the 3.70, but this problem has been going on noticably for a week prior maybe longer. I was hoping the update would fix it. Any thoughts? or answer?
You can use wifi whiles on a call to browse internet and use apps that require data. I been doing so since I first got a evo months ago. I only used it on one asop rom and that's cm 6.0 rc2 it worked fine when my gf was annoying me with her boring convo lol so i put on the bluetooth headphones and acted like i was paying attention whiles i was one facebook.
When is the last time you tried? I have been trying to use it on a calls all day, with no luck. Only time Wifi connects is when I hang up.
Scenario a: Wifi is turned off; I initiate call; try to turn on Wifi; Wifi will not connect .
Scenario b: Wifi is on; I initiate call; Wifi will not allow surfing until the phone is hung up.
Also when running speed test while on phone will produce very low speeds less than 64k when my speed should be around 12mbps. Again once phone is hung up the speeds return to normal. The speeds resemble a connection that is being throttled.
Are you connected to a Bluetooth headset while in a call?
Just noticed the blue tooth issue. Thanks for the response, but what gives. Surfing used to work while on bluetooth/phone call. For a while that was my only way to listen to music through my BT headset. I had to initiate a call to voicemail and play Iheart.

Heh, it's hit and miss for me.
What i've discovered is......
-If WiFi and the Bluetooth device are connected before initiating the call, it should work fine.
-Sometimes, the Bluetooth device can be connected later, as long as WiFi is connected to a network before call is initiated.
-You can disconnect the Bluetooth device during a call, turn on speaker [or not] to continue the call, and WiFi will connect, but will probably disconnect when you reconnect the Bluetooth device.
-Using method above, you can sustain WiFi connectivity whilst Bluetooth device is connected if you start to browse a website or launch a data required app such as an IM or online radio app, then while it's in the middle of connecting to one of those, reconnect the Bluetooth device.
Lot of trouble? Hell yes. I'm not sure if this is a problem with HTC's software or a hardware problem with having WiFi/Bluetooth on the same chip.
I was about to post this question up on the Hero forum but I found this thread. I have the same problem. Wifi will connect unless on a call but......sometimes if you are already connected before initiating call wifi will stay on FOR A BIT. After a while, wifi will disconnect on its own and if you are lucky it will reconnect later on. Note this is not alway the case. It ussually stays off. I just dont understand why this happens.
Hello, droid incredible, non rooted.
I have a full and strong wifi signal at my house. However, sometimes when I go to turn my phone back on from when the screen is off, I will realize that in have not been connected to the internet. It shows full bars in wifi. I have to turn off wifi and then back on to get it back. Happens several times a day. VERY annoying. However, my connection seems to be ok at my work's wifi and other places.
Sometimes my 3g seems to not with quite right, in have to toggle airplane mode on and them back off to reconnect...
Any thoughts? Hardware?
OH, and the wifi sleep policy is set to Never.
ALso, my laptop and my desktop are on the network and they don't drop their wifi connection, only my phone...
Just got a note 3 for tmo, currently my device is unrooted and fully stock. I noticed that my wifi being on, it works great but cell signal is near gone...sometimes even wont let a text get sent. as soon as i turn off wifi cell signal is perfect same as on my note 2 or that G2 i got rid of.
i noticed the following....
Wifi signal switching feature on or off, cell signal still is gone.
Wifi on, wifi calling on or off signal still suffers, in fact i even disabled wifi calling from the application manager for now. (never did like wifi calling)
Wifi on, make a phone call signal still stays low.
Wifi off, cell signal strong
Wifi off, make a call all is even better.
So, whats the deal? is there a fix? A search only came up with a thread about turning off the wifi switching thing in advanced features, but like i said it dont matter or work. any other search talks about wifi and it dropping and or about wifi calling dropping calls....
edit, i looked in the system setting, and noticed that the signal in my house right now says -90. turn wifi on, network says unknown from LTE, and sits at -90.
turn wifi off, network says LTE and signal still stayed at -90 (it did change a little but stayed at average of -90)
it seems as if the signal bars just dont show up with wifi on. like it cant walk and chew gum at the same time (cant show wifi bars and cellular signal bars at the same time)
what threw me off was when i couldnt send a text until i turned wifi off.
i also disabled wifi calling from my account level as well. didnt change anything.
do these phones need the sim that came in then box? my sim came from a note 2.
It is odd, but I have the same behavior. When I'm on WiFi, I have no bars for my mobile signal despite there being no change in the signal related parts of About Device->Status
So, no real answer, but you're not the only one seeing this.
Turn on Wi-Fi calling. Make a call to ur vm. End call. Go to setting click Wi-Fi calling and then connection preference. Then click prefer cell network. Wait 5 seconds then shut off Wi-Fi calling. Should be fixed
TWEAKED 2.0 NOTE 3
I have no idea why, but this worked. I already had the 'Prefer mobile network' option set and Wi-Fi calling disabled, but this little dance corrected the problem. Thanks for the tip!

amazing, i didnt make a call, all i did was turn wifi calling on, then off and all the sudden cell signal worked with wifi on. but for some reason, my phone app FC when i tried to look at the connection preferences. not that i care i dont use WIFI calling as it sounds like crap or is choppy for some reason. (well in the past it was) thanks! now i can actually use wifi!
I called someone the other day i had wifi on, and the person couldnt hear me half the time. next phone call was wifi off and everything worked perfectly. very odd bug, im shocked that it hasnt been corrected yet.

Only default text app (Hangouts or any from the Play Store can't) can send MMS and SMS through WIFI.
Not sure what settings to tweak on my home router, but I have tried many different option on Asus AC68U router. The problem happens on my home router mostly and my work wifi works just fine.
My phone shows that Wifi calling is active on the notification bar, but as soon as I dial a number and hit talk, it acts as if it is connecting and then wifi calling suddenly becomes unavailable and dialing is stopped. I then pickup 0-1 bar of cell tower signal.
I then have to wait about 2-3 minutes for wifi calling to auto reconnect and becomes active on the status bar. If I dial a number again immediately, it works great this time around. If I let it sit idle for some time, the problem happens again.
Something seems to be making wifi calling timeout(?) but phone thinks it is still connected. If I do the dialing as soon as Wifi calling becomes active it works great (probably not timed out or something at that time).
I am rooted but on stock sprint rom.
Anybody else have similar wifi calling issues? If so, did you have to setup your router different?
Hello guys!
Here is the deal. I hope somebody is able to help me. I have a galaxy s6 920p with the ramified ROM (OH1 version on OI1 band) that works perfectly except for this weird issue. So, i am in Peru and i unlocked my phone, it works perfectly with my local carrier on LTE or 3G depending on the coverage EXCEPT when i connect to a wireless network(WIFI), if i do so my LTE 3G icon will dissapear as expected and be replaced with the WIFI bars and i would then be on Wifi internet which is fine. The problem comes when i move away from wifi signal or turn off the WIFI myself, the signal bar will remain full and i can make and receive calls normally but there will be a "!" sign next to it indicating that the mobile data is not working, the only way to fix this is by either rebooting the phone or setting it to flight mode for around 10 seconds and then bringing it back to normal, which makes my mobile data start working normally until the next time i turn on the WIFI. I have also noticed that my APN gets unticked everytime i connect to WIFI, regardless of this sometimes (i would say 30%) if i turn off the wifi the 3g/lte connection will resume normally. I am a pilot and sometimes i keep my phone without airplane mode, in the air i lose signal but as soon as i regain ground i recover my lte/3g, so this also indicates me that is not something related to the reconnection of signal itself but something regarding the WIFI. I hope you guys have any clue of what is going on here because it is really annoying and i haven't found any info about this. TY in advance!!!!
