I have done it before while on the phone, have you tried a profile update, maybe a setting is not correct.

Its because that functionality is not supported on CDMA networks like Sprint.

This is inaccurate. Simultaneous data and voice is not available unless connected to wifi or 4g. You are able to text and talk. I just had my share today.
Interesting, I thought because of the reasons below you could not text while talking. I just tried sending a text while talking... And it worked! I initially had wifi on, but disabled it during the convo. Tried sending the text again, successfully. Go figure. Maybe texts do go through, but you can't browse.
Sprint uses cdma. Voice uses this network for its transmissions. exts are sent using cdma (1x actually). If you're talking you can't be texting. Now if you're on 4g or wifi, texts may piggy back via that network instead.
I don't remember having a problem doing a text amd talking on the phone. Now I need to try this out.

Are you sure it isn't saying sent and then sending it after you hangup? read this http://htcsource.com/2010/03/sprint-disables-simultaneous-voice-and-data-for-htc-evo-4g/
I just tried it between my EVO and my blackberry (both on sprint)
I used the evo to call the bb, put them both on speaker and sent text messages between the phones.
On cdma SMS is transferred on the voice channel. If you attach a file and try to send it via SMS it becomes MMS and MMS uses data. I tried that and all I got was sending... when I hung up the voice call the picture was actually sent.

Has anyone received a message from sprint asking if your having any problems streaming? I got it this morning and there was a phone number on it but didn't write it down and it hasn't reappeared. It didn't come as a text or email. Some kind of urgent message or something like that.

Just showed up, it was on my home screen when I got up this morning. I've never seen a message come through my phone like that before.
Thats strange I have no Idea. Never got it never seen it. I'll get text from sprint sometimes. But thats about it.
I never got anything either, though as most of us i run a custom rom so im not sure if that is something that got disabled if it was not standard text...
You know the first time you turn on your phone (Running stock) and there's a message on the screen. Was it like that?
I got a message letting me know that I can add tethering to my account for $30 but nothing about streaming. I found it kind of odd since I never really use tethering, although I do stream a lot of stuff.

Is it me or is the multi-tasking lacking in this samsung rom? With the HTC i could be on a call and still browse the web with wifi or take a pic or whatever I wanted to but not with this samsung phone. Also what the heck is up with not being able to use the phone at all which transferring data to/from the computer? Is this something that the developers will address or should I turn in this phone for the HTC 3D?
i dont know what you are talking about i browse the web and take phone calls all the time... are you hitting your home button in the phone app?
2nd that, no problems no complaints.
I don't know what you are talking about. All of that stuff works just fine for me.
If you wanna go for the EVO3D go for it, I had 3 of 'em. All of them had horribly weak 2G/3G radios. Bright screen, washed out. Narrow form factor (some like it, I hated it). The resolution was fantastic. The camera was craptastic, at best. Great dev scene, if you are into 50 themed version of the stock rom (though there are a bunch of great roms for it...most aren't).
All-in-all a great phone, but, I have never regretted the switch...not once.
If you don't mind the 16:9 screen and the super bright LED buttons ( which can be fixed with root) evo3d isn't a bad phone. I never had any radio issues, but it just wasn't right for me to hang on to.
I do all that stuff all the time. Pressing your home button during a call turns your notification bar green, and you can do whatever you want

You can't 3g while you're on a call. However, you can 4g while on a call and definitely wifi while on a call.
When my gf calls and shes yammering about the neighbors or something im usually playing Greedy Spider or burn the rope or using LOLbrowser on the wifis.

Weird. It's not working for me. Is there a setting you have to change first? I tried calling my land lie to test. It says it's not allowed while call is in place. It was the same thing with my old epic 4g, and I just assumed it was normal.

I did a search and didn't find anything similar to my issue. I'm running EVO Classic ROM and have had no issues with texts until today. My texts just aren't coming through, and when I make a phone call I get a flood of texts. I've restarted my phone already.
Any ideas?

common things that could mess with txt msgs are airave, setting radio to cdma only and sprint towers acting goofy.
try checking ##3282# and see what evdo is set at. should be auto.
The same exact thing happened to me too! I thought i was the only one but guess not. I searched for answers here on line to figure out what the problem was and i never fixed it. I ended up having to unroot and take my phone into sprint and i got a refurbished Evo 4g for free.

When I had the problem i chanhed roms like 7or 8 times and it kept happening on all of them, it wasn't an application causing it either because right when my phone booted up after flashing a rom, a would do a test call or text and my phone wouldn't ring. As soon as i placed my first call i would recieve the missed message.

It's usually because there's a problem in the area or the prl.
Sent from my RED XDA.
I had called Sprint several times and had them do everything on their end to fix it. They updated prl, profile, (ive also done this myself several times as well), they refreshed the signal on their end, they did about everything they could and i did everything i could do but nothing fuxed it. You can use Ghostly Sms from the market to catch the some of the missed messages, it didnt catch them all for me and it wont help withissing calls. Sprint also said it gad nothing to do with the area or towers and also my fiances phone is working just fine anyways.

Wow, this is frustrating. After half a year of thinking that Sprints network sucks and suffering through terrible connections I finally fixed my issue. After an ice storm this week I was getting nothing but a slow 3g connection. Tonight I was digging through ##data# settings and switched the network from "hybrid mode" to "cdma/evdo/lte mode" and the thing connects giving me 1.1 mb/s for download speeds. I thought I was going to have to force LTE only to be able to connect but I have not dropped back to 3g since switching over to this. I wish I would have done this months ago but toggling airplane mode worked to give me my 4g back so I didn't really worry about it.
If I remember from the epic touch days when you mess around with that it doesn't allow you to send MMS or make calls I think. Might be different now.

Sorry it took me a couple days to reply. I wanted to make sure to put it through all the paces. I have had nobody tell me they weren't able to reach me. This has actually been an improvement for me because while I was at home and would receive a phone call I would only hear the ring for about 5 seconds before it sent them to the voicemail. Phone calls are ringing right in now. One thing that happens is I get "darth vader" sounding either on my end or their end after a ten minute conversation or so. Although that happened before I changed this setting when I was stuck on 3g. Network pangs I guess. I am more than happy to call somebody back to have a steady 4g connection. All SMS/MMS questions do not apply to me because of how I use my phone. With google voice those are both going through data instead of messaging in its traditional sense. I LOVE google voice and the extensions to messaging that it provides me like being able to use it on wifi when I have 0 connectivity. I prefer typing out messages through the browser if I am at home because my stupid fingers have problems with hitting the wrong button on touch screen keyboards. Sorry for sounding like an advertisement for GV, lol. Nobody has my real sprint number... I use the GV number so I have extremely easy portability between providers when I decide to move. No mass messages to people with my new number that they might glance over.
Anyway, Hopefully other people have success with what I tried here.
Another thing I am wondering because of people saying they had different settings input. I should have mentioned in the OP that I am currently on TPR 3.12. Are the people who have a different option on a different rom?
