I'm using the last Fresh Rom and I have found that I can't talk and go online at the same time. Anybody else having this problem?

Is it necessary to be rude when someone asks a question? You may find the question silly, but some people actually do not know all these things. Reading through thousands of posts to find the answers can become very time consuming, and like looking for a needle in a haystack if one is new to the XDA world.
Perhaps try answering the question nicely, offering some advice, and then moving on in a pleasant manner. Just a thought.
how 'bout this.
it's not a problem or a bug, but rather the way sprint set up the network. you can browse and talk on 4g or wifi but not evdo. the only cdma phone that can do that is the thunderbolt and VZW aren't even advertising it as a feature. GSM phones can, just not cdma. hell the cdma iPhone 4 can't do it either.

How long have you had Sprint homie?
Thanks for the info. But I think it sucks that I have to use 4g when before I didn't. I don't call that a feature.

what do you mean before you didn't have to use 4g? before you signed a contract with a cdma carrier or before you flashed fresh rom on your evo?

If you could talk and surf the web at the same time on 3G then you are the only one, EVER.
It is not possible on Sprint's network to do that without being in a 4g area.
... there are some rude people on here ... let me give you the 411 on this subject to avoid further confusion ...
CDMA Networks:
Sprint
Verizon
Metro
some other ones...
GSM Networks:
ATT
T-mobile
so on and on...
CDMA = 1 Radio for both voice and data
GSM = 2 Radios, 1 for voice the other data
so that being said, there is a physical impossibility (not improbability) that you were ever able to browse the web and talk at the same time using any CDMAonly phone for both unless you did any of the folowing:
1. VOiP service where your voice is data, in which case you are only using DATA and not VOICE
2. you had a global phone in which case you used both, CDMA for voice and GSM for data or vice-versa
3. used WIFI or 4g for data and CDMA for voice
4. a device that has 2 CDMA radios
Definitely something I missed from AT&T..

Not to instigate an argument, but last I heard, GSM could do voice and data simultaneously not because it has multiple radios, but that's just how the network works as a feature of GPRS.

That's correct; GSM phones [AT&T as an example] use a different radio for 3G and voice. CDMA [sprint, verizon] use the same radio for data and voice. You can surf and talk if you are using wifi or 4G though.
Because Sprint sucks. :-D. and CDMA sucks too. :-D There are A BUNCH OF limitations on CDMA. Wonder if anyone has a link to all the limitations of it. then also compares GSM and other american based networks. :-D

You can do the following:
Install grove Ip, set it to use 3g/4g enter ur google voice info, and make phone calls over data, then u can surf and talk same time. Now if u get a real phone call ur call will drop though, unless u set ur phone to ignore calls while using data.
It amazes me what peoplbash on somethinge
They know nothing about. gsm sucks so bad they had to come up with different technology just to get 3g speeds... Which is why they can surf and talk at same time gsm for talk. And a completely different technology for data

Cant we use 4g while talking on the phone? Its a different antenna for both.
3g uses the same antenna as phone calls and can not share the antenna at the same time.
How many times have you made a phone call and needed to surf the internet?
Lol all the time I'm not sure how wimax works with cdma but i kno u can with lte
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
so can the photon 4g be able to be on the phone and internet in the same time?
If you are on 4g you can browse and make a call at the same time. When I am on 4g I can actually be on the phone while I run WIFI tether to 2 laptops.
If you can actually connect to 4g, service sucks here in Metro Atlanta.
Well thanks for the responses guys. That's all I wanted to know

One other senerio. This was great when we had t mobile.
Talking to the wife who was ay the home depot. Snap a picture of the bulbs I needed for her lamp. Mms it to her and confirm she has them without hanging up the phone.
sent from my evo probably at work, probably on the clock.
So I've been playing around with some settings and after i changed my hdr/1x settings from Hybrid mode to Evdo mode I'm getting 1mps down as opposed to 0.10mbps on Hybrid mode. When on Hybrid speedtest app shows my connection as EvdoA, but in Evdo mode it shows Evdo0 and my speeds are pretty decent. Only catch is i can't send text messages. I understand Evdo mode = 3g, Cdma mode = 2g/1xrtt, and Hybrid = both working together. So is this a sign that maybe our bad speeds can also be from Hybrid mode not playing nice? If it weren't for me not being able to send text messages (mms messages work fine for some reason) i would force it to do strictly 3g..
Edit: Added two screenshots. 1st one on evdo mode and the 2nd on hybrid mode. All my test were back to back and performed the same. I find this strange. Well i just wanted to share my discovery lol...

RayTrue04, looks like we reside in the same area. Would be nice to see better 3G speeds in Hartford. I used to have a crappy LG Optimus T on T-mobile, and I got 2Mbps down. Then I switched to Sprint and the E4GT expecting to see better speeds, and Sprint's "4G" can't even compete with T-mobile's 3G speeds. I do love my E4GT though.
God bless ya Ray. If it wasn't for wifi at home and work I would be tinkering just like you.

Ever since the first Evo sprints speeds have become crap. And it's only getting worse with every new phone they release. Wimax is not so bad where I'm at but it don't penetrate some buildings well. I'm lucky I get 3 bars at home n my speeds top out at 10-12mbps.

If u read my original post thoroughly you'll see that i mentioned switching ur HDR/1x Selection from hybrid mode to evdo mode you get the evdo0. Cdma mode = 1xRtt (2g), Evdo mode = evdo0 (3g), hybrid mode = both working together and thats when it turns to evdoA..

I generally stick with PRL 01115, which grants 3G roaming in most areas, paired with Roam Control to force roaming if I absolutely need it.
Has there been a fix released for the super slow downloading of torrents? Yesterday I couldn't even get them to start downloading unless I went onto wifi yet my brother on his note 2 was downloading them at nearly 1 meg a second. It's ridiculous that the phone throttles torrents ! :banghead:

i use Kickass Torrents and have no problems im getting 400+Kb/s.
This is what I did to fix the problem, which annoyed me to no end. Just create an apn identical to the preloaded one. In the apn block change fast.t-mobile.com to the old epc.tmobile.com. download speeds will return. In my area I have crappy lte, so I turned it off and use the wcdma/gsm network mode and I still get high download speeds

not necessary to do that. if you have "4G" and know you get good speeds just go into settings and change it to WCDMA only. and change apn to IPV4.
As i currently am downloading at 1.1Mb/s

how about lte only through service mode (*#2263#) choose LTE band Pref. chose B4 and key input 1. so that'll just only use LTE and choose ipv4 versus 6 and see what happens? what torrent app are you using. like i said i use Kickass which allows you to search/download them all in one app. i just was able to complete 4GB in roughly an hour with only "4G" and it was going from 400Kb/s-1.2Mb/s.
since when is talking about pirating allowed here?

Did you try the epc.tmobile.com apn with the apn protocol set to ipv4? You can still pickup lte on that apn, I just need someone else to help test this theory out.

Not all torrents are pirating so... i or him didn't mention pirating a game or program. We just said torrents.
For instance I download pc magazines. And if you think that's pirating then apparently going to Barnes and Noble sitting down and reading magazines, then putting them back must be also considered pirating.

It is implied. Also...kickasstorrents = not a freeware site. Do not talk to me like I a stupid dude.
It is quite rare to find people that use torrenting in a non pirating way. Annoying when people use loopholes to get passed the rules.

I will gladly cease talking about this inappropriate subject. But as a departing fact. A piracy topic that is all over xda though.. One in particular is free tethering (mobile hot spot) which uses exploits (loopholes) to use a carrier's paid service without their consent. Funny how no one points that out as piracy though

You're going to want to get into settings then under the connections tab hit more networks, than hit mobile networks, than choose selected apn. Lastly go down to apn protocol and choose ipv4.

It's only implied because you want to make that assumption. My company uses torrents to distribute massive amounts of photographic data we use to do analysis on and at times it's convenient to se it on my phone during a break or on a long train ride. Don't turn this into something it's not just because you want to get on a soap box.
