Hello,
I am new to the Samsung Galaxy S3. I love the phone but I am curious as to if I can have two calls simultaneously and be able to swap between them. I know that if I make a call and someone calls me then I can swap between both calls but if I make a call and try to make a 2nd call then I can only 'merge'.
Is this possible even if it's via a rooted solution? I have the Sprint version of Samsung Galaxy SIII currently unrooted.
Thanks in advance.
You might be able to on cm10

I think its a CDMA thing. CDMA wont let u swap calls like that, atleast Sprint Cdma wont. GSM networks will let u do that though. I dont know about CM10, I never tried.

This isn't true. I switched from iPhone 4s on sprint and was able to swap back and forth between calls. I think it is an android or Samsung issue. Pretty frustrating as this is such a basic feature.

I was trying to find a way to use mobile data during a call. I know iphone can do it (gsm) and my brothers crickett android can do it(cdma). So I was wondering if there was a hack that lets our super awesome evos do it. I know you can do it on 4g but what about 3g.
Wifi will work in a call, but not 3g. I haven't tried 4g, but suspect it may since it runs on a different freq.

4g does work at same time as a call.
Thanks guys for the replies. I knew this much, but I was wondering if there was a work around or a hack to enable in call data access. I first thought it wasn't possible because of the technology, but then like i said, it can be done on CDMA because my brother's cricket android does it. ( I had thought maybe only GSM could do it). I hope someone can either confirm that it is absolutely impossible or find a way to make it happen! Lets go guys, I know you can do it!

It is only possible with certain hardware, on a different version of evdo. I don't remember the revision though. But no, it currently isn't possible on sprint. Sorry

Regarding Cricket, he must be on WiFi if he can use data during a call. Currently deployed versions of CDMA don't support simultaneous voice and data, and I'm 99.99999% sure Cricket is no exception.

Your Bro is blowing smoke up your ass because it is not possible on CDMA. That is wone of its biggest limitations and is AT&Ts number 1 advertising propaganda against Verizon and Sprint.

No, your brother is retarded and using WiFi, or calling over VoIP. Verizon's Thunderbolt is the only CDMA phone to date which can do 3G data and voice calls at the same time (which I haven't investigated to be because VZW actually pushed out a hardware upgrade to their network, or because the Thunderbolt is going to be doing voice as VoIP, or just has multiple radios... Or something).[/thread]
I have the nexus,obviously, and would like to know if I can use the Verizon version on a different network

Nope. CDMA phones are locked and there's no good way to unlock them.

Nope. If you buy the Verizon one you're stuck. Theres a small glimmer of hope that you could reflash it to another regional CDMA carrier, but even that's a long-shot.

short answer, no
long answer, yes
Anything can be done with enough will power. But practically speaking, no you cant.
I know a guy who got his CDMA EVO 3D working on ATT's GSM network. And I flashed my Sprint only EVO 3D to connect to Verizon. So yes these things are possible, but I wouldnt bother if I were you. If you want to use your VZW Nexus on a GSM network, then why didnt you just get a contract and GSM phone on whichever Network you wanted? If you want to flash to Sprint, Why? Verizon is much better, I just came from Sprint so believe me when I say Sprint has some ****ty service right now. Too many upgrades going on.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Nexus (LTE version, not GSM version) running Android 4.0.4.
I want to turn off the CDMA radio when I'm at home, as CDMA sucks and LTE doesn't. I have a weak LTE signal at the house, but it is in every way still superior to CDMA.
I don't care if it turns off my voice calls, I want a way to be able to turn off CDMA. CDMA sucks. I can use GrooveIP for voice calls.
Did I mention the phone is rooted? I don't mind going into adb shell and tweaking the snot out of things, but I have no clue what to change.
I think you can't.

I don't believe that for a second. The phone was originally part of AOSP. I have a copy of the source for 4.0.3. There has got to be a way to turn off CDMA.
CDMA blows.
Basically you can put it in airplane mode or deal with it.

Sadly, not believing something, doesn't make it any less true.
Basically this was only doable with the tbolt because it had a strange radio

From my understanding, CDMA is unremovable or unable to be turned off as that is the base radio the unit uses and the LTE radio is a secondary radio.
Sadly, until we get into 5G or whatever they will call it and then LTE becomes the standard radio, you're stuck the way it is.
If it were possible to disable CDMA, it would have been worked into ROMS, and the like ages ago.

One time I turned cdma off on the Sprint version tho but I pressed *#*#4636#*#* and under preferred network I had an option for lte only but it was on a certain rom n I can't remember which one because it was the first time I seen that option but I hope that helps

The last time i tried the settings don't stick.
I currently own a note 2 L900 sprint version flashed over to boost mobile. Right now I have it on ebay. I want to get one I can use with straight talk or other gsm providers. I hear it's easy to get the ATT version on straight talk. I also hear the Verizon version can be flashed over to straight talk but idk why if it was unlocked the apn couldn't be added to use straight talk. If anyone can clarify that please let me know. Also I see different versions for Verizon and different versions for ATT. Please help me in deciding the perfect note 2 for me! Thank you all very much for viewing and any input I may get on this. Also being able to go back to boost mobile might be a plus. Where I go Verizon is the best signal but I'm all done with paying such a high bill and only getting squat for data. Also I would like to add Sprint service sux!
ok, from what I gather the sprint/verizon phones can be used and run on verizon signal. Att and tmobile run on ATT. Anyone know if there's any phones that can be programmed to accept both signals. that would be fantastic. CDMA vs GSM would be the stopper but what about the 4s and it being CDMA and GSM?

you will never find a phone in the usa that will run both cdma and gsm. unless you came from the future 0.o

this is so wrong that its not even funny. ever heard of the touch pro 2? a world phone with pentaband radios and a gsm sim card slot that runs cdma on sprint.
the moto photon was also a world phone as well as many blackberrys.

I can't find any information on this, perhaps it's such a stupid question that no one has bothered asking...
Anyway, does anyone know if I can pull my AT&T sim card from my galaxy S2 skyrocket, put it into a nexus 7, and use data over the LTE network?
I'm aware that I won't be able to get texts or make phone calls as simply as I can with my phone... but I'm tired of talking to people anyway.
Probably not. I think data only Sims are a bit different and work in tabs only.
