I use grooveip/google voice for voice calls these days and have no use for the regular voice/SMS on my phone. is there a way to turn them off but keep 3G and 4G on?

Is there away to set the data connection to NOT connect while I am on a voice call?
Every so often ill be on a phone call with a client and suddenly my data connection activates.. probably from active sync... and it drops my voice calls.
Will I have this issue if I switch to HSPA on bells new network?
has no one else experienced this?
you need a GSM phone.
CDMA is ballz.
i hate bell.
so is there not away to set the phone not to connect while its on a voice call?
Will HSPA suffer from the same thing?
None of the roms I have used allow data to disconnect voice, but works other way around.
What rom are you using?
when i switch my signal from LTEmode, CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto to EvDo, or CDMA only mode in the tool kit i can make outgoing calls but cannot receive incoming calls, it goes straight to voice mail. But i do get a good 3G connection when on CDMAonly mode and can still connect to the internet.
Are you using giggle voice?

Does a PRL affect this option? When I'm roaming, I can't make calls, but receive them fine.
Figured this out. If you can't make any voice calls while roaming, a simple solution would be to just turn off Mobile Network. You'll lose 3G connectivity, but gain the ability to make voice calls.
ok so i tied my number to google voice because my phone doesn't get signal in 90% of my workplace (it has wifi though) and the cell signal by my house is pretty low so all calls sound like crap. so what i was hoping to do was be able to place calls and texts from my sprint number through google voice. if i go into the settings of the google voice app i set it so the google voice app gives me notifications when i receive texts and i am able to use it to text and receive texts as long as i have a data connection (wifi most of the time) now the problem with this is that if i don't have a cell signal and am connected to only wifi, calls dont come through at all like i would expect them to..
before i did the integration i was able to place calls over wifi but it would display my google voice number to the people i was calling but now that i did the integration i cant make or receive calls over wifi? if anyone knows how to enable that it would help a lot, if it can even be done that is...
on a side note, i experimented with it using my house phone and noticed that if i have no signal and am only on the wifi, the people who are calling me (in this case me calling my cell phone from my house) still hear a ringing tone and after about 30 seconds get my voicemail. so what the heck. you would think if its ringing that i would get calls over the wifi but apparently not...?

I'm about to make the jump to the T-mobile $30 prepaid plan. Only 100 min/mo of voice, so the plan was to use my google voice over wifi/data for all outgoing calls, and hopefully be able to get incoming calls the same way. I'm guessing the answer is no, but is there any way to get real time incoming calls without having an active data (either wifi or mobile data) connection? In other words, is there any way for the phone to wake up only for those calls?
I've managed to tune my phone (Galaxy S4 with goldfinger ROM) so that I'm only using 0.4%/hour battery at idle. Using 2G constantly drops me to >2%/hour, and wifi is around 1.2-1.5%/hour. Not horrible, but significant over the course of the day.
If there's no other way, I'm thinking I'll just have the data turn on at intervals to check for push messages if I'm somewhere where I won't be able to get to a charger. Again, no deal breaker here, but I'm a bit of a battery nerd...
