I am traveling and am in an area with fantastic 4G coverage. The other day I was on the phone doing an conference call and had my phone tethered to my laptop. As soon as my call connected I last all internet coverage as far as the tethering is concerned. As soon as my call ended my data kicked back in. What gives? It used to work, why does it not anymore?
Sounds like some dirty ploy on VZW 's end to restrict tethering.

You know this is a good point. I am using the widget bypass and with the recent update for the phone you get prompted about a subscription error. As I'm sure you already know you just simply hit the home button and it still stays connected and works fine. I swear I was talking to my Wife a couple days ago and it was working, to my best knowledge this just started not working as 2-3 days ago. Anyone else experience this?

Just made a quick call to 611 and let the prompting stay connected in the back ground. I then tried surfing on the phone and it worked fine, so I then tried on the laptop tethered and it seemed to work. Maybe a glitch, or maybe they are going after tethering... Hmm
Maybe its just conference calls you cant tether with.

Conference call that I was on at this time was called into one phone listening to others in the same room over speaker. I don't think this is the case.
Been on the phone for a half hour and it's working perfect. Weird!
Necro-thread! But, I realized the other day that I am having the same issue as the OP. I used to be able to continue surfing over my 4G hotspot while also talking on the phone. Somewhere along the way, the capability has stopped working. I have Unlimited Data and use FoxFi to enable tethering. And, like I said, this used to work. I've had my S4 since May, 2013, but I'm not sure when, during all that time, it stopped.
It really come to the fore today because a friend told me about Verizon Advanced Calling and I logged into my account to enable that. I noticed two things. One, the S4 is not a "compatible device", even though Samsung says the phone supports VoLTE. And, two, one of the features that VZW touts for Adanced Calling is being able to do simultaneous voice and data over 4G LTE.
This is all starting to make me think my simultaneous voice and data went away at some point when Verizon turned off the capability via a phone firmware update or something. Because, of course, they want me to buy a new phone - ideally while also giving up Unlimited Data.
That also makes me thing I might be able to "fix" my phone using SS and a ROM and maybe an Xposed module. But anyway....
Can anybody shed any light on this? I don't do it that often (talk on the phone while I'm tethered), but when I do want to do it, it dang sure sucks that it doesn't work any more!

Okay, now I really don't know what the deal is. I just tested it, sitting in my office. and, today, it's working. I have a strong 4G signal here. I called my desk phone and answered and set the handset down. I turned on FoxFi, then connected to my hotspot with my tablet. While the voice call was still connected, I had no trouble running SpeedTest on my tablet and getting 40 Mbps download.
Hmmm.... Maybe not working the other day is some other problem with my phone....
Okay, never mind...

Any other Rezound owners with Mobile Hot Spot seeing 4G dropping out fairly often? I almost never lose 4G LTE signal anywhere in my city, but when I have MHS on, it drops out fairly often.
Just noticed this today in Chicago while using hot spot in airport. I think I'm going to call Verizon about it.

I just called and got transferred almost immediately to level 2 tech support. They checked to make sure everything was configured properly on their end of the network before asking me to go to Manage Applications and clearing data in the Mobile Hotspot app.
I'll see how that goes. Next step they said would be Factory Reset, and then possibly switch out the phone.
The thing is, neither of these might fix it. It could be an issue in the software that requires an update. So if any of you have Mobile Hotspot, pay close attention to see if the 4G LTE connection drops out periodically while using MHS, and if so - dial *611 and complain.
Squeaky Wheel gets the oil!
So that didn't fix it. I so very reluctantly am going to try a Factory Reset. I can't stand the idea of having re-download all my apps and set up GO Launcher again, but this is infuriating.

Yeah I'm going to do the Factory Reset tonight and report back.
Even if I keep the MHS for $30/mo to help ensure unlimited data and no red flags, once we have S-OFF, I definitely might switch to another tethering application if it runs smoother.

I had my laptop tethered one night just checking it out and it was dropping off but I thought it had to do with the screen going to sleep. Does LTE stay on while phone screen is asleep? I know that putting the phone in "sleep mode" is supposed to turn it off during the set hours which makes me think that it's not supposed to happen in the normal course of the day when the screen turns off.
I'm looking into cutting off my dsl if the 4g suffices for my internet connection at home.
I'm traveling for work and there is no 4g signal where I'm at and I had no problem with 3g tethering. No drop outs.

Forgive me if this is only peripheral to your topic.
I can't prove this but I believe mobile hotspot is throttled. If you want to see for yourself, try this. Using mobile hotspot, see if you can stream a 1080 p video from youtube on your laptop. Chances are, it will have to stop to buffer every 30 seconds or so. Now download and install easy tether. Now, open 4 you tube windows with 1080 p videos on each 1 and a run em all at the same time.
The difference is freaking amazing. With wired tether this phone will run FOUR videos in high definition simultaneously. That is true 4 g speeds.
By the way running the speed test app I can pull about 26 down and 18 up. So I'm pretty damn sure mobile hotspot is seriously throttled back. Verizon claims wireless hotspot is 4 g, but I smell fish.

Interesting. When the Youtube buffers every 30 seconds or so, watch the 4G LTE signal. Does it disappear at all? Don't glance away for even a moment! It goes away and comes back quickly.

False alarm. =\ 4G started dropping out again after a while. Especially when clicking from Amazon Instant Video to Netflix and back on my Roku player. They did recommend trying 3G, so I'll try that before bringing the phone in for an exchange. Not excited about forcing them to manufacture another phone, but we need to press this issue, if it is indeed either a software issue or hardware issue. The WiFi and LTE Rx anetenna are right next to each other so that is suspicious!
Anyone else having this issue needs to start calling Verizon! The Tech Rep said he saw no record of this complaint for the Rezound in the system. So they are assuming it is just me.

Easy teether is for wired USB internet. Mobile hot spot is for wireless connections. I would highly recommend easytether , it works flawlessly with no problems whatsoever. Here are screen caps of the problem that everyone is having. Verizon is blaming HTC for it saying they don't show any problems on their side. Funny however, my Thunderbolt did it, my Droid Charge at times used to do it and now the Resound. I'm suspecting it has something to do with the app. I did a factory reset, trade sim cards, two tickets for the engineer coming back with no problems, a call from HtC saying phone was defective, a new Rezound with a new sim card and STILL it looses connection.

So... using a usb tether are you using your data plan and not your mhs plan?
And in order to have phone on charger and usb tethered you'd need a splitter then, would this affect the data rate if there is charging going on? Any reason why this can't be done? Trying to figure out how to use my unlimited mhs in place of my dsl and drop dsl. As long as it's reliable and they don't kill my connection with throttling I might do it.

If you have unlimited MHS, then you should have already gotten in on the unlimited data glitch. No splitter. Wired tethering uses data. Phone charges while (wired) tethering. You'll get FAR faster speeds too. (But you can bet they know you're doing it.)
I have noticed when using the MHS to connect to my epic 4g touch that if I leave my rezound ON, I wont lose the connection. But as soon as I turn the screen off the rezound, itll lose connection...

Makes no difference on mine, would lose connection any way.
Anyways, great news (sort of). HTC contacted me today and told me they are looking into it since they've been getting calls about this issue. Looks like it is a big problem. They will call me back from 48 hrs up to 10 business days. Glad to see this is getting recognized! Lets keep pressuring VZW/HTC on getting this issue resolved.
Over the past 3 days I haven't been able to make/receive phone calls/texts while I'm in my neighborhood (which normally I get great service on 3g/4g). Literally everywhere else my phone works perfectly. I called sprint and they said to take the phone to a store, which I did, and the store replaced it. After work when on my way home I made call just to test if that fixed the issue and it didn't, still not able to make phone calls/text messages in my neighborhood but data still works. Also we have 4 other phones on sprint none of which are lte devices and all are working perfectly which makes me think something in the tower is messed up or they're upgrading something but if I'm not mistaken sprint's voice/texts go through their 1x network. I'm confused, called sprint again and they're sending me that airwave(I don't know if that's what its called) for free. I hope this will fix it but does anybody know what it could be/if anyone else has experienced this? Maybe someone from sprint who's on here could enlighten me as to what's going on?
Thanks,

When you say great 3g/4g, you mean wimax? No lte out. I get bad reception in my house and a few other areas, but so do all sprint phones. Weird that it's just affecting you.
Also, I've heard many people say sprint is giving them a free airrave, but then still get a monthly charge for that. Maybe it's changed but double check that.
Sent from my LTEvo
Yea I meant wimax when I had the galaxy s2...and yea I'll definitely keep an eye out for that...I asked the person on the phone 3 different times if there would be anything added to my monthly bill or a one time fee and she said no b/c I didn't even request for one, I was simply just trying to find out if something was going on with the tower since we narrowed it down to the 1x network which wasn't working on my phone at the tower I was connected to...and randomly I get transferred and she says we will be sending you one...so I definitely didn't say no

Did you recently use the google voice integration? I did early on when they offered it and it borked my calling and texts but not data. It carried over from phone to phone, blackberry and two different android phones, as it is an issue with the line. If so disable the gv intergration and call Customer service until you get a tech that understands that gv may have borked it and resets the line with the network. It took me nearly a month to get mine fixed (in store, online,and by phone repeatedly) and when I finally got a hold of someone who understood my problem it was fixed in 10 minutes.

Were you not able to call at all anywhere? Because the Only time this happens for me is when I'm in my neighborhood/house Even though I still have the 3g symbol up and 4 out of 5 bars. And this started 3 days ago now, and I have had google voice integrated since before I had the evo 4g lte.

Well it's an odd issue but mine was a progressive failure. Initially I lost receiving texts, then a few days later receiving calls, days later sending texts and shortly thereafter calling out. I never lost data and always had signal when I was trying to use it and I initially thought it was the tower I was near. I came home that summer from school (~150mi away) and instantly knew it wasn't the tower. So if it is the GV thing it may get worse for you.
I'm the only person who seems to have had this particular problem before that I'm aware of and at the time no one could tell me what was going on. So if anything this may be a "check it off the list" just to make sure it isn't your problem as well.

How long have you had the GV integration? My particular issue wasn't immediately after the attempt but ~3-5 days after it. It may be worth a shot though to see if it solves it.

You said it, you and I both!! I don't know if it's just me or my area, but Verizon's 4G has gotten worse than it has ever been! I don't know whether it is a lack of optimization on the towers not having any back haul capabilities and getting congested? Or if the last 4 phones I've had in the past two months all just sucked, including a GS4, LG G2, and two Note 3's, I'm betting Verizon is just starting to suck plain and simple! I barely get above 2-3 Mbps, and that's if I'm lucky, otherwise my speeds are generally under 1 Mbps, yes 3G speeds! I feel like I'm on Sprint all over again. May be time to switch to T-Mobile!!

Just got my GN3 4 days ago, and am apparently one of the lucky ones. Great battery life, everything just works. Also works perfectly with my Blueant S4 Visor unit, so that S-Voice handles everything perfectly, enabling completely handsfree operation for calls, texts, etc.
My question here is how would I go back to what I have now, should I decide to take the update, and it breaks something that is currently working fine now. That wouldn't be the first time an update broke something.
I have no need for root, so that is not a concern for me.

Thanks

I'm having the same issues in Baltimore MD. I checked two devices and no service must be Verizon outages. Thank god for WiFi!

Im near columbus ohio. But it is very weird bc I'm able to text while at work. When I get home I'll have 4g and texts will fail.... :banghead:
Same issue here in Central Nj for me. I just installed hyperdrive room so I don't know anymore if its because of that or something with verizon. I can make calls, send texts ext and see full bars but no network shown.
Sounds like tower issues

Idk how it could be towers when we are having probs while only at our house. We leave the house and everything works fine....
Very weird

Verizon confirmed an outage I experienced yesterday in Philly. I don't know if this might have been your problem.
Thanks for the post. But I think I'm still going to call Verizon again tonight just to be sure.
And this explains why I couldn't get through last night to them. I was on hold for 45 mins before I hung up.
I have a sprint HTC - One Max with current OTA - rooted of course - Kit Kat.
When I'm on calls it does not allow me to use my data on my wifi at all. I have always been able to
on my Galaxy 2 phone but not with this new HTC One Max.
I've tried using it with the mobile data turned off or on in settings.
Even though it shows wifi connectivity on status bar it still doesn't allow
for a page to load, speedtest to be done, zello to stay logged in, etc.
no one experiencing my duplex wifi while in call not working issue?
Is no one else having this problem ? I'm about to do a flash back to the stock ROM to see if wifi works simultaneously while in a call but if it's a fault in the programming / chipset then there's no point in me trying. Someone please reply so I don't waste my time doing something that someone else has tried.
Well I am on Verizon but sometimes my data works and sometimes it doesn't during a call. WiFi will stay connected and work fine.

Mine isn't working at all when I'm on the call, even when the wifi connectivity is on the status bar.. as soon as I disconnect calls my push to talk app/browser/etc start back working... Sometimes the wifi doesn't work at all on the phone even if I'm not on a call, but the S2 I have works like a charm with the same cradle point mbr1200/verizon data card that I've had for years. within 5 feet from the router too...
stock. non rooted, on sprint.
i was on the phone with my mom on moms day and was on wifi here at the house.
i was successfully able to use google voice to send and receive texts and also was surfing the web for a phone for my mom, so i have had good results with wifi calling.

I'm having issues with data also. I have the Verizon onemax. I started having this problem about 3 days ago. I have issues staying connected to 4g never used to have this problem. I live in a 4g area, when I turn off my device and wait about 10 secs then turn it back on then I get 4g for a brief period then it goes right back to 3g. Also I can't get any data when I make a phone call, that never ever happened before, I don't know why this is happining. I called Verizon and the rep told me to turn off my device then turn it back on the rep said that resets the "PRL" I TRIED THAT like I said awhile ago it worked....but only for a brief period. The Verizon rep "tech support" told me if that diddnt work that I may need to get a new SIM "which is on the way". This problem has happened on NuSense and on ViperRom, I wiped cach/dalvik/data&system and I'm still having this issue, I'm hopping the new SIM will fix this issue. Maybe we can get some help. I'm hopping because this is very annoying!

Problem diagnosed but not fixed
I have diagnosed my problem on simultaneous calling with data connection non existence even with wifi symbol on status bar...
The data on wifi works on calls if I'm not using a bluetooth device, meaning if I'm using the handset or the speaker phone it works fine, even if the headset stays connected to the phone, wifi still works as long as I'm not using the bluetooth for my call... kinda defeats purpose of having a smartphone if you can't use all features... backward thinking htc.

That sounds like a load of crap on the PRL note, which stands for preferred roaming list, aka while off verizon towers... network / data provisioning should fix the problem... which on sprint's is a quick ##72786# to get network provisioning to reset itself... Been doing that alot lately with the towers here getting the upgrade bugs. Had a nexus 5 phone in a power cycle loop when LTE was turned on in specific areas, had to put it in airplane mode quickly before it powered down, change settings to cdma, leaving it like that til the area was fixed. Only phone that had that problem that I know of. My HTC One Max kept losing tower connection randomly and I still have issues where certain towers won't put the call through to my phone. Which I've heard is an "on going" issue from sprint in certain "markets" LoL... (My guess is any of the newly upgraded towers with spark)

All I know is that when I put in my new SIM it seemed to fix my issue iv not had any problems staying connected to 4g. I figured the Verizon REP was full of B.S.

I created a new thread for this issue with a poll to help htc see if it's a wide spread issue. Will let them know the link tomorrow when I talk to their higher tier techs.
