Hi everyone
While calling can't use internet in mobile ..
When i use 3g or 4g network then i am able to use internet while calling
But when i use 2g network with gsm setting . i can't use Internet while call
Reply with solution guys thanks .
There is no solution. 2g doesn't support simultaneous voice and data. It is just a limit in the tech. Nothing you can do.

I dug up some info here
EDGE (and GPRS) are capable of supporting simultaneous voice and data ONLY if it is a Class C device.
Most phones these days are Class B (such as iPhone).
Class B support voice calls while in data mode (data disconnects when a call comes in) and data is "attached" while the phone is idle. Some Class B devices are configured so that the data takes priority (iPhone). Thus an iPhone will not take a call when an active edge data transfer is ongoing..it goes to voicemail.
Class A devices are either in data mode or voice mode (but never both).
The priority of voice vs data is set by the carrier, so perhaps what you describe is that you have a Class C device and some towers are configured differently from others.
Don't forget too that sometimes things like web pages are cached on the device, so what 'looks like' data transfer is just loading from cache, or things like updating an email inbox happens a long time after the actual email data has been transferred to the device.

I have a Siemens SX56 using AT&T Wireless as a carrier.
The phone is running the following:
ROM Verison: 3.14.03 ENG
ROM Date: 09/27/02
Radio Version: 6.12
Protocol Version: 324e4
My question is:
I would like to connect to a traditional ISP. I have talked to AT&T and they said when I go to the internet, I have to connect using their GPRS network. They said that if I used another ISP I would not have to pay them to use the internet. DUH! this is what I want to do. Any advice would be appreciated...
Thanks!!!
Bob
You can connect to the Internet using GPRS. This, in essence, would make AT&T your Internet Provider. You can choose to get your mail at your existing provider (but you must use AT&T's server for outbound mail). Other than that, your 'normal' ISP has nothing to do with you once you connect through AT&T using GPRS.
You could, theoretically, also connect using the GSM as an ordinary modem, by dialing your old ISP, making what's called a 'GSM data call'. This would however limit throughput to roughly 9600 bps, and it would not have the nice 'always on' property of GPRS. It would be cheaper per bit (in most cases) for large downloads though. Go figure.
i want to make a gsm data call
I do want to make a GSM data call. at&t charges an arm and a leg for data access, that usimg my regular ISP even at 9600 baud would be great.
when I try to set up anything other than GPRS, it says "there is no answer". I called siemens and the said at&t disabled anything other than GPRS.
what I want to know is can I enable that ability which I know the phone can do?
Thanks
Bob
GSM data calls can be made from most phones, but AT&T may have disabled this call type for anyone but those paying for a 'data subscription'. With most providers a data subscription just means you get a seperate phone number in order to be able to receive incoming calls from analogue modems.
GSM providers are weird. For instance O2 in The Netherlands blocks fax calls for some unknown reason, but passes GSM data calls.
I must not be clear...
OK... I must not be clear, so I will try to be more clear in my question.
First a little background:
I have AT&T wireless with a data subscription. My current subscription is for 8 Megabytes per month. I would like to use the web, but with only an 8 Megabyte limit (which is AT&T's highest data level subscription that you can buy) I can not do much on the Internet.
I know that a GSM data call is slower. I know that it is not always on like GPRS. Because of the data limit of my current AT&T data subscription I want to make a data call from my phone to my ISP.
I have setup a ISP connection profile in the connections area on the phone. When I dial the ISP the phone responds with a message that says "the number you dialed is not answering" this is a text based message, not a voice message. I know the phone is answering because I can call it from my home pc or just dial it from the cell phone and it answers. I was told by siemens that AT&T turned the GSM Data portion of the phone off. I am hoping they turned it off with software and its a setting or something I can change in the registry to enable it again.
So in summary:
I do pay for a GPRS data subscription ($25.00 for 8 Megabytes / month)
I would really like to also use GSM data as an option for getting to the Internet when I do not want to use up my 8 Megabyte limit on GPRS.
I really have appreciated your comments and your help. I hope I am being more clear in my question now.
Thanks,
Bob
I'll try to be more clear as well then...
Try calling your provider and see whether they support GSM data calls from 'normal' subscriptions. And with normal subscription, I'm not talking about whether or not the subscription has GPRS, but I mean any subscription that doesn't get you a special phone number for incoming data calls.
There's plenty of providers that do not provide normal data calls, even to subscribers that pay extra to get GPRS. Most of this practice did end when WAP was believed to become big, but some may have limited data calls to their own WAP access numbers.
Should your provider still offer separate numbers for analogue and ISDN, try calling both types to see what happens, and do play around with both call types (analogue & ISDN) from your XDA. (Under 'Settings' / 'Connections' / 'CSD Line Type' in modern ROMs)
Good Luck...
Similar issues
I am trying to do the same thing with my 02 XDA, and i get the same message saying it is not answering. However, i can dial my ISP using a GSM connection, as i have done this using my nokia 7650 connected via IRDA to my PC, and useing it as a modem. However i cannot get the same connection to work using my XDA. Very strange, so if anyone can help.
[Q] How do I use my Vibrant for gps and wifi while avoiding roaming related charges when in Canada or another country?
[A] this is the question I asked support at t-mobile. I got 2 answers, neither were completely correct. The problem is that you cannot block IMs and phone calls from reaching your mobile unless you go into airplane mode. (Note that you will receive charges for IMs and for calls you do not pick up as long as they register on your phone. This is what I was told by one rep. Other reo said that I should not be able to receive these since my account was not set up for international services, but as msgs and calls came in, I got worried.)
The short of it is this: for $20, I bought CoPilot off the android market and downloaded the North America maps. This app does not require data connection, and it works remarkably well. I then put the phone into air plane mode. After doing this, I enabled gps and wifi. This allowed me block all direct calls and IMs while retaining the ability the ability to use the phone for gps and for browsing when there was an available wifi network. (having a google voice account actual enabled me to send IMs when connected to a wifi network.)
It all worked so well, I am further considering dropping my data plan altogether since the places I typically use the internet are places with wifi (though perhaps I will wait until the 2.2 update is pushed.)

In terms of GPS, you are correct, you would have to purchase a third party GPS app for that (since google maps doesn't cache. Well it does, but if you find yourself lost after choosing a route and don't have wifi available then you are forced to turn on data so it can redownload your route, since it only caches your route and nearby streets.) To block incoming phone calls you just set up unconditional call forwarding (**21*18056377243# send) which will forward all of your calls to VoiceMail. The 1805 number can be replaced with your VM provider of choice (ie Google voice.) To undo, just dial ##21# and send. After that just disable data roaming and you are good.
In terms of stopping IM/SMS/MMS, just have care add message blocking (or better yet, go to your tmobile account and add it from there) its a free service that blocks all incoming or outgoing sms/mms/email as sms/IM. Sometimes the reps will just add the sms/mms block so you might want to add it yourself from the site.
Also if you purchased the vibrant on a contract then you can't remove your data.

Or if you want to keep the FULL functionality of your phone while traveling internationally you could buy a prepaid SIM for a carrier in the country you're visiting.

this ^^
If you did not want to get a SIM, you could just take your t-mo sim out. This way you could still use wifi, then use Google voice for texts and VM.
Wanting to buy the Gear S but without a monthly paid subscription from a carrier (because they oblige me to sign the contract for 2 years, and i know I am not going to keep the Gear S that much time) , but i want to know what options should i request for the pre-paid SIM.
More internet or more voice minutes or more SMS?
the transfer from phone to watch (when not connected through BT) is made through data transfer or through voice? the paid subscription does not specify that.
nobody knows what type of communication the watch uses, except BT?

Your questions are a little confusing.
If your watch it connect to bluetooth on phone then everything uses phone. Data voice everything. If its not. Connected to phone it can use wifi or mobile data

i do not understand your answer.
ok, than let me rephrase.
if the watch is not connected to the phone through BT (due to the fact that the phone is away from the watch), how the notifications are sent from phone to watch? through data transfer or through voice transfer?
the pre-pay SIM used in watch allow me to choose between 1gb of data transfer or 1000 voice minutes per month.

When you place phone calls it will use minutes. When you use internet for browsing or syncing remotely or dowloading it will use data. Trade off is personal choice. Personally i would go with minutes since i have a sim for emergency only. However i went with a payg that gives me a little of both.

Unless the two devices are on the same carrier you'll be using all 3.. Minutes, sms and data. The gear doesn't use much data but u can get all 3 pretty cheap on prepaid

out of curiosity, what does being on the same carrier have to do with anything?

Well if you already have a plan with them you can just add the gear for $5-$10 a month without a contract. And some carriers have unlimited calling/sms between prepaid & postpaid accounts which would give you unlimited forwarding. The data part is trickier but I'm on an at&t account with the watch and it has used under 50mb in almost 30 days.
my devices will be on the same carrier. i will chose the option for unlimited minutes and SMS and use wifi and phone data transfer..
Some European providers offer another ( a 2nd) SIM card associated to the primary subscription for use only with internet. It means a second SIM to use for data transfer.
will that be helpful for the Gear S or just add another SIM with another number to use with voice?
when not connected through BT to the phone, but is connected wireless, what type of connection does the watch use? data or voice?

It's better to have the voice and data because it will have a number anyway so why not but if you don't care to forward your calls to the watch or don't plan to use the watch standalone number then by all means data only if the data plan is right for you ie unlimited or more than 200MB per month
I was trying to maximize the use of the data plan we have. Say, SIM1 is with provider A and SIM2 is provider B.
Both has data plan - say, SIM1 with 20 GB data monthly and SIM2 is unlimited data but on 4Mbps speed.
So, I'd like to maximize both - say, if remote site is Youtube or Facebook, use SIM2 (as 4Mbps speed). All other use SIM1.
I had been searching but to no available. Is there such a thing?
Thank you.
BTW, current phone is Huawei and not root.
Note: The phone is capable of dual 4G, both SIM connects to 4G at the same time and both already runs VoLTE connection so they should be fine. Huawei has Dual-Sim Default 4G selector only which means it goes *either* on SIM1 or SIM2.
With the above assumption, the only missing is the 'router' part within Android. This which redirect traffic based on destination server IP - similar to a home router with multi-link capability.
Which, in turn, if there is such a thing, it maybe much much benefits that you can configure to Prefer youtube on WIFI connection, facebook on SIM1 and the rest on SIM2
