No Data and Voice simultaneously - Page 2

Well.........after seeing this thread I just tested out my TP2 (running SilenceROM_012) and I just used my voice and data at the same time!

@ first I called my voicemail and it worked, but thought I should call an actual person because I didn't know if calls to my voicemailcounted torwards it.....so I called my friend and told him what the deal was! He patiently waited for me and within a couple seconds I was online!

Don't know if it has to do with the custom rom or not but it surely does work for me! I even cleared out the cache in opera and did a soft reset before I called him and it still worked!

Hopefully there are some good Android roms out by the time this phone hits shelves because I'm pretty sure some chefs out there can manipulate the data and voice to do more than what its supposed to!

You cannot have data and voice at the same time over CDMA..it is a limitation of the specification(there is a revision that allows this but unlikely they will apply it). If you want to really test it start a huge file download then call. Also make sure its not using wifi for data.

It doesn't work..............my bad!

What I did at first was call my friend and than I got online and it worked after soft reseting and clearing the cache! One thing I didn't even think about.........................I had the phone hooked up to my PC! Maybe that had something to do with it?!

Sorry for the hype!

Yeh we figured it was the case cause thats like explaining how a person saw a pig fly lol..just the limitation of CDMA specs...there is a revision of CDMA that may allow this wit h minor if not a firmware update(on carrier's end) but I don't think they'll waste time to implement it

Yeah....sorry guys....but the funny thing is that when I hooked the phone back up to my PC it worked again! I only have it connected to the Windows Mobile Device Center, not through phone as modem or anything!

Another thing I noticed is if I have my phone connected to the PC and I try to update the weather it won't do it! (?)

Some weird stuff going on over here!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!

I believe when you connect to device center you get a data connection from the pc to the phone. that was a feature way back from the bad old days of pda's with no wifi

This is only upon release. Sprint doens't have an app to do it. They want the developers to come up for some amazing apps to utilize the hardware. Evo is no doubt capable of video conferencing. Wimax for data and CDMA for voice.

For example, an application developer might create an app that allows a customer to simultaneously watch a streaming sporting event while pulling down stats and conducting a video chat with a friend.

It would be nice to be able to use data and talk at the same time, but it is definitely not a deal breaker. I will get this phone day 1.
