Data and Voice at the same time? - Page 2

marke · #11 (**permalink**) 02-23-2010, 07:05 PM

I'll say this again for the hard heads: It worked perfectly (and still does) on my PPC 6700. The phone drops the EVDO data connect, switches to 1x, and keeps right on truckin' - you can be on a call live and open a browser and surf pages. I've done it. This is on Cricket and I KNOW that it works.

Just wondering what the reg key was for the PPC 6700 so I can try it on the TP2. That's all.

. I swear it did work while using the PPC6700....

What reg or settings hack did you use? Can you post it or a link to it? I wanna try it on Cricket.

EVDO spec does not support simultaneous voice and data. EVDV did- but EVDV is dead- abandoned by all the major carriers in favor of lte/wimax. The reasoning behind this is voip. There is no need for separate voice and data signaling. Voip allows for a single stream that supports all functions. Just like you can stream radio, surf the web and send email at the same time. VoIP lets voice just become another application. All that you need to ensure is that the end user device and network can tag and prioritize the voice packets and have a data connection that is low in latency, jitter and has the capacity to support the call. (not much bandwidth is required) 4g is capable of all this.

Sprint's PPC-6700 device allows WiFi and EVDO (data transmission) to be active simultaneously, however if your phone rings (voice transmission), you drop the data transmission. It's one or the other. Some of it is a technology issue. That is, the chipsets used by the cellphones share the same antenna and can only transmit using one of the wireless standards. Other times, it has nothing to do with the technology - the service provider simply decides to block simultaneous voice & data transmission for the sole purpose of protecting their turf. Perfect example - XV6700 Windows Mobile 5.0 phone (Verizon's exact same model as the Sprint PPC-6700) is restricted to only one network at a time. If you turn on WiFi you can't even receive cellular calls. This forces users to stay in "voice" mode the majority of the time, otherwise you can't receive any phone calls.

Info appreciated - but this thread isn't about EVDO specs. It's about a reg hack or phone setting hack for data and voice at the same time - what protocol is used when that happens is irrelevant.

I think what he is trying to say is that when on a call, the reg hack forced data to go through 1x instead of EVDO, which I guess would make data work at the same time since both use the 1x connection(but would be slow data).

op, it's been said quite a few times and you're going to have to accept it: it can't be done anymore. only gsm phones can do it now, cdma can't.

Finally, someone who understands!

I don't care if it's 1x. I just want to see if I can make it work on my TP2 like it does on my PPC 6700.

Dude - read the thread. I already said IT WORKS ON CRICKET ON MY PCC 6700.

I don't need GSM. I get massive Cricket coverage where I live, all services included, unlimited everything, anytime, for $45 a month. Why oh why would I pay more for the same thing? I don't want an answer - just saying. Quit hijacking my thread dude man.
