Glad that you got this fixed.

However, I think that it is important to clarify: You cannot be engaged in an active data session while also conducting an active voice call. Rev.A will, in many cases increase data speed and reduce data latency, but it does not enable simultaneous data and voice. What Rev.A does enable, is an interrupt ... so that when a data session is taking place (long download, etc.) and a voice call is incoming, you get a prompt to allow you to choose to interrupt the data session in order to take the voice call.

EDIT: P.S. So what does it mean when your PRL is blank?

you sure about that? Rev A does not give u simultaneous data and voice, nor does it prompt you to interrupt.....I'm running a fairly stock rom att, and just tested this by streaming radio then placing a call from a landline. data stops, EV changes to 1X for the phone call.

That's a good test, OMJ.

Apologies if my reply was unclear. We are thinking along the same lines. Rev.A does NOT give you simultaneous data and voice. Agreed.

The confirmation ... I guess that is more of a supposition based on experience and observation.

I have seen/received the prompt a few times ... i.e. in the midst of an active data session and a call comes in ... and I received a prompt.

How interesting ... can't for the life of me get it to come up now.

So, no prompt - immediate incoming call.

Thanks, OMJ

REV0 will interrupt data as well for an incoming call.

Yaco, which network are you roaming on ?? I have good VZW EVDO coverage in my area but even after doing the things you suggested I can't get EVDO roaming.
