tethering and taking on the phone

cloudtp2 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-22-2010, 01:09 AM

i didnt see a wiki on this or another post. while i had the tethering app on my phone on and using my computer, i got a phone call, then i lost my internet connection.

is there a way to do both at the same time. or is this like not being able to go on the internet and talking on ur phone at the same time?
btw i was tethering using wifi.

Sure its a simple fix..all you gotta do is get sprint to upgrade ALL of their towers to the SVDO revision of EVDO...simple as cake..get to it

Its a limitation of CDMA technology..nothing you can do about it..the only time you can avoid it is if you have 4g and use 4g for data..then when you receive a phone call it won't interrupt your data...

lol not going to happen if you're on CDMA network... if you're on GSM network like at&t and tmobile... you can voice and data at the same time. But not on the CDMA. Currently, Verizon and Sprint are using this technology and you can't do both at the same time. Period. If you have a google number use that to make/receive calls or text-ing though voip/sip technology.

All while it works now... but I'm not sure if this service will be affected when Net neutrality sets in.

Text from a pc using what? If receive a text message from your phone you are disconnected from the internet for a short period before being reconnected... sprint phones take sms/voice as the top priority... second is data so if you're receiving lots of text messages while streaming a youtube videos at the same time you can watch your buffer get slowed a little bit. Both sms and voice will get you disconnected.

your wrong bro, please dont call me out on this cause im doing it as we speak. may wanna read up on pdanet cause if your tethered and someone texts you and there in your contacts you will get the text on pc and ppc and IT WILL NOT DISCONNECT, im usb tethered now while dling a torrent and on ppcg and just now got a text.

they even say they improved sms agent, wonder why they would improve something that is not possible? i know why, you can text while tethered and not loose connection.

The ability to send/receive text messages via your PC while tethered is the main reason I use PDANet instead of Wifi tether. Its an awesome feature.
