missing calls when listening to streaming audio

[adam79]

Hi. I have a T-Mobile MDA running xelecien's 2.26 rom. when I stream audio with TCPMP (core player) or windows media player, all incomming calls go straight to voicemail. every so often a call will get through, but it's very rare. has anyone else experienced this issue? any workarounds? I mainly use the siruis player ver. 1.6.1.31192 with TCPMP on the memory card. whether I leave both programs running, or run TCPMP in the background with the siruis program close, I miss calls. any suggestions? Thanks, I appreciate it.

Fairly simple really - it's how the GSM network is designed to operate. You can have either a phone call or an active GPRS or EDGE connection - you can't have both, at least not at the same time.

If you are steaming music, calls will go to your vmail - likewise if you are on a call you can't use the internet.

Hope this helps.

i read somewhere that it has to do with the network also.. Tmobile has a tendecy to put data over voice.. as cingular puts voice over data

this is very true i have t-mobile and if im using like im+ and im connected to inet i wont get all my sms and calls. its fairly irritating. kinda makes me not wanna have internet on my phone.

^I tested that yesterday with IM+, I repeatedly sent messages and tried calling myself with another phone, call went straight to voicemail, then I tried it again when I wasn't sending an IM and the call came through, so you're phone will still ring as long as you're not sending or receiving data. Yes this is stupid and I wish t-mobile would put voice over data like cingular. T-mobile has inexpensive plans, cool phones, great customer service and the shittiest coverage of any company out there WAY TO GO T-MO!!!
