losing 3G while on a call

[bsica]

A few times today, when on a call, my 3G connection drops and a baloon pops up saying "connection lost, please reconnect after your call", or something like that. Of course as soon as i hang up, the data connection comes back... but this seems rather annoying.

Anyone else seen this?

That happens to me all the time when I'm surfing the web and a call comes in. The Hermes doesn't have the ability to have data going while voice is active.

Hmmm.... cingular better update thier web site then.

Use this all-in-one global handheld for email, simultaneous voice and data, and other wireless application needs at broadband speeds.

It used to work for me on my 8525, but not anymore.

this is partially false... The 8525/hermes will keep a data connection active while voice is going in 3G... but voice and data will not work together while in E.. And if you are in a call and your 3G signal becomes to weak it will switch to E causing your data to drop and your phone can not reconnect to 3G until the call is ended. The only time this really ever happens to me is when i am driving, but thats because of few weak spots here in st. louis.

Sounds plausible to me... thanks!

I'm using radio version 1.54.07.00 ans when I am connected via 3G (says H) and get a voice call then it disconnects my data session. Very annoying. What radio are you using that will allow simultaneous voice/data on 3G?

I'm on ATT/Cingular out in Las Vegas if that makes a difference.
