Calls possible with HSDPA Data Transfer?

[async 330]

Hi all

I experienced some problems since I upgraded to WM 6 (official Tytn Europe Version)

If there is a active Datatransfer in HSDPA Mode, i cannot make or receive a phone call. I already tried several Radio Versions (1.43/1.48/1.50), but no success. When I disable HSDPA, it works fine.

Does anybody has same issues with HSDPA?

Thanks
Marc

Hi - are you using a vodafone network? I know that there are issues on the network that are preventing some operators from supporting voice and data at teh same time over HSDPA....

The operators I know about are planning network upgrades or patches to solve the issues (which are not just limited to Windows Mobile devices apparently)

I can make calls -> versions below I don't think this is just a phone issue though. I think some operators can't do it.

I have the same problem as you have.
It is because of the infrastructure of my provider KPN that I have this problem. When I disable HSDPA then all works fine. So no I only use HSDPA when I want to browse on the Internet.

Shitty but now I know why.........

Hi all
Thanks for the confirmation.

I also disabled HSDPA for now.

Now I will the push the guys in the network department to fix this issue......

Just got the answer from the tech guys. Operators with Ericsson UMTS/HSDPA Network Equipment are affected by this. The Operator has to rollout a software update to fix this issue.

Cheers

I'm on At-T in Nyc and my HSDPA works just fine calls while on data and vice versa

I'm in South Florida and I'm constantly using Internet Sharing in HDSPA mode while talking on my Jawbone... (takes "jawbone of an ass" to a whole new level, ehehehe!)

OK, now THAT is the funniest thing I've read here! Thanks for the laugh!

I saw the jawbone at the ATT/Cingy store and wondered if I should splurge on it since I already have an H500 and an H700 from Motorola. My problem is I ride bike a lot and the wind noise makes it impossible to have a conversation with an H500. It is possible but a little difficult to talk while riding using the H700. I was wondering if you had any experience with the Jawbone under similar conditions?

OOPs - That was meant to be PM, sorry folks!

The Hermes is able to do both. Phone calls and data (HSDPA\GPRS\EDGE) at the same time. Your data speed does take a hit due to bandwith.

However if you cannot is because is 99.999% the network NOT the phone. I had a Hermes long before the network here in Canada supported HSDPA. So I could only do one at the time. At the beginning of this year they finally updated it and I have been doing both at the same time with wild abandon no problem.

Check with your provider.
