I've had the G2 for Sprint since 10/11 and realized something today while on a conference call. As with the iPhone for Sprint, you are unable to access 4G/3G data while on a voice call. (You're ok on WiFi).

I'm on approximately 5 hours of conference: calls per week, and I need to be able to access email, log into training portals for work, etc...For those of you that are heavy GPS users, this means every time you take a phone call, you have to essentially restart your trip.

I spoke to our LG Sales Rep and he said this was the 1st he's heard of it, but I called 2 other colleagues that were also given the phone from LG and sure enough, it doesn't work. I know for a fact, this is possible on every other android phone, including the Optimus G. I am holding out hope that this can be solved with a firmware update, but I'm afraid it's the same as the iPhones; it's the way the processor works. :/

This SUCKS :'(

The S4 can do Voice and data while on WiFi or LTE. You might not have the final software when the phone releases yet though.

This is all BS! I can do both data and call on my S3! That includes 3G! This is very important.... Today I was in a call for an hour and 35 minutes with eBay and PayPal for a personal issue. I was driving around town, and if it weren't because my S3 can do 3G/Lte and voice at the same time, I would had been screwed!

Yes, and I can do this on my HTC EVO 4g LTE too. However, I can read and realize this is only affects Tri-Band phones which neither of our phones are.

Sounds like this is a tradeoff that people will have to make. :-(

The galaxy S4 isn't triband and it can't do 3G and voice....

This is an unfortunate downside to tri-band capability. I really hope qualcomm can find a way around this issue.
