Sprint S6 - Phone Call & Internet?

[stephanie_thomas]

I just switched from my HTC Lte 4g and love my S6 except I can't be on a call and use the Internet at the same time. I did this every weekday on my HTC. Is that normal?

With AT&T and T-Mobil simultaneous Voice and Data works perfectly. With Verizon it will only work using VoLTE and with Sprint it does not work at all. With this said back in April when I switched to Sprint and the S6 it raised a concern and I'm sure the level of this issue will vary between an individuals usage but I gave Sprint a try and for the substantial cost savings in my case this was the correct decision. Sprint network is remarkably fast call quality is good and over these 9 months only twice did this issue come up and it simply put the data on hold I took the call when complete the data resumed. In 9 months I saved $720.00 with Sprint compared to Verizon so it just makes sense. Before everyone jumps in about carries performance I understand location has everting to do with how well a carrier performs and I must happen to be in an area that Sprint does well.

I had this problem when I first switched to sprint, and I'm surprised to see such little available information on this topic as I have thoroughly researched this topic time to time.

I switched to sprint to save money, I bought the new M9 and was very excited to have unlimited data. I added hotspot to use on my laptop for work because in my warehouse I do not have direct internet lines in my makeshift office. After realizing my internet broke up every time I received a call I was furious to find out most of the new Sprint phones no longer have dual antenna's or radios..BULL****. Determined to find a way... I stumbled upon my gf's phone by accident, she could have voice and data simultaneously on her samsung galaxy s4 model 720. Now there's two model 720 models you need make sure you get the right one with dual radios. So inevitably I traded in my M9 for a S4, but now I'm rooted with hotspot and big middle finger to sprint and unlimited data. The s4 is so good with hotspot I watch HD netflix, and dont have a internet bill!

I am noticing that every time I reach out & grab my phone to look at a Text, or FB or do something else, that suddenly the phone starts ringing with a new call coming in?? Why is this happening only when the Samsung S6 detects movement or activity with the phone?

Does Samsung have some sort of movement detection system that activates the phone when picked up?

It's a bit frustrating as I am trying to perform another task and a phone call starts to come in - happens often!
