Talk and data at the same time?

[ubigred]

there's an ugly workaround, that would work,

if you have gv /sprint number integration & allow incoming calls from the hangouts dialer, it would work (very ugly & clunky) ..

clunky because you'd have to go thru the trouble of toggling the *allow incoming calls* thru the hangouts dialer, but once the call is picked up the focus is off the native dialer,


ugly because it's predicted on having a very strong, consistent, lte connection,

& also if there isn't a call already established via the hangouts dialer & you're doing smalls amounts of data I/0, an incoming call could creep in between dormant data transfer, having to ignored from the native dialer, & picked up from the hangouts dialer;

but if your doing a steady music & video stream which takes up the data channel & pick up an incoming call from the hangouts dialer, all good, but the lte connection has to be great..


the most smoothest way, to use the gv/ sprint number integration, is, moving the number usage from the device to a desktop / laptop, by logging on to gmail or hangouts via a browser, yea, you'd be stationary, but you be able to handle calls & do data at the same time.. won't work while you on a subway going uptown, lol, or out & away from home, at someone's cookout, but..



if there was a way to turn off the native phone dialer, turn on accept incoming calls from hangouts & retain the lte data, parked on a very strong lte -98dbm connection with sprint / gv integration, it would make for a fine beast.. but that dam native dialer .., takes precedence over every-thing..

Ugly indeed.

They will most definitely start having some in 2016. Maybe not nationwide, but I'm willing to put money on it that they are working on it while upgrading the network

Not happening at all. 2020 at the earliest

Nothing anything close to that. Sprint is in bad shape. Masa Son wanted to sell Sprint, but no one wanted to buy it. Not EVEN Comcast

That's nonsense. Softbank has made no attempt to sell Sprint. They've been increasing their stock stake since after the T-Mobile merger fell through. You're repeating Internet rumors.

 

[anon(871934)]

Yes, improvements have been. However , Softbank doesn't have the money for the 600mhz auction AND to see the densification project through. Fact.

Masa Son tried to sell Sprint. No one wanted to buy it. Fact.

That has no basis in fact. Softbank maintains many venture capital like investments for the purpose of unloading quickly for CAPEX spend. They've made a judgment that they don't need the spectrum not that they can't afford it. Their strategy is clear. They're going to back regional carriers picking up that spectrum then partner with them through CCA.

LTE to CDMA hand-off is virtually impossible right now.

VoLTE is not happening in 2016.

Yes, I know. That hasn't stopped Verizon. They could release it in their more saturated LTE areas.

Verizon and Sprint are on different levels. Sprint needs to finish the densification project first or you'll have dropped calls every 2 seconds

 

[UDPGuy]

I still think markets with good LTE could support it fine. Just keep it as an option only, don't turn it on for everyone.

Either way, I'll put $20 on it

Sprint is in no rush to implement VoLTE.
Thanks for lunch

It will be interesting to see when this will get done. I just ordered the iPhone 6S Plus for my dad via his account (I manage their account for them) and it only showed WiFi calling as a calling feature.

It will get done by the time you order the iPhone 10S Plus.

We shall see. I am on T-Mobile so I have been enjoying talk & data for a long time now . My dad though doesn't care too much about this feature. Maybe one day he will..
