Data drops out during a call

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

This is pretty consistent, that during a call, I will lose the data signal and drop down to G, from H+ (5 bars) on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha. So if I want to look something up, while on a phone call, that I will not get data back until I finish the call.

 

I was wondering if there was a setting that hasn't been enabled?

 

Currently on a monthly contract.

Fairly typical tbh. Sometimes I can hold onto H when on a call but mostly it drops to G.

@Cleoriff,

This has been going on for quite a while (at least as long as I have been on contract with O2). I live and work around Sutton and Wimbledon in London.

Signal strength is normally very good.

 

OK. I have looked at the mobile network settings, and I am surprised to see a few differences between the settings that were sent out.

Does my head in tbh, but only cuz the calls start in HD calling quality and after a minute or so goes crap again.
I set network to 3g only now to retain hd calls and still get 15mb speed

It's due to capacity issues, I'm sure of it.

I agree as I have the same issue which actually doesn't bother me, my opinion is that if you are on H or whatever you get in the area then answer a call, it drops to G so,it can concentrate the signal on the phone call instead of over compensating with trying to have signal for data & calls at the same time 

 

i could be wrong though
