cannot receive calls while in 1x

[JonB]

Noticed this the other night. Calls go strait to voicemail. As soon as it goes into evdo, calls resume as normal. If I turn off the network, I never have an issue. Any idea?

Are you using the Airave device?

 

[JonB]

Nope. It happens everywhere i go.

It really sucks. With Sprint if you are on 1x and using data then calls go to voice mail (verizon has a work around for this) with the phone pulling data a lot - that means a lot of calls go straight to voice mail.

 

[JonB]

Well it does it even if im not using data. Its very annoying. Is this something im going to have to live with?

I could not figure out why my phone did this. But now I know. So there is no workaround? This happens to me alot and I miss a ton of important calls because of it. Not only that but once my caller reaches me, they are beyond frustrated.

 

[kennyidaho]

No, it shouldn't be happening all the time. I live in a 1x area only and receive calls - I just have to be careful on how many apps I have pulling data.

Is att the only network that allows you to access the web while talking? I could have sworn I was browsing the web while I was chatting, but I think I was on wifi, but I can't do that anymore either.

I ran into this this morning, and my girlfriend called me last night and the phone went to a message saying the number was invalid. At home, I have the airrave, so what effects does the airrave have? At work there is a sprint repeater but its a bit flacky and the phone sometimes goes to roaming. Thoughts?
