Cannot receive calls when using Edge network for data?

Hi,
This afternoon someone was trying to reach me urgently and all her calls to my iPhone went straight into my voicemail. My phone never rang and never showed missed calls.
I spoke to Aaron at Apple, thinking there might be a problem with my phone, and he told me that when the Edge network is in use, then the phone will not ring and calls will be routed straight to voicemail.
Is this really expected behavior? I was not aware of it.
iPhone 8GB    

This has nothing to do with EDGE all other phones will notify you and pause the connection. i posted about this 2 days ago but the thread got deleted.
here is a video that proves this, the noise is from the GSM but the user is clearly on the edge network.

this is from Tier 2 suport at Apple.
Everyone having this issue should call 1-800-MY iPhon. Ask to speak to Tier II support, the person you get may try to help, and may need to give you a case number. You'll probably have to wait a while on hold.
I just spent an hour on the phone with Tier I & II. The tier I guy started by saying that when you use EDGE it will always go to voicemail. I told him, I was on a user forum & some people said they don't have the issue. He then tested it on his phone & experienced the direct to v-mail issue. We talked about how this was a real problem & how both of our nokia phones didn't have this issue (he actually had the E-61 also). He gave me a case number & transferred my to tier II. The tier II guy told me that this was a software issue. That a pop-up needs to be designed into the software to allow the user the option to disconnect the data connection & accept the voice call, or not. I told him that I'd read on a user forum that some users get voice calls while using EDGE. He said that if they are using you tube the call will automatically interrupt & switch out of you tube. We then tested this on my iPhone & it worked (i.e. the call interupted you tube). He said the software currently decides to disconnect data or send calls to voice mail during EDGE transmissions based on what the user is doing. Phone calls take priority over you tube & widgets (stock & weather)but safari and e-mail take priority over phone calls. He said the thought was, it would be more annoying to users to be in the middle of sending an e-mail and having mail disconnected for a phone call, than having the call go to voicemail. The ideal solution is to have a choice (like other phones allow) but right now the iPhone software does not have a pop-up designed allowing the user to accept the call or keep the data connection. (He seemed to be familiar with this on other phones while being tethered to a macbook to use their data connections & getting voice calls during downloads).
He said he was submitting this to the engineering group & said the more people that call tier II about this & submit it as an issue via online feedback, the higher priority it will get to be addressed in the first software update. So if you want to see this fixed start calling and submitting the issue http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html in as much detail as possible (specifically say that other existing phones Nokia S60s etc. have this function).
and here is a thread that is discussing this serious problem. note it is now many pages long.

  • What goes where when using separate drives for data and applications?

    Hello people!
    In Mac Guru's "Guide to Macintosh Performance Acceleration" it states " Separating your "User" data from the Operating System and Applications is the simplest and most cost effective way to enjoy a significant performance boost at
    minimal cost"...
    Now how exactly do I do that?
    I have a 40 GB HD with Panther on it and a 55 GB drive I want to use for the "data" drive. What goes where?
    Thanks for reading!

    Hello Danny:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I disagree with the premise in that article - "significant" is relative and depends on where you are. The only method I am aware of to "separate" would be to create partitions. OS X uses sophisticated algorithms to manage memory - both real and virtual. There are very few good reasons to partition an internal HD - and several that suggest you should not do that - absent a "good" reason.

  • When connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

    when connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

    I believe I may have solved this
    When you can't log into public WiFi ...
    with an iDevice…
    because the Server times out ...
    or the login/registration page just won't load ...
      ********Simply do this***********
    Go into settings> WiFi and tap the little info icon for the network you are trying to join
    If you see two slider buttons, these are the cause of your woes
    One says "Auto Join" (or similar) - you can leave this ON
    The second button is "Auto Login" - you must turn this OFF (slide it left so it is grey not green)
    Now go back and reselect the network.
    If the login page doesn't come up automatically, open a Safari window and enter any address
    Bingo!
    I have reproduced this issue and solution in 100% of the public WiFi spots which I could previously not access. Please not that I also have "Block Pop-Ups" turned OFF in Settings> Safari, though I do not know if this is a necessary step.
    I have filed a bug report with Apple. Feel free to contact them yourselves if this workaround works for you.
    Peace y'all

  • When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card

    When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card. I have tested with both 1.0.3 and 1.0.5 clients with RabbitMQ 3.1.5.
    I was wondering if the community was aware of this problem and if there are any workarounds? If not what is the proper channel to file a bug report. An example code snippet is below. The test fails because the TextMessageMatcher expects the destination passed in on construction (second parameter) to equal the desination on the message received (aquired from getJMSDestination).
            Mockery context = new Mockery();
            final MessageListener messageListener = context.mock(MessageListener.class);
            final Latch latch = new LatchImpl();
            final String prefix = "test" + System.currentTimeMillis();
            context.checking(new Expectations() {
                    oneOf(messageListener).onMessage(with(new TextMessageMatcher("MSG1", prefix + ".1234")));
                    will(new CustomAction("release latch") {
                        @Override
                        public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
                            latch.unlatch();
                            return null;
            final Connection connection = createConnection(null, null);
            Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
            connection.start();
            Topic wildcardTopic = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + "." + "#");
            Topic destination = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + ".1234");
            final MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(wildcardTopic);
            consumer.setMessageListener(messageListener);
            MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(null);
            producer.send(destination, session.createTextMessage("MSG1"));
            latch.await(5000);
            connection.close();
            Thread.sleep(5);
            context.assertIsSatisfied();

  • C5 - when connected to 3g cannot received calls - ...

    I do not undrstand why this is going on. I tried to fix it like in a previous post but nothing is happening. Please help, this is very frustrating!
    When ever it connects in the internet it cannot receive calls. Is this normal? Will it be fixed with a firmware update? Is nokia aware of the problem? Is it in purpose?Does it happening in more phones?

    Why noone answers???
    Not even from Nokia service? I allready sent them an email nothing happens they do not answer.
    At least answer "Yes we are aware of this, we will revert with a firmware update as soon as possible" or something like this!!!
    It is making me so angry...

  • When using quick edit for compressed CSS, edge code does not jump to the particular class but displays the whole thing. This destroys the whole purpose. Does anyone know a fix or extension for that.

    When using quick edit for compressed CSS, edge code does not jump to the particular class but displays the whole thing. This destroys the whole purpose. Does anyone know a fix or extension for that.

    I suspect that beautify doesn't touch CSS that it is not aware  of (e.g. new properties/syntaxes, vendor-prefixes). See if there's a newer version available.
    Which compressed CSS are you using? Most CSS libraries come with both compressed and original stylesheets, so use the original one during development/debugging, and switch to the compressed one for deployment.

  • Is it possible to ignore "Rigid relationships between attributes cannot be changed" when using ProcessUpdate for Dimension?

    As per the title is it possible to ignore "Rigid relationships between attributes cannot be changed" when using ProcessUpdate for Dimension?
    We have a case where very rarely an item might have been miscategorised so the brand is manually changed.  We want this dimension to be rigid to speed up ProcessUpdate.
    We do a ProcessFull each night, so it will get corrected then, but during the hourly updates we would just like to ignore this error if possible?

    Hello,
    The rigid relationship should be defined when the members will not change over time. Here are some threads regarding rigid relationship for your reference, please see:

  • My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

    My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • I CANNOT RECEIVE E-MAIL, USING IPAD2

    I CANNOT RECEIVE E-MAIL, USING IPAD2

    First of all, do you have Internet connectivity?   I get email fine when I am connected to a WiFi network (I don't have 3G), but I can't if I'm not connected.
    Secondly, have you set up your email account settings correctly?   Compare them with your computer (or however you were getting them before) or ask you email provider for assistance.

  • Can't receive calls when I'm on Internet

    I can't receive calls when I'm on either Youtube or safari. At least this is what I have checked so far. When people call when I'm online, they don't even get the voicemail. What must be wrong?

    Stay tuned: Others will chime in here soon--> Basilon is mistaken. The iPhone (currently) is simply not able to receive calls while actively on the internet via the edge network. The call will go directly to voice mail in that scenario.
    Allan's post is correct (you can take take his posts to the bank ;)).
    Basilon might have experienced a call come through when he was looking at a page that already downloaded (Don't even know if that's possible.)

  • 4S  uses edge network instead of 3G

    New 4S uses Edge network when 3G is available.
    IPhone 4 stays on 3G in same locations. 

    I have the exact same issue. I am using both a 4 and 4s and while the 4 is running full bars on 3G, the 4s will be stuck on Edge. I have to turn off and on airplane mode, and than a full bar 3G signal is acquired. For some reason, the 4s does not seem to want to switch back onto 3G once it has moved onto Edge.

  • When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have columns of different widths?

    When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have a column of different width?
    Case in point, the supplied avery labels in Appleworks does not have 8195. When I build one using custom design  I need a small column between column 2 and 3 to line up the info in columns 3 and 4. All the labels are 1.3/4 inch wide but I need to insert a column 1/4 wide to match up with the avery page....
    Any ideas???    
    Thanks......
    ---warren

    Well, the issue is that when you creat a custom width of 1.3/4 from the edge of the first label to the edge of label 2 all is good. The right and left margins were also set correct in AW. The Avery page, for some reason, has a small 1/4 inch column between the columns of label 2 and 3 therefore making the distance between the left edge of the label in column 2 and the right edge of the label in column 3 - a width of 2 inches and not 1.3/4.
    I guess Avery wanted the page to look even.
    I did this work around.....
    I created a custom lay out of 2 columns (not 4) with the correct width of 1.3/4 from label edge to label edge and the correct left side margin. After printing the first page I just turned the sheet 180 degress and printed the 2nd page to use all the labels on the Avery sheet. Since the upper and lower margin were the same it worked great....
    "Great minds think alike"...   thanks for your suggetion

  • Why can I only make calls when using speakrphone?

    I can only make phone calls when using the speaker phone or headphones.  The receiver can hear me although I can not hear them.  I have only had the phone since Sat, have checked volume levels and tried adjusting during a phone call too.

    Try making a call and turning the volume up using the buttons on the side of the phone. If that doesn't work, your iPhone is faulty. Take it to the nearest apple store or back where you bought it!
