Why cant i talk and surf at the same time?

Why cant i talk and surf at the same time? Got lost yesterday and while on the phone i couldn't search store web to get the address. Perfect timing to figure this out; when you're lost.  This is a MAJOR problem for me and anyone on the go. WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED??? I will not hesitate to return this phone as im sure all TURBO users feel the same. Someone said the MOTO X was the same way... is it still...why hasn't then been fixed by now? Which now makes me wonder if this wasn't an oversight but something intentional. Why did they hide the fact that they knew this was going on? i should have been told that this capability wasn't available on the TURBO at time of purchase. FIX IT NOW!

Then you have had phones WITHOUT the capability of talk/surf at the same time. If you don't realize this, then you don't(or at least didn't) use it as often as you think. Original Droid didn't have this capability. Droid X didn't have this capability. Droid X2 didn't have this capability. For the most part(there may have been exceptions of which I am unaware), NO Verizon phone had this capability until 4G phones and then ONLY when on a 4G LTE signal. 4G phones on a 3G signal did not/do not have this capability.

Personally, I check these things on EVERY phone before I purchase. This is just a given.

  • Droid Turbo talk and surf at the same time

    Hello,
    So I just brought my Droid Turbo home and have started testing it. I bought it knowing that it only had one antenna, but I had read that a new update was pushed that allowed for simultaneous talk and surfing. My software update is up to date (21.44.12.en.US), and the notes on the update even mention this feature was included in the update (why it is a "feature" and not a standard is beyond me). I just tried it again, and I can't surf and talk at the same time. Can someone explain this issue; is it only possible when using advanced calling over XLTE? The discussions I could find on here were all dated 6 months ago (before the latest update).
    Thanks.

    Yes, they both have to have Advanced Calling for HD voice to work....but that is not what the OP was inquiring about.  You can do simultaneous calls and data with the Turbo with ANY other phone (cell or landline) as long as you have Advanced Calling enabled on your phone.  The HD is an EXTRA feature that makes for better call quality if both have Advanced Calling, but I assure you that you can make regular voice calls the same as with any other device, AND use data calling any cell or landline once you have it enabled on the Turbo. 

  • Will Verizon Stop encrypting sim cards for iPhones so users can talk and surf at the same time?

    Will Verizon stop encrypting iPhone sim cards so users can surf and talk simultaneously?

    I can prove that this is not the case. I travel abroad monthly and have sim cards for these 2 countries i frequent and i can surf and talk at the same time. The claim that it needs another antenna does not support my findings. Can we be more transparent please. As a costumer i find it highly inconvenient to have to hang up a call with someone just to access an email.

    You will see this with the 4G network that is being developed. According to recent news, they just tested the first simultaneous call and data transmission on the VZW network without a hitch.

  • Why can't I charge my Samsung 4GLTE wifi hotspot and surf at the same time?

    Is the charger too weak to charge the device and surf the internet at the same time?

    Works for me, have done it several times since I got mine.  Something that is totally useless with the old 3G MiFi after they upgraded it.

  • Tak and surf at the same time

    For those wondering, it can be done while on wifi, I just tried it out.

  • Talk and Text at the same time?

    Hey everybody. I have a quick question regarding the iPhone 4.
    On my current phone, (LG EnV touch/Verizon); I can be talking on the phone, and send/recieve texts at the same time. I do this alot.
    Is this possible with the iPhone 4? For example, I'll be talking on the phone with a friend. Another friend texts me. Will I be able to stay on the phone with my friend, and also send a text?
    Thanks.

    So, you are able to be on the phone with someone, and also send a text message at the same time? Im not talking about pictures, videos, etc. Just basic texting.

  • Why can't I run Safari and Skype at the same time without making my computer freeze up?

    I can't believe I can't run Safari and Skype at the same time without my computer freezing up, it's a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8 and it has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with 2.2 Ghz and 2 Gb of RAM. Is this a hardware problem or a software problem?

    I haven't gone to the trouble of actually testing to see which uses more CPU power, but Firefox has been faster than Safari on every Mac I've ever owned.
    To see CPU usage by process, open the terminal (in Utilities) and enter 'top' at the command line. You might have to expand the window as processes don't appear in any logical order.
    It could also be hardware-related: I have late 2009 mini with similar specs and it pinwheels easily.

  • Tethering and Voice at the same time

    Is there a refence to show what models support using tethering and voice at the same time?

    I have the same problem with 2 iPhone 4S. When I'm only using data, download speed on 3G is 5.57Mbps, Upload 1.07Mbps and ping 79ms. As soon as I make or receive a phone call those speeds drop to:
    Download: 0.27Mbps
    Upload: 0.1Mbps
    Ping: 638ms
    With these speeds the web browser and all the other apps just keep trying to load or log in but nothing happens. As soon as I hang up, the speed goes back to normal. the problem is non existen while on wi-fi.
    AT&T triend to make some changes on the settings of my sim but itr didn't help at all. Just this morning I got a call from AT&T to let me know that the data speed is supposed top drop and that they don't make any promises as to the data speed, that their "talk & surf"propaganda only means that if you are using the internet, you can still receive phone calls....***? I never had this problem with the iPhones, 3G, 3Gs, 4. I asked them that I wanted to speak with somebody higher up or an enginner to discuss this issue but I'm still waiting to hear from them.
    The guys at apple were a little confused with this problem (I did reset the network settings but problem persisted, then reset all settings...nothing, then hard reset, restored from back up, deleted everything and set it up as new iphone...the problem is still there...) they asked if I could take the phone to the Apple store so they can run some advanced diagnostics...I'll have to take a road trip (closest Apple store is about 100 miles from my hometown)...Going on 1/5/2012....We'll see....

  • How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios

    How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios?
    I have tried a lot of different ways but i cant figure it out?
    I can get the sound and animation (timeline) to start playing.
    There is no problem to start the video and the animation at the same time.
    But i cant get both the video and the audio to start playing when i press a button.
    It works great in OSX and on windows?
    Here is an example:
    // insert code for mouse click here
    // Play an audio track
    sym.$("_1")[0].play();
    // Play a video track
    sym.$("host")[0].play();
    // Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
    // sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
    sym.play("marker1");

    If the game has sound in it (and possibly even if it doesn't) it may be overriding the Music app and causing it to stop playing - in which case there is nothing that you can do about it.

    Try arming the audio tracks, select one of the tracks, then while holding down the shift key, select the midi track you want to record, arming the "r" on the midi track. Press "record".....

  • My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

    Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
    The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
    In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
    I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
    But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
    Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
    please help, thx.
    Michael

    If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
    Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
    Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    Another option:
    Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
    --> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
    = You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

  • Recording vocals and guitar at the same time, using the Alesis IO dock!

    Hi there!
    I have an Ipad 2 with the newest OS installed etc. And I rea the other posts in here.
    I bought an IO dock from Alesis the other day and was full of exspectations, but I got a bit disappointed -> Garageband! When I bought the Ipad dock I exspected that I would be able to record (or just play and hear the inputsound from two devices) at the same time in my headphones! But I wasn't... Now I'm wondering if this is going to be fixed in an update or not? I think it would be a shame if this issue isnt adressed, due to the huge abilities the Ipad/garageband/Ipad docks withhold.
    So anyone know anything? I went to my musicstore and spent about an hour or so with the tech dude there trying dfferent setups, but unfortunatly without luck! Just to clarify that I didt just plugged in my guitar and got mad that it wasnt apple intuative!
    Hope someone can help :)

  • IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?

    Is it possible to use both IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?
    I want to use my TB hard drive attached to one Mac via Firewire 800 to backup another Mac also attached to the same drive via Firewire 800. I can only mount the drive on one machine at a time so I need to share it out to the other Mac. It works great if I set it up to do strait IP over Firewire, with static IPs, but that means I can't connect to the internet because my ethernet connection on both machines becomes the secondary connection method. Similarly, if ethernet is primary then I can't connect via Firewire. Is there a way to set it up so the Macs will know which method to use depending on the IP address?
    I am using 10.5.1 on both machines.
    G5, 1.8 GHz, 15.GB RAM
    MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM
    Thanks!

    Certainly.
    In the network control panel I set Built-in FireWire to the top of the service order list, followed by Built-in Ethernet.
    Next, I set Built-in FireWire to Configure Manually with the address 192.168.1.xxx and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.xxx, making sure the Subnet Mask is set the same on both machines and that the IP address is different on both machines and different from the Built-in Ethernet addresses.
    I applied the settings, turned on Sharing on both machines, then mounted whatever shared drives I needed by connecting to the other machine using the FireWire IP address.
    Now I am able to share drives using FireWire 800 - which works great when used with Time Machine - and still use my normal ethernet to surf, etc..

    Pandora is supposed to play in the background.  I suspect the solitaire app is trying or has grabbed the net connection. Try a different solitaire game.
