guys,
Im using iphone 2G and stupidly subscribed to Digi's unlimited internet RM58 package, just to find out THIS problem!

Nothing can break through during the data connection, calls+sms+mms.

Some sms' just never arrived at all, like, disappeared. Some arrived few days late!

really regret to have subscribed to a data plan that turns my handphone into netbook....urghhh

arghhhh fed up with this issue....now i hafto stop all my push notifications coz of this!

I need to manually disable edge thru SbSetting when not surfing net, to allow calls n sms come in

Then, when I need to surf, I manually enable edge again.

What a pain in the ass.....nokia, blackberry can halt edge when incoming call or sms, WHY NOT IPHONE!?!?!?

What answer have you found? Mind sharing?



Well, this seems to happen to all iphones;2G,3G,3Gs

Just gathering infomation; mind jotting down the info of your iphones?


Iphone Model: 2G,3G, or 3Gs ?
Firmware : 3.x.x ?
Jailbroken : Yes/No?
If yes : blackra1n, pwnagetool?
Surfing using : Edge / 3G ?
Missed calls during surfing: Yes/No?


wanna nail down the the culprit of the problem, I cant accept the fact that the supposedly premium handphone REJECT calls during surfing. It should STOP the surfing session and allow calls to come in! (like Nokie E72 or Blackberry). And yes I read all about the NOM1 and NOM2 that prioritising data over calls or vice versa on EDGE network, but how come other devices can halt the data and allow calls in?


Mine:


Iphone Model: 2G
Firmware : 3.1.2
Jailbroken : Yes
If yes : blackra1n
Surfing using : Edge
Missed calls during surfing: Yes !!!!!!!!!!

Guys, please contribute...thanks.

nothing much that one can do with regards to this IMHO.

it is just how the maxis network operate in general.

i use my iPhone predominantly with optus, virgin and "3" and i have only encountered such problems upon my arrival in malaysia.

I beg to differ, nokia E72 can halt the edge and allow incoming calls. Yes, tested on both my iphone and the nokia using the same SIMcard.
It seems like hardware limitation, or firmware issue?
