ok, for clarity, Voda UK, is still letting calls through while I'm streaming a vid from youtube. I don't reccomend watching "smells like teen spirit" over 2G though, unless you really like the look of the "buffering" animation :-)

I have same problem only in 2g

I've just tested it with Simyo (E-Plus) in Germany. Set the phone to GSM-only, went online, and called me from another phone. Seconds before the call actually "came through" the N900 said that the internet connection was suspended, and a few seconds later the call coming in. After the call the connection was resumed. It seems that not the N900 drops the connection, but the provider.

Im using vodafone in delhi...
the gprs works fine but not with the default settings..
i had to tweak them to get working
the tweak i did was.:

Settings>Internet Connections>Connections>Vodafone Live!>Edit>Next>Next>Advanced>Proxies>

here i had to change "Port Number for HTTPS, for FTP and RSTP" to 0 instead of default 9401.

After this change the websites open all fine.
But now the problem is...any of my IMs never(yes, never) get online when im on vodafone live gprs, while they seem to connect in a second when on wifi....same with gps locking (it locks, but after infinity..thts when ive already passed that point on road where i wanted help..)...

how to rectify this?
anyone else in delhi with vodafone experiencing the same.?


thanks in advance

Hi! I have a 2.5g connection in CLARO and the same issue...when Im logged in msn/jabber/skype or sending/receiving data, incoming call goes to voicemail after a couple of rings (on the calling side, of course) and only get this message about voicemail on N900...but when there's no traffic it gets through fine, the little 2.5g circle with a red line on it and when I hang it resumes as normal 2.5g data operation...

So, nobody is talking about this issue anymore ...is it solved or just there's no near solution?? I can see a bug track about it still open...

Thank for any help!!!

I just live with it. Some times it stops the internet connection properly, sometimes I get 4-6 SMS messages that somebody tried to reach me...one hour too late to recall.

Everywhere I am during the week, there is 3G connection. But I just can't use it because it drains my battery. I don't want to charge twice a day...

Thanks for your answer, but there has to be a solution for this...i can't believe no one made a patch or something to fix it up...it's an important bug we're talking about...

Well, i believe something has to show up sooner or later... think i'll have to wait till then using just wifi...

I'm in Ontario, Canada using an N900 service provided by Rogers.
Was not hapening before, but has started in the last 3 weeks.
The Phone has always desplayed 2.5G, I do not have a data plan, but in the last 3 weeks the calls keep getting dropped and dont last even for 20 seconds at most times.

Any clues???

Here in Brazil, using the operator VIVO I have the same issue.
When using 2.5G or 2G, connected to the Internet with something simple as a ping or ssh session, all calls to my phone go to the voicemail.
I have to use my old BlackBerry 8310 when I travel to 2G and 2.5G areas, so I can use Internet and receive voice calls. I just use my N900 now when I am home (where I have wifi and 3G).
I hope we can see some kind of solution or work around soon.

Best regards!

It happens the other way round for me (GSM 2.5). i.e. I do not receive incoming calls while using internet. It did not happen with the other Nokia phones I used. Usually the incoming call would disconnect the internet. Voice calls had priority over internet. But with N900 nobody can reach my phone if I am using internet. Since I am using the N900 is my only mobile so I cannot use the internet during the when there are possibilities to get the incoming calls.

Is there a way around?
