Hello, I have used the search function but did not find anything to solve my problem. I have a P800 with a GPRS data account from my provider. GPRS works fine, but while connected, at the bottom of the screen appears a phone receiver cut by a red line and if I click on it, it says "voice calls not allowed - GPRS" (this also happens while MMSing). I cannot find any settings where I can enable/disable this and it is quite annoying having to disconnect every time I want to make/receive a voice call.
Would appreciate any comment on this. Thanks.

I think it only stops calls when GPRS is sending / receiving data. If your GPRS connection is active but not sending or receiving you will be allowed voice calls.
Seems to be what I've figured out anyway ...

Goto data accounts and then the gprs ac that you are using and then edit look 4 allow calls. Do the same 4 Mms. Dinger

Think that option is network supportive, Doesn't appear for Orange accounts.

Dinger, thanks a lot for the input, but I am afraid my P800 doesn't have this option as I have looked under all possible menus and settings in the control panel / internet accounts section. I am on Orange Romania and the people from Orange have really tried their best to solve this problem. I just hope it's not a P800-bug. Thanks anyway. |

@dantob
The reason you can't find it is cos it's not there!
@dinger
The dude's using a P800, not a T68i! 
You can alter this functionality by doing what dinger says on the T68i but there is no such option, at least not on current firmware, allowing you to do the same on the P800. You will see for example that the relevant menu is in internet accounts on the control panel. There is no menu called data accounts.

1. Control panel
2. Internet Accounts
3. Click the "Other" tab
Preferred Mode (bearer preference)
Please note that your P800 can be used for either voice (or GSM data) calls or transferring GPRS data, but not both at the same time. It may however still be connected to GPRS. As an example, during GPRS data transfer your P800 may not receive incoming calls. As soon as the transfer stops incoming calls will be accepted.
Select GPRS only if you do not want to be disturbed by incoming phone calls while browsing the web. All incoming voice (and GSM data) calls are rejected. If you disconnect from the Internet, incoming calls can be received. Outgoing calls are possible, except during data transfer. This mode is useful if you are using sensitive Internet services, such as banking.
If you select GSM only, your P800 will not be connected to the GPRS network. If you choose to download e-mail or browse the web, your P800 will connect to GPRS only as long as is needed for the data connection.
If you select Automatic, your P800 will let you answer incoming GSM calls while having normal GPRS functionality. A GPRS data connection will be temporarily interrupted by a voice call. |

I'm playing around with the GPRS settings to try and achieve the best performance. Does anyone know what each parameter means?
Header compression makes things slightly faster, but I'm not sure about "class 1" vs. "class 5" type parameters. Any ideas? |
