BT/GPRS outgoing kills voice call |

I have a Toshiba e740 that uses BT to activate a GRPS call on my T68i once every hour to synch my email. This works well....to well. If I am on a voice call and the Toshiba decides that it needs to call it will call and the phone will drop my voice call to accomodate the Toshiba's outgoing GPRS call. Needless to say, this is annoying. SE support told me to call T-Mobile. T-Mobile told me to call SE. No luck. Can anybody offer any suggestions or work arounds?
TIA,
Diego |

T68 does not suport data(GPRS) and voice calls at the same time(not many phones do), so it is logical, if a data call start's the voice call drops (The oposite is also almost true, since the phone suspends the data call if a voice call comes in, and then resumes it. |

I understand the behavior, I am looking for a way to change it. For example, I would like to give priority to the voice call so that if the PDA tries to place a data call when a voice call is active the PDA would get a "busy" or "not available" respsonse from the phone. I would think that there should be a setting buried somewhere in the phone to accomplish this.

Go to connect, data comm, data accounts, edit accounts, allow calls, and is it set to automatic or gprs only.

I have four data comm profiles defined. All of the profiles, including the one that the PDA uses, are set to automatic. I will switch them to GPRS only and see what happens.

No joke gov'nor, it worked. I had seen that setting but ignored it cuz the manual says that it is used for *incoming* calls. After you mentioned it again I figured it could hurt.
Thanks,
Diego
