Connection drops when a text message is received or sent

Anonymous 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 6
Using the Lite app, on my HTC Incredible (Android 2.2, Verizon Network), when streaming, if I receive or send a text message, the connection drops and has to be re-established. This happens every single time

It is a restriction of any CDMA network. You can only have a voice or data going at once, not both... unless you are connected to wifi, then you can have both.

Verizon and Sprint are both CDMA. Texting falls under the category of voice and not data.
Hi, Jona. I'm on Sprint, too, and have always had this same problem with my Samsung Moment, on which I used Xiia for nearly a year, and now with my new HTC EVO 4G. Your explanation makes sense, but I have a question...why does the interruption NOT occur when I'm streaming music to my droid using Audiogalaxy? I've tested it repeatedly and it never happens, and I'm not using WiFi. Is there something unique about how Audiogalaxy streams that could be incorporated into Xiia? Just curious. Thanks for a great app, though! Really love it.

Great question! Well Audiogalaxy, Pandora, 1.FM and other none live radio players can resume playback/streaming without interruption easily. Since live radio is continuous once you get disconnected to when you can connect back again you've lost part of the live broadcast. There is no way to go back and continue where it left off. The other apps have an actual file they are downloading, once this download is disconnected it can connect and continue the download exactly where it left off. This way you never notice a cut in playback. :)

I've always been able to talk while texting on Sprint, and since the Palm Pre in 2009 I've been able to listen to music while doing any other action (except voice.)  EVO 4g should drop in price very soon, and with an extended battery for only $8 on Amazon, this is the premier Sprint phone.  Works where my other phones didn't  I'm listening in the ofice dead zone using Xiia right now. . thank you for the extra buffers, Xiia!

Ever since the last upgrade my connection is dropped continuously. I'm on Verizon. Motorola Razr HD Maxx. No changes to the settings.

Hey Jason, sorry for delayed response. Finally catching up to the forum posts... Are you still having issues? Do you mind doing a new post with some details about your current issue? Thanks!
