Hmm. Ill have to try this out

You were probably connected to wifi during the call. It won't work on 3G only.

Is it the LTE?

[Chaddface]

I was considering switching carriers. I thought Verizon fixed this some time ago. Glad I saw this thread. That's a deal breaker for me.

The 9930 is not an LTE device.

Crud, your right. My Wifi was on. I don't usually have it on.

Sorry for the false alarm,

[T�nis]

No big deal. Simultaneous voice and data (using wifi) on CDMA is a nice feature. I do it all the time.

And I know the 9930 isn't an LTE device, but I just thought maybe Verizon did something to the system while implementing LTE that made simultaneous voice and data possible.

I'm wondering if data during a voice call on GSM is as fast as data when no voice call is in use. Could a GSM user report on this, please?

I was curious after I saw your post and checked.
I ran the mobilespeedtest.com on and off call. Seems about the same.
My speed seems awfully slow for a 4g connection but that is a different subject.

^ Thank you for this!

You had to have been on wifi. VZ uses same tower for voice and data, therefore cant do both simultaneously.

That is not slow for HSPA+.

That is not slow for HSPA+.

That is very slow. Even my old 9700 used to give me a consistent 2.2 to 2.4 Mbps download on T-Mobile. My 9900 gives me 5 - 6 Mbps.

Except for your 9900 is running on the exact same HSPA+ network as your 9700 was...

Except one is 3G and one has a "4G" chip inside.

There is no true 4G (LTE or WiMax) BlackBerry available. The rules were just relaxed a while ago so Tmobile and Att can call their networks "4G"

So yes, your 9900 is using the exact same network as your 9700 was...

There is no true 4G period, not even LTE. Only LTE Advanced is 4G so that is why I had said "4G".

But on the same network my 3G phone will give me 2.5 Mbps down but I also have a HSPA+42 phone that consistently gives me 25 Mbps down, so it is not the network, it is what the phone is capable of doing.
