It's not a carrier fault. Some data xfer standards (i.e. EDGE) cannot operate while doing phone call. If you use GPS receiver then it's completely different hardware and not interfere with phone radio. However if you want to use cell traingulation instead of GPS receiver then it needs data connection to map cells to certain location. And it of course may be not available when on the call if the situation I formerly described occur -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
