Greetings, fellow aspiring Android developers! In a discussion about the differences between the iPhone and Android devices, I recently heard that Verizon users were unable to browse the internet while they were on a call. That is:
1. User makes a phone call. 2. User hits Home and opens up the browser. 3. User attempts to go to some website. 4. ---> The website is never loaded! I confirmed this on my Motorola Droid, but was left a bit confused: why can't I browse? Someone mentioned that "it's how CDMA works". Another said that Verizon simply didn't support it. My questions are: - Is it up to Android? Can I, as a developer, overcome this limitation? - Is it indeed left to the carrier (Verizon, AT&T, etc.), and would that knowledge be practically useless to me as a developer? It's possible to get around this by using an application that does VoIP calls, but I really wanted to understand the reasons behind the limitation when a regular call is being made. I remember watching a video of the Google Maps developer; she demonstrated looking up directions while on a phone call. Wouldn't that mean that she used data obtained in the way that some say is impossible?
