[Bug 1536195] Re: Can't receive calls and sms while Hotspot is active

 

@Tony
Thank you for your answer!
Tried out some things ...

Problem is resulting due to the dual-standy configuration of the BQ as you explained. So its NOT a bug on the phone!
With my configuration to use Sim 2 for Data and Sim 1 for calling no calls can be received as long as Sim 2 is managing any traffic.

When using hotspot i have two devices connected (one Laptop and one
tablet). On both there are running some background services producing
traffic all the time (resulting in suspending Sim 1 for telephony all
the time).

When disconnecting the connected devices AND Aquarius go to black screen after less than 1 Minute i can receive calls normal (would estimate 10 sec after going to blank screen, but not measured exactly).
 
So, my description of necessary reboot to solve calling problems was not correct. It depends in this Sim-configuration only whether there is data-traffic going through Sim 2 or not.  Even after rebooting the phone, I am not reachable directly afterwards, because i.e. telegram produces some traffic (resulting in suspending Sim 1).
I think, this behaviour  is due to the "global" configuration of dual-Sim with the hardware capability and cannot be changed.  

When using only Sim 1 for data traffic and phone calls all went fine. I
can receive calls even data traffic is going on (with hotspot, or just
using the phones browser).

_________
My workaround for my special configuration: Will reactivate an very old Nokia for telephony (I am calling it "vintage" phoning" ;-) and use my unlimited Data Sim in the Aquarius for using it as my personal mobile hot-spot.  

Thanks a lot for your help!

PS - may I (or you?) change my request to a question?

  Can't receive calls and sms while Hotspot is active

Bug description:
  Using 2 Sim Cards
  Sim 1 for using telephone calls (Provider: Telering (Austria))
  Sim 2 for using mobile internet (Provider: 3 AT; this Sim is a Data-Only Sim)

  While activating Hotspot (using/sharing the internet using Sim 2) I
  cant receive any calls (number from Sim 1) or SMS. When calling me the
  caller always get a message from tel-provider: "The customer is
  currently not accessible...", it seems like the phone switched of. But
  I can make calls during the phone is in "Hotspot"-mode without
  problems.

  Calls and SMS are related to SIM 1
  Data is related to Sim 2 (is running in 2G/3G mode)

  After ending Hotspot I am not reachable at all. I have to reboot (sometimes twice) to be accessible again.
