Abstract
A method and apparatus for user data traffic handling for an EVDO enabled hybrid mode mobile device, the method having the steps of: blocking a system selection at the mobile device until no EVDO traffic state exists, the blocking step includes either monitoring whether a user changes a scan mode on the mobile device; and if the user changes the scan mode, checking whether the mobile device is in an EVDO traffic state; and if yes delaying a system selection until the EVDO traffic state is ended, or monitoring whether a user is in an EVDO traffic state, and if yes, preventing a user from accessing a scan mode menu on the mobile device.
Claims9
A method for user data traffic handling for an Evolution Data Only or Data Optimized ‘EVDO’ enabled Code Division Multiple Access ‘CDMA’ prioritized hybrid communications mode mobile device, the method comprising:
- providing a user selectable option for selection of a scan mode of said mobile device;
- and
- preventing the mobile device from performing the selection made in the user selectable option if said mobile device is in an EVDO traffic state until no EVDO traffic state exists.
An Evolution Data Only or Data Optimized ‘ENDO’ enabled Code Division Multiple Access ‘CDMA’ prioritized hybrid communications mode mobile device, the mobile device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a communications subsystem,
- wherein the processor and communications subsystem are configured to:
- provide a user selectable option for selection of a scan mode of said mobile device;
- and
- prevent the mobile device from performing the selection made in the user selectable option if said mobile device is in an EVDO traffic state until no EVDO traffic state exists.
