how to detect an incoming call?

| I have a smartphone application that connects to our server to sync using
sockets. While I'm connected incoming phone calls are sent to voice mail. How
do I detect that an incoming call is happening so my application can allow
the user to get the phone call?

| If the phone does not ring, there is no way to detect the incoming call
either

| The likely cause of this is that on many GPRS, 1xRTT and 1xEVDO networks, if
data is being transferred the network is unable to signal an incoming call to
the handset. In these cases, calls will only ring through if the packet data
connection is idle. You can increase your chances of receiving a phone call
by using the data connection in shorter intervals, which should allow the
data connection to idle and go dormant between data transfers.
