Hi, I have a question & an issue with my HTC Sensation.
Call Connection Issue
Sometimes when making a call, I hear no ring tone. The phone is silent for about 20 seconds until I hear a 'beep' and the phone disconnects. When I try calling again, I hear the ring tone. This is quite common for me. I used to have this problem with past HTC phones, although it was rare. It seems to be more common with the HTC Sensation. Anyone else have this problem, could it just be my network?
Auto Sync
Is there a way to make the phone auto synchronise, that is, automatically connect to the internet and sync? I have tried lots of settings to try and get it to do this but it will only synchronise when I have manually connected to the internet. I could probably leave WiFi/Mobile Web turned on but this would kill the battery; what I was thinking is that there could be a way for the WiFi/Mobile Web to automatically turn on every x minutes and synchronise, then turn off and repeat.
Thanks
I recommend you test for yourself if a persistent (unused) data connection requires more battery. That wasn't the case with my previous phone and I don't know why it should be the case with the Sensation. Of course, Wifi WILL drain your battery.

Like in topic.
It turns on mostly durning incomming call.
I've found some information about this issue on other forums.
Propably coused by enabled DirectPush. When phone starts a call, the EDGE connection is interrupt. Sometimes after 2 minutes, sometimes after few second, Wifi turns on.
Theroy says - DirectPush force wifi to get connected.
It's not happend after soft reset with Wifi off. It happends when Wifi was enabled and disabled before manualy.
This is annoying of course...
Is someone experince this same issue with Raphael? Maybe there is some solution? I like to be "as item arrive" connected...
I have the same issue...using the Proven 14a WWE. During the incomming call the WiFi is turning on. Anybody can help?
Thanks

Same here, started when I installed GB-SOFT tweak to disable data connection after x minutes idle. Wifi turn on when I make or recieve a call, data connection is of when I start the caal and durring the call my TP checks my business mail (set to check account every 5 minutes). Probably caused due to the fact that TP is forced to check my mail but cannot open GPRS or UMTS connection because of the call.
If I set GB-SOFT tweak to always connect to the data network I dont have the issue. So my temporary solution is to stay connected to the network, it at least drains the battery less compared to WiFi.
I've got the same issue. I think it does have something to do with direct push set up for exchange. There really isn't much on the forums (or at least I am having a tough time finding anything) in the way of resolving this. Some were saying that it is a "feature" haha. No thanks!
Well...yesterday I tryied several ROMs..Lantis, ROMeOS, Elite...so far so good at the end I turned back to Proven..however after that jugglin' with ROM's I don't see the WiFi turning on accidentally again...just guessing, maybe it is just some bug during loading process..when you try again you might be lucky ..worth tryin'
cheers
It would help if everyone stated the ROM and Radio as well as other basic information when posting problem reports.
Well, I have ROMeOS 1.60.2 with .28 radio.
I've had this problem on my Hermes as well.
Im 100% sure, that is caused by active DirectPush.
It's just trying to stay connected during phone call and forces wifi to start and connect.
It's very annoying, but i don't think there is solution for this.
Here its stock ROM and radio .20M1. It definately has something to do with trying to make a data connection wile on a call. For me it is however not when I am always connected but when I set "make a connection every 5 mins". Since I changed to radio .20M1 did not experience the WiFi popup, but this can also be because I selected the always connect.
Furthermore I beleive it has something to do with some programme installed lately because I did not see this phenomen the first few months. But what is it ......
OK sorry for that I should mention it earlier...
I have Proven 14a
Radios tested .19, .28, .32 - everywhere the same issue...since yesterday when I wrote my last post I saw it only once! Which is pretty good...till that time it was happening every call.
cheers
Come on guys. it's very simple. If you have defined direct Push "as item arrive", and you turn on than off your wifi, than it's almost for sure that you will have this issue. it's not connected with radio or rom. it's just wm bug.....
the outlook is downloading emails every 15mins...the Push is turned off...how should I setup the outlook to use only GPRS/EDGE connection and not use the Wifi if the GPRS is not available during call?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean here exactly. Are you saying that you have a VPN set up? If you did something specific to fix this issue, I'd be very interested in getting more of a step by step, because this is driving me nuts.
I use Gtalk a lot and I've noticed that when I leave my phone on standby for more than a few min, my GTalk gets disconnected and then trys to re-connect. I know this happens quite a lot because I get e-mails every now and again from the conversation from the other person because GTalk is disconnected on my end. I'm mobile coverage(2G/3G/4G) whenever this happens and never on Wi-Fi. I'm thinking it's maybe associated with the data disconnects that people are talking about? I do see that in the cell standby, Time without a signal is greater than 0%, meaning it does drop it. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
yeah Im getting the same issues but i was getting the same problem on my G1
I noticed this at work today. Kinda glad to know I'm not alone on this. I use talk to message my ol lady while I'm at work to save texts. I noticed every time I picked my phone up I had to reconnect.
I installed the app "No signal alert" and just sitting at my desk it's been dropping connections constantly as opposed to the N1 where when I changed my sim card to that, it hasn't dropped once in the same spot. Hoping there's a software update that can take care of this. I hope it's not hardware related, this is my 2nd unit already
I have the same poor connection problem. It really sucks compared to my previous phones and my brother's G2. I wanted to exchange it but it looks like it is happening to everyone..
has there been a fix for this because I never faced this issue but now I have started facing the issue.... this doesnt happen on the edge network but this happens on wifi and that too whenever the phone goes in a deep sleep mode. I can say that the wifi is active because when this happens i can browse and my other online stuff is happenning. the gtalk disconnects and cause of that I dont get emails too of gmail. it seems the google account services are the ones which disconnect on sleep
As a power saving method, Windows Phone puts a connected Wi-Fi connection on standby when the phone is locked for more than a minute, so when you unlock your WP, it attempts to reconnect. The phone automatically reconnects and disconnects while its locked to check for notifications like email every 5-10 minutes or so. This reconnection for many is hit or miss, sometimes requiring you to go into settings to manually connect to Wi-Fi again. The only way to keep Wi-Fi connected is to connect the phone to a PC or wall outlet to charge.
Now, for some reason, a couple of weeks ago, the Wi-Fi on my Lumia 900 stayed connected even if the phone remained locked for hours and to my surprise, it had a minimal effect on battery life, I barely noticed any significant drain. It was wonderful!
Yesterday, it stopped this seemingly miraculous behavior and went back to its default power saving ways. I retraced ALL my steps and cant seem to recall doing anything specific to enable/disable this "feature".
So I was wondering if any of you experienced anything similar?
UPDATE: Its not a miracle, Skype was keeping the Wi-Fi on!
Come to think of it, I did make a Skype call just for the sake of trying out the front facing camera quality over the network.
Hi at all!
I have a HTC One S running 4.3, Sense 5.5, Liberty MAX.
My problem ist that WhatsApp Plus notifications come to late, up to 10min when the screen is off. When the screen is on or I turn it on, they come in immediately.
I discoverd that when I turn off the screen and right after I execute a ping from PC to the HTC, it responds correct and never stops to do so.
But when I turn off the screen, wait 60 seconds and then try to ping, it says "Destination host unreachable".
On this state, Email push come through immediately, WhatsApp notifications last several minutes like tolden, but even if an Email or WhatsApp notification comes in, the ping still says "Destination host unreachable". The HTC responds immediately if I turn on the screen. Wifi is still on. Its same even if mobile data was switched off. So WhatsApp or Email notifications can't come through mobile network.
I'm sure Wifi is on all the time, but WhatsApp notifications come to late and I can't ping the device after 60 seconds of screen off. (I can ping my GFs SGS4 at any time)
My settings:
"Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep": Always
"Wi-Fi optimazation": unchecked
"Sleep mode" (Turn off data connection during long periods of inactivity): OFF
I tried other settings, but always the same behaviour.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Yesterday I tested my father's HTC One (stock) in hes network. Same behaviour!
Can anybody confirm this with a HTC (One S, One X, One, ...)?
I think maybe it's not a bug, but HTC's default behaviour..
Lock the screen, wait 60 seconds and ping from PC to HTC. (Don't start to ping before, otherwise it will never stop to respond anyway)
I also discovered that while PC gets "Destination host unreachable", SGS4 gets response continuously with the app "Ping" (ilMobile Apps). Weird!
Please anyone try to ping Your HTC
So I just got the phone a few days ago and I've started to notice some strange happenings. Whenever I get notifications for my apps or messages they always come at the same time. Say I have a text message come in, it will then push facebook or something like that and show messages that I have from the messenger app. Is this normal behavior?
@Demonlinx This has been happening since the first day for me too. I've noticed this only happens when I'm on WiFi, if I'm on data I get my push notifications the moment they happen (all except Google hangouts for some odd reason). I don't have the Facebook app installed but this is a constant annoyance I've been dealing with for a while now, it seems as if when the screen is off its not pulling in data when connected to WiFi, but as soon as I get a text message or turn the screen on my notifications come rushing in all at the same time. Are you on WiFi too when you notice this happening? Or is it all the time?
@elpindian Ok, so I noticed that this happens only when I'm on WiFi as well.. Although it seems intermittent because I've been getting other notifications via a wifi connection, i.e Twitter, Snapchat, etc.. So I'm not sure what is causing this issue. I'll keep trying to mess around with it and see what I come up with.. Are you stock? Do you have connection optimizer turned on? Mine is off. Tl;Dr I only notice this happening sometimes and it only happens (so far) on WiFi.
edit: I found that if I enable WiFi and Mobile Data at the same time it seems to eliminate this issue, I'm trying to test using just WiFi and seeing if the problem still exists.

Try a data reset by dialing ##72786#
@Demonlinx I am stock with no plans on rooting until there is a fully functional AOSP rom out there for our device. I have disabled connection optimizer as well, but haven't turned data off even while on WiFi. Is there a specific setting to do this besides the disabling data option? I never turn my data off since I have unlimited, does connecting to WiFi automatically turn off data? Because I know if I did turn it off I wouldn't be able to receive MMS and I definitely still get all my MMS with no problems.. Snapchat and twitter have delayed notifications when I'm on WiFi but work flawlessly when I'm only on data.
@Soooperstar thanks man but I've been told by a Sprint and Samsung rep before to try that and still I have these issues... Could it maybe be a problem on our router's end? I've noticed that this doesn't happen with every WiFi connection I have; i.e if I'm at my gfs house who has her at&t router vs my Comcast router.. I've also noticed that if my screen is off for more than a couple minutes while connected to WiFi my android wear watch will give me the offline message if I try and interact with it. It's as if the phone stops any internet connection while it's sleeping, somewhat annoying because I can't just walk around the house and expect to receive notifications on my wearable without waking up the phone (phone calls and texts excluded).

Could be..... Kinda hard to troubleshoot. The only one I have a problem with is Tapatalk and XDA app. I think that one may be related
@Soooperstar it's weird, I think it has something to do with the phones deep sleep issues and Sammy has yet to figure out all the bugs. I love the build of this phone but can't stand the software. I'm ready to move on to a Nexus device when the next one releases.
