No ones addressed this. When turning on WiFi and WiFi calling it kills radio and can't be fixed until a reboot. Anyone have this. Also WiFi calling on this thing is horrible, and reception. Want to like this phone but probably getting a gs 2.
I have no wifi calling issues, at all.
So if you turn off wifi calling cell does not come back?
If wifi calling is on it should turn off the radio.
That is normal for wifi calling on the newer software phones. Even my Amaze with ICS does that too.
If you also have wifi calling set to WiFi only it will not get signal back properly until it is rebooted or in range of good enough wifi signal to re-enable.
I'm not seeing this either. wifi calling works fine for me and I haven't seen any problems with the handoff when I go out of range.
What ROM are you running? I'm using stock 1.53
It gets stuck trying to reenable mobile connection and I have to reboot

That is odd. For my phone it takes a few seconds to switch from wireless calling to regular cell signal when I turn off WiFi. If you toggle airplane mode on and then off, does your radio work? If not, check to see if your phone has the latest update for it already (under settings->about->software updates, I think). If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to try. You might have a defective unit. (edit: if you haven't rooted it and modified it)
Wireless calling does suck for this phone. I kill my wireless connection when a call drops and call back under good ol' cell reception. Heck, I can't even call voicemail under WiFi calling since the pass code dials don't go through properly. Then again, this is what you're trying to resolve, getting reception after disabling WiFi, so this workaround is not yet possible...
In response to the call quality, I do notice lots of "pops and clicks" in the audio when using wi-fi calling. I have seached the forums and this seems to be a pretty common issue with this phone. I've noticed it on Skype too, which was also a reported issue. Seems there are some bugs to workout on this phone, not too worried about it as its a new phone. Im sure some roms will fix these issues, if there isnt one out there that already does.
I'm using the latest TrickDroid ROM and I've noticed that sometimes the phone does not connect to data when I leave wireless. The wireless call quality is hilariously bad.

I've S-OFF'ed my Sensation XE and have installed ICS as per thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538032
So this is the official ROM I've installed:
OTA_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105-1.73.401.4_P_release_246589q3t6rh79ci68p68k.zip
All flashed OK, but my WiFi is very unreliable.... 3G isn't that reliable either.. seem to have to reboot the phone to get it working every day or so.
I have tried resetting the phone, but still the same.. thinkiing about going back to Gingerbread...
Anyone else having similar issues?
Thanks
I'm not using the official ROM but ARHD which is based on stock.
I haven't had problems with 3G and WiFi (apart from it turning on randomly).
Does your WiFi and 3G turn off and not reconnect?
ive been having mobile data connection problems with pretty much every ics rom ive tried. its confused/frustrated me as no one will will address the issue or offer any possible solutions. only fix ive found is going to phone info and turning radio off then on, also try resetting apns to default.
@cory0821 : Exactly the same issue.. turning data on and off (either wifi radio or enable/disable mobile data) seems to 'usually' fix the issue, other times it just doesn't work until I reboot.
The other issue I have is that if I leave the WiFi on when it's 'sleeping' - it kills that battery. i.e. WiFi consume 30-40% of battery within 10 hrs.
And if I go into the advanced setting to turn off WiFi when sleeping - it makes the above data issue much worse.
I am very happy with ICS on the Sensation XE in terms of smoothness and functionality, apart from I no longer have working data... I think my next question is how to I get back to Gingerbread at it's not really workable at the moment as a Smartphone.
I'm glad it's not just me as HTC might fix it, but surprised that more people are not having the same issue.
WiFi doesn't turn off... it connects to my home WiFi without any issue (and at work), but even though it's connected, none of the apps seem to be able to send or receive data.
I had the same problem with Wi-Fi after flashing ICS. After asking many times in several threads I finally learned that if you are with T-Mobile ICS will not support Wi-Fi. I don't know the technical details, but I was told T-Mobile had to release an official "T-Mobile" ICS before Wi-Fi would work correctly. No one seems to know when the official version will be released.
I am running coredroid v5 ICS and wifi and wifi calling are now working with tmobile. There are some times that wifi calling is not working 100%, but the wifi network for market, e-mails etc. is working great.
When I leave a wifi network (physically), instead of the phone recognizing that it's no longer got a wifi connection and flipping to LTE, it thinks it's still on a wifi network.
The only way for me to get my connection back is to temporarily toggle wifi off. Both Wifi and LTE seem to work fine otherwise.
Anyone else experience this?
Very common bug. Hoping an ota comes out soon.

Appologies, my searches didn't turn anything up somehow. Need to take Google 101 again, I suppose.
Good to know I'm not alone with this bug.
Hey all,
So I've had the same issue on stock as well as some sense-based roms in that I'm using T-Mobile's wifi calling but I'll be on a call and every few minutes, the audio will cut out for about 5 seconds. Obviously you can miss a lot of a conversation in this time and it gets very annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Any fixes?

Sounds like a WiFi problem, but the WiFi calling feature has it's own issues on the One S with call quality.
I'm currently running TrickDroid (T-Mobile Variant) and I'm having similar issues. Some factors to minimize the dropped calls would be to make sure your Wi-Fi signal is as strong as possible. I thought phone calls wouldn't be too bandwidth intensive but the One S seems to very picky about the conditions it'll maintain the call. I've also had some mild success with using a bluetooth headset.

I solved this problem on my Defy by going into my router setup and changing it from its "mixed mode" default to N or G mode. But my Defy uses Kineto and not the new IMS wifi calling.
i have to reboot in order for the 4g data to work again but it only stays on for about a minute and then it stops working again. everything else on the phone works ( text, voice, wifi etc...) I read somewhere that flashing different radios might fix it but im not sure about that. anyone else experience this and have a work around? i am currently on baseband i535VRLG1
Thanks In advance
i called Verizon and they said it may be the sim card thats damaged. if that were the case wouldnt voice and text fail as well?

I'm having the same issues recently. I've always gotten a 4G signal at my house (albeit not the strongest one) but lately, my phone will not hold on to the connection. When coming off of wifi, my phone will not acquire a data connection at all most of the time. I can still send/receive texts and calls but there is no 4G or 3G icon, no MMS, and no data. I have to toggle the radios on/off, or change from CDMA/LTE to Global (or GSM) and back, put in airplane mode, or restart.....there is no guarantee any one of those steps will work. Sometimes I have to do it repeatedly until I get my data connection back but it is only temporary.
I'm on the i535VRBMF1 baseband and updated to the ML1 modem to try and resolve but to no avail. I have replaced my sim card (as I initially though that was the issue) but it has not helped either.
The only thing I can think of is that my PRL may have been updated (it is currently 15310) and it's causing issues with the towers in my area.
I just got back from Hawaii and was also in San Diego for a few days and had absolutely no issues. It seems to only be an issue now when I'm at my house which makes me think it is something VZW network related and nothing to do with my phone per say. It's really driving me nuts though.
BTW, I'm in Southern California (Irvine).
I seemed to have fixed the issue by reverting the baseband back to vrlf2. I had to switch from global to 4g/LTE because I vegan to inch roaming charges lol. Verizon credited me and no dropped 4g signal. So I'm happy.

What ROM are you running? I'm just curious what the implications are of running an older baseband (from the ICS days) on a newer ROM/Kernel.
I'm running cleanrom8.1 core edition. Slightly buggy but tolerable.
I was finally able to somewhat resolve my issue so I thought I'd post in case anyone else is experiencing something similar.
By using a few different apps and testing techniques, I was finally able to deduce that my issue had to do with EHRDP hand-off with the towers in the immediate vinicity to my house. I'm not sure what VZW did to them lately but it doesn't appear to be a problem in other locations so it seems like the issue is on their end (and not something to do with my phone).
In any case, it seems that when my 4G connection is weak and EHRDP is detected, it is dropping the connection entirely instead of handing if off to 3G (EVDO). The connection is also never transferred back when a 4G signal is detected either until I reset the connection where there is a moderate 4G signal.
Again, this only seems to be an issue when connected to the towers near my house and doesn't occur when traveling abroad.
To fix this, I have disabled EHRDP by doing the following:
1) Open the dialer and type *#97328640#
2) Select "[2] CDMA"
3) Select "[2] Data"
4) Select "[7] eHRPD e/disable"
5) Select "[2] Disable(*)"
6) Reboot the phone
Now my phone switches between EVDO revA. for 3G (using the native protocols) and LTE rather than relying on the broken eHRDP protocols. This workaround will have to suffice until VZW fixes stuff in my area but at least I don't miss MMS messages anymore.
Hope this helps anyone running into similar situations.
I came from the OP3 and now have the 8gig/128gig and still using T-MOBILE. When I have my WiFi on, I'm able to make WiFi calls with no problems. But when I go out of range when on a wifi call it will just drop the call instead of handing it over to the carrier (T-Mobile). When I was using the OP3, and making WiFi calls, this would hand over with no issues.
Anyone showing the same behavior? Could this be a network problem or a device issue (that could be fixed with updates)?
Cheers!
Really? Am I the only one? No one has a comment/ideas?
My internet provider is AT&T, if that makes a difference, and I've tried the 2.4 and the 5.0 mhz channels, but it just won't change over to the more reliable source with out dropping the call.
