I have a question about wifi with sense based roms in general. I have noticed that my wifi/mobile data goes off when the screen is off for about 60 seconds. For the most part this doesn't bother me, but when I am downloading large files I have to set the display to stay on or I will lose the download. My wifi is set to never sleep but yet it still does.
Is there a setting I am missing somewhere or is this just a sense "feature" which can't be disabled. When using an aosp rom I don't have this problem.

Yeah what the hell. I have had this problem since my inspire 4g/dhd. Eventually, Dutch Danny fixed it.
Now I have Evita, back to this problem. I can guarantee when I turn my phone on, he is going to quickly reconnect to wifi like I didn't notice. Oops and look there, now I have an email. GAY. Maybe if my wifi had stayed on, my phone would have received that email/gchat message when it was sent to me, and not when I pulled my phone out of my pocket and woke it up to check.
Oh, and looky here, my phone was searching for gps at that time too.. I'm over here Google! No need to search for me. And you wonder why maps is always second place to the screen in battery consumption. Fagggggots.
Sense turns everything off when in deep sleep to save battery. Check the kernel threads in development, i think there is a kernel that fixes this.

Hey guys.
I've recently bought my HTC Sensation (a good month ago now) and so far, its a brilliant phone.
However, there is one issue thats bugging me. The WiFi on my Sensation seems to keep dropping when the screen is turned off. The only workaround is to keep the device awake.
I've set the WiFi Sleep Mode to Never, still doesn't change it.
I don't think any of my programs are doing it. I used to have connection checker installed but I've since deleted it.
I'm sure this might be the fact that the phones from Asia, and would be running Asian Radio versions of the Radio drivers? I'm probably wrong but I would love someone to tell me what the hells going on!
Thanks in advance!
Having similar problems but with my HTC Dream. It's usually after it's on sleep mode for a while. Temporary fix: Uncheck wifi then turn it back on again... I'm too trying to look for a permanent fix. It's starting to get very irritating.
When your screen is off for a while, do you still receive emails/updates etc?

If you're talking to me... then no i don't receive emails.. Although it seems that the problem stopped after I switched the ROM from cyanogen to SuperE!
To the one with the sensation...is the phone on its back with the screen off? I put my phone down quick to do something and watched my wifi go away completely...its blocking the signal on its back.try putting it face down and see if that helps

Also make sure that best WiFi performance is checked, and set the sleep policy to never in settings/wireless/advanced. It will eat more battery, but it should help a little if this isn't already done.

I'm here writing on tapatalk and browsing and have noticed that all of a sudden the WiFi will go off, drop out and restart. I hadn't ticked the : best WiFi performance, which drains more battery, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I also have he app: power manager and I'm not sure if there is an app doing that to the WiFi.
Anyone else had this issue?
Edit: definitely having this issue. Best performance or going manual on the WiFi Settings seems to have settled it. Hope HTC comes up with an update for it...

I also tested the static rather than the automatic solution for the WiFi, and it tend to drop equally. Only way it doesn't drop seems to be if I use the: use best quality WiFi, which reduces the battery life tremendously!
By the way, this is not happening during te phone's sleep mode, but during normal operation.

Not sure if it's related, but there are definite wifi issues with the one s. Mines completely stock, no power managers etc. It locks onto wifi points that that have always worked well for me (work, home etc.) with my desire and never disconnects. It seems in this mode it uses much more power and even gets a little warm. I can have left home for 4 hours and it still thinks it's connected and then has no data connection. The only solution seems to be to disable and enable wifi again. It doesn't seem to be able to roam from ap to ap without getting stuck on one of them
I think this may be an issue with Android 4.0. I have a Transformer Prime tablet running 4.0 and I get the same thing. WiFi drops out for a few seconds and quickly reconnects. I have noticed that it only happens in the first 12-24 hours after my tablet has been restarted though. After about a day running solid it doesn't happen.
I had a Nexus Running 4.2 and the wifi was great so probably not Android , more radi problem as discussed on other threads
I'm getting mine replaced tomorrow just to see if that will improve things. Unfortunately I was not able to make sure that the handset's serial number

Testing the new one s that just came through the post on regards to the WiFi issues.
Looks like first impressions that its stable but having said that,y sim card is still on the other handset. I don't know if that has anything to do with it...

Coming on the other phone now, as typing the WiFi signal sometimes drops..

Mine is opposite where I have no issues while using the phone, however, when phone goes into sleep mode, it loses wifi. Comes on auto when using phone again.

Exactly the same symptoms on mine (stock Orange UK). Hopefully we will get a fix soon, as its a pain.

Update.
The WiFi signal on this current phone seems to be spot on. No signal drop with any case on or covering the top of the phone. Signsl doesn't go to sleep along with the phone being on idle and overall really pleased.
I must also add that this new phone seems to have a remarkably better battery life as well. With my usuall use of web, tapatalk, a couple of photos a bit of WiFi, continuous account sync etc, on auto brightness, im at 13:20 and I have the phone on 83% battery when on the previous handset with the WiFi problem I was eating up the battery really fast. Usually I was at about 60% by now

I had exactly the same issue. Since I have changed the "option" / "wifi"/ "settings" / "extended" / "keep WLAN active in standby" = "never" (I don't know the correct terms in English), I haven't seen that problem anymore. I seems that the issue is standby-related, WLAN rescan won't start properly when waking up.
However, I don't think that this issue is related to the issue mentioned by the TO - it's the opposite.
I just noticed this issue when I left for work this morning. I have "Best Wi-Fi Performance" enabled, which was mentioned as a fix in previous posts, but it does not appear to be helping. When I leave for work and get into my office about 5 miles away it still shows as being connected to my home wifi network, when I try to use data like going to a webpage etc, it says "Data Connection Lost". Its like the phone doesnt know how to disconnect from a wifi network. I have the latest update to 1.84.531.2 710RD and still seems to have this issue. Have there been any updates from HTC or T-MO on this issue?
To follow up on this issue, I have called HTC and T-Mobile to find out if it is a known issue. They both told me that they were aware of the issue and that HTC is asking the carriers to report the issues customers are having back up to them. HTC said they are working on a software update that resolves the Wi-Fi disconnect issue. The T-Mobile rep said to have anyone else who is experiencing the issue to either call T-Mobile if they are your carrier so they can report the issue, or call HTC directly.

Been having this issue too. Called up T-Mobile and since I'm still within the 20 day window for return, they are sending me a new device. The girl that helped me didn't even want to talk about the issue or if it's been happening a lot. She didn't even ask if I had tried any trouble shooting. Just sent out new phone with free standard shipping. Works for me I guess, just hope it's hardware related, though I suspect it's software. We will see.

I did a factory reset on my phone and have been having much better luck with the WiFi issue. I think its definitely software related.

Not here. Factory reset was first thing I did (and always do) after applying the latest update.
I just noticed that on my phone as well. If I set it to beat performance the WiFi signal goes crazy. So I uncheck it and it works "normal"

I also disabled best wifi performance and have not noticed the issue since. I dont know if its because of the factory reset or because I have disabled best performance. I have also changed "keep wifi on during sleep" to never and that may have contributed to fixing the problem. I really have no way to tell, and now that it appears to be working correctly, I dont want to mess with it
Not sure why but at night it seems my one s data shuts completely off and when I turn the screen on it it shows a triangle and no 4g icon. When I check what the triangle is it is a warning telling me data is disabled.
After a couple seconds it comes on and emails are synced and notifications come in. Not sure what is causing this but it is annoying. It happens while plugged in or not. I have not found any settings that are power related and I run no software to control data in this way. Does anyone else have this issue?

Does it happen late at night? Do you have always-on mobile data turned on?

Mine did that when it was stock, every night just after 12:00pm data would switch off, I also looked around settings but found nothing, i'm sure its some sort of power saving feature..
Rooting and custom rom seems to be the only way to stop this.
It is called "smart sync" and it is a piece of crap from HTC. It turns off data between 0:00 and 7:00. Try smart sync disabler from Google Play as a workaround. Unless you're using something different than stock rom, you have to live with it (using smart sync disabler).
I'm stock, unrooted and have never ever lost data.

PM the developer of the app on XDA.
I tried this but he does not answer since a few days.
Yes it seems like midnight and randomly during the night. Really is stupid as almost everyone keeps these power hungry phones plugged in at night.
So far this is the only phone I have not rooted yet. I wanted to wait for devs to get rolling.
I will give this app a try and report back.
Thank you! This was really frustrating me. Emails and Google chat would not work and missed things due to no data till the morning. Maybe HTC should change it to cut to edge if its that important that way stuff keeps in sync.

Well I donated for the app and it seems to have worked. The test will be tonight too. So far so good.

HTC Desire Mobile Data Issues
My HTC Desire is around 4 years old and has begun doing some crazy things.
It is stock, unrooted but has an update.
Android 2.3.3
Kernal: 2.6.35.10-g3f43272
Build Number: 3.14.405.1
Issues:
1. So when I'm typing with the keyboard, the keyboard would randomly close, and I'd have to open it up again to continue typing. I do not get an error message or anything, it just disappears in mid type.
2. When I remove the battery for just a second or 2, the clock and date settings go to 2am and 1 January 1980. Surely there is an onboard battery that keeps the date/time settings current? But the other crazy thing is tht iven if the phone is connected to mobile data or the wifi to sync the date and time, it doesn't, I have to reset it manually.
3. The mobile data will randomly turn off. I use my phone as a mobile hot spot and it is very annoying when the mobile data randomly turns off.
Does anyone have any solutions for these?
I've had wifi issues since I purchased my htc one x for AT&T in may. I have had the hone replaced and the issue was never resolved and I'm kid of fed up with it for the fact that everyone I know who has an android device other then a one x don't have these issues. Issue seems to be Interment but happens a lot actually all the time.
Basically my issue is I have wifi turned on sometimes I lose connection.i notice this due to delayed alerts at times and when I'm using the phone such as on the play store, Facebook or any app that uses the I telnet every once in a while ill get a connection loss message and have to wait for the Internet to come back, usually comes back quick but still very annoying. Another ways can tel is when the phone is in sleep mode is when it happens the most. For example ill unlock the screen at times then all of a sudden I receive all my alerts such as gmail, google talk and any other alert that never came through b c of loss of connection. I also notice a lot when I open google talk right after I unlock my screen that it says I'm offline, then after a few I see it come online and if I had any google talk messages they then come through. I also see the time stamps when this happens, like emails come in and google talk messages and they can be anywhere from like 2-15 mins delayed at times.
I have also performed various of tests when the phone is asleep and I s end myself an email or google talk message and it does not come in until I unlock the phone. FYI this is Interment does not happen all the time but happens very often.
Are you guys still having issues with wifi ? Will getting a replacement possibly resolve the issue or sis this a known issue that cannot be fixed? I love the phone but sick and tire of not receiving all my alerts in real time. This is the first android phone with this type of issue and so frustrated.
Have you checked your wifi settings to make sure it's staying connected while the phone is asleep?

Yes of course checked all bases including forums for the last couple of months. Please note as per my op even when I'm using the phone sometimes I get lost connection errors even while using the Facebook app etc like google play store and other apps. So although while asleep seems to happen the most it also happens during normal use.
This is a known issue with many HTC phones. Even if you have WiFi to never sleep, when your display turns off the WiFi goes into some sort of battery saver mode. It doesn't turn off completely so you get your alerts eventually. I have not found a working solution short of flashing a custom Rom. HTC knows about this but hasn't fixed it. They think it is working as it should...

Thanks for clarifying this for me. If you flash a rom like for example cm10 or other rooms it can resolve this issue? Funny bc if wifi is shut off on just data works good, but the whole point is to use wifi as much as possible since I only have 3gb limited. I was thinking of upgrading to a one x+ but I'm afraid it will have the same issue as the normal, one x. This makes me want to go with a different company such as Samsung etc.. Anyways thanks for your help.
I used to have a One XL on AT&T, and when I was connected to wifi, my push notifications (email, gTalk, and pretty much everything else) would not come in until I turned the screen on. It was as if WiFi sent to sleep when my screen was off, even though it was set to always on. Many other people had the same problem.
Has the problem been fixed yet, or is this still something that some One XL users experience? Particularly curious if the Jelly Bean OTA fixes the problem.
If the problem has not been fixed by HTC, does running a custom ROM such as cyanogenMOD fix the problem?
Thanks for any feedback!
I actually just noticed this as i read this. This same thing happens on my one x att. It is like wifi is off when screen is off and right when i turn on screen and unlock 2 seconds later im spammed with notifications.

That is a power saving feature, it turns wifi off when screen is off. You can set it to always. I dont believe evita really has a wifi bug, like any other hardware some devices are incompatible and speciaply with computers some adapters and routers have issues with one another.

As I said in the op, I did have it set to always on. And this happened at all hours of the day, not just in the middle of the night. It could have been an issue with my router, but I didn't have the problem with any other android phone. And also, it was a pretty wide spread issue.
