I have a HTC ONE SV, It is currently running Android 4.2.2. The 2 problems I have having one is annoying the other pisses me off. First, I have Google Hangouts on my phone I consistently get the problem of Hangouts not sending a message (Gets error message: blah blah message not sent) when I click to retry it does not send I have to delete the message and type a new one and pray that goes through, all this while having 3G signal. If there is any way to fix this or revert back to my phones messaging that would work. The other is phone related, My phone has some kind of setting or program that will turn off my WiFi when its on and my WiFi will be randomly on when there is not WiFi signal anywhere near were I am at. It gets annoying because I use my phone to stream Netflix to chromecast and within a span of 10 minutes I would have to wait 2-3 times for the WiFi to turn on again and reconnect to Netflix. I know the WiFi thing is due to something called active sync on all HTC phones but this one goes overboard and randomly turns my WiFi off and on. If someone could give me any help that would be nice.
I have gone through the settings and turned all the power saving things off for the WiFi and I cannot remember how to switch the default messaging for hangouts (can I just uninstall it?).

Go to settings - apps - Hangouts and delete all data. This will set Hangouts to "factory reset". If you open it, it will ask you again, if you want use it for sms. Choose "No" or "Later". Then you should be able to use phones sms app.
For Wifi, no idea atm.

The problem I am having is that my email sometimes downloads automatically but sometimes it doesn't. If I notice it hasn't downloaded, I do a manual request to check email which sometimes goes and gets the email right away, but sometimes even that manual process only results in email showing up 20 minutes later. I am using social hub for my email as it seems to be the only program that brings in both pop and exchange email, plus it manages text messages as well.
This happens anywhere regardless of being connected to wifi or not. I have a data plan and this happens in my home area as well as when I am travelling. In my mobile network settings I have both "use packet data" and "Data roaming" enabled.
Has anyone run into this? The odd thing is that it sometimes works so it doesn't seem to be a setting issue.
This is a Rogers phone that I unlocked and played with various replacement ROMs, but then loaded the rogers 2.3 ROM using instructions from this site.

There is another problem - my wifi doesn't always connect automatically to saved wifi sites. That issue might be related, but since it is a different issue, I have started another thread for it. here

Hi
I bought this phone 3 months ago and have been going through 2 major issues which have become a pain in the **s.
1) Most of the times, while making a call the screen freezes and the timer is stuck on 00:00, and the UI stops responding to any inputs, which means i cannot use In-Call features. If there's a need to make another call after the previous one then the phone needs to be locked and unlocked since the UI doesn't respond to anything without lock/unlock trick.
2) This one is more annoying and it's about Wi-Fi.
When I connect my phone to the wifi and leave it idle for say 5-10 minutes (provided there's no data being exchanged between the phone and router) and then try to open a website, it just doesn't open it with any browser and all other applications which require internet access stop working.
I have tried changing routers and even tried keeping my phone next to the router but the problem still remains. STAMINA mode is always disabled and "Keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "Always" and "WiFi optimisation" option is also unchecked. To make it more clear, the wifi icon is still displayed after idle time of 5-10 minutes on the top right corner with the uplink arrow lighted up and the downlink arrow not lighting at all.
Please reply if somebody else has the same problem and has any solution to it.
I am on stock ROM, with the latest official update 15.3.A.1.14, everything as it is.
Faced same issues for a while, after unlocking bootloader, rooting and installing a generic firmware(europe CE), issues are gone. Original firmware was with Vodafone branding and a lot of crapware.
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
Hey guys,
I just bought the S21+, overall great phone except couple of issue with Android Auto and Whatsapp.
I was able to fix the Android Auto issue (wouldn't connect, had to remove the latest Google Chrome updates) but the whatsapp issue is above my paygrade.
I scanned the QR code and everything works but as soon as the phone screen goes black, whatsapp is slow and disconnects often. Not completely disconnected as after I send a message perhaps 10/15 seconds later it gets set but still not responsive as before (S8+)
Any idea?

Hard to say.
Have you network/internet connection issues?
Are you connected via WiFi or mobile data?
You should check connection settings. Try if it makes a difference if you are connected via WiFi or mobile data.
And if you have installed an adblocker, try disabling. Just to be sure that this is not the culprit.
And I would check for system and app updates.
After you running stock Samsung firmware? Hopefully not disabled any system app.
And the issues with WhatsApp are in the Android app or using WhatsApp desktop on a PC?
EDIT:
Now I have seen the title with WhatsApp web.
Do you have the same issue with WhatsApp desktop app on PC?
The smartphone needs internet access, so if it's locked, it still should be connected to the internet. So you should check the (energy saving) settings that WhatsApp and internet access well not be set to standby when the phone is locked.
I think I have been able to resolve this issue for me. I have Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and due to WFH, it is connected over WiFi. Once the phone gets locked due to idle timeout, the Whatsapp Web would get disconnected on my Laptop.
Resolution:
I followed the following steps
Go to Settings -> Connections -> WiFi.
Click on Settings Icon for the Current Network that you are connected on.
Expand the Advanced menu.
Change option for Metered Network as "Treat as unmetered"
This should solve your Whatsapp Web Disconnect issue.

I have the same error and I still can't solve it
Same problem but above solution didn't work for me either
A bit late, but I was having the same problem and think I found a solution.
1. Go to Settings (In Android)
2. Apps.
3. Find Whats App.
4. Usage --> Battery.
5. Select Optimized or Unrestricted (Mine was set at "Restricted")
Hope that works!
