Hello,
1. I switch my Desire on (the smartphone heh!).
2. Everything works fine when I switch on the Network connection (Internet OK, syncing OK,...).
3. I switch the data connection off.
4. Later, if I want to switch the same connection on again, well it doesn't.
I hope I made myself understand.
Any idea?
Thank you!
If you switchit off/on with the Mobile Network widget sometimes it stays off/on.
Try deleting and then adding the widget back or switching on/off from the settings->wireless networks ..
Or, of course, rebooting the phone..
(sometimes the widget does'nt do what is supposed to do)
cheers !
Unfortunately, it isn't a widget problem!
In the settings, it says connection failed... (at the second attempt)
Of course, rebooting helps but it is a pain in the...
Thank you anyway!
Any other suggestions?
Delete the APN and then put it back.
And if you have APN's that you do not use, delete them.
Give it a try, maybe it helps.
While you are connected (via GSM) are you trying to connect to wiFi networks too?
Because I found a problem with connections.
When I:
1. I connect via GSM
2. then I connect to a wifi network
3. then if I leave he range of wifi my GSM connection does not work
The only solution is to switch of GSM module and turn it on again. To prevent this I always have to disconnect from wifi correctly.
I hope it's understandable.
Had the same issue, could only get it to reconnect after switching phone off and then back on, returned the phone, got a new one and now seems to be OK

I've stumbled on a strange issue.
If I switch the Desire to the Airplan mode when the Data connection is off (I use the appropriate HTC Data connection widget to do this), when I switch back to Airplan mode off, the phone is no more able to restore the data connection.
The only workaround found is to restart the phone.
Has anyone got the same experience?
Two questions.
1. When you say you switched off data connection, are you talking about syncing, wifi, mobile network, ... etc?
2. Why do you want to switch off data connection and turn on Airplane Mode? Doesn't Airplane Mode cater for shutting down all wireless?
1. I'm talking only about the "Data connection" option on "Wireless and networks" menu, that is switchable via a special HTC widget. Switching this option off, the phone is no more able to access to the GPRS provider. I often keep this option off to save battery life. I turn Data connection on, if I need to sync and access to Internet.
2. This is not the matter, just it happens. Eg. When I go to sleep, I turn the Airplane mode on, doesn't matter if the Data connection is on or off (it is possible that it is on) in order to avoid any disturbs (calls, sms, etc.).
I just wonder if this issue is a true bug of the phone:
1. Switch off Data connection
2. Switch on Airplane mode
3. Switch off Airlplane mode
4. Try to activate Data connection (for me it seems it's not possible without a reboot)
Had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: after the phone has been data connected via wifi and I leave the wifi network it often will not connect to data via mobile network (GPRS/3G), giving the message "connection failed" if I try to manually connect in the "mobile networks" section of the "wireless & networks" settings page.
It seems to have fixed itself now, and I think it's because I've since ticked the option to "enable always-on mobile data", which I had turned off to save battery. Give it a try.

Thanks yurikg, but on my phone the "enable always-on mobile data" option is checked, anche there is no mobile network connection problem coming back from a Wifi connection.
The problem I shown is probably caused coming back from Airplane mode.
The other possibility is Juicedefender which apparently is known to cause problems recovering a mobile data connection (recent update may have fixed this):

I've not juicedefender on my Desire...
I've in plan to do some other tests...
I have a problem with my Desire reconnecting to a mobile data connection too, but not when I come out of 'plane mode, its when I leave a Wifi covered area. It could be the same problem, triggered by anything that disables and then reactivates the data connection?
I have no solution yet, and I have contacted HTC support about it (still no reply). There is some discussion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656192
I seem to be having this problem too when coming off WiFi connection, unfortunately restarting the phone has not righted the issue...
I'm also having this problem with the connections. Fine on the wifi at work and at home but not switching over to the mobile network. Apart from that the phone seems awesome! Soooooo much better and more fun than the HD2.
OK, my phone appears to have no network connection whatsoever in fact...
Have the same problem as well. Coming from Wifi and to mobile network only - I do not get any data coverage. This is for the Desire and I had the same problem with Legend.
I hope this will be worked out ASAP.
Well, my problems all sorted. Turns out I had to manually input the APN for internet, took me by surprise since no phone I've owned since 2006 has needed that...
Just had to put in the settings manually too. Seems there is an issue with some of them. Would put a link here but as i'm a newbie not allowed Just google vodafone apn settings for htc desire and hey presto
Same problem here, my Hero had it too. I found it did work when you switch to gsm only and back to 3g/gsm... Would love to hear good solutions.
Im also having the same problem.
If i try switching my connection from wifi to mobile data, my mobile data connection fails to work. A power cycle fixes the issue but if i try switching connections again, the problem returns.
Can I suggest to anyone still having problems getting their phone to switch to mobile data when leaving Wifi to view the following bug report on Google Code and to star it to help raise the priority with Google:

Hi Guys,
Had my Desire a week now and loving it, but have a small by very frustrating problem. Sometimes and I have yet been able to reproduce this consistantly, the conneciton swaps to data from Wi-Fi while asleep, when I wake it up the phone works fine and uses the data connection but wont re-connect to the wireless.
In settings it list no avalable wireless networks, if I turn the wireless on and off it says its connecting to my network for a second and then gives up and says not in range, there are 5 other networks that should be in range and it list none of them. I have tried an app from the market that scans wireless and it has the same problem nothing is listed as seen. If I set airplane mode on and off the wireless jumps back into life lists all networks and connects back to mine. This has happened twice at home (uses WPA/PSK) and once at work (uses WEP).
As I said I cant reproduce this all the time and its fine to use the data connection but dont know why I have to airplane mode in order to get it back, do you guys think its a hardware or software problem am I rebooting the wireless hardware when I toggle airplane mode but not when I turn just wireless on/off? Should I try factory reset or send it back for repair? Has anyone else ever seen this?
Edit:- Sleep policy is Never.
Thanks for any advice.
Dan.
BTW- Stock T-Mobile ROM, not rooted.
Try a factory reset first and see how it goes from there
Hello
i have a htc desire gsm
and im running cyanogen mod 6.1.1 with radio version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
i have the following problems:
i can connect to networks without a problem, and the connection seems stable and fast
but reconnecting is a problem, if i disconnect from a network, by disabling wifi or moving out of range, most of the times the wifi does not auto reconnect. it just stays as remembered and disabled. if i then click on the saved network it connects fine.
sometimes it has to connect two times to get a conenction, looks like connecting, then searching then connecting in the wireless and networks config screen.
its not a big problem but annoys me as hell
on the other hand i have one network, protected with 802.1x eap (ttls and pap) its the configuration where you need to input username and password and use a certificate.
with this network i have connection problems, connection works 1 out of 4 times and if not then i have to redo the whole config. this annoys me even more because the network is unusable for me most of the time.
and
today i had the problem that the wifi conenction dropped regularly, connected, then came scanning which disconnected my wifi and then reconnected. and so on.
wifi settings even force closed then
had to reboot, after that was fine. lets see for how long
i have googled around but never found an answer or fix for this.
so can anybody help me here ?
and i have some related questions.
is there an app that can show me only wifi and related logs ?
is wifi connection related to radio version ?
where are the wifi settings located ? like saved networks and so on ?
thx in advance
I also have that auto reconnection problem. Waiting for a fix for that.
Does it manifest exactly as I described it or in some other way?

hi people
i'm noticing a problem with my data/edge/3g connection.
it simply stops working at times .. it just shows data being sent but no data received and my internet doesnt work.
This becomes fine after a reboot but again has a problem after a few hours
Is anyone else facing this problem too with Data connectivity ?
Yes, same problem with my german arc.
I am not facing any problem with data connectivity
same problems here, I found that stopping the WIFI and re enabling it is enough to get it back on track but its still a serious issue.
I don't like finding out I am missing e-mails an hour too late.
I only found it happens when I switch from 2G to 3G with data on.
So my work around is to turn data off first before switching between 2G <-> 3G. After that, turn back the data on.
This only happens to me on WIFI, on 3g everything is fine.
I am thinking about flashing the UK build to see if it helps.
I used to have the same problem with my x10. Data just stopped working randomly. I used to have a widget to turn 3g on/off and when the data stopped working, so did the widget. Was strange, and only a reboot solved it.
I have wifi problems,it sleeps after a while,no sleep is selectet.

same here. wifi works fine. til awhile later (evactly how long i didn't notice. will keep track)
After which no matter how i turn off & on wifi, forget the network & re-enter p/w. even off & on my phone. wifi status "connecting.... disconnected....connecting.... disconnected." will drains off a lot of battery if go unnotice.
i found a cumbersome work around... off the arc wifi & reboot modem/router. then can "obtaining ip address". but thing is, all other devices works fine.
so is it arc's fault? since all others can connect to wifi except arc
or
router's fault? i wasn't doing / changing setting on the arc. just reboot router. but wouldn't it be silly to do this everytime i use wifi on the arc?
so still no fix? sometimes it happens to me a few times during an hour...
Guys maybe this will help you out..
Go to wifi settings, press menu button->select advanced->under wifi sleep policy, set as never sleep
If not set the wifi shuts down to save battery.
And wifi is given more priority over 3g or 2g connectivity, so if you have wifi on you may not have proper connectivity to 2g or 3g
Turn on/off airplane mode, if you can't get a data connection. In a german forum some guys discussed about issues with multi-sim-cards, but I guess it is software related.

i changed my number and sim a couple of days back. with the same provider. my arc after being out of signal cant reconnect to the data network. the phone calls work fine. but the data is giving me problems. im still confused as to why this is happening. whenever i activate and deactivate the airplane mode, data connection comes back alive. could it be a problem with my sim or the phone radio?
edit: oh and i also reflashed my phone via sony ericsson update service, the problems still there.

Same problem here. This is really frustrating.
I dialed *#*#4636#*#* then phone info and pressed menu. Then I selected enable data connection (was disabled previously). The data didnt enable then. I went to settings>mobile network and enabled data from there too. Ever since, no disconnections. I dont know if this procedure or the fact that I tried to seat my sim properly worked, but u may try either. Let me know if this works....
Edit2: the above doesnt work.

I inserted my old fat sim and recreated the situation, the data automatically reconnected. The newer sim that's a microsim is causing the problem.

Hi All,
I am still lumbering on with an old HTC Desire running CM 7.07282011-Nightly and have had no real issues up until a couple of days ago.
Whilst in France (not that that make a lot of difference) the Wi-Fi access stopped working and the phone stopped being able to see any Wi-Fi networks. Basically, it switches itself off after around 30 seconds and cannot pick up any networks. In addiiton, the WiFi MAC address shows as unavailable although teathering via a WiFi hotspot works fine. I was switch between teather and normal Wi-Fi when the problem occurred.
If I go into Settings --> Wireless and Networks -->WiFi setting, then switch on the Wi-Fi, I get the "Turning on" message but then a Sorry warning saying "Application Settings (in process com.andriod.settings is not responding" and I can either "force a close" or "wait". If I wait, the Wi-Fi will simply switches itself off after about 30 seconds.
I did read in another post that this might be to do with the Wi-Fi sleep status but I tried all 3 options (from the menu in the Wi-Fi setting page) but that didn't do anything.
The issue appears to be that that phone has lost the Wi-Fi adaptors MAC address (says unavailable). However, I can still use Wireless Tethering and connect to to the phones WiFi hotspot. I think something has go screwy with the Wi-Fi tethering and Wi-Fi access (as I was switching between both when on my travels), but I need some help in trying to fix it.
Any Help Welcome
Chris
I tried updating to cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-bravo (whuch was the last release version), but still no joy.
Any help welcome
Well, after trying pretty much everything, I had to run a factory reset on the phone. Finally, my Wi-Fi is working again. Of course I now have the ball aching job of setting the phone up and re-installing all my apps again. Google restore is pretty rubbish
Looks like there must have been a config setting that got screwed somewhere. I did take a backup of the ROM and if anyone knows where this might be resolved, I wouldn't mind restoring.
