its a question that i have been waiting for.
seems like any push data is affected because the app shuts down data to save battery.
I know you can set it so it switches on for a 1min every 15mins but if you have GTalk or constant emails being pushed, it means you wont get them until the app switches the data back on to reteive the emails/messages.
this is my understanding on how this app works.
if there is a program that auto switches ur phone to 2G when idle or screen is off, then i think this is a better solution.

This one does turn on when your screen does lol..
But earlier it stopped my data working even with screen on, i had to go into settings and disable then re enable and it worked! maybe it was cus i was at work and it tried to connect when i had no signal.. i dunno

Re: juicedefender
it's a known problem and the developer is working on a fix. I won't be using it until it is

Is it? Whats the fix? Just turning it off and back on? Because disabling JD didnt work..

This happened to me yesterday as well. Only way I could get mobile internet back again was to reboot

Hi,
I installed JuiceDefender two days ago. Since then, I have had wifi problems. I can't be 100% sure that they are caused by JD, but I had no wifi problems before that, using several different networks.
My phone is SE Xperia X10, but I understand that the app works the same way on both phones.
The problem is:
When wifi is enabled, it takes several seconds to enter the "wireless networks" menu in settings. It then takes 20 seconds entering the "wireless settings" menu. During this period, the screen goes black. Sometimes, I get a message that the wifi app has crashed. Also: When I connect to a network, it works fine for 1-5 minutes, but after a while the phone does not seem to receive any data, even though it says "connected". The same wifi network works perfectly on my computer.
I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling JuiceDefender, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any hints on how to solve the problem?

Re: juicedefender
happened again today with mobile data at work, it turned it self off. does the developer know about the bug?

Re: juicedefender
yeah he does. A beta was released which was slightly better but not perfect. Guess it's just a case of waiting

Re: juicedefender
I think I might just keep charging mine but leave juice installed because I like the push notifications so ill disable juice for now!
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

Juicedefender is not in market anymore.

I bought this a few days ago and it has been working great but i was just prompted to update to the latest beta and nows things are not running too good.....may need to disable for a while.

uninstalled mine. just cause i wasnt getting good internet at work. seems better now. still a good app in theory. better than anything winmo had to offer.

Ive left it on but dont use it anymore.. Battery seems to have improved anyway

Re: juicedefender
the developer has released a beta to try and fix the issues. looks like the different carriers are causing problems with resuming the apn connection
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

Gotta say, seems to be working without an issue on my phone
One thing i would like to know tho is that i can see the settings to change the rules for activation of wifi and apn but i would like to set these to 1m every 30mins rather than 15mins, is this possible ?
I only seem to change it to 2m for every half hour...seems to defeat the pont in changing it...What have i missed ?

It's absolutely helped my battery life. I think it's just about doubled it overall. I haven't bought the full version yet but I do intend to. Not because I want the extra features, but to support the work done on the free version - superb!

[Q] automatic WiFi, any good apps?

Folks,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with automatic WiFi switching apps? Basically after something that works on the desire with froyo. What I want it to do is poll the available WiFi networks every so often (say hourly) to see if my home network is avaiable, and connect if it is.
What do the demon hordes of xda suggest to try, or avoid?

Tasker is a app that can do that, and much more.

On there site you can download it, try it for a week and if you like it buy it. It's a rater expensive app but it has a lot of possibilities. There is also a market version but that has no trial.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it. Do you use this? If so, what for? Looks like there's tonnes of ability that I don't think I'd use.
Any other auto WiFi experience out there?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Yeah it's true that for only wifi on at home it's a expensive app but i don't know any other ones.
And yes I use it, for now i have:
Wifi at home
Flight mode on, auto sync off and low brightens at night
5 minutes before my alarm goes off i turn flight mode off, brightness to auto again, wifi on and autosync back on
GPS turns on when opening maps or navigation
When there is a appointment in my school calendar my phone goes on vibrate during that time
When i open my terminal emulator it prompts the keyboard input method
This is after two weeks of using the app and there are a lot more possibility, they also have a wiki with example apps and some tutorials you can look at.

Y5 battery will do it for your home network, on market.

I thought the Desire automatically does this with no 3rd party apps? All the OP is saying that they want to connect to a WiFi connection when it's available (as opposed to performing some action).
Or did I miss something??

I suspect that the OP wants an app that switches off WiFi, and only switches it on again when in range of a "known" WiFi network.
This is essentially what Y5 does - it only works if you have a cellular signal at that location, and basically when the WiFi network connection is lost it looks at the cell id and if it has changed turns WiFi off. When you get back into range of that cell again, it will switch WiFi back on again.

Can't connect to my homes wifi.

Ok I use wifinder to scan and search for open wifi spots and just recently I am not able to connect to any it just says connecting>disconnecting>idle , I have looked in wifi and network menu and it says ip address unavailable . Can anyone give me some help....? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

I had that problem a while back for no apparent reason and resetting the router fixed it. It was just my first instinct since I work in tech support and our first commandment is "Thou shalt reboot it." I suspect the DHCP table was full or something, but it hasn't happened since, so I haven't been motivated enough to look for the cause.

try disable the networkdata connection
then turn off wifi an turn it on again

Can you be more specific about the type of Wifi your using at your pc??? (ap,wifi card,etc?)

Reset router (virgin super hub) and all works well. Why didn't I think of that lol

Any love on the question of better wifi management?
sent from a phone using an app

I've looked into this. The answer is no. The reason why is most devices including laptops are set for us consumers to get the furtherest range on wifi ap's. Now laptops atleast have an option in the connection properties of your ap called roaming its default option hangs on to wifi as long as possible then there is aggressive which will change the ap its connected very fast but I have not seen any app that will let you make a "wifi roaming" setting change. I believe its kernel level with our device.

WiFi problems

I'm having problems with my HTC One X. The problem was that the WiFi kept switching off whenever I was consuming data (the little WiFi symbol at the top of the screen would disappear and then reappear a second later). This meant that if I was using YouTube or sky go, the video would constantly stop playing and then restart. My phone was sent off to HTC for "repair" and its come back in a worse state. The WiFi symbol continually disappears whenever I'm using it now, meaning that the WiFi is switching off. If I try to download apps from the app store, the WiFi will cut out numerous times during the download and the percentage bar will say "waiting for network" until the WiFi symbol reappears. It's even cutting out if I'm surfing the web. This isn't a problem with my broadband at home because I have numerous other devices that all work fine on the WiFi. I've also tested my phone on a different WiFi network and have the same problem. So the issue clearly lies with my phone. Has anyone else heard of this problem and is there a way of fixing it?

Try to see on the original package of the phone the s/n (only first 4 letters), you should see HTXX...
XX stands for 23, 25, 26...tell me the number you have!

As I suspected...all the devices HT23 seems to be affected by the "wifi problem"!
Start wifi from the phone and wait it connects then try to gentle press in the area at the top of the phone, on the right, near the volume button (under this area there is wifi card).
The wifi should never disconnect until you keep it pressed! Try!

That solution doesn't work with mine unfortunately. Its already been to HTC once for repair and they've apparently done the fix for the well known WiFi problem that you're referring to. It would appear that the fault with mine is something different. I've arranged for them to take it back for repair again. They've said that if they can't fix it this time, they'll replace it.

I got the WiFi problem 6months after purchase, what I did open it up and glued some foil onto the WiFi copper plate and put it together been working perfect ever since. If that fails after some time ill be soldering 2 wires from the pins to the copper plate done deal, my phones been rooted couldn't be stuffed taking the chance with htc repair.

Have you ICS or JB? Because I've found an issue in wifi when I was on ICS...wifi seemed not to work, but once I turned on the bluetooth the wifi magically worked (both wifi and bluetooth turned on--->wifi working / only wifi turned on---->wifi not working)!
However with the update to JB this issue was fixed.
