System clock gets always late by ~-2 Minutes / Day.
Setting is Sync from Network (1und1/vodafone.de Mobile Network or ntp-server in LAN?)
Sometime toggle the setting works sometimes not.
WTF???
Is there a ntp client app on market?
Another reason to root.

I'm running TMo stock 6.5 ROM. I have not subscribed to the data plan and use wifi for data connection.
But ever since I upgraded, every few minutes the "Data Connection" under the Communication tab is changes to ON by itself and the notification shows 3G or Edge depending on where I'm at.
Is there a way to figure which app is turning on the data connection? Is there a way to disable it? I suspect its the weather and location settings that does it, but don't know how to verify it.
Maybe Active sync
Hi,
Coming from an HTC HD1 and HD2, I've just bought my HTC Desire yesterday. And wooow, it's amazing ! Really faster than the HD2 !
It seems that my Desire is always connected to the 3G/EDGE network. How can I see if I'm connected or not ? I've set "enable always on mobile" to OFF, and "Auto Sync" to OFF. But I still see the E icon with grey up and down arrows.
Is there an app to disconnect data after x minutes, if the device is not used ? On windows mobile, I was using WM Long Life to do that trick. I don't know if there is something similar, because I'm very new to Android.
Thanks
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks toggle to turn it off. Alternatively, you can use the mobile network toggle widget, from HTC, on one of your homescreens.
About turning off the data after x amount of MB - I use 3G Watchdog. Search for it in the market, it's really good, plus comes with a useful homescreen widget etc etc. lol
Hope that helps.

Grey means they're not doing anything. They turn white when transmitting/receiving.

Thx for the answer. I went through Settings -> Wireless & Networks and turned off the connection. But this option totally prevents the phone from being connected to the 3G network. When I turn it back ON, then the phone automatically connects to the network.
What I want is the phone being able to connect but not permanently.
For example, I check my mails, the phone connects, retrieves the emails, and when no more data is being downloaded, disconnects after xx seconds.
It would drain less battery than being always connected.
I've searched for watchdog, but it isn't what I'm looking for.

If its not transmitting data, it does not use any more power then if disconnected. Don't worry about it.

would highly recommend juice defender. managers disconnection of data at set times to conserve battery.
I have found APNDroid widget to work quite nice. Click to network on, check mail, update everything, then click off. Still not quite what you are looking for, but perhaps a solution. I am currently on 6 month contract in India & the mobile data rates here is ridiculously expensive. 1mb = 40min phone call in price. So it works quite well for the battery drain & cost saving here.
Why use APNdroid when there is a native widget, which does the exact same thing? (add widget, settings, mobile network)

thanks. Didn't see that far.

thanks, didn't know that
anyway I use apndroid also, because when I click the Htc gadged, the apn connection is estabilished.
Apndroid adds a suffix to the apn name, thus it's impossible to connect (and pay fees ) if I don't want to
Why is it whenever I kill my apn on off app, it just doesn't get packet data the next time I switch it on? The g icon is there but it doesn't download packet nor does it send.

I've got the same problem here. I tried apndroid, extended controls, 3g toggle and apnswitch. It works only if I toggle off and on just seconds apart. But if I wait a few minutes or more it doesn't. I can see the H or G icon but I can't acces internet, refresh my weather widget...

For me, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't :S
Hi guys
Does anyone know why I wouldn't be getting and notifications for email and eBay while the screen is off over hsdpa. I get text message notifications fine. If I receive an email while the screen is off the phone will do nothing until I turn the screen back on and it reconnects to wifi then I will receive everything I am missing all at once.
Having said all that it doesn't appear to be actually receiving them. It's as if it's not even bothering to look over its data connection until it reconnects to wifi.
Wifi is set to NOT be on while the screen is off but surely it should be reverting to its data connection. Wifi, mobile data and sync are alone and I have checked the gmail app and sync is on in that too.
Help, any ideas?
Thanks
If you use the Powersave app (found on the app drawer) then it only turns on hspa data connection every 30 minutes.
If not, maybe you have turned off sync with 3g networks on the Data usage screen.
Do you have any other Powersave app installed?

I have a question. I have "keep WIFI on during sleep" option set to "Never".
When I wake up my phone from sleep after 30 minutes or more of not using it, the wifi does not reactivate itself (it's off, no icon in statusbar), but when I go to settings, it says that Wifi is enabled. Just like in the picture below...
I want to know if this is normal or what? Happens to me on both stock and custom rom.
EDIT :
I fixed this by putting my Wi-Fi frequency band from 2.4 GHz to "Automatic" in advanced wifi settings. Htc and google really need to fix their ****!
I also disabled ipv6 in my router settings, not sure if that helped
Sadly for you, it works as expected for me. I let my phone sit for about 40 mins hoping I wouldn't get a text. Picked it up and the Wi-Fi turned on and connected right away.
Stock Rom (1.91.617.1)
Root
Ex kernel .20 (stock except min perf 0% & GPU medium)

This is just plain weird for me. Not a real problem, but strange, maybe has something to do with my wifi connection (router).
Thanks for the reply!
Just confirmed that one other guy that just got the phone has the same issue.

I have had the WiFi Frequency Band set to Automatic since I got the HTC 10. I came looking for this topic because of what mine does. When I wake up the screen, there is often a message on the screen "wifi has disconnected", and it will show connected to mobile data in the notification bar. It usually will reconnect to WiFi within a few seconds. But it is annoying, so I am looking for a fix, if there is one. I turned on the setting to keep it on WiFi during sleep a couple days ago, but it didn't change this behavior.
From what I am reading here, this sounds like it is common to the HTC 10 regardless of that setting. I am therefore thinking perhaps the "wifi has disconnected" message is actually left over and still on the display from when I turned the display off? But what I don't understand is that I get notifications such as incoming email and hangouts messages while the display is still sleeping. Unless those are coming via the mobile data connection. Perhaps I should try turning off mobile data and leaving wifi on to test if it still does that, but obviously leaving the mobile radio connection off is not desireable, even if that did help. Does the HTC 10 silently always switch to a mobile connection and turn off wifi whenever the screen is off, meaning that keep wifi on setting is flawed?

No. You probably have "Auto-switch to mobile network" enabled in advanced wifi settings.

Thank you for replying. The only 3 boxes I have checked in WiFi > Advanced are as follows:
WiFi Notification
Show Wi-Fi pop-up
Hotspot sign-in
All the other check boxes are blank.
So I have similar problem. When I leave the house it switches to mobile network just fine. When I come back home it doesn't auto connect until I turn on the screen. My advanced wifi settings are below with basically nothing checked.
I agree this is a serious problem and for me I have no mobile network at home and depend on wifi and hangouts for voice calls.
Just curious what firmware is everyone on? Mine is 1.91.617.1.
This thread discusses it quite a bit, mentioning different settings changes to try.

I tried some of these changes, and things seemed better today for awhile, until I found out my phone actually wasn't getting the internet over the solid WiFi connection to my network. :/ I had to undo all the changes so I could get back online with it.

Interesting. Mine was already on Automatic. I never touched it.
