Hi.
This maybe in the wrong thread.
My question is this..
Every time I lock my DHD then unlock it, it has cut off my wifi & reception off so could be affecting incoming calls etc.
Im currently running cyanogen rom(latest).
Is there a option to correct this or a fix.
Thanks guys for any help. )

Before the mods get on here, I will answer as long as you recognise this...
THIS IS THE DEV SECTION...all Questions should hit the Q&A section
However, have you checked that wifi sleep when screen is off is unchecked.
Settings>>Wireless and Networks>>*menu button* Advanced>> and check to see what wifi sleep policy is set to.

First of all, you posted this in the wrong section.
Anyway, I'll reply here. Some Admin is going to move this thread to Desire HD General section of the sub-forum, I believe. Anyway...
The Wi-Fi connection may drop because it is set that way. Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi Settings. Now press (touch) the menu key, then go to Advanced. From there, you should have an option called Wi-Fi Sleep Policy (it is the very first, I believe). Set that to never, or whatever it suits you.
It should be on When screen off by default, which means the Wi-Fi goes off every time the screen does so.

Oh thank you, wbbigdave. It took me 6 minutes to remember where exactly this setting was in Sense. Now my post is useless, and so is the waste of time I just did. haha
Gah knew i missed a step, im actually on ICS now so forgot my sense menus.
Thanks alot guys for the reply. I had a feeling was the wrong place too post. Thought might of been something to do with cyanogen rom. Not the case.
Thanks

Wi-Fi has nothing to do with 2G/3G, so it being off doesn't mean the CELULAR network is off...
Or... what did you mean?

*Edit* Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to never.
It seems like the Wi-Fi goes to "sleep" on the DHD. I installed VLC Remote a little while ago, and after 1-2 minutes the controller will not work. I had to quit the app and reconnect for it to work.
I did a test by pinging the DHD from my computer while the VLC Remote was active, turned off the screen several times. It worked perfect!
I then stopped the pinging and after 1-2 minutes the VLC Remote stopped responding. I pressed the pause button several times, nothing happened.
Then I started the ping back up (the VLC Remote was still open) and after a 2-3 "Request canceled" (no ping reply back from the phone) it got a response from the ping and the VLC Remote worked again.
Is there any way to make the Wi-Fi not go to "sleep"? It's annoying me to stop/start the remote every time I want to pause the movie.
I tried turning Best Wi-Fi performance on, but that didn't help
Thanks!
select the wifi settings, then press the menu button and select advanced, change the wifi sleep policy to never and your laughing

Thanks for the reply fkofilee. It's already set to "never". Updated the original post and title with it.
I restarted the phone and did some more testing.
As long as the screen is on there are no problems (VLC Remote responds), but when I hit the on/off button on the top of the phone to turn the screen off and turn the screen back on after a couple of minutes, VLC Remote will not respond. I have to ping the phone for VLC Remote to respond again.
Any suggestions?
same here, have to disconnect/connect to wifi to get it going again. Really frustrating when my exchangesync fails. Work as a IT-administrator and have to get serverfails reported as soon as possible.

I also have this issue its so annoying. I could be connected to wifi and have bars and then go to download something from the market it will pause and when I go into network setting its says wifi is authenticating but it doesnt change so I have to turn off and back on to get it working again. I had a Iphone 3gs and never had wifi issues like this.

I don't think we have the same problem. Downloading seems fine. When I ping it (while running VLC Remote), it works fine. I can shut the screen off, turn it back on 10 min later and it works fine. It seems like it goes into a type of "sleep mode" when there is no active traffic to/from the phone.
I sent an e-mail to HTC about this problem. I'll keep you guys updated.
Dont know if you do or are into mods but if you root your phone and flash clockwork mod you could try and push a new wifi module using root explorer...or even flash a custom rom...Pretty sure this would fix it..
Depends how much you know about this stuff though..
I can help you through it if you want to...some people dont want to though and I cant blame them...

Thanks rixsta! I'm gonna do a custom ROM, but I'm gonna wait until Gingerbread is released and custom ROMs have been made for that.
Are you up for testing if this is a problem on your ROM? If so, is this fixed with a new wifi module?
*Edit* With LeeDroid 1.2 and Buzz 1,22Ghz v1.0.2 it fixed the problem! I also sent a mail to HTC and they have forwarded it to the programmers.

I'm using leedroid's Rom so can't test and I've just got it working great..but...why don't you just root with visionary and pay £2.50 for root explorer and move a new WiFi module...that's all you need..
Up to you really..you could use Apache oc kernel...you will need to s off with this method and buy setcpu from the market...if your going to be doing custom roms in the future then you will need to do this anyways...if you need help let me know...I can tell you where to get the WiFi file from...

My friend has the same problem and I don't want to install a custom ROM on her phone.
Any news regarding this issue?
I want to be able to turn off the Radio only so that when I'm Wire-Tethered to my PC and playing a game I don't get any calls or texts to slow down my connection or be disturbed.
I found a thread in general where someone advised using tasker but it's $6 and I just want to be able to disable radio only. Airplane mode kills everything.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
There has to be a way...
There might be a way to do it via dial pad commands. I know that I was able to do this on a Droid in the past. I'm looking into, but make no promises.
edit:
Ok, this is what I've come up with.
*#INFO*1111# - Testing mode
Go into Phone Info...
Scroll down to Set preferred network type:
CDMA only
This should make it so the only cellular connection would be a data connection.
For my phone WCDMA Preferred is the default, which should be what you want to go back to to allow phone calls again.
Let me know if that works for you?
There's an app I used when I was on Eclair called Widgetsoid. It was the ability to toggle pretty much anything u can think of on your phone. I havent installed it since upgrading to Froyo so I can't verify that it can do what you need but its free and probably worth the download in any case. Check it out and let me know.

details of what this app can do are on the developer's website:

Doesn't list being able to disable text/voice while keeping data alive.

No it doesn't but I tried it anyway and found that no, it really doesn't. Thanks for trying though. I'm having a brainfart on typing letters into the dialer... how is that done again?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Just goto the phone dialer and type in those exact *,# and numbers (info is 4636)
once you put in the last # it will take you to the "testing" menu.
Let me know how it goes.
OK, I see it... will let you know how it works... Also, aren't our phones supposed to be set to CDMA? It had unknown and now it shows WCDMA. Isn't this the cause of the TWS bug?

Happy to help. I'm not sure exactly why it starts with WCDMA and then goes to unknown, haven't really looked into it too much.

It is the cause of the TWS bug. Our phones are constantly searching for a gsm signal never to be found. Causing battery drain. It has to do with the Galaxy S i9000 being gsm and samsungs poor ability to make changes to the coding.
Sent from my always stock, froyo Epic
This actually assisted in correcting or at least varifying another problem's solution. I've seen forum discussions point to PRL updates solving the TWS issue but other say it doesn't. However I installed sprintzone and let it install the PRL for my area. In doing so it set the default radio search shown using steve's info trick shown above. And no more TWS after reboots.
Woohoo!

I want to intentionally disable the phone from making any phone calls. I'm running cm7.1 on my evo and I want it to be like a dedicated mp3 player with android market access.
I don't want to use airplane mode; I'm looking for a more permanent solution that can't be easily toggled.
I tried freezing com.android.phone and the dialer storage with titanium backup, but then market compatibility broke. Market returned server error.
Possible fixes (that I've thought of) :
Disabling radio driver?
Tricking market to not depend on phone?
Some phone or cm setting I'm missing?
Permanent airplane mode that still doesn't bug out wifi?
I know on cm builds of tablets (nook color and gtab) know that its a tablet and not a phone, and doesn't come with a phone option. Short of compiling my own build of cm7 (which if it's easy enough ill do), is there a way to trick cm7 into thinking it's a tablet?

Airplane mode is the only way. Once you turn it on, it's really not easy to turn it back off, you have to go to settings-wireless and networks.

Is there a way to set it and remove the option?
I know on Ubuntu Linux, specifically grub bootloader, and each of the options were available to edit on a conf file. I edited mine on my computer and added and deleted lines on mine. Does the android setting rely on a similar conf file?

Sorry I realize that's not too helpful, but I will check back here tomorrow and if you didn't find it, I'll post a link.

EDIT: after reading the thread, i kinda don't want to rock sense. that thread isn't applicable is it? i'll try forking around with my cm7.1.zip and see if i can get similar results.
FFS, if you're the one that's gonna be using it, then just don't make calls. You can always toggle Airplane mode off, btw, to use the market.
Just flash amon ra and r2r going green, its sense 3.0 very stable & clean. It's got a built in option to turn off radio

Two posts above completely missed the point.
A) IM NOT LOOKING FOR AIRPLANE MODE SETTING UNDER WIRELESS AND NETWORKS.
B) IM NOT USING SENSE. JUST NO.
c) what I am looking for is a configuration file, and if you've never edited grub or Apache etc, you'll never understand what I mean. I haven't tried the apk removal yet, but I will in a sec
Thanks for your help pointing to the apk removal thread, but I'm hoping for real developer suppot here

Goodluck finding dev help. They are few and far between for the EVO anymore. I suggest downloading the Android sdk, finding some threads on here and other forums and learning it yourself. Biting the hand that feeds isn't going to help.
Boo
solved. Procedure:
1 Flash cm7 and gapps.
2 Let all the gapps install and update in the background.
3 Install titanium backup from newest updated market.
4 Make backup of dialer and dialer storage (com.android.phone and com.android.telephony)
5 Uninstall phone, and battery pull when it force close loops
6 Uninstall dialer storage after the reboot finishes
7 Wifi should still work the market!

Not had this myself, sounds like the cellular connection is going to sleep and not waking when your note 2 polls for a connection. Are you on a stock rom or a custom, can you post your android version number as well, will help anyone else who posts who may have more information for you.
If your rooted you could try pulling a log at the time you switch connections see if that yields any useful data.
Same here on a german device. I use manually select the Provider. Then it connect. Thank you for the tip with the airplane mode. But I search a way to kick this big. In a german forum a member says that a Fullwipe helps.

Its a stock rooted ROM version JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1
Can anyone tell me what to look for in order to create a log? (I don't expect a tutorial just someone point me in the right direction).
The problem is intermittent.

Give this a go, should allow you to create a log during the time you have the problem then you can see what android is or is not doing at the time.

Not something I have had myself but my gf has this same problem with her gs3. After having a look around our seems to be fairly common on the gs3 so any help with a fix would be great. I can only assume that it's something that will be fixed with a fw update from Samsung.

Benn running MOAR v2.2 for a few days and love it. But I've noticed something when wifi is turned on. If I'm on the wifi settings screen, I can see it scanning about every 5-6 seconds for new wifi signals, even though I'm signed into my home router with a good signal.
Network notification is turned off. I'm running the stock kernel.
Couldn't find anything in the moar thread about this.
Wondering if it's just me or if others also have this happening but just haven't noticed? Because you wouldn't know unless you're on the wifi settings screen with wifi turned on.
Can anyone verify this?
Any ideas on how to make it stop constantly scanning?

Well, this has nothing to do with your rom or kernel...thats just how the wifi is implemented. And you cant turn it off, unless you want to use wifi at all that is, this is to make sure you still have wifi access and to update the wifi networks that show up listed
You can make the scan interval longer by setting the "wifi_supplicant_scan_interval" (or something along those lines) to a higher value in your build.prop (located at /system/build.prop)
