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?

I think I might just keep charging mine but leave juice installed because I like the push notifications so ill disable juice for now!

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!
Damn, sorry but i'm a little pissed right now.
I would like to ask any of you fellows if the latest offcial update had any bad effects on your device ?
I have random crashes. When i try to restart it i get the white stupid HTC screen and nothing happens for a while then it restarts again from that point.
If i let it like that it will do this for about 10-15 mins. then it will eventually start.
(Ok, i just noticed that it isnt charging anymore...and when i try to unlock the screen it will turn it off.)
(After a couple of reboots it is charging again)
ffs !!!
Footnote.
I am running a standard Desire, not rooted, very few apps, no task killer.
What to do now ?
Well, now i go to work tomorrow like an idiot and will be nice with every one of my colleagues laughin at me.
YOu know, when all your colleagues use their company iPhones and you try to prove how awesome your Android is and after a couple of weeks your phones doesnt work anymore ppl will laugh at you.
So in the end i think, millions of ppl around the world should not be wrong after all.
make a gold card and flash the full generic ROM to your phone
if that doesn't work then you need to return it
No problem here works fine if not slightly better. The problem with forums is that people generally only post problems. I've seen many other posts with people reporting no issues on stock device. Could be due to an app you have.

The point is, the phone was working properly till the update.
I updated my phone yesterday as well with the OTA update. Now my phone discharges from 100% to 93% instantly from taking it off charge. I know this is an on going problem that has been happening to people since the phones launch, but mine was fine, it never did that until today.. the first time I charged it since I did the update. Coincidence? Somehow I think not
I guess the first thing to do would be a factory reset.
I have the latest update on my Desire and everything works great, certain things are better.
I'll give it a hard reset tonight when I have the time to put all the settings back to how I want. I don't want to loose all my save data on some of my games though, like totemic.. I wont play it again if I have to some of those levels again lol
My phone has just shut down by itself and the only way I was able to start it was by pulling the battery. I have the phone for some time and it's the first time something like this has happened so it has to be because of the update. Also, right after the update some of my widgets (Messages and Wi-Fi) were gone! Battery life seems worse.
I had a few problems when i updated too. but a factory reset made everithing work like a charm. (unrooted)

Bad idea there... You're going to have issues with returning it after flashing a generic ROM...
Have any of the networks actually rolled out this update?
I agree with the battery life being A LOT worse after the update. And I did flash the whole generic Rom onto it. My battery life was amazing before the update. I think it must be something to do with the radio, as they changed it in the update. Gutted now as I can't downgrade again either.

You can flash an older radio without changing the rom, but I think it you need to root first.
My battery life is awesome on this rom. My phones been off charge for 15 hours and its at about 70% now. Any other rom I've used previously custom or stock have given me far worse results.
Interesting to see how there is such a mixed bag of results.
Hi, after I updated OTA I lost WiFi after a couple of days, not immediately... I read here that removing battery helps so I did it. The problem is gone (for now at least)
But I don't want to remove the battery every few days.

Well, just did a hard reset.
The phone wasn't turning on anymore.
It doesn't seem to work better either.
I still get the white startup screen and thats it.
No access to the phone, occasionally after a few tries it will login.
Really disappointed.

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?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Tasker is a app that can do that, and much more.
http://tasker.dinglisch.net
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.

I bought Tasker a long time ago, but at some point just kind of gave up on it. Cm7 had a quiet time thing I liked and without it I thought I'd try it again. Unfortunately it's very complicated to get working the way I want it, I'm looking for suggestions.
Here's what I'd like:
Turn wifi on and Bluetooth off at home,
Turn off wifi and turn Bluetooth on when I leave.
Make phone silent at night.
Turn 4G off at work.
My main requirements are that it needs to be more accurate than cell towers so my Bluetooth doesn't turn off when I drive around town. (wifi detect works ok on llama) My main goal is to save battery. I know Tasker can do all these, but it is complicated and I'd like something simpler.

Maybe Locale? Don't know if it will silence your phone based on time of day, but it should accomplish the rest on your list.
Use NFC Tasker (much simpler than Tasker) and some NFC tags...
Timeriffic will do all of that based on times. Other than Locale I don't know of many apps that work the same way.

This program is quite good actually:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama
You can even make it work with cellular location instead of GPS Location. Was quite good when i tried it a while back, but i hate running services (all of those location-based apps are running as services in the background) so i ended up doing everything manually.

+1 for this, I have used it for a long time and works great. based on time of day.
I have 1 setting for driving to work, then 1 for when I get to work. Antoerh when I leave work and drive home, next for when I get home. Then anther for sleeping.
Different ones for weekdays (work) and weekends.
Thanks for the response guys, but for some reason llama seems flaky to me. I'd rather not use a time schedule.

There is one called "automateit", free and pro version. I bought it but don't remember much about it. Something made me go back to tasker.
Have you tried Setting Profiles?

Have you tried using the Maps profile addons with Llama? It works pretty good. When you use it with combanation with the cell towers that it has learned.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.LlamaMap
I have a simliar setup as you. It works great.
When I am in the neighborhood turn on wifi (as I visit friends with wifi as well)
When I leave the neighborhood turn off wifi
at a certain time on the weekdays and weekends it turns the ringer down and eventually off
weekdays and certain time it goes to airplane mode.
Then of course it all goes back to normal before I am awake.
A few other rules as well depending if I am at a family members house or a friends store/work.
So I end up saving a little bit of battery and not being woken up by mail/txt notifications :-D
You have to fiddle wit Llama a bit more then the others that's the only down side for some people who might not get it.

Llama is not flaky at all. I was using on SGS and now on the GN and it works great.
Use cel tower locations and times together, or you can just use times.
Eg. at work 8am-5pm silent
at home 7am-10pm loud, wifi on
at home 10pm-7am quiet mode
Works great. Only issue at times is when/if new cel towers arrive. You have to occasionally train or manual tag the cel towers.
Very easy to use app IMO but if you just want time based profiles you can use something easier. We have RAM to spare, the service is not intensive and never shows up on my battery use list. It can toggle/change many settings if you want.
+1 for automateit.

I'm going to give llama another shot. My big thing is that cell towers are not accurate enough and wifi polling wasn't working right. I set polling on, but changed the interval to never and it seems to be working.
If not I'll give automatit a shot.
Thanks guys.

On a related note, I'm after an app which will allow me to set reminders based on my location, using cell towers rather than GPS. Just something which will remind me to pick up milk when I'm in town, nothing more.
You can take a look at AutomateIt user guide at the following links:
User guide
Location Trigger user guide
Cell Id Trigger user guide
I have gave up using Tasker since they increased there price without any sense.
Also they got few bugs but couldn't fix
So I moved on to app Called Smart Volume Control
It's Actually pretty impressive application with lot of features on it.
I recommend You smart Volume Control to try out
They gor Free Version too.
Free Version :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.directservices.SmartVolumeControl
Paid Version :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.directservices.SmartVolumeControlPlus
I have been using for some time Llama. I think is a great program for automatic control.
In connection with cell / timing everything is possible.

Any tips/tricks/tweaks (for stock OneX with Tegra3) more than much appreciated... Even just toggling to homescreen to check something closes the app, when you come back it restarts, if it is a web session (does not matter whatever browser it is) and you were logged in somewhere, you have to log on again, needless to say you loose your stuff data/text you left there before switching.
Although i like OneX too much, i am seriously thinking about leaving htc for ever due to that and also because of the Wi-fi policy issue in my beloved OneX, it is also similar. After screen off then on, you find wi-fi went sleep and trying to reconnect, if you are/were sharing media streaming through dlna, it stops as soon as wifi goes sleep. Also the remote apps are becoming useless due to same as you need to re-establish connection each time you wake your phone.
The only manufacturer/device in Android world which deserves to go after OneX is SONY imho, especially the latest Z is seemed a super phone.

You can get WiFi to connect by either switching off the option in power saving mode, or in advanced WiFi settings.

U cant do that in stock ROM.atleast in non rooted devices.If u root and install a custom ROM then its possible.U can adjust the way multitasking is done in some ROM.ViperX JB is released so do give it a thought.Its the best ROM out there.
