Multitasking and wifi policy drive me crazy! - HTC One X

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.
see the thread for more info:

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

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!

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] App/service initiate wifi/gps

With my Nokia E65 running apps (Opera Mini, IM software) it will turn on (and off) wifi/gps when needed, so that it's done automatically in the background without having to turn on the wifi function just to open a website.
Is this possible on Android/HTC Desire? I keep having to turn wifi on then off for using an app, why isn't this handled automatically on a need-to-use basis by the app/os itself?
Some apps can enable wifi, its not the desires fault, that the devs of the particular apps your talking about, hasnt bothered to include that feature....
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
and i dare say apps cant auto activate gps as a security feature, so no1 can gain your geo position without your permission

I thought some would, but even the built-in browser doesn't for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Gameloft games ask and can turn the wifi on without you needing to exit the app

Can I give my Desire to my kid?

So after two long years of using, what I can only describe as the most stable phone I've ever used, I've upgraded to a galaxy s3.
My 2 daughters generally fight over who can use the iPod to watch BBC iPlayer when they goto bed at night, or when they're bored during the day..
I now have a phone sitting in a drawer and it got me thinking If there is any way I can give my desire a new lease of life and give it to my daughter to use for accessing the BBC website? That way one can watch on the iPad, the other on the desire.
I'm only concerned about them using the phone to call the emergency services by accident. Is there anyway I can disable the phone for making calls an still keep the wireless/functionality the same ?
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe you can hide call/dialer button from the app drawer (try apps like audio manager-you can lock/hide anything with this app. Also you can remove dialer icon from home screen
And just try searching on market there must be a way to disable it with some app
Also our good friend Google can always help you good luck

Airplane Mode Wifi Tool on Playstore is another alternative. Enables wifi on airplane mode.

Desire losing mobile network connection and will not turn back on.

I'm having a problem with an HTC Desire from Australia being used in the US on AT&T.
My father had this phone for a very long time. Since stock suited his needs for so long, I never bothered to S-OFF. Recently he was running out of space on his phone. I got S-OFF, flashed Supernova Rom and partitioned his SD card with 4ext Recovery, giving him 1.36GB to play with. Everything seemed to go fine until 3 days after the Rom upgrade.
His phone's mobile network keeps turning off and staying off. When I go to the quick settings tab, in an attempt to reset the mobile network, it doesn't allow me to turn it back on nor off. It's like the option is disabled. The only way to reset the network is by going in and out of airplane mode, but after time, even that one becomes disabled. The only way to reset from that point is by a full reboot.
I was getting com.andoid.phone force closing on me but I have fixed that by uninstalling facebook. I have tried 5 different radios so far and each one has the same problem. Works for 15 minutes to an hour then shuts off the mobile network. Leaves nothing but an X and no bars and never reconnects on it's own.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please fill me in. I don't know what I should try next.
Maybe its not software issue but hardware? Try to backup actual ROM(e.g. using Recovery) and install official 2.3 HTC Sense and find out if problem still exist.

Thanks. Will give it a shot. I'll check back in with results.
Go to settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks and check if you have access point names configured. I'm pretty sure that the upgrade deleted them and if it's like that do a fresh install.

If you need to restart connections you may not need to reboot. There is a utility in Play store called Restart Connections which does a reset of your connections. It works for me when I am in a low signal area and phone gives up after sometime.

CM 10.2 Nightly issue

I can't post in the CM10 thread, so I'm posting here. Overall I love the look and bloat free feel of cm10.2, but I have an issue that I want to get out there to see if it's a software issue or a problem with my phone only. For some reason my phone WiFi refuses to scan automatically or on demand. If it is connected at home and I go to work the phone won't automatically connect to my work WiFi like it would on other Roms. When I try to tell it to scan it won't and will continue to show my home WiFi as the only network available, even though I am miles away at that point. The only work around I've found is to reboot the phone, and then it grabs the network with no problem. It seems that the only time my phone will scan for new networks is after a reboot. Once connected WiFi works fine. Anyways I wanted to get this issue out there.

Sounds like something is wrong. Could very well be rom related, but it could be hardware also. I would venture to say it's rom related.
Simple solution. Pick any TW rom, create a nandroid and flash the TW rom and see if the phone works correctly? Probably will voila your answer is at your fingertips.

mine notifies me of open networks when I leave wi-fi on do see how it would be software related unless another app is messing with it
Yeah this problem started when I switched from MOAR to the cm.
