*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...
Again up to you...

I have the same problem too, but it only happens with the mail application and the market, while the browser and XDA app works without having to reconnect the wireless connection.
Suggestions?

My friend has the same problem and I don't want to install a custom ROM on her phone.
Any news regarding this issue?
ok my proplem is i can't download from market on my data plan.
here is what I did :
tried with wifi : work correctly
re-connected to gmail + talk : still not working
did hard reset : still not working
flashed back 2.3.2 : still not working
sometimes it works with data plan, but for 1 app and I still can't update my apps with data plan.
what you guys think ? could it be with my network provider ?
It's a phone I bought from rogers, unlocked it and using it on telus network (in canada). When I first went with telus, everything was working perfect.
Last monday, I used root explorer to remove bloatware. I removed everything safe in the list from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470. But I removed an app called Telus Menu. I put it back when flashed again to get root, and still not working. Maybe I disconnected something at telus network ?
can you help me out ?
Think it may be a market or app problem rather than the phone I have been having problems for the last few days and nothing in my set up has changed recently

you are having same problems as me ?
I'm glad to ear that, no offense. I'm not alone having problems.
Curious how it is affecting some but not others. Wonder if its account specific or phone specific. I assume if someone did a flash it must be account specific... Odd thing to screw up either way.
Can you go to the android.com market on your PC and have it show up on your phone that way?
for me older market seems work fine. this new 3.1.5 seems to be buggy for me.
For me some apps can't be downloaded/updated. For example I had 5 updates yesterday and 4 updated with out issue but one couldn't update.
I've had some issues with the latest Market as well. What I've had to do several times is:
- make sure "update automatically" is NOT set for any apps
- go to My Apps and for any that show updates available select and try to update manually. If that fails, press the back button and now check the "update automatically" box.
- Exit from Market (kill the Market app if you have task killer or something similar so it is really and truly gone otherwise you will have to restart the phone)
- Now go back into Market and try to update the same app again
hi there,
I just bought a brand new Galaxy Nexus and it was working fine - over the last couple of weeks - up to the point when I loaned it out to my brother, now he won't admit to any wrong doings but my precious phone is not functioning properly. My data usage menu in the settings won't open, the settings 'app' - if you can call it that - crashes, none of my social networking apps load and to top it all off; the internet on my phone only works on the Chrome app, it won't work on Opera or the standard browser - just on Chrome.
I've tried to search for if anybody has ever had this issue but couldn't find anything so I joined XDA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you don't know what he did, I suggest factory reset.
already tried that but it didn't work...
So did he load a custom ROM or root and change system files then? Theres nothing normal he could change w/o rooting that wouldn't be wiped out by doing a factory reset.
don't know... he won't admit to anything... sigh younger brothers... sometimes you just want to slap the **** out of them.
is there a fix for this or am I doomed?. sorry but I am not a very tech-savvy person.

Okay well when you start the device (from an off state), at the black splash screen where it says "Google", is there an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen? This will indicate that he's unlocked the bootloader and probably messed with something.
Also, what's your "about phone" screen look like?
If he has messed with anything in the system, chances are I'm going to end up recommending you flash the stock images and start over.
UPDATE: got the data usage menu to open but its completely non-responsive once it opens which does take quite some time. found out that my data services are on and yet Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/etc... won't load.
did the whole 'volume+power button' reset and its still not working. Should I just take it back to the dealer?

Yeah... so he hasn't rooted or loaded a custom ROM. Not sure how he could have messed up much without doing that. Not sure if anyone else has any ideas. I'm at a loss right now.

When you have active data connection at the moment you can't see the usage.. Please disconnect or switch to wifi and after that check your usage..

I've never not been able to check my data usage no matter my network state. OP's Settings screen is actually crashing when he tries to go to it, among other issues. He's having more problems than just not being able to see Data Usage.
Hello everyone, this is my first post here, so be nice!
For starters, i have the European HTC One X. I've been having trouble rooting it, but I finally managed it! So, when it was rooted, I noticed that my phone didn't ask for my PIN code. I thought it had something to do with the SIM card not being correctly in place, but i checket it, and it was ok. I checked the Settings, and on Airplane mode, it says "turning off" without me turning it either on or off. I cant press anything there, and when i try to turn it off through holding down the power button, nothing is happening.
Its been a few hours, and I've tried to unroot, factory reset and other stuff. Tell me if you need more info, and I'll be thankful for all answers! I really need help here!
I think I have the same issue, could u check in setting about phone to see if your imei number and baseband is showing?.. mine shows as "unknown".. I have flashed multiple roms and run the ruu several times and I still have the same problem.

I tested, and it just says as headliner "IMEI", and lower down the option to say "ok". Nothing more, nothing less. What does it mean?

A Box should pop up,
Saying IMEI in the top grey box, whilst showing a long number in the middle white box.
If you have nothing in the middle, no long number - sorry to say, but it's 'bricked'
You won't get a working sim on a corrupt IMEI, and it seems you have deleted yours.
I assume your attempts to root as corrupted & broken your IMEI, I would never recommend one root click programs - always best to just use a custom Rom.

The box is popping up, but no long number. Not any number at all.
Well.. since its bricked.. If i use a fabric restore, would anybody be able to see that i had it rooted?
And btw, i thought if it was bricked, i couldn't do anything at all?
Because i can still connect to Wifi, and download apps and stuff

I believe your phone is bricked,
Unless you had a backup of your EFS folder which contains your IMEI, I don't think there is a way to restore it.
Because the IMEI is gone, no sim card will work, and you'll be limited to emergency calls only and wifi I think.
Maybe someone else can respond to verify this, but in my opinion - it doesn't look good for your phone (sorry to be the bearer of such bad news)
Hopefully someone will enter the thread to disagree with me, but that's just what I think.

Well, it is sad news indeed, but i really appreciate that you could give me the news. I have been googling like a maniac for a few days now, and noone could give me a clear answer. But do you think i will be able to return the phone if i turn it back to factory reset?
I've had this imei problem on my motorola defy (locked bootloader) and wasn't reading my sim after installing defy+ cm10 JB nightlies, but i recovered the phone to default using leaked radio flasher and it was fixed. Dunno if this could be fixed by an ruu flash but since its bricked what you got to lose ?
Hello again. I just found the receipt/bill (dunno in english) from when i bought the phone. There is a IMEI number there. Can i use it for something? For unbricking the phone, I mean.
Flashing the ruu doesn't fix the problem, I have done it many times and it still remains unknown. I believe the efs folder does not relate to HTC phones. It seems we are very much bricked! I tried sending it to HTC for warranty repair but because it has been unlocked they say the warranty is void..

Well f*ck. I bought insurance for it (when i bought it), and have reset to factory settings. Would anyone by ANY possibility be able to see that i messed with the software? And if they ask if i rooted it, or flashed ROMs, could i say "huh, what is that? How do i do it?"
I'm gonna try atleast. Update you later on the day
Yes I'm afraid.. they can tell the bootloader has been unlocked.. even if u re-lock it, it shows as re-locked....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
Well, in that case.. I'll just deny it, and say i have no idea what a bootlocker, or loadbooter is..

It's best to:
Relock your bootloader
Flash the RUU that you need to get a fully stock device
And take it to the shop you bought it from, do not send it directly to HTC yourself - you want to always go through a middle man of possible.
.... And just hope.
Basically, as I first noticed - it looks like your rooting procedures have corrupted your IMEI leaving you with an unrecoverable device.
In the future, stay clear from one click root apps - best way to root has always been to flash a kernel or Rom that includes it.
Good luck and hope they ain't too fussy to give you a working device.

permanent airplane mode
I have a similar problem with my htc one x. yesterday I saw that it disconnected my SIM card so I rebooted my phome. After reboot it didnt find my SIM and stuck in permanent airplane mode (it shows like it turns off but it doesnt). I checked that my IMEI is unknown. Tried hard reset few times but it didnt work. My phone wasnt ROOTED or anything. Is there a way to deal with this problem without sending the phone to warranty?
Hey guys did rumrunners s-off yesterday , also did the remove red text mod and got rid of my tampered flag . After all that which went smooth I have no google now . Yes I have a data connection . Disentangle work on 4g or wifi . The search bar comes up but not the google now stuff . Any ideas ?

Hmm... This is the second I've heard of something like this... Maybe removing the text is causing it though I can't imagine why. I s-offed via rumrunners but didn't remove the text as it isn't a big deal. Either that or maybe you try flashing other Roms with same issue?
