Hey guys,
need some help with my htc desire. Just bhought it couple of days back. Everything worked good, until today, as wifi turned itself off after 10-15 min on standby and automatically connects to 3G instead. Even if i turn on the wifi, it will say that the wifi is on, but its not actually connected I have to restart the phone for it to connect with wifi again. And the same thing goes over and over again. Has this happened to anyone?
Please help! :S
I have the orignal firmware, not rooted.
Sort of happening to me too, but after the phone is asleep for long periods, like overnight.
For the past few days, I leave it with WiFi on when I go to sleep, I wake up and WiFi was off. I switch it back on and the phone doesn't seem to use wifi, or it does but just hangs.
Only started happening after the last hard reset, was working fine before that.
I do have the sleep after 15mins setting on, but obviously that shouldnt switch off the wifi, just let it sleeps and should reconnect after waking up.
Waiting for a exchange for another phone due to another issue, but will keep an eye on this, might be the Setting Profile app I've installed that's causing the issue.
My wifi switched off by itself after going standby for sometime.
After I wake up the phone, it will reconnect to the wifi. Not sure if there's app to prevent the wifi from going into standby though.

I have been using the phone for 6 days now, before this my phone could be on wifi all night, and when turned on in the morning the wifi will still be connected. Its strange this should happen now. I installed juicedefender yesterday and than uninstalled it again after trying it..might this has affected my wifi settings.
That's weird. I did installed Juice Defender and uninstalled it as well. Not sure if that's the cause. will do some search and see what I can find out.
FOUND!
We can actually control the Wifi Sleep policy by going to Settings> Wireless & Networks> Wifi Settings> Menu >Advanced> Wifi sleep policy!
Change it to never and it should work as before.

Yes, I know about that setting, but once you wake up the phone, it should wake the wifi and it should reconnect. This is not happening, and in some cases it does switch back on and connects, but doesn't get onto the internet. Seems the phone is still trying to use the cellular network.
Leave it on all the time eats up battery, so rather have it on sleep after 15mins

wow..ur fast..thanks! will try out this..and see until tomorrow if my phone is still shifting from 3g and wifi all the time
edit: yup..this was the reason. So now my wifi is connected 24/7 very happy for this as when it switched off before it started to use my 3G..i dont have unlimited plan so why pay for addional when u can use wifi at home
I have set the Wifi policy to "Always on".
Many times (but not every time) when my One X goes into sleep mode, all data connections don't work. I notice it because I feel so strange there is no notification from Whatsapp and Line as usual. So, I press the power button and see no data connection at all. After a few second, 3G data connection appears but no wifi. Wifi then replaces 3G a few second later.
It usually happens and I feel so annoyed as I lost communication with my colleagues when One X is sleeping.
Is there somewhere in "Setting" that can override the "Always on" in Wifi policy? If I miss it, please let me know.
I feel very disappionted with my One X as it contains a lot of bugs.

It's happening to me too, it's very frustrating because when turned on it show as connected while it's false.. and i'm unable to browse/etc without re enabling wifi manually.
Same issue on the One S. This is most likely a driver related problem or something. I think the next firmware update should fix this, but if anyone of you can provide a hotfix or something I wouldn't be sad
Getting the exact same problem.
I have not noticed this so far.
same problem with wifi....and in the nights my Data also gets switched off after sometime of inactivity...couldnt find any setting related to that....do any of you know any hidden setting for it?
Yeah it happening to me as well. It could be kernel related.
Same Here
Mine is opposite, I want it to sleep on screen off but it keeps reverting to always on. Quite frustrating as it is the major cause of my battery loss
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Mine uses less battery with wifi on then normal 3g/4g

yeah same here, i've tested both over night and less battery used on wi-fi than 3g
I cant connect to my home wifi, it show connected then disconnect immediate
it no usaable now in my house
I just noticed this, too. Really annoying when you suddenly stop getting any notifications for E-Mails etc.
This is also not fixed in 1.28 :/.
I seem to only have this during the night hours, though. Like there is some sort of "Quiet Hours"-function but they forgot to put it in the settings >_<
I think this is the special Sleep Mode kicking in, and the WiFi Always-On is overridden by it.
When I turn the screen off, I can still ping my One X over the network. However, after some time (maybe 5-10 mins) it no longer responds and has dropped its WiFi connection.
The Always-On WiFi option has only ever applied to when the screen is off. The sleep mode thing is new and not related to android itself - an HTC hardware thing by the look of it.
Maybe it's fixable in the driver software, but I believe the "WiFi always on" function is behaving correctly - it's the new sleep state that is breaking it.
I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like.
If someone has the time, try setting up a PC to continuously ping the One X and see if it keeps it from going in to sleep mode.

Hello Dave,
Your analysis is quite impressive,
I also started dealing with this from "Special Sleep Mode" perspective.
I have got the FOTA, find data in my signature, and still suffering from the same issue.
To summarize my findings let me brief it:
When I first got the update, the problem seemed to be solved
I kept connected to my home WiFi router for several hours and got notifications from Whatsapp and Twitter
I thought the problem was solved and the bug was fixed, as I kept seeing my OneX on the WiFi Client on my router's managing interface on my PC
I shut down my phone, WiFi was on, and turn it back on
WiFi kicked in and connected with no problems,
An hour after, I sensed something wasn't good, notifications were silenced
I unlocked my phone and checked the status bar to find there were no DATA connections at all, nothing, no WIFi no Mobile Data, the usual bug
Now I started to think,
I Have got this problem after a full shut down, and at a battery below 15%
One thing to add,
I turned my phone off with WiFi enabled and when turned it on WiFi kicked in.
Now I am monitoring on the following basis.
I clicked all WiFi hot spots previously saved on my OneX and chose to "FORGET"
Connected to my preferred hotspot
Monitoring the WIFI, with battery over 15%, seems to be very healthy, more than an hour on sleep mode, and WiFi is on, uninterrupted and VERY CONNECTED
I will keep monitoring the behaviour till battery fall under 15% and will report back
I'll make sure to turn off WiFi before shutting down my phone if I have to, this is to eleminate the other variable and keep concentarting on one variable "Battery percentage"
A point to add:
On my previous Gingerbread SensationXE, there was an option on Settings> Battery to control phone's behavior and stop background sync and other activities when battery fall below a pre-defined percentage.
Default was 15%
I can't find this option on my One X, IceCream Sandwich
That's why I started to analyse the problem from the perspective of "Special Sleep Mode - Below 15%" bahaviour.
I will report back as soon as I have results.
Thank you
Update:
Started to experience same issue when battery falls below 50%.
All DATA gone down, no WiFI and no Mobile Data.
Charged my phone to 73%, "Forget" all WiFi network.
WiFi off
Monitoring Mobile Data only.
Mobile data gone down after 30 minutes sleep mode, 73% battery
Connecting to WiFi, and started monitoring WiFi
WiFi + Mobile Data gone down after 30 minutes.
Power down phone, and then on, 73% Battery, WiFi off
Monitoring Mobile Data only.
Failed, and disconnected
Failure
I've done a Factory Reset !!!
Update:
No problems on WiFi, nor Mobile data whatsoever for the whole day until battery falls below 10% !!!
WiFi disconnected after exactly 15 minutes, Mobile data kicks in, then disconnected as well !!!
I turn on the screen after 20 minutes to find NO DATA CONNECTION of any kind.
Mobile data kicks in, WiFi replaces mobile data, and start receiving all data dependent notifications!!!
I have the same problem, wifi is turned off sometimes when screen is locked.

Hello Pabson,
Thanks for sharing.
Would you provide more information about your phone's software number, your location (Region, not specific).
Thanks again.
Same here, tried several roms and the same happens with every ROM out there. What is more, I cannot connect to WIFI at work (WPA PSK) but I can connect perfectly to my home WIFI network.
Hopefully this is not a hardware fault and will be fixed.

If it happens on every single rom you you installed, then apparently this is a hardware fault.
What "Base" do the Roms, you installed, created on?!
I mean based on what version of RUU?
same problem here.
I mis the "power saving mode" options like in android 2.3
It might idd have something to do with power savings mode kicking in.
Something weird happens. I am connected to wifi calling all the time when I am home because I get zero bars here. For some reason though, whenever I dont touch the phone for a lil while, whenever someone calls it goes straight to voicemail. Does not even ring. Almost as if there is no signal, which of course there is. I also randomly call my cell from phones here to see if it happens and they get through fine. Like I said, its only when I have not touched the phone for a while.
I am completely stock.
I have the wifi sleep policy on NEVER and the wifi calling settings on wifi preferred.
Any ideas what can cause this?
Also, cell standby says the entire time I have been on battery, I have almost 100 percent non signal. That happened with my amaze also but it never made me miss calls because it was always on wifi calling.
Any idea of what can be causing this, or what I can do to stop it. Using GB btw, not ICS
bump
Stock GB?
Yup.. Stock Gb
I have just got a note 2 LTE from Vodafone and the wifi seems to be constantly connected all the time if i'm in range of a network. I have checked all the standard settings wifi never on with screen off, *#0011# wifi deep sleep on etc and still my battery info was a solid blue line under wifi.
Does anyone else have this problem? or any suggestions?
I am starting to think it's the Vodafone Bloatware thats installed that maybe keeping the wifi one?
You mean to say that the wifi is always on even if you are not in a range of network?
That's normal behaviour.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Hi
This is normal for both wifi and bluetooth if you have them activated. Doesn't suck much battery though as I'm at 1% when in deep sleep with both running.
Send from my GNote 2 what else...
Is there any way to make sure my WiFi doesn't turn on spontaneously when I don't want it on? I've had this problem from day one and through several different ROM flashes. I've never had the "WiFi optimization" option turned on, the "Scanning always available" option in CM turned off (my current ROM) and "Keep WiFi on during sleep" set to "Never." Yet still, it just randomly turns on. In fact, sometimes I'll look at my phone, realize that WiFi is on, turn it off and it comes back on a second or two later. Is there maybe a different kernel I can flash that will prevent this issue?
This happens to me at least once a day and it really makes me wonder how much battery this is being drained from my WiFi constantly trying to connect.

What ROM are you on? I am on the latest unofficial liquid smooth and I noticed that also. I would always use quick settings though to turn off WiFi. But now when i go into settings and shut it off it stays off

Mine has done that from day 1 on stock. Its annoying but still minor.
