I've stumbled on a strange issue.
If I switch the Desire to the Airplan mode when the Data connection is off (I use the appropriate HTC Data connection widget to do this), when I switch back to Airplan mode off, the phone is no more able to restore the data connection.
The only workaround found is to restart the phone.
Has anyone got the same experience?
Two questions.
1. When you say you switched off data connection, are you talking about syncing, wifi, mobile network, ... etc?
2. Why do you want to switch off data connection and turn on Airplane Mode? Doesn't Airplane Mode cater for shutting down all wireless?
1. I'm talking only about the "Data connection" option on "Wireless and networks" menu, that is switchable via a special HTC widget. Switching this option off, the phone is no more able to access to the GPRS provider. I often keep this option off to save battery life. I turn Data connection on, if I need to sync and access to Internet.
2. This is not the matter, just it happens. Eg. When I go to sleep, I turn the Airplane mode on, doesn't matter if the Data connection is on or off (it is possible that it is on) in order to avoid any disturbs (calls, sms, etc.).
I just wonder if this issue is a true bug of the phone:
1. Switch off Data connection
2. Switch on Airplane mode
3. Switch off Airlplane mode
4. Try to activate Data connection (for me it seems it's not possible without a reboot)
Had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: after the phone has been data connected via wifi and I leave the wifi network it often will not connect to data via mobile network (GPRS/3G), giving the message "connection failed" if I try to manually connect in the "mobile networks" section of the "wireless & networks" settings page.
It seems to have fixed itself now, and I think it's because I've since ticked the option to "enable always-on mobile data", which I had turned off to save battery. Give it a try.

Thanks yurikg, but on my phone the "enable always-on mobile data" option is checked, anche there is no mobile network connection problem coming back from a Wifi connection.
The problem I shown is probably caused coming back from Airplane mode.
The other possibility is Juicedefender which apparently is known to cause problems recovering a mobile data connection (recent update may have fixed this):

I've not juicedefender on my Desire...
I've in plan to do some other tests...
I have a problem with my Desire reconnecting to a mobile data connection too, but not when I come out of 'plane mode, its when I leave a Wifi covered area. It could be the same problem, triggered by anything that disables and then reactivates the data connection?
I have no solution yet, and I have contacted HTC support about it (still no reply). There is some discussion here:

I seem to be having this problem too when coming off WiFi connection, unfortunately restarting the phone has not righted the issue...
I'm also having this problem with the connections. Fine on the wifi at work and at home but not switching over to the mobile network. Apart from that the phone seems awesome! Soooooo much better and more fun than the HD2.
OK, my phone appears to have no network connection whatsoever in fact...
Have the same problem as well. Coming from Wifi and to mobile network only - I do not get any data coverage. This is for the Desire and I had the same problem with Legend.
I hope this will be worked out ASAP.
Well, my problems all sorted. Turns out I had to manually input the APN for internet, took me by surprise since no phone I've owned since 2006 has needed that...
Just had to put in the settings manually too. Seems there is an issue with some of them. Would put a link here but as i'm a newbie not allowed Just google vodafone apn settings for htc desire and hey presto
Same problem here, my Hero had it too. I found it did work when you switch to gsm only and back to 3g/gsm... Would love to hear good solutions.
Im also having the same problem.
If i try switching my connection from wifi to mobile data, my mobile data connection fails to work. A power cycle fixes the issue but if i try switching connections again, the problem returns.
Can I suggest to anyone still having problems getting their phone to switch to mobile data when leaving Wifi to view the following bug report on Google Code and to star it to help raise the priority with Google:

Thanks folks
I did something inadvertently and lost my 3g and data connections. As far as I can see, the settings are all right "Mobile network" is clicked under Wireless and Networks, the Mobile Icon is green -- but suddenly I lost 3g.
Could someone give me a checklist of things to do?
Desparately...
Joe
Have you maybe deleted your APN's?
menu>settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>access point names. Also while in thre check network mode is set to gsm/wcdma auto.
the access point I have is Orange Internet -- with juicedefender-orangeinternet underneath. Should there be another one?
Joe
Turn aeroplane mode on and off, if that doesn't work turn off and remove battery. Sounds like you've got an issue that many had and that I use to have.Do a search for the work around, try data connection issues. It was a pain for many data would occasionally just stop working. The new update apparently fixes it.
I would also try things with juicedefender turned off to see if it is causing any problems.
Have you also checked your network mode isn't set to use 2g only?
tried airplane off and on -- no luck. Ditto with battery out and juice defender disabled.
How do I check if Network mode is set to 2G? And how do I get the new upgrade?
(Many thanks for your help, by the way.)
Joe
I've had exactly the same issue.
First thing I did was delete the APN for the faster TMob speeds and reverted to default. This immediately made it work for a few moments before all data connection was lost.
So I then after trying the various things (ie airplane mode - can't remember what else - maybe switching off juice defender?), I did a factory reset. This solved things - until I reinstalled JD, and then the problem rearose. I ahve since binned JD, and I don't have any issue - just a rapidly decreasing battery level...
I just did a hard reset to switch to gmail!
Is there some way to uninstall juice defender?
Also, I just noticed that when I turn my Desire on, I no longer get the choice to choose HTC Sense -- what could have caused that?
Joe
If you performed a hard reset, then this should have deleted Juice Defender and all your pre-installed apps.
To delete it manually, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and select Juice Defender from the list and choose the Uninstall option.
To check if you network is set to 2G, go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Network Mode. If it shows GSM only selected, then it is set as 2G, set it to the GSM/WCDMA instead.
For Sense, go to Settings > Applications > Sense UI then clear defaults and force stop, then hit the home button and choose Home when given the option. You can then set it as default and turn it off or on.
Ta for that. 3g is still on, I've uninstalled Juice Defender and still no joy. (It had gone when I did the reset, but I installed it again. Didn't have any problem with it at first.) Strangely, I can't find Sense UI amongst the applications. Could the hard reset have deleted it?
Anyway, its beginning to look like another hard reset tonight, when I have access to wifi....
Joe
Apologies... it would show up as HTC Sense, not Sense UI
You can also try the HomeSwitcher app, to easily switch between launchers: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.ymst-android-homeswitcher-qEw.aspx
Hello,
i have the exact same trouble.... Lost of all data connexion! Wifi is working properly, but in 3G sometime i lose connexion and i m unable to connect back!
Only way to do it is to turn off the phone and turn it back in, and most of the time it works.
The thing i get since 2 days (since the update in fact) is that before i go to bed i surf a bit, its working, then i plug the phone and go to sleep... then on the morning, no more data connexion!
This is REALLY annoying, and i can't figure out why it is behaving like that.... i have APNdroid installed, but when i lost the connexion even if i try to enable/disable it, nothing to do....
Please help!!
Orange?
Any of you guys on Orange by any chance?
My work mate and I both have a desire and lose 3G when at work. We can call our handsets and they both go straight to vm. They also fail sms.
We can only reliably use the handsets on GSM.
When I go home I switch back to GSM/WCDMA auto and all is OK, except my buddy doesn't live far from work so is on the same cell.
We think it's an issue with an Orange 3G mast that serves our area.
Same thing happens with my N97 and I thought it was handset related.
Data Connection Problem
Hey People,
I have a similar problem with my Galaxy S2 too, on Resurrection remix 4.0.3. I have tried everything well almost everything I know about. I have also installed automatic net services from Orange romania. It didn't help too. I believe there are people who can help fix this problem and releases my pain.
Any helpwould be appreciated.
I had the same problem once. It was the EPST settings.
1. Who is your carrier?
2. What rom do you have? In order to edit the EPST settings you need to
a. Know what your doing
b. Have the ORIGINAL sense rom installed.
You will probably need to call your carrier and tell them your data is not working and you believe it to be the EPST settings. To get into these settings, (in the ORIGINAL sense rom) dail ##778#, click edit mode, then type in password (usually 000000), but it depends on ur carrier.
From there it depends on what your carrier needs the settings to be.
I messed with the APNs settings on my phone for weeks and nothing worked. Then i stumbled upon EPST settings and that fixed it. I had to contact someone in upper data communications in Bluegrass Cellular to get the correct settings. So good luck!

Not all towers support 3G or even internet. That could explain that but idk about the calling and sms.
I am unable to receive calls and texts when my phone is connected to wifi network. The call will go to voicemail and I won't receive any notification even when the phone's screen is on. Once I turn off the wifi, voicemails, and text will come in rapid succession.
If I again turn on the wifi, everything will work fine for next 20-30mins and then the same problem will come back.
I am on OOS 5.1.1 not rooted. My network is t-mobile. I have done a factory reset and explored multiple options on the web.
Users reported similar problems with previous versions of Oneplus.
My wife has one plus 5 and she is also having the same problem.
Any solution will be appreciated.
Same issue here
Rooted, OOS 5.1.2, T-Mobile.
I guess no one anywhere in the op5/t community has this issue except 3 of us? Anyone? Can anyone help?
@DragonMessor Hey everyone on T-mobile with this issue. I solved it. I had to go into the T-mobile app and then click the "more" tab. Go to address and then check the box that says "make this the e911 address for all lines".
That will lock in the VoWifi in and allow texts over wifi. My texts over wifi now work with no cell signal and even with wifi off. I am using google messages and I don't even have the option for advanced messaging in the app. Hopefully the OP gets this if he didn't move on to another phone yet and hopefully it helps someone. ?

Hi there,
I am trying to use WiFi Calling on my H8324. The thing is, it works but only temporarily.
When I start the phone with a fresh firmware update (or simply flash some oem_*.sin files for instance), the phone switches to WiFi calling even before it recognizes a network (which is a good thing). When I then go into airplane mode, I'm able to make and receive calls via WiFi without issues.
However, if I deactivate the WiFi mode and as soon as the phone registers with a network, WiFi Calling seems to go away and there is no way to bring it back. I've tried to reboot, disable / enable the sim, disable / enable the WiFi Calling option, tried to use only some specific network modes etc. The only way to bring WiFi calling temporarily back is to reflash firmware parts.
I have to add that I'm trying to make that work using a German blau.de sim card (O2/E-Plus network) in Canada. So I'm roaming and that's exactly the reason I would like to use WiFi Calling.
Does anyone have ideas how to solve that? Or maybe as a workaround: Is there a way to disable network registration for only one sim card? (I have the dual sim version and I'm using a Canadian SIM too). I can't use airplane mode activated all the time.
Thanks!
Update: Alright, I've found a workaround for anyone who might be in the same situation. WiFi Calling Sim must be SIM 2. Before registering with the network, activate the airplane mode, then activate WiFi. Now WiFi Calling should be working. Now go to Service menu *#*#4646#*#* and activate mobile radio manually. Now you have a working SIM1 and a SIM2 in Wifi Calling Mode.
I still need to figure it why this has to be done but so far this is a working solution. Unfortunately you won't see any notification icon for the data/voice connection for SIM 1.
Hi everyone,
I've just bought this phone and had no trouble installing LineageOS 20 (Nairo) on it. Everything works well, got all my apps installed and data moved over and now I've discovered that the WiFi Calling function doesn't appear to be working, which is a deal breaker for me. My office has terrible cell reception and I have been happily relying on WiFi calling on my Galaxy Note9 using the same SIM can carrier on Android 10 so I'm guessing it's either a phone issue and/or an OS issue.
To confirm:
1. WiFi is connected with signal strength reported by OS as "Excellent". This is the case for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
2. WiFi Calling is enabled
3. Calling Preference is "Calls over Wi-Fi"
Is there something I'm missing here? I actually had a call come in, the service was pretty crap and when it dropped out there was a pop-up that said something to the effect of "You should use Wifi Calling".
In case anyone looks at this later on for answers, I managed to resolve this with a reinstall of LineageOS. It did have a problem though in that after the reinstall, the phone could not create a data session with the mobile network (Vodafone Australia). I managed to fix that by moving the SIM card from SIM1 to SIM2. I then moved the SIM back to SIM1 and it's all working fine now. No idea what the problem was, but all running smoothly now.
