Hi there
First time poster, shame it has to be a cry for help!!
I've got the touch HD, and I love it, however over the last week or so its started losing its HDSPA and 3G connection and dropping to phone only. At first I thought this maybe network related (T-Mobile), however it seems to do it in all locations.
I'ver noticed when it does it, the data connection slider in the settings tab, is switched to off, and as soon as I flick it back on, it picks up the signal fine (only to lose it again after a random amount of time). I've downloaded Tweak HD and set the internet to always on, however that doesn't make a difference.
I've not installed any custom roms, its the factory build, really hope someone can help
Thank you
Do you see the connection drop while the screen is on or is it after you have put the phone in standby (screen off)?
It seems to be random, I can be halfway through browsing the web and it'll drop or just coming out of standy.
The most common time seems to be when I do a send/receive on the email tab, it shows the 'H' icon then as soon as it starts syncronising, it drops out to radio then I have te re-send to get it to connect again.
I seem to recall the same thing happening to me back when I was using the stock rom. For the first week everything was fine, then the connection would drop when I turned the screen off or even when the phone was on. If you've tried setting the connection to "always on" and that does not fix the problem, then I would next try and download Schaps Advanced Config and enable/disable the different power management settings. I've suggested this to a few others for disconnect problems in standby and it seemed to work.

Upgraded to the new 1.60 ROM hoping to cure this annoying problem but if anything its worse.
I turn the phone off and within 5 minutes its turned itself back on for no apparent reason. No notifications or anything. Cant be doing my battery life any good if it keeps switching on
Any ideas?
That may be something to do with the way that ActiveSync is set up.
I've had this kind of problem in the past and found that by killing activesync by using a task manager of some variety and changing my 'network' settings that the problem goes away
Please excuse me, im quite a newbie at this xda malarky. My xda also turns its self on randomly since installing 2003. you said change your network settings. How and what do you change them to? I made sure that activsync is turned off, but it doesnt make much difference either way.
cheers
I have experienced the same...
And, I've been on multiple ROM's with no avail.
I'm not sure anyone has ever found a solution.
My activesync is turned off, but the damned thing keeps turning on. Its sitting in the cradle at present and it turns on every 3-4 minutes!!!
It is Active Sync
I had this problem with my charger in the car. It is not sufficient to kill the Activesync. You would have to go to the options in the Activesyn menu, go to the new options button in the PC tab (the first one) and there disable the box with the name "Enable PC sync using this connection". This you will have to enable each time you want to sync via the cradle. I don't have the problem in the original cradle, it is only with the thirdparty car charger. I sync via IR or bluetooth and that is always available via the menu in Active Sync.
Good luck!

ActiveSync i can understand when its in the cradle but currently its sitting on my desk and still turning on at random intervals sometimes 30 secs after i switch it off!!!
Signal strength maybe?
I have same problem, happens mostly in car but not exclusively.
I get the feeling that it's related to the cellular signal strength and the device loosing or regaining the GSM connection.
San Francisco has several zero or almost zero coverage areas so it's not unusual for a phone to loose and then regain a connection while driving or walking.
I would love this device if it worked as expected but at this moment it is the source of endless frustration.
im also having these problems they are head doing never used to turn itself on as soon as i hard reset it just started to do this now and its annoying me so much
Im also having these problems . I find a solution using registry cleaner of pocket mechanic.
Bye
Guys, Check the setting of the ActivSync, most probably you will find a schedule for synchronization is set every certain time. So, you have to switch it to Manual Sync.
I think this should soulve your problem.
Sprite Backup
I too had this problem. For some reason the enabling Sprite Backup battery monitoring and Scheduled Backups caused this. try turning these features off if you have it installed.
I have same problem, its really anoying, have not found a way to stop auto connection even after changing some setting on my computer Activesync & XDAii activesync. I'm guessing theres no way to stop it.
Is there an active sync update available? I'm using 3.7 (build 3083)
For those whose unit turns on by itself, please check:
From your PPC:
Start > ActiveSync > Tools> Options > Mobile Schedule
Make sure all 3 options are set to "Manually".
From your Desktop PC ActiveSync:
Tools > Options > Schedule
Make sure every active options are set to "Manually" as well.
You can manually sync but Activesync still keeps "looking for changes"
I need for help plsssss
if some body plsssss attch the last eddition of xda2nbftools because I am living in Saudi Arabia, and the web site to can download this file is BLOCKED here in Saudi Arabia, they are blocking web sites here then u can't open it at all and no way to can download it unless if it attached here in this forum
Here is it:
Same for me too,
Mine can turn itself on almost as soon as i turn it off, its a running battle to get it to turn off and i very rarely win, I have accepted the fact that mine will stay on most of the time now and have a second battery to help me through the day,
I checked all my settings and all mobile schedule settings were on manual and all the active options are set to manual too, so it wasnt those settings causing the problem,
I cant believe the lack of support that O2 are providing, if this was an HP handheld there would have been a fix for each problem as it cropped up within a week as they have done with each of their handhelds
do the people experiancing turn ons have a card in the Sd slot? i do but i notice when the device is off...... put a sd card in and the device turns itself on i only started to notice it turning on when i got my SD card i might take it out tonight and try then?
Yup, i have a card in the slot all the time, took it out for a few hours this morning and it was no different, still kept turning itself on,
I looked a bit deeper into it this morning too,
It seems that i use it, turn it off and it turns back on 13 seconds later, i turn it off again and it turns itself back on again 13 seconds later, so i try to turn it off and the power button has no effect, i have to press it twice to turn it off, then it seems to stay off for at least 30 minutes before going through the exact same sequence again,
I will list all my installed programs a bit later when i have more time, hopefully everone else can do the same (whether you have the problem or not) then we can see if there's a common program that is on all the XDA2's that might be making them turn on and see if its absent from the XDA2's that are fine
So, my brother and I have been running MoDaCo 1.1 core for a couple days now.
My phone has stopped connecting to the mobile network. All it says when I try to connect is "Standby for connecting to mobile network" with a green checkbox. I also notice now when I select the checkbox to connect it turns green instantly and shows that standby message. Before it would take a couple seconds to connect and turn green.
I have tried changing the mode of operation and it still doesn't want to connect. There is no 1x or EVDO in the notification bar. Wifi and GPS still work fine.
My brother's phone is still working fine. I have no idea what the problem can be.
Anybody else having this problem with MoDaCo 1.1?
I think that it has something to do with airplane mode. I enabled airplane mode yesterday, then turned it off. I didn't realize my data wasn't working after that since I don't use it while I'm at home. I am not sure if that is exactly the problem, just trying to think about how it could have stopped working.
I've noticed mine will do this at random on the MoDaCo 1.1 ROM. Every now and then I'll look at my phone and realize my EV symbol at the top is gone and I have no network connection. When this happens both the option in Settings and the small on/off widget on one of my home screens say it's still turned on. If I turn it off and back on, then I just get the "Standby for connecting to mobile network" message too. The only way I've found to get it to work again is to reboot the phone.
FYI this same problem happens to me with the stock ROM, even when it wasn't rooted. I've noticed it only happens when you turn airplane mode on, and then off.
Hmmm...I never touch airplane mode and I never saw this happen once in the month that I had the phone with the stock ROM. Maybe my problem is unrelated then.
Even when I reboot my phone it still doesn't work. I have tried messing around with the widgets turning things on and off multiple times and still nothing can get it working again.
I just went back to an old nandroid backup from before I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone and it seems to be working again. I'm going to put 1.1 on again. I'll use it for a while and try to recreate the problem to figure out exactly what it is.
Sprint/HTC has to fix that. it's a bug.
After upgrading to JK4 via Kies I've noticed some strange Wi-Fi behaviour. It seems to manifest at different times and for no apparent reason, so I'm starting a thread to see if a) anyone else has this issue and b) if so, how does it manifest for them.
First manifestation: after turning on Wi-Fi through Notifications the text switched to "On" but the Wi-Fi symbol did not turn green. Going into the Wireless and Network settings on the phone caused a temporary lockup, when it did let me in Wi-Fi was showing "Error". A reboot of the phone fixed it, temporarily.
Second manifestation: after turning on Wi-Fi through Notifications the text switched to "On" and the Wi-Fi symbol turned green, but it did not connect to my wireless network automatically like it should. Going into the Wireless and Network settings on the phone caused a temporary lockup, when it did let me in Wi-Fi was rapidly switching from a "Turning on" state to "Turning off". It did this about 10-15 times in a few seconds then went to "Error". Turning on and off the Wi-Fi again solved this issue.
Every time I solve this it seems to come back within a 24 hour period. I didn't have this problem (from what I can see) on JK3. I factory reset before and after flashing to JK4, and I flashed JH2 back just to be on the safe side beforehand.
Let the discussion begin!

I quickly tried out after reading your post, and I did confirm your first issue happening, but only when I turn my Wi-Fi on and off really quickly. Also my phone didn't lock up as you described either. Basically, I could only make that issue to surface once I turn off the Wi-Fi, and then turn it back on as soon as my phone reports it is disconnected. When I go into Wi-Fi settings, it does say "Error" there, but if I check the "Wi-Fi" there again, it connects automatically.
I almost never use Wi-Fi because I get 6GB of data, but I can see this becoming a very annoying issue if you have to use Wi-Fi frequently.
Edit: Actually, I ran into a different issue just now. I kept on playing around with my Wi-Fi, and confirmed this happening: Wi-Fi text turns to "ON" but the icon doesn't turn green. When I go into settings, it says "Turning Wi-Fi On.." or something similar and is stuck there. I wasn't able to turn on nor off the Wi-Fi. Reboot fixed issue...for now I guess.
I have also had this issue but I believe it has to do with trying to turn on wireless when your preferred network has a very weak signal. When I'm next to my router, I can turn wi-fi on and off rapidly with no issues. I have only had the issue in my room which has a much weaker signal.

i was having problems with my wifi today...i wasnt able to pickup any wifi signals and i couldnt manually turn the wifi on either...i got a few force closes on some apps and decided to reboot the phone, hopefully sovling the problem...instead i got stuck in the boot loop at the i9000m logo and now my internal sd card is done....hopefully i can return this pos at bell(im on rogers) and do a hup through rogers for the iphone4...at least thats a stable device.

I've never tested right beside the router, but my room is next to the room which has the router so I would think I'd have a fairly strong signal.
Interesting, though...

I tested my Wi-Fi pretty much right beside my router as well...like less than 3 feet away. My phone was reporting it was seeing an "excellent" signal.

I find my wifi on my phone to be pretty solid.
I have an occasional issue where it does not see my wifi router at work, but all I do is turn it off / on and off she does. Just happens with the work router. Never had an issue with my linksys at home.
I've experience this issue with JH2 and it was caused by a change to fast in the settings. Just give your phone some time to connect and get identified on the network before you turn it off ans don't torn it on right after you disconnect it and you should be fine.
Been having the same issues since upgrading to JK4. Wifi gets stuck in "enabling" state occasionally when it try to turn it on. Sometimes I have to go as far as restarting the phone to get it to work again. Not a huge deal but still a nuisance.
I have seen both of these situations occur once after applying JK3 from Odin. It was shortly after booting it up for the first time including the "ERROR" text. I attributed it to a one-time glitch and it has not come back since. When I am home I force WiFi on and leave it in that state until I leave the house for work the following day so I am not constantly messing with the settings.
I get a similar issue butt only when activating my mobile AP.

I've been having a similar issue with my wifi since upgrading to JK4. I've gotten the "error" message on enabling wifi, but as others have mentioned it may be because I'm re-enabling it too quickly after turning it off. However, in one instance yesterday I tried re-enabling it several times after turning it off via the control widget and was ultimately forced to reboot before it worked again. Also, this morning I found that after leaving home and coming to work, I was still only seeing the wifi hotspots near my apartment rather than the ones in my new location (one of which I have saved and automatically connect to). I had to reset the wifi to find the local hotspots. Other than these wifi issues, I'm really loving JK4 so I just hope they get sorted out.
Guys,
I updated my tab a few days ago. Now the market looks different but unfortunately I'm facing another irritating problem which I have no clue how to solve.
Every time that I turn off the tab, and let it be idle for 10 minutes, when I turn it back on, the WiFi icon will show no bars - which translates into no internet connectivity. That happens while the WiFi button is still pressed (green in the pop-up menu). In order for the device to connect to the net I need to turn the WiFi OFF and than ON and it works.
I checked the WiFi sleep configuration and they are set to "never turn it off" I also rebooted the device but with no change.
Please let me know what to do... as this thing sometimes just drives me crazy.
Thanks.

Flash a custom rom bro. Otherwise you are stuck with Samsung's awesome bugs. If you don't want to flash a custom rom there isn't really much you can do about it considering you're not rooted. What did you update to? KMP???
I did the regular Samsung update -the latest one that was released a couple of says ago. The problem with rooting is losing the coverage I have for insuring the device... which I'm reluctant to do. I'm sure it has a solution somewhere...
Yes I confirm.
This "reconnect" issue is being discussed on many forums with no solutions yet. (except custom ROM)
Rooted Samsung S4 MDL ROM OUDhs SWM Touch Recovery v1.0.3.5
This problem may have started about 11 days ago when for the first time my phone ran out of battery on me. (Had used the NAV a lot that day). I'm not sure if it is connected or not. I'm not sure when I first noticed WiFi was turned off. I think it was over the weekend, but who knows.
Problem: When I leave an area where I am connected to WiFi it disables WiFi and will not reconnect anywhere until I turn WiFi back on. When it detects the loss of the WiFi signal it will show the list of Access points it sees. I don't see it that often because usually it is in my pocket. I just watched it once or twice to see what happens as I drove away from work or home. It will go on to AT&T mobile data and stay on it even if I am in an area with a saved WiFi connection (such as home or work). I essentially have to remember to turn on WiFi anytime I get home or to work.
While looking for a problem I found a setting in the WiFi settings section under advanced. The setting is Check for Internet service "Auto switch between Wi-Finetworks and mobile networks" This was unchecked. Last night I checked it. I figured it may have unchecked itself or something when I ran out of battery last week. Well this didn't help. When I got to work this morning I still had to toggle on the WiFi.
Any ideas?
FYI, I am still on stock ROM. Anytime an update comes down it downloads it, if I reboot, it won't install so that is a good thing. I still have root and SU.
The autoswitch would do it. When you turned the auto switch setting back on did you do a full reboot? Sometimes that's the only way some settings will take action properly, even if it doesn't tell you too.

I didn't do a full reboot after changing it last night. i did this morning however after checking which recovery I had for sure... so I guess I'll find out if that took care of it when I leave work in a few hours.
