Flight-Mode problem

i was testing the Flight-Mode tool. when i switched it on it works. but when i tried to switch it off it didn't do anything. i tried to switch it off a couple of times and still wouldn't work. i just recently upgraded my ROM to this : K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship. does anyone have the same problem as me?

I have the same issue -- the only way I can get out of flight mode is to soft reset.

yea. i did a soft reset and tried switching on & off the flight mode again. it still won't turn off the flight-mode. so i had to soft reset it again.

Yep -- each time I go into flight mode, I have to soft reset in order to get out. A rather minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless. I wonder if anyone else has this issue?

if you guys have a pin code for the phone.
turn off flight mode, then go to phone and write in your pin code then the flightmode goes off.

pin?? hmm i dont think i've created a pin for my phone. what if you don't have a pin? what should you do?

hum, then i acctually don't know sorry this way works for me

Hmm. I don't have any trouble switching flight mode on and off and never have. When turning FM off the phone asks for my sim pin and then locks onto the signal within 15 seconds.
Perhaps you have a 3rd party app interfearing somewhere?
For your info I have a K-Jam with standard shipped rom.
Apps currently installed:
Pocket informant 2005
WiFiFoFum
MS Voice command
PPC Profiles Pro
Check Notifications
Total commander
PHM Regedit
Pocket weather
TCPMP media player
I also did some of the reg hacks posted on HoFo and here.

I don't use a pin code.

I, too, do not use the PIN code, but I get in and out of flight mode with no problems at all (I have a K-Jam).
Do you wait at least 10-20 seconds after you turn flight mode off before thinking that it is not working? It takes that long before it activates the SIM and gets back the signal.

hey, guess wat... it works heheh i waited about 15 secs or so heheh. but previously it didnt work heheh

Just be patient - don't expect things to happen instantly.
10-15 seconds is reasonable.
I've not experienced any problem with the FM. just be patient

HTC HD WIFI Problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the wifi on HTC HD:
When I try to launch WIFI after a soft reset it always run OK.
Afetr a sleep mode (ie the phone went to sleep mode after 30 secondes or if i put it in sleep mode after a single press on the power button), If i try to launch WIFI the system freeze almost 50 % of the time : sometimes i can launch wifi someteimes the system freezes.
I did a hard reset and didnt installed any new software: same problem.
I disabeled TouchFLO; same problem
Dose anybody have an idea that can help ?
Regards

Hi There,
same as you, it happens regularly that due to reconnection to wifi, the system freezes. I must take out the battery to restart the HD.

I can't reproduce your system freeze. Have you enabled the option to keep wifi alive while in stand-by mode? This can be done by HD Tweak (or Advanced Config).
For me it is disabled and it reconnects just fine after powering the device up again. Have you installed the HTC Hotfix(es) already? What Rom are you running?

Hi,
If I leave the WIFI on so no problem at all, when the system wake up after a sleep mode so the WIFI is OK, the problem occurs very often if I put OFF the WIFI before I go to sleep mode. If I leave the WIFI on so no problem.
Just a precision: when the problem happens after sleep mode sometimes it dosent freeze but the WIFI dosent go on, if I try many time to put wifi on it will end by freezing the system.
The hotfix is installed.
ROM version: 1.14.406.3(22273) FRE

somebody can help me with this wifi problem please ?

I would try to change or update the ROM to see if the
freezing goes away. If not, send it in to the service centre for diagnosis.

shame on HTC and shame on Expansys !
I've return back the HTC HD for diagnostics few days after I've received it because of the WIFI problem descrbed in the original post. Afetr 2 weeks I've received the phone with a notice"repaired under waranty", after quick test the problem still the same ! I've returened it back to Expansys-where I bought it- and I am stil waiting to be replaced !!! Imagine that: I've had the problem few days after I've bought the phone and I have never got to use it..now after 2 months I am still waiting for the phone..Expansys says it wa sent to HTC to be replaced..I've asked them to replace cause it is new, no answer from expansys...shame

I believe while I was having a different WIFI problem and came across this problem detailed somewhere on the HTC website... however I forget where.
Some googling and forum searching might do the trick!
Have you tried a different ROM perhaps?
Also maybe using HDTweak or AdvancedConfig you could change the wifi to always be on even when the phone is asleep; although this would completely drain the battery rather quickly it could be a useful stopgap until you find a solution!

Mobile network stopped working MoDaCo 1.1

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.

Bad Flash?

Hi Guys,
I've upgraded to the WWE 1.66 ROM for the hd2 and I was not prompted to the default set-up screen where you can set-up your carrier, wifi etc.
When i got to power off my hd2, i can see the set-up just before it truns off.
Is there anything i can do to go through this initial set-up? everytime i reboot, my wifi is on.

If you have just flashed a new rom do a hard reset!

its always advisable to do a hard reset after flashing a new rom, (apparently it makes it run smoother)
but if that doesn't helpthen you can try disabling sense and you may find the wizard is running behind it.
(settings menu all settings home items untick sense)
edit a few days ago I read of someone with a wizard in thee background and when they put the phone into airplane mode it came to the front

Thanks guys,
I put the phone on airplane mode and the screen came to front.
This might be a bug with the ROM install process? dont know if other people are having this problem, but defo a prob with WWE.
I flashed ROM, hard reset, put phone on airplane mode, went through the wizard, turned airplane mode off, then it detected my carrier settings.
Awesome.

Screen on with no reason and battery drains...

i have read an old thread with a similar, not solved, problem, but i didn't wanted to write in a so old thread...
so...
when the wifi radio is on, my iconia a500 suddendly turns on the screen and it stays on also for various minutes, sometimes i guess also until the battery is completely finished (i have found more than once the tablet off because of battery drained in the morning, so i guess it was with screen on all night long)
this happens also if i set wifi to go off when display is off.
i have tried many different roms (taboonay, lightspeed ... and now i have thor rom 14.2, installed yesterday) but the problem is always here.
if i manually turn off wifi, this seems to never happen... or at least it never happened while i was watching the tablet during the last months
does anybody knows a solution, a hint... or anything that could be helpful to make this issue less annoying?
thanks!

You might have a program installed that is constantly calling for wifi access?
That's the only thing I can think of?
On my Rom, I haven't ever experienced that problem.
My settings are as follows:
Airplane mode on
Wifi On
Wifi disconnect policy: when screen turns off.

also when i just turn it on it happens, even with no services or program needing wifi...
but you gave a me a good idea to try...
i will put airplane mode on and check what happens now
and anyway, i'll check again my programs

hm for me it sometimes happen but it's like once it two or three days so it's hard to track it down ;/

For me it is quite common....
To check it i keep it next to the tv while i watch it, or next to the computer
Dal mio Iconia A500

Can someone please clarify what I am missing in these settings:

If airplane mode is turned on doesn't that over ride the wifi on setting?
So if airplane mode is on wifi will always be off so the disconnect setting has no bearing.
Can someone please confirm above or explain..
thanks

no, you can put airplane mode and then turn on wifi
and seems like it is working well... but i don't want to talk too early...

Airplane mode is for tablet/phones with data connections. Airplane mode just turns that off

Yes, but for some strange reason it helps with the wake up problem some have

That's what I was getting at - when airplane mode is turned on it overrides all other settings and wifi can not be engaged in any way until it (airplane mode)is turned off.

Yup I was just answering Spud
Airplane mode only refers to the 3g/4g cell radio (so it turns off wireless network data/phone calls/texts etc.). You can still turn on wifi and use it when airplane mode is on because this is a different radio (well in the a500 there is no 3g radio). After all many airplanes now have wifi on board, however you're still supposed to have it airplane mode.

Thanks.
I haven't been able to turn in wifi with airplane mode on - it takes a longer push (hold) on the wifi button to engage.
I now have wifi on with airplane mode on - didn't realize airplane didn't also disable wifi.

Incorrect! You turn Airplane Mode on, which turns off wifi, then turn on wifi with Airplane Mode still turned on (and airplane mode stays on with wifi turned on as well).

after some days trying i have noticed that putting in airplane mode solves the problem...
but not always the tablet turns off wifi and stay in airplane mode when i turn off the display, it is surely some annoying app (or widget) that makes this happen.
i'm trying to understand which one

The only way to do that is process of elimination. Knocking out the variables one by one until you find the culprit, which has the potential to be a long, painstaking process. Start by uninstalling, one by one your apps that require internet access, and wait a couple days In between each one to see how your tab reacts.Then again, it may be an app that you wouldn't think needs wifi access to work, but in the background is calling for access.
Good luck with it!

Well there you have it.
All stock based ROMs allow it to be done.
