Does anyone get the problem of their phone repeatedly saying it needs to have the time zone set?
I must have set it about 20 times, but it still says it can't detect it on regular occasions.
I only get this when I enable aeroplane mode because it can't communicate with the network.
Maybe you have poor signal in your area?
Try turning off the auto-update in date & time settings and instead sync the clock with your PC using HTC sync.
Do you per chance have the com.htc.provider force close problem?
It seemed to correlate with what you're reporting, but I fixed the force closing by clearing data for Peep and Twitter Widget in Manage Applications (Settings > Applications).
Thanks for the tips. I'll try them out. Signal strength is a possibility

I've owned a Touch Pro for a few months now and overall it's a good device. It has its quirks, but then again what phone doesn't? There is one problem in particular, however, that I can't seem to figure out. I've searched up and down in XDA Forums, and on Google, and I just can't find out a fix for my data connection always turning on for no reason. I have all my e-mail accounts set to "manual send / recieve", the weather program set to "update weather manually", and as far as I know there are no other programs on my phone that have access to the internet without my permission.
The problem I have is sometimes I will wake my phone up from its sleep mode, and I will discover that the data connection is active and appearing to be transmitting. Also, EVERY time I restart my phone and it goes through the boot process, the data connection will re-activate even before TouchFLO 3D opens up on the today screen. It's really annoying, because I have no idea what's causing it to do this, or why it does it at random times, or whenever I reset my device.
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? I hate having to manually go in periodically and make sure my data connection is set to "off", instead of having it stay that way when I set it.
So no help on this one then?
I don't have a solution but I can help by bumping your thread and saying I have the same problem on Verizon. I was at a friend's place all weekend, and he has wifi all over, so I turned off data and used his wifi instead. Well sure enough all weekend my data connection kept turning itself back on. It seemed to happen only when going into sleep mode. So I kept the phone plugged in so it would never totally "sleep". Wifi stayed connected with no data connection starting automatically. Annoying especially considering the 5 GB data limit on the PDA plan.
Well I'm glad I'm at least not alone on this one. It's weird too that even though your device is on a different carrier, it still does the same thing. I wonder if it's a hardware issue?
I know that someone has to have an answer for this...
go into pocket express and press menu then go to express settings then on the top left theres a pulldown press it and go into auto updates and turn it off.. pissed me off when i got the phone.. couldnt find a fix till i started going through all the programs to find the one doing it.. and it was the stupid Pocket Express
I have had my MDA Compact V for a few months now, and it's only recently that I've had the same problem. Each time I switch on, my data connection starts or alternatively if I loose signal then get it back then I see my data connection is on again. Thankfully I have the Solo 20 package with unlimited net usage (although you're are limited to 1Gb/month) but it drains my battery really badly.
I went through every possible setting and program to switch off location settings or auto downloads/updates and I still have the same problem, but I downloaded Data Controller v1.00 from Freewarepocketpc.net and I can toggle my data connection on or off as I please.
Heres what you need
Install below cab, then use the NODATA app, select what you want off, PHONE AS MODEM and DATA are your two options I believe... Your data will never come back on... until you re-enable it that is....
PS... THIS IS NOT MY CAB, THIS IS SOMETHING I FOUND WHEN TRYING TO ADDRESS THESAME PROBLEM YOU ARE HAVING. THIS CAB WAS DOWNLOADED FROM MoDaCo BUT I DONT HAVE THE LINK... ALL RESPECTS GO TO HIM... I AM JUST SHARING WHAT HAS WORKED FOR ME IN THE PAST...
Seems it's one or the other
What sucks is on my Sprint HTC touch pro 2 (cdma), I was having a problem where I couldn't answer calls all the time, but sometimes I could, and eventually found that it was always when the data connection was showing active is when I couldn't answer a call. But when that was happening, my data connection would turn back off after a few seconds when I was done using it. It was driving me crazy not being able to answer my calls and I finally found a post that let me correct that problem, it was changing the HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume value that fixed this problem... the value of this registry setting was originally "GPRS_bye_if_device_off". This setting made it so the data connection would turn off when not being used, but it apparently messes up cdma phones from being able to switch over to answer an incoming phone call if the data connection is active. I changed this registry entry to "#777" as the post said to do, and sure enough, that corrected the problem with being able to answer my calls if the data connection is active. I'm real happy to have that working now, but when I changed this setting, my data connection is now always showing active (white arrows showing in status) and even if I turn it off manually, it comes on by it's self way more often than the every 4 hours I have it set to check emails.
There is a registry setting called CacheTime under the same Settings key as the above mentioned registry entry that I changed, that when the "GPRS_bye_if_device_off" value is used, the CacheTime key value will indeed control how long the data connection stays on before automatically turning off. But When I change the Entry to "#777" which is necessary to allow me to answer calls when data is active, then changing the CacheTime value has no effect and the data connection stays on until you manually turn it off.
I'd like to find a way to turn the data connection off, while still not messing up me being able to answer calls when the data connection is active, and seems to me that if both of these things can be done separately with two different registry settings, that it must be possible to do both.... so if any of you tech wizards can find a way to do this, I'd love to see it!
Possible Fix?
Hey, I have noticed the same problem. It is annoying from a battery life aspect as well as a system slowdown when coming out of sleep. I could not find much of a workaround except one of the settings in TD3 Tools I installed. In the "Data Connection" tab you can yurn on an option that makes your "End" key also terminate an active data connections. So if you hit it after waking your phone you won't have the annoying slowdown with your Sense UI...
now ive tried many key words and phrases to search, maybe im just searching wrong or something but i cant find any fix to this yet im sure others have experienced it.
basically my data keeps turning on every 10 minutes or so after i switch it off. no programs are running, weather not set to update, youtube hasnt been set to login and neither has twitter, activesync set to usb. the only home screen tabs i have are messages, internet, photos&vid, and weather. time isnt set to update via internet. auto update of database within the data connection are turned off, auto config turned off
im on the verge of hard resetting.
not sure, but maybe WMLongLife could help to identify the culprit, as with each new connection it asks you to define connection type/access
go to settings tab / more / connections / connections / advanced / choose networks -> programs with automatic internet access use: set to "firmennetzwerk" (i guess its work network or something similar).
now your phone doesnt connect data anymore..
if you want to connect it again, you have to change that again..

Did you uncheck "My Location"?
have you tried the "no data.cab" file works for me
yea ive looked into the above solutions but didnt want anything semi-permanent.
ironically i soft reset the device about 4 times within 30min and its back to normal now...go figure.
Search for dialup enablerdisabler. Install it first thing after a new Rom. Goto start find it and disable data once and for all

Hi
The app "social networks" (already installed as part of motoblur package) keeps "forgetting" to update from time to time. Anyone else has the same problem or knows a solution?
The app does not have a menu to manually update or change any settings.
Right!!! I have the same problem I'm not able to find setting for synchronization...I dont have understand how often the message of facebook (motoblure) are checked??
usually it must be checked every couple minutes as it always seems up to date, but now mine hasn't synced since two days ago. Restarting the phone didn't help either.
I've noticed that after the update (coincidence?) my widget fails to update. This works for me:
menu>settings>data manager>data delivery>background data (toggle the setting off then on) and escape. Seems to keep me going until the next morning. I think the smart battery saving settings that are in effect overnight (default) clog up the works so I need to repeat the process daily...
Yeah, it seems to have failed after update 2.21 > 2.51
And there is no way to manually refresh.
I have wifi set to NEVER sleep. But no matter what I do, the phone keeps turning off wifi every time the screen is off for more than a minute. Why? I tried doing a hard reset, it didn't fix the issue. I saved the Advanced Settings after I changed the sleep policy.

1. check ur battery profile
2. check to see if any other app is doing this. i had 'super power' on mine doing this for me; got this app when I restored my data from captivate to this phone. I had to disable the option in super power, and since then its not doing this.
Huh. I'll try performance mode.
But that still doesn't explain why it would turn off the phone's wifi capabilities completely after a certain time.
And the info for the battery profile doesn't mention wifi.
Whoops. posted twice accidentally
i've had wifi sleep issues rom day one with a wpa2 enterprise network. It refuses to join after the first time, and eventually sets the network to disabled. I'm far from impressed. I wish a hotfix for all 2.2 installs would be released
Well, that was it. The battery profile was the problem. Thanks.
Now if only I could figure out why the phone absolutely refuses to download apps from the market faster than around 200 kb/s, on 3G, 4G or on wifi.
Even on 'performance mode' I am facing this issue. It just keeps disconnecting from wifi. Even if I turn it off and on from widget it doesn't connect. I need to go through settings and to wifi, and then it says "connecting..." and connects.
I set "Keep Wifi on during sleep" to "Always". I do this with all of my devices, as I like to have them connected to Wifi if it's available as soon as I wake it up.
However, the connection manager (or some other app/service) on the Desire seems to take control nearly every time I hit the power button. The phone comes on and I'll be connected to Wifi. But then it switches off and connects to the 3G/4G data signal for a few seconds. Then switches back to Wifi. This is especially annoying when I've already launched an app and it disconnects me.
I tried using Titanium Backup to "freeze" an app that is called something like Connection Manager, but this odd connection flip still occurs.
Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it? I'm still on 4.2 if that makes a difference.
Thank you!

I'm not sure how you do it after-the-fact but I know when I first setup the device on VM it popped up and you had to consent to use it and agree to the terms. If you say no to both of the those the app never bothers you again. I'm not sure how you get back into the app though to disable it after it being allowed to run.
You could try going to Settings -> Apps -> ALL and then force stop the program and clear all the cache/data/defaults maybe it will clear out your consent to use the program and your agreement to usage terms allowing you to say no the next time it runs.
