First noticed this a week ago.
I have installed CHT 2.0 [didn't seem to happen] and then installed the Dinik task manager and Touch of Glass homescreen theme.
I then put a toggle switch for wifi in the quicklinks and sporadically noticed wifi would be on.
As the quicklink was on the first row of the home screen I thought maybe I was touching it accidently [although I didn't really believe it].
Moved it to another screen anyway.
Since then I have done a hard reset having installed latest wwe rom and reinstalled cht 2.0/diniks taskbar and the TOG theme and the toggle switch [on a 2nd screen].
I have noticed today that the wifi seems to turn on when there is no phone reception so nothing to do with touching the toggle switch etc.
Never happened before though in the year I have had the phone and obviously it is not ROM-linked.
Anyone any idea what the cause might be and how to stop it?
Yes I do have my gmail account on push email via activesynch BUT I have had this from day dot and anyway push is supposed to be turned off overnight but I occasionally wake to find it on in the morning.
I have just set up the phone exactly how I like it so am loathe to remove cabs one at a time to find the culprit if there is an easier way!
Help appreciated.

Hi, Nothing is wrong just remove Gmail, and add it as normail mail, see if this stops. Then re-try it again via sync to see if the prob comes back.
Russ
But I have had Gmail as my Activesynch account for nearly a year with no problems.
Why should that be a problem?
As i happens Activesync had a bit of a freak-out this morning so I had to do this anyway (remove Gmail account and add it again)

Hi everyone! I've read these forums for a long time but haven't posted much before. It was doing my research here that led me to buying my Prophet. It couldn't have been a better decision, so thank you! I owe you guys one.
So... I thought it might be helpful to list the issues people have been having with their WM6 builds so far, since right now the problems seem to be spread through other threads. I flashed the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3 two days ago, and although it runs pretty well, I've run into a couple of problems that other people have seen too:
1. Wifi works only sometimes. I'm really not sure what causes it, but it will always work properly again after a soft reset. It doesn't seem to matter how long my Prophet is turned on - I soft reset last night, put my phone down, and tried the wifi again this morning, and it worked fine. I'm guessing that it might be some other program or system process that's interfering with the wifi/wlan.
2. MMS/SMS. Since I don't use MMS, I can't speak for myself, but I've read other people are having trouble getting their MMS to work properly. I've also read that a small minority of people are having trouble with their SMS. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
3. Missed calls. People have posted that their phones sometimes just won't ring, and they get missed calls. Some say that this can be fixed by downgrading to the 2.19 radio ROM. Has anyone tried this, and did it work?
4. Bluetooth. I haven't had any bluetooth problems, and the bluetooth keyboard I installed works great. However, I've read that other people have been having some problems. Anyone care to comment?
5. Battery troubles. People have said different things about whether or not their WM6 ROMs use more power than WM5; I'm not sure that it actually makes much of a difference. One thing I did notice, though: my Prophet will charge fine when attached to my PC's USB port, but not when plugged into the wall! The yellow light comes on, and it looks like it's charging, but the battery continues to drain. This is easily one of the weirdest problems I've had.
If you have other problems/errors using any WM6 ROM (not just PDAViet), please add on to the list! Say what the problem is and what ROM you're using. Also, if anyone knows fixes for any of the problems, add them here too!
TrueNeytral 1.4 MS BT.
Very few issues. No problems with Missed calls, MMS, BT or battery (10% per day with 2 calls each day). Wifi varies a bit - but no real problem.
Once I mistakenly pressed the flight-mode icon, then turned the phone back on - I didn't recieve SMS for two days, until I re-booted. Strange...
7. Sporadically missing email, wifi and bluetooth settings after soft-reset, even if we turn off the phone everytime a change is made.
Occasional missed calls; seems like they just go right to voice mail sometimes.
Battery life fair with Radio 1.40; it may be a little better with 1.38, hard to tell; definitely better life by turning off 3G
Some minor incompatibilities with BatteryPack Pro, mostly visual things, nothing functional so far
In Windows Live, when checking email if I close an email message Windows Live closes and sends me back to the Today Screen; if I 'reply' to an email, then 'cancel message', it will send me back to the email list, not close the program and return me to the Today page. This bug disappeared for a while and the email functioned properly until I flashed a new radio ROM(1.40), then bug returned

Yeah, me too. I didn't see it happen with my email, and I don't use the bluetooth too much, but it seems like the settings for my home router would mysteriously disappear whenever I soft reset, and I'd have to put in my password again.

I have the same problem. What I've seen: I only loose mails, internet settings, Windows Live Messenger settings, if I use soft reset harware button. Try to use an software program that allow you to soft reset device like XCPUScalar which put in system tray an icon for that function.
If you find something else to remedy that problem please anounce me

An important feature for business users - I guess.
I am currently running dcd3.2.0, aand Radio 3.42.02. Since my flash of dcd3.16.0, the phone has a weird way of switching itself into silent mode. I dont know why or how, but it goes to silent and none of my calls, messages or etc ring. Has this happened to anyone else? any ideas on how to disable silent or fix it?
Are you running HTC Home? It has a automatic ringer feature that turns off the ringer when your calendar shows an appointment. I know there are a couple other apps that do the same.

Yes I am, is it a feature of HTC home or do I have to uninstall it?
It is a mode on the sound tab called "automatic". Go to the sound tab and see if it is selected. Change it to ring if so.
hmm this is actually happening to me too, but i thought i was just crazy. sometimes my phone will randomly go completely silent, but i don't have any appointments scheduled or HTC home installed. i use profiles with SPB phone suite, and even on the Normal profile, which normally rings and such, the phone wont ring even on this profile. if i select that profile again, even without switching off of it, the rings come back

I removed HTC Home and it is still doing it, is it something in the firmware that can be changed? I've searched the net, and couldnt even find a key as to try and disable the silent setting. Any other ideas?

That's all I have for ideas. Hopefully someone else on here has seen this before. I know there are other applications that do this other than Home, but don't know which ones. Have you tried a hard reset to go back to the default install of DCD without any added CABs? Perhaps it is one of your applications causing the issues. Try running for a couple days without adding any applications and see if you have issues. If not, add them one by one until your problem comes back. Also, if you are going to hard reset anyway, you might as well move to DCD 3.2.2 and radio 3.42.30 while you are at it.
Since I've upgrade to DCD 3.2.x ROM's I've had a weird issue with my phone randomly switching itself into vibrate mode. I seems to occur less frequently with the 3.2.6 ROM, but in the last few days it has definitely switched into vibrate mode more than a few times. I've been unable to track down any more details as to why this is occurring (i.e. a program I'm using or something I'm doing and not realizing). I am using HTC Home, I doubt this has a bearing on the situation, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Has anyone else experienced this problem? More importantly has anyone found a fix to this annoying issue?
Thanks folks!
same here
I have had that same problem here recently along with the radio turning off periodicaly for no reason. Had DCD 3.2.6 installed since it came out. No new programs have been installed since the install so I don't think that is it.
HTC Home has a feature to switch your audio profile to vibrate when you have an appointment in your calendar. Ensure that you are not set to "automatic" on your sound tab.
Other than that, no ideas.

I second the suggestion. I had accidentally put mine in automatic and every time an appointment reminder would go off, 10 minutes later it would go to vibrate... took me about 3 days to figure it out.
Now I use it all the time, if your calendar appointment is set to busy, with automatic it will do this. If you don't want the auto-vibrate, set your time to free (that is what I do with kids sports schedule's)...
Not Using Automatic Sound Setting
I'm certainly not using the automatic sound setting in HTC Home so it must be something else...
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...
All of a sudden today, when unlocking my phone, I've seen this message pop up on the home screen for like 2 seconds. I figured it was just a random fluke and powered down but then when I went to click on refreshing my weather widget which is always set to the same zip code, it happened again. This widget is set to manual refresh, I have to click it to get an updated forecast. Then it happened again a few minutes later after simply unlocking the screen like it was doing earlier.
I've had Network Location services for wifi and gps turned off for a good 3 weeks or so. I only activate those on an as-needed basis. I don't use any apps that acquire my location (weather, facebook, etc.) I have the bear minimum apps running in 'Running Services' and I'm running the configuration in my sig (UnNamed, Entropy's DD, ICScrewd Theme). Any ideas what's going on?
does it happen every time you refresh the weather widget?
if it does I would try a different widget, just to see whether it goes away.
I just had GMail do this to me this morning (when I tried to refresh - I have that set to manual). I turned on location services (wifi and GPS) and let it get my location, then turned them back off. That seemed to take care of it. Might be a cookie based kind of thing - I loaded a new ROM yesterday and hadn't let it get a lock yet.
I just remembered that I updated Google Maps yesterday via the Market. I think that's the culprit. I can't see any setting though which I can change to disable automatic updating. I've gotten this message now like 3 times this morning.
Ive temporarily turned on Location Services for wifi/GPS but I prefer them off as I get much better battery life with them disabled.

This seems to be happening to me more and more. Cannot pinpoint the culprit.
is this still an issue for anyone? It certainly is for me
