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
So today I flashed this update for 4.1.2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423
And I noticed the 4G LTE icon is always there when I am sitting at my home wifi. Is this normal or what could it be?
Edit: Under Settings > About device > Status > Mobile Network state is always "Connected".
IP Address is always the mobile IP and not the WiFi IP...
Edit 2: If data is turned on and wifi is connected, phone cannot access online services at all unless in airplane mode with wifi on...
Anyone???

It means that the phone is using your providers network, if you were on wireless for example as you know how it normally looks, the network data icon goes away, If you were to send a text or use a program that does not use wifi, it will then use cell data. Maybe you have a rogue app or service running. Have you tried to wipe your cache and dalvik? You could also be connected with wifi but not have internet access through it, thus enabling the network again while wifi is on.

I've checked the network connection over and over again, but from what I see, the icon never goes away and its been more than a day, so I'm gonna try wipe cache and dalvik and if not, I might have to do an Odin stock (hopefully not).
I also noticed that from jst downloading an app through the Play Store, I get a system notification (the ones that appear in a gray box at the bottom of the screen) that I have XXX.X MB left of memory...
Does anyone know how to bring the WIFI notification back? It used to work on 4.1.2 without any problem.
I'm talking about if you have a saved network that is require an additional login when you automatically connect and it is require to open the browser to create an account to register the device to that network so you can use it. Before as soon the phone is connected on top notification bar it is show message that tell the WiFi is require additional information to sigh in (or something similar) and when you click it is open the default browser and show you the sign in page of the network. After the update it is connecting directly to the WiFi but no notification and basically your phone is not connected.
Thanks
I've started noticing weird issues with wifi recently - when I move from one wifi access point to another, wifi list is not refreshed (says "Connected" to AP that is way out of reach although wifi icon in status bar is inactive), and this is not happening even when I tap "Scan" manually. To connect to other AP I have to turn wifi off, wait few seconds, then turn it on (both AP's have saved passwords, reconnect happens automatically).
What's interesting, wifi access points lookup works fine in general and I continue seeing "Wifi access point available" notifications from time to time.
Confirmed this problem on firmware v.14.3.A.0.757 (4.4.2), upgrade to 761 did not fix anything. This is not very likely a setting issue, tried playing with "Scanning always available", "Wi-Fi optimization" settings, etc. Not 100% sure stock firmware had this issue (14.2.А.1.114 (4.3)), although if there is some easy way to downgrade I might go with it.
Does anyone encountered the same issue? What can be done to diagnose this issue?
Public wi-fi hotspots requiring browser sign in are not supported?
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/emui/faq/
Network
The Wi-Fi network must have an Internet connection. Public hotspots (hotspots that require you to log in using a web browser) are not supported.
I can try to test this when my phone arrives, I've pre-ordered.
I have the Chinese Mate 9 still and have never had any trouble with login or hotspots before, so this is new to me.
From David Horn:
No. This FAQ refers to WiFi+, where the phone will search out open WiFi networks to increase download speeds when mobile connectivity is poor. What this means here is that the phone won't automatically present you with the option to sign into these public WiFi access points. However, if you've signed into them in the past on the phone, they're likely to work afterward if they use MAC address filtering.
There are no problems signing into a public network on EMUI (the occasional bug means the notification doesn't do anything when you tap on it, but just open Chrome and sign in there).
