Wifi driving me crazy!

[JKingDev]

I posted this in the general forum but got no replies. Is there any way to use direct push without it turning wifi on all the time? Every time I make a phone call or loose reception wifi switches itself on. It is extremely annoying. I am constantly turning it off and almost every time i take my phone out of my pocket wifi is back on. Does anyone else get this? Can I tell direct push to only use the cellular data connection? I know it is direct push because if I enable it the problem goes away. Please help!

Am I seriously the only one with this problem? Cause its drivin me nuts. When I turn wifi off, I want it to stay off. No suggestions?

push should automatically alternate between data and wifi. it gives wifi priority before data.

What what what? Your wifi turns on auto? Never heard such thing neither ever happened to me. Seems too odd since in the kaiser wifi only turns on when you activate via key combo or in the control panel! Don't u mean ur data conn is always switching on? Maybe it's cause of the rom you have!

uh use your imagination dude.

It automatically goes to wifi if it's on.

ChumleyEx, That's not the issue here.
The issue is that WiFi automatically turns on after a call, when it was OFF beforehand. JKingDev confused the issue in his OP.

The problem is not exclusive to the Kaiser either. My HTC Vox (WinMo 6.1 Standard) is doing the same thing.

Until reading this thread, I hadn't made the relationship between push activesync email and wifi being automatically turned on after a call. I still have yet to confirm that the issue exists without Push ActiveSync enabled.

One further peice of information - it only seems to be an issue after WiFi has been manually turned on at some stage of the phone's current power-on session.
i.e. If I reboot the phone and don't turn WiFi on manually, I can make/receive calls without Wifi turning on automatically.
Once I turn wifi on then off again, then make/receive a call, Wifi will automatically turn on after the call.

And it's very inconsistent as well, which makes this doubly frustrating. For example, I've just tried to replicate the issue using my examples above, and it's not happening now :-\

Perhaps it's only an issue after calls longer that 'x' seconds? Max call-time I tested was 13secs.

Are you on EDGE or 3G?
On EDGE while in a call the data will be put on hold. That could mean that if your call is long enough the push connection will timeout, and it will try to use Wifi to maintain connection (as the goal of push is for it to be constantly connected)?

Just thinking out loud, I've never used push myself.
