Hi, my problem is that every time i turn the screen off the gps goes on. If i lock the screen and turn it on after five seconds the gps icon is active on the status bar.
At first I thought it was some misbehaving app, but now I've frozen almost all apps using the permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, but the problem is still there.
The application using the gps appears to be google maps, is this behavior normal? I don't have latitude activated, autosync is off.
I keep gps on because I have seekdroid installed and on gingerbread apps can't self-enable gps
You don't per chance have Tasker installed or some other location based widget on your home screens do you?
If you do have a location widget working (Like Lattitude or Loopt) there is probably a setting to check to tell it not to automatically turn on location.
Hi guys!
I have an XT1540, 2gb/16gb version (Retail US) on Marshmallow.
This is the situation: I'm not always at my house. So, I turn off WiFi when I don't use it. But, even though I turn off WiFi, it remains ON. This does not affect the battery duration. I also notice this when I toggle WiFi on using the tile under quick settings, it seems WiFi was always on because it shows available networks immediately.
Yes, I have turned off "Wi-Fi scanning" under Settings > Location > three dots > Scanning, so there is no reason why WiFi is always ON!
Does any of you have the same issue? I attached some screenies. :good:
Want to hear from you guys...
EDIT: I found the solution. Even though I disabled Always scanning on Settings > Location, Wi-Fi always was ON!
I used to go to *#*#4636#*#* > Wi-Fi information > Wi-Fi status and Supplicant state always said SCANNING.
Went to Developer options and scrolled down to Networking and turned ON "Always allow Wi-Fi Roam Scans". When you turn this on, it disallows the always scanning supplicant state. Now Wi-Fi totally turns off when I select the tile in quick settings!
See attachments!
I think it's common marshmallow bug, not only in Moto devices but even Nexus devices facing this issue.
After some reboots it goes back to normal.

Well, after rebooting my device this "issue" is still present... Anyway thanks for the feedback!
Then maybe resetting network settings and wiping cache in recovery will be the solution, because it has solved my Wi-Fi drains.

It may sound too noobish but just check these-
Are you using the quick setting tile's down arrow to expand the WiFi list? I can't remember the behavior on stock but in cm 13 both clicking of quick setting tile icon and down arrow *enables* and expands the tile. In other roms, clicking wifi icon toggles it and arrow expands it.
Try this. Open settings>wifi and make sure it's off from there. Now pull down notification panel, and again pull down to open quick settings (qs) panel. Check wifi has a slant line going over it. That indicates its off. Now click on wifi icon (not the 'Wi-Fi' text with the arrow). Does the tile expand and shown as turned on? If yes then its normal behavior. It turns on wifi and expands the view to show wifi networks. In other roms, it just turns on wifi and clicking bottom text expands it.
And if you can bother , try this-
Make sure that settings>wifi shows its turned off.
if your rooted then install catlog app from playstore and run it. If you are not rooted then you can connect your phone to PC with usb debugging on and use the following command-
Code:
adb logcat
If wifi is still on in background and sanning then you can see lots of line referring to wpa_supplicant coming in continuously. This is the best way to tell.
The reason I am tellling you to confirm it is because it's rare. Custom roms are reporting wifi was on in battery page even when it was off (logcat method confirms this).

Go to your location settings, hit the 3 dot menu button and select scanning. See if Wi-Fi scanning is selected. If so, this will allow the system to use Wi-Fi scanning to help fix your location and will keep Wi-Fi turned on.

Solved.. It was strange but I did it. See OP:
Hello guys.
As known, some apps work better with accessibility turned on. Usually when manually turned on, it stays so permanently but for some apps, it goes off after reboot.
But it keeps going off for me after a few hours. Apps like Tiles, Round Corners, Navbar & Sesame shortcuts.
Only Nova launcher stays on.
Any help on this issue?
Thanks
I have the same issue. I also have issues getting notifications. They'll all sync at once when I unlock the phone, or if I get on WiFi. Driving me nuts.
Turn off clear app (choose which app you would like to keep) when screen is off, this will solve the problem.
Bought a new Mix 2S with the Global ROM installed (global version) on ebay. Installed Nova Launcher so I could have the app drawer, etc. Loving the phone except 2 major problems have cropped up and am wondering if others have seen it/have solutions.
1. Wifi looses the internet connection often; it shows "connected; no internet" and the phone stops working without a data connection. I am sitting near the router and my other phones have no problem but the mix won't hold the connection even after several reboots. I have to turn wifi on/off or reboot to get the connection back. Zero problems on cellular connections - it's only wifi.
2. Notification sounds stop working. When the phone is awake and for a few minutes afterward, notification sounds work fine then stop. I've shut off miui optimizations in developer options, shut off battery savings for all apps in the battery panel and have confirmed all the apps for which I want to get notifications have the notification options selected under apps yet - notification sounds stop working pretty quickly after the phone sleeps.
Any advice/guidance on these issues would be appreciated. Without a reliable data connection (and I need wifi deep in my building to get internet) the phone is useless and I've stopped using it after a few days.

This bug still remains in latest build (8.10.11). in miui per/app notifications option, notifications are activated by default, BUT yoo can see a few options below each app notification page switch: Sound, vibration, show on lockscreen, show headup....
By default, I seem to remember only vibration option is activated, so here (and on each conversation you got a notification in the case of telegram) you have to activate all options you want: sound, show on lockscreen....
After a while, all this activated options will be resetted by the system (we dont know why) and will switch back to its defaults >> "only vibrate and dont show on lock screen" combination.
Hi, since yesterday I've been noticing something weird on my Motorola Edge Plus 2022: in the notification bar it appeared the notification icon and it doesn't go away. I tried removing all the permission from my apps but it doesn't disappear. From the settings doesn't look like there's any app polling my location and through the active services I tried stopping what's running but to no avail. If I turn my location off and on again it disappears. I really don't know what to do, it's something so weird I never saw before. Thanks!
EDIT: after a while the phone starts polling my location again and nothing appears to be using it in the settings or privacy dashboard. I tried a scan with Malwarebytes and there are no security concerns.
