Anyone know why wifi keeps scanning even though you're connected. I can understand when you're looking for a signal but when you're connected already? Ugh...

For when u want to change to a different AP ....

From what I understand, you can change the scan interval in the build.prop file in the /system directory. I have mine set to 120.
If you are looking at wifi settings, depending on if you are stock and what rom you have, you may see it scan every 5 seconds, or constantly (stock).
This only happens when you are looking at the wifi settings themselves. When you exit the wifi settings menu, it goes back to whatever you have set in build.prop
Blade Buddy (in the market), will allow you to change the Wifi scan interval, it's under Advanced Settings, the setting is "wifi.supplicant_scan_interval". The app requires root/superuser privs. Default from AT&T is every 15 seconds, Infused ROM sets it to 120 to save battery. Be sure to hit the menu soft button, apply, then save and restart the phone.

I was under the impression that blade buddy and build prompt changes are only affecting the scan while NOT connected...
Changing those settings does not appear to change how frequent it scans WHILE connected to an ap

I think there is a miss understanding...give me 20 minutes to test my theory...
be back soon.
VERIFIED ...huge misconception
so...running a log I see that yes
Wifi monitor, process 680, runs exactly every 2 minutes, just as set in the build prop. It always does this.
Wifi SETTINGS, process 5890, runs every time you open wifi settings and updates the access points..once you close wifi settings it stops.
I can see what they did here...Many other devices have a manual scan (menu, scan) they made the scan for ap's auto when you open wifi settings, and only when you open wifi settings. that particular scan (process 5890) is not running constantly. It stops when you close wifi settings.
process 680 runs every 2 minutes while wifi is on. I don't have my other devices with me, and have never noticed or looked at this process before so for all I know it's this way on any device. I will look into that more later. Given that process 5890 is the one that actually updates the list of ap's...I wonder what exactly process 680 is doing.
I am at work and don't have the time that I want to spend on this (my employees have interrupted me 3 times while I typed this lol)
Hello all I'm new to XDA but I have use many of the guides!
Today I used the tweaking for changing the interval of wifi searching
Code:
adb shell sed -i '$a\wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180' /system/build.prop
But when putting it to 180 my phone keeps switching to 2g/3g after a min or so until the next wifi scan..
this happens in my home, theres a weak wifi connection in my room I'm guessing thats why..
So I was wondering does anyone know a recommended interval? so that it updates enough but doesn't drain battery life like crazy?
atm I have put it to 20
Lol, I know how to add stuff into build.prop but don't know how to delete!!!
How do I delete lines? I notice I have wifi interval 2x now with 2different value's idk if thats good..

Multiple ways:
- Use a root capable text editor app on your android device.
- A console text editor like vim on adb shell.
- Pull the file on your computer, edit it, push it back

Done ty
I can't seem to get ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 into build.prop with command prompt on computer, I've got most of the other tweaks in :s Should I try and enter it manualy with File expert? or not to mess with it?
Edit: Nevermind got it!! Anyone knows a recommended vallue for the wifi interval though? I had it on 20 but my battery was empty in 1day.. and I haven't used it THAT much, I've put it to 60 now and I noticed it switched to 3g/2g again for short time.
Sometimes WIFI just disconnects, i'm not sure its related to that value.
What is the default setting?

No idea.. I switched to 180 because some tweaking guide told me to lol but since I did that it kept changing.. so I did to 20 now to 60..
Hehe, should have noted what the normal value is and go from there.
You could extract the file from a stock ROM and to know the default value.
My default value is 15.
Hope this helps

Hi guys this is my first post in HOX forum, I just got mine 1 week ago.
So the main problem I have so far is that my HOX gets disconnected from wifi at home periodically. It just suddenly drops and then reconnects by itself. Does anyone experience the same? If not I'm considering exchange a new one.
Thanks guys!

I do.. but my router's a POS without an external antennae. so I can't give good answer on that.
Mine does, frequently. I've seen posts regarding the problem, and maybe even a fix. But it doesn't bother me enough to risk breaking something else in the process.

I upgraded to the beastmode kernel and this started happening to me too.
Running the normal CleanROM 4.5 Rom fixed the problem for me.
Last night I took a logcat of when this disconnect happens... But I dont really know how to debug it.
I have the same issue, with an additional problem. When WiFi disconnects I lose mobile data too. Toggling airplane mode brings back mobile data. WiFi may or may not connect for a little bit afterwards.

Why don't you all post up what bands your running on and what you have set on your router. We can map it out a little better

Good idea 18th.abn. I'll start.
With BeastMode Kernel v3 I have this problem. However I don't have the problem with the stock CleanROM 4.5 kernel. I will test CleanROM V with CleanKernel tonight and see if the problem is still there.
I did get a logcat while the disconnect happened... I took a couple and will have to remember which one was which... I don't really know how to read a logcat file though. Anyone good with linux? Does that help at all?
Problem happens with 2 separate routers. I'm a BAMF so I have 2 routers on my home network, 1 to service each band, and only that band.
Router 1:
Name: Linksys WRT320N
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/16/10) mega
(SVN revision 14289)
Band: 5Ghz N-only, 40Mhz channel width, control channel lower, wireless channel auto.
Security: WPA2-PSK (Personal), AES
Router 2:
Name: Netgear WGR614v10
Firmware: Stock
Band: 2.4Ghz G-only, channel 11, "up to 54mbps mode"
Security: WPA2-PSK, AES
EDIT: added logcats.
Okay, so I suck at this and have forgotten which one is which. I believe it was my latest one that shows the disconnect (logcat 3). I can make another soon enough.
Logcat1
Logcat2
Logcat2
Do you have the same issue on both routers?
In logcat3, it looks like it connects for just a little bit, then once disconnected, it attempts but can't get fully connected again....it was a quick glance but is that the case?

I believe your issue is right here...could be wrong but
W/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [EAP-MSG] EAP [email protected]: eap_methods not available
I/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [SeamLess] This is already connected so rejected to 00:23:69:eb:98:6a
I/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [SeamLess] flag_disconnect is reset i.e., Seamless is give it up
Here is the why its not working, its looking for sim authentification-
To run an EAP-SIM/AKA authentication you will need a client as wpa_supplicant which has access to a (U)SIM. The WLAN access point on the network has to support EAP (which is often transcribed as WPA(2)-RADIUS or WPA(2)-ENTERPRISE). The WLAN AP has to have access to a RADIUS server who handles the authentication and session key generation. The RADIUS server in a productive environment needs for EAP-SIM/AKA access to the home location register (HLR) of the MNO where the (U)SIMs are registered. For testing a file with precreated values for authentication is sufficient.
I think your security is possibly on Wpa2-EAP, Which would explain the eap-sim call, and I doubt you have a RADIUS server giving out session keys to authenticate....double check your security settings
To add. Here's a good little write up in optimum router settings with your wireless n. I see a few things in your setup that could be killing or seriously slowing your wireless connections...

I would DEF. drop to 20mhz from 40mhz, that alone might fix your problem. I had big problems with tabs and phones connecting at 40mhz. 20 should help a lot and don't select auto, keep at 20.
Wireless channel, u have set on lower channels, lower channels are usually busier, there's an app, wifi analyzer, it will show you the least busy channels and then choose A channel, don't let it bounce around and choose for you.
Dd-wrt has an infinite amount of twee king/tuning options, as you already know but is extremely easy to make a great connection a worthless one all the same...
Try just switching to 20mhz and nothing else at first......it just might be the root issue for you also
Thanks, I'll try that out and report back.

My problem is that WiFi was fine for a while, then would disconnect, and then reconnect a second or two later. However, I did take a look at that guide you posted (I really like smallnetbuilder) and made some changes to my setup that they (and you) suggested. I'm still in the process of testing it.

My security was (and still is) set as WPA2 Personal with "AES" as the WPA algorithm. This is correct for my home network, is it not? At least that's what I set in the "wireless security" tab of dd-wrt under wireless. I see that there is something under "advanced settings" called "authentication type" which has a radio button for "auto" and "shared key". Right now it's on auto. Think I should change it to "shared key"?
"Authentication Type:
You may choose from Auto or Shared Key. Shared key authentication is more secure, but all devices on your network must also support Shared Key authentication."

I just made some changes based on the guide you posted. I also made sure to drop the channel width down to 20mhz (I didn't know that made so much of an impact. Kudos for that piece of advice. I chose to use channel 36, 5.180Ghz, based on my testing with wifi analyzer. No one else in the neighborhood has a 5Ghz router (Apparently).
I'll see what tonight's testing yields.
Awesome, hope it helps! As far as the disconnecting, catalog shows it searching for aes-sim authentification and I don't know why. Its connected, then disconnects because already connected....*LIGHT BULB* Make sure WiFi settings on device is set to 5ghz and not auto.....that may be why its giving a already connected in catlog

Are you saying the WiFi settings on my phone? I won't be able to set it to 5ghz only as I connect to various 2.4ghz networks throughout the day.
I haven't seen the error again yet *knock on wood*
Maybe you fixed it.
Awesome, I bet it was the 40mhz that was doing it glad u got it!
I spoke too soon. I was browsing XDA on my phone, clicked a new page and it disconnected for a second and reconnected immediately.
New logcat. I saved this one only a few seconds after it reconnected. It should say something about WiFi at the very bottom of the logcat file. Do these things even help you guys?

You're solving an issue that doesn't really pertain to the original bug. If anything, start a new thread in general here, but don't bring back this thread because of its lack of relevance.
The issue deals with the WiFi on 4.2.2 (not kitkat) dropping out and coming back in. It's an issue that's based on the kernel we had. Your solution is based on timing out. It's not the same bug.
And just for the record, I'm a user. Just like you are. So what would my job exactly be? Yes, I just started to develop too, but don't accuse me of not caring about helping others. I've been helping out for a long while now. I don't believe we really have "jobs" on this forum because none of us are obligated do anything. It's a bunch of people following etiquette and helping each other.
On my S5, all saved wifi connections were visible in the wifi settings page. On the S7, it seems that only the connections within range are visible. If you go into the data usage / restrict networks, every saved wifi connection is displayed, but there is no way to delete them from there. It seems that there is no way to delete a saved wifi connection once it goes out of range. Anyone know how to do this?

Exactly the same issue here. Anyone got any workarounds (non-root)? Third party apps don't seem to work. Pretty ridiculous that you can't forget a saved network and causes a serious issue for me: I have to change my password at work and can't forget the WiFi AP before getting to the office so I'm locked out of my work account...
It is a bit annoying but I can't see how it's a problem?
How are you locked out of your work account?
You can change password when you are in range.
What's the other issue?

When i received my S7 i "load" an backup from my old android phone... I few days earlier i returned from a long holiday trip and so the "restore-backup" created a lot of hotspots an my S7 i never never need and i'm not able to delete ....

We use exchange authentication for WiFi at work. The phone automatically tries to connect using the old password as soon as i'm near the office. Does this three times and locks my ability to use the WiFi. This is before i have chance to see it and forget it in the WiFi settings. Such a simple omission in the UX makes this even an more annoying issue.
Yeah OK the work thing sounds a bit troublesome. I would turn off wifi before I go then turn it on when I'm ready and forget the network before it connects.

The holiday wifi hotspot thing i don't get still.
Why is that a problem? You can't see the networks anyway. Is it just an ocd thing?

The problem with the holiday Hotspots is at least not a real problem... But I don't like this.
I would prefer a function to delete Hotspots even when I'm not connected to them...
(maybe it is small security issue, because a common SSID can be used to connect with my phone...)
Wifi Manager - choose Known network, then remove.
I reported this to Samsung support. That's the only way to get them to fix it. The more people report it, the more likely they are to fix it sooner.
As for whether it's a "problem", I suppose it's not immediately a show stopper. However, after only a couple of weeks, I accumulated a lot of hotspots that clutter up the restrict networks page. Who knows, if too many build up it could cause an problem. There is no reason for Samsung to have implemented it in this way. I've never seen a device (mobile or pc) that did this.

Thanks, but Android 6 only allows you to forget those networks that you've connected to using the same app. So you can only forget those that you connected to with WiFi Manager, not the in-built settings.

Edit: you're correct. I think root and find where file or db that stores the SSID would be the next option.
Edit 2: Get a root editor, backup /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, then edit it to either remove the entire SSID entry, or set autojoin to 0. There may be root apps that does this.
The plain text passwords are also stored in that supplicant file.
I don't think there is any non-root solution until Samsung changes the Wifi settings to show out-of-range SSIDs. I agree that it is silly for it to not do have this feature at all.
2 solutions so far (?)
Hi,
if you have a non rooted S7 there is no build in possibility to delete the saved wifi connections if you are out of range. Samsung has to fix this in my opinion.
With Marshmallow you can only delete wifi networks with the same app you created them, so third party apps like wifi manager do not work. So far there might be two solutions which work, both are far away from being perfect.
- First solution is to delete ALL network connections...and start from the beginning (1. Go to settings -> 2. Bakup and reset -> 3. Reset network settings -> 4. Follow on screen instructions)...including bluetooth etc.
- Second solution is not fine either. Take a third party app like wifi manager from Kostya on play store and list all known networks. Then set up a (fake) wifi access point with the SSID you want to delete. Once they are in range, you can delete the saved wifi connection. You have to repeat this for every SSID you want to delete.
Best regards,
Alexander

can not remove!
I updated my S7 today (with Sprint) to Android 7, and they fixed this. Out-of-range WiFi networks are listed under the "Manage Networks" options and can be removed from there.
This is based off a hack that @paul21122 made. that was shared here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/nougat-root-guide-tips-tricks-root-t3573195
basically i used to have the unlimited family plan for 9 years (Sprint) and it didnt come with a hotspot so i always rooted etc. Now i switched to a unlimited Freedom plan which includes 10 GIGs of hotspot
Well what i did was used the above link (see hotspot hack in above link) then when i turned on my hotspot i still did the toggle data deal like i had no hotspot.
i used the hotspot to watch Videos on netflix (on my PC) for 2 hours then checked sprint site for my hotspot use (Its at Zero still)
How to: after applied hack above
1 Turn on hotspot
2 toggle off data then toggle it back on and thats it. when your done just shut off hotspot
Remember if your hotspot is interrupted by a phone call etc RE TOGGLE DATA
You may want to use it and check sprint site for your own hotspot usage (to be safe) but for me its using all LTE and no hotspot data when done as shown above
UPDATE : after the 8/31/17 system update QH1, I checked again and did the hotspot then toggle data and watched youtube for 45 minutes. not one minute counts toward Hotspot data its all LTE only!!! Enjoy
Thanks again to @paul2112 for adb hack
You are the **** and underrated.

It doesnt change your static ip it just makes the phone reconnect and use regular data use instead of hotspot showing activated and running (after you toggle data off, then on , While hotspot is turned on)

I added the static ip service to my plan on the sprint page, I just can't seem to get the hotspot working the only way it'll work is when I revert only but that uses up the 10 gb monthly hotspot limit and before I added static ip I was able to do the bypass and it wouldn't consume any of the hotspot limit, I want to be able to use the bypass and keep the static ip rather than removing it from my plan because that makes it so my nat is open for gaming online.

i dont think im allowed to link to google but i put that in the search and i got a few promising leads. most were ATT but the general idea should work with sprint. using a VPV might be one way. ill look some more.

Does this work with other phones like the Note 8? Also, does it work with the Android 8 update?

I added the static ip service to my plan on the sprint page, I just can't seem to get the hotspot working the only way it'll work is when I revert only but that uses up the 10 gb monthly hotspot limit and before I added static ip I was able to do the bypass and it wouldn't consume any of the hotspot limit, I want to be able to use the bypass and keep the static ip rather than removing it from my plan because that makes it so my nat is open for gaming online.

You need to install QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store. Look for Sprint Support menu. Tap on DataEditActivity and then Try. Navigate to the LTE menu, and look for LTE_Available file. There, you just press it and clear it.
The same thing happened to me, I saw this as a solution in another XDA thread.

I used PdaNet with WiFi Direct, setting up the proxy, and it works OK for web browsing.
FYI: On Android 12 for Samsung you can add a new APN under Access Point Names without jumping thru hoops. Just tap on add new APN (make sure to copy everything from original APN) and add dun to the apn type field. Save the update and now you have free Hotspot (data counts against your main data bucket).
