Ever since updating my Moto G to KitKat wifi remains on all the time even if I select 'Only when plugged in' for the wifi sleep policy. It was fine while on Jelly Bean. Anyone else have this problem?

i had the same issue and posted the question here in the forum i got some replies, but nothing helped. here is the link to my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608546
hope some one responds to our issue.
Interestingly I've solved the problem, on my phone at least. I switched from ART back to Delvik runtime as a few apps wouldn't run and now WiFi is switching off when the screen is off.

I experienced what I believe to be the same issue with my N5 - I used to have my wifi policy set to "Never" so that wifi would be turned off when the screen is off and it used to work. Recently I thought I'd give ART a shot and after using it for a while, found that wifi stayed on regardless of what the policy was set to. I disabled all background syncing apps (google account, fb, etc.) and all location services and the wifi never switched off the way it used to. I also tried wifi optimisation on/off, avoid poor connections on/off, and always searching on/off but nothing fixed it.
Even after switching back to Dalvik though, it still doesn't work properly. Currently doing a factory reset and will see if it works after and report back
Any solution yet? Mine does the same and I tried everything, from turning off location to uninstalling maps (seeing they have an option to activate wifi) to factory reset and nothing helped.
Advanced Wifi Settings
In Advanced settings is Scanning always available
ensue this is off,otherwise location services will look for networks even if wifi is off,so presumably it turns it on to do this!

Finally my phone alive now with fastboot downgrade with 4.3 brazilian retail version .only problem is that wifi is not working.plse help
please check the router setting of which the device connect access to internet, under wifi setting in the router homepage check if the channel is not selected to AUTO, please choose channel ex: 1,2,3,4,5 etc and connection frequency to single band i.e 20MHZ or 40 MHZ, but it might also work in auto band mode selection. I had the same issue on my HTC A9 android version marshmellow but when i changed the setting it works fine.
In my experience with Stock ROMs, this issue (Wi-Fi always active in Battery Stats even though sleep policy is set to: Never) is caused by an installed app.
Viber has a setting in General > Wi-Fi sleep policy.
Not every app will have such an option, but check. All you can do if the issue persists is to clean install ROM and one by one start adding your apps to see when the problem reoccurs.
There may be apps (or an xposed module) that will allow you to stop apps changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy. I've not done any research on the topic.
Wi-Fi Scanning can be enabled or disabled and does not have an affect.

Hi!
I have a 14.71.8.falcon_umts retail german firmware @ android 4.3 + supersu rooted phone and recently I've noticed my Wi-Fi always turns itself on after some time (even in airplane mode!)
I tried disabling most user apps, disabling location services (in settings and google apps) and turning off all advanced wifi options (scanning always available, keep wifi during sleep = never, wi-fi optimisation) but no luck...
Is there maybe any way to figure out which app is turning wifi on?
Thanks for any ideas!

That sounds like hardware...Do a reset to see if that helps. Not sure about rooted devices though.

Try going into settings, wifi, Advanced and check the option to leave the wifi on during idle only when connected.

Google Maps recently gained a new permission to be able to connect/disconnect wifi. Try uninstalling or freezing Google Maps and see if the problem stops.

I didn't know about that: and then they wonder why people use Xposed FW to access App Ops.
My wifi has been off since i upgraded to M, clean install from the Google images. It still reports my wifi as on and using up my battery....is this a bug or am i reading this incorrectly?

I don't know if this is a setting in marshmallow, but I know in KitKat if you go into the advanced settings menu on the wifi page there is an option that allows the phone to automatically turn on and scan for networks without any user intervention. That setting should be turned off.

You're not alone I'm using mine, but WiFi wasn't on top of the list ever in 5.1.1. Has to be a bug

Since I'm still running kitkat i can't speak for marshmallow, but on KitKat, the wifi on/off toggle takes priority over that setting. Wifi will only stay on during sleep if it was turned on to begin with, but that isn't the issue you guys are experiencing right? There might be an option in that same menu that says something like "let Android search for networks even if wifi turned off". That gives the results you guys are experiencing.
Go to settings-->location-->menu-->scanning and check if WiFi and Bluetooth scanning options are kept on..
I don't have this issue..

Both are checked, i unchecked them both. What were the status of yours?
When I flashed the Factory Image (6.0) I had this problem. I flashed back to 5.1.1 booted the phone. Then booted into recovery and sideloaded the OTA update to 6.0 booted the phone and preformed a factory reset. I do not have this problem anymore. Wifi doesn't even show up in the battery stats.

During initial setup Google asked me if I wanted to keep WiFi scanning enabled to help apps with location to find the location easily.. I declined.. Hence they were off..
Did it help with the battery?

Just an update on battery life. 1.5h SOT no WiFi bug (after sideloading the OTA update) also noticed the battery graph added Camera and Flashlight if they were used
Also discussing the same issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/wifi-plaguing-android-marshmallow-t3220031
Try to set it 2.4 Ghz only instead of auto (2.4 +5)
I'm not sure if this is a Nexus 5 problem or a 6.0 Marshmallow problem but the problem occurred after the update to 6.0 on both Nexus 5s for me and my wife.
There seems to be some bug with my phone while it is asleep (screen is off but phone is on). When it is in this mode, it will not stay connected to wifi. For example, when I enter an area that has wifi, my phone will not connect. It will only connect when I wake the phone. And this isn't just a matter of the phone taking a while to connect. It NEVER connects. Before the update, my phone used to make a connection with my home router before I even walked inside. Now, I can be inside for hours and the phone never connects, until I wake it up. As soon as I wake the phone, the phone makes the connection with no problem. After a few minutes of the phone being asleep, I will wake the phone and the wifi connection will be gone. Now that it is awake again, it connects again with no problem.
I have tried forgetting the network and creating a new one, I have tried different routers, I have tried wiping the cache partition. I haven't tried a full factory reset, and I'd prefer not to, but I guess I will if I have to.
Just thought I would check here first and see if anyone had other thoughts.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that is what I thought at first also. I meant to say in my original post that my wifi settings are set to "Always On" during sleep. I've tried toggling that between the settings but still have the trouble.
Sorry, my Nex 5 has not this issue on Android 6 build MRA58K.
Alessandro
Yup, have the same issue. When the phone goes to sleep, it seems to disconnects from the wifi and never connects after I wake the phone. When I go into the wifi settings, I see "WIFI Connection Failure". I have to reconnect manually. Like the OP, have it set to always on as well. I also know it's not a router issue because I've tried this on four different routers (two linksys, one Dlink, one TPLink) All same results.
Wonder if this is a phone issue?

Google upped this to a high priority Friday morning (Nov 6). The bad news is I think there a couple different WiFi symptoms being discussed here. Most of what is being discussed is the issue being discussed here (not reconnecting when the screen is off).
No idea when this will be fixed, so I build a Tasker profile to toggle WiFi every 15 minutes when not already connected to force a reconnect. I’ve observed it getting disconnected on its own overnight. This should avoid unnecessarily using cellular data.
I’m perpetually waiting for the next release of Android to fix annoying bugs.

Thanks for the update Gary. The comment #6 describes my situation exactly. In doing some troubleshooting of my own, I find the disconnection trouble to happen less while on a 5Ghz network vs 2.5. I still have the trouble of it not connecting initially when I come into range, but I find that it is able to hold the connection while asleep.
I am also experiencing this on my Nexus 5 and also found and starred the thread above.
I just listened to 20min of streaming with Spotify to then realize that it had gone into Doze and used the mobile data!
This is more than annoying...
Maybe by disabling Doze for some specific connectivity-related system app? Anyone tried that?
Yes, I moved virtually all of the services type of apps (the ones with the green generic Android icon) to the battery not optimized list. It didn't make any difference for me.
In some ways it seems like it might be a Doze problem, and in other ways it doesn't. Doze shouldn't be affecting anything when the phone is in my pocket and I walk in the house to my WiFi. It also shouldn't be affecting anything when the phone is being charged, which is when I see frequent WiFi disconnects.
It will be real disappointing if this isn't fixed with 6.0.1.
This is still an issue with 6.0.1. Nexus 5 (2013) 6.0.1 MMB29K updated through OTA ZIP pushed with ADB.
Things work properly for a while right after a reboot and then WiFi never connects until the screen is turned on.
Google Connectivity Services C.1.6.7 (2466695) update didn’t make a difference either.
Same problem as the thread starter. HTC A9 anroid 6.0. (newest available OS)
Same problem here with a Nexus 5 .
Please star the problem if you have it.

Has anyone tested with a non-stock kernel ?
I'm asking because the problem seems +/- resolved on CM13 (non caf).
No counting CM13, do you know of a more stable rom with the problem resolved?
Does anyone here have Wemo devices? I am reading that wemos, and possibly other devices that emit their own wireless network, may cause problems. I have several of these devices around the house, and wonder if that might be contributing. However, that only would solve the dropped connection bug I have, not the failing to connect while asleep but I have.
Hi mates, my Nexus 5 (android 6.0.1,M8974A-2.0.50.2.29) gets the same troubles with wifi connection but today I tried to put some apps in non optimized list of Doze and seems workig fine.
Thats my non optimized Doze list:
-Google Play Services
-System UI
Try it and let me know if it works properly.

I had Google Play Services already set to not optimize, but hadn't tried System UI. I will try that out and see what happens.

Welp, that didn't work. Still have the error after not optimizing System UI in addition to Google Play Services.
I don't know if the issue is resolved, but at least for me, it never worked fine so many days after testing some new workaround.
So, this was what I did in my Nexus 5 (latest build, MOB30H).
Uninstall or deactivate Google Connectivity Services, reset your network settings (you will lose your Wifi networks and BT pairings), reboot.
My Nexus 5 has been connecting to the wifi networks even with the screen off for the last 6 days.

I have a stock galaxy s7, no root, no custom rom. When I wake up the phone from sleep, I often find that it lost wifi connection and I have to reconnect it manually.
I have tested 3 wifi networks and this happens only with 2 of them, so this make me think that it's a modem issue. BUT my previous phones (lg g3s, samsung galaxy s4 mini, meizu mx5) worked fine with the same connections, so this make me think that it's a phone's issue.
I have ''smart network switch'' disabled and also ''bluetooth scanning'' disabled (I read on AndroidCentral that bluetooth scanning could cause the problem, but it's not my case). The problem persists even with the latest firmware update.
Any suggestion? What can I do?
All the wifi networks I tested are 2.4 Ghz, the signal is strong and the wifi channel is relatively free.
I've experienced the oppsite problem.
My Wi-Fi is always on. Either I choose the "While charging" or "Never" option in "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" setting in Wi-Fi More menu.
Here I find an article about How to disable background Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning in Marshmallow.
But in S7's firmware there isn't Scanning option in overflow menu in Location setting like it showed by pictures.
I'm very confused.

The options that you are looking for are in a subsection inside the location settings. I don't know how the subsection is called in English because I'm italian and I use italian language, but it think it's ''location improvement', or something like that. Also, I have the exynos version of the S7, if you have the snapdragon one maybe this subsection could be absent or in another position.
But to be honest I don't think that you can solve your problem this way... Have you tried to reset to factory settings? Or have you checked if there is an app that forces the wifi to stay awake?
Btw, I did not solved my problem yet. I contacted Samsung assistance yesterday, and they told me that I have to send them the phone for reparation, but I'm sure that it could be solved modifying some parameters on my router... I don't want to leave them my phone for 2-4 weeks, beacuse I'm sure that they would send me it back with the same problem. If I find out a solution I will post it.

Yes, both works fine. I have the Exynos SM-G930F
I solved the problem. I disabled the WOW FI service on my router and the phone never disconnected again. WOW FI is a new service of my internet provider that allows to share your wifi connection between all the customers of the provider, splitting the wifi connection in 2 separate connections, one private and one public. For some reason the S7 didn't like the second connection.
Samsung S7 WiFi forced to sleep
Hi
I've been having this extremely annoying condition too, since the last software update.
I came to the conclusion that it was some kind of aggressive power management setting that was putting all kinds of apps to sleep.
Today.... I think I might have found a solution... I say might, as it's only been a few hours..
So I've done is this..
Go to settings.
Search for "Battery"
Click on the three menu dots in the top right hand corner.
Click on "Advanced Settings"
Turn off "App Power Monitor"
So far, so good.
My WiFi stays connected and the 2 VoIP apps and Text-to-voice app are alive and well.
Curiously, my battery drain doesn't seem affected.
I'd be interested to know if this solution works for other people.
Good luck.

Hi,
since yesterday I have problem with wifi in my S7 (SM-G930F). It keeps turning on and off every second or two. I cannot switch it off because it keeps switching. I have rebooted my device, but it didn't help me. My phone is not rooted, it has stock 6.0.1 firmware. How to fix it? Despite it's impossible to use wifi now, it keeps draining my battery.

I saw it yesterday at work, but not authenticated. Now it is remembered in list. Sadly S7 has no option to forget networks out of range. Todays we have national holidays, but on Monday I will be at work and try to forget this network. I do not want to change rom because rom from my operator has wifi calling enabled and it is awesome.
Is there any chance that WiFi scanning is turned on? I recently saw that WiFi scanning will briefly turn my WiFi on then off repeatedly (shows with an indicator on top and I hadn't noticed that before). This first showed up when I installed Android Auto since it turned on my WiFi scanning option by default. As soon as I turned WiFi scanning off, the WiFi worked as it had before. It may be worth a look.
I've run into the same issue. Started yesterday, which may have come with the latest PJG update... Not sure.
But it's rendered my phone pretty much useless. The constant toast message popping up, saying "Network connectivity is available" gets in the way of the keyboard and I can't type a damn thing!
Like you, I've found it's stuck with reboots and a factory reset, which makes me think it could be the firmware or modem.
Edit: Disabling WiFi Scanning stopped the errors. Root cause is still unknown, though. I've never had to disable that before...

Yep. It was turned on, but I have it enabled since I bought this phone. Turning off neutralized my problem, but why it was broken for last few days when I haven't done anything with my phone? I rely on this feature because of localization accuracy and disabling it is just temporary fix.
edit:
Guys, one more thing:
do you have "Samsung Gear" app installed? I think this app is forcing to enable and disable wifi. Under localization it shows battery usage as high and it was updated last week

My phone does not have the Samsung Gear app installed. I do use Samsung Pay regularly and that was also updated (engine and app). I don't know how that would relate to WiFi though.

Turning off WiFi scanning stops the constant switching of WiFi. I tried removing the system settings permission from all the apps that had it (even the Google app) but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
I am seeing the same issue, I did not touch my screen in the following video

disabling "Wi-Fi scanning" in location helps.
Hi,

-Reset network settings
I was having constant disconnections from wifi and it solved it.

Did the above solve the problem?
I am using G930F in US on ATT and encountered the same problem in past few days, where wifi kept turning on and off. Was searching this post, and found out that if i turn off wifi scanning i can get wifi to stay off (when i switched off ) and wifi on (when switched to on) and not flip back and forth.
go to settings.
- click on search
- type in improve accuracy
- select from choice
- turn off wifi scanning
Try that and hope that helps.
I have the same problem. The side effect is that it will drain the battery really fast.
As others have mentioned, after I have turned off the WiFi scanning in the location setting the problem is temporarily gone. However it should not be the solution as I really need the WiFi location to work. I don't know what is causing the bug.
P. S. I only see this problem starting from the last week or so. I leave the WiFi scanning location function on since I have bought the phone in May. Mine is Exynos version.
several Samsung devices have this issue.
I and several others have it on a note 4, and some people have also reported having this problem on S6 variants.
The problem is Google Play Services 10.0.84 version. Another cell phones with this version of Google Play Services have the same problem (ej. Google Pixel phone) but not all.
The problem is the Android Wear App. Deinstall the app and wifi works perfekt.
This issue starts with the last update of the wear app.
Hope i could help you.

I tried uninstalling Android Wear but it didn't make a difference. The wifi kept switching on and off.
As mentioned above, it's Google Play Services 10.0.84. Just disable wifi scanning until there is an update. Hopefully google won't take too long to push a fix.
