wifi bug - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I have the original xnph38r, updated with OTA and when I shutdown the wifi, it remains anyway turned on : the toggle is off but in the battery status is on and drains a little the battery.
I can shutdown it by enabling and disabling later airplane mode.
How to fix it? is it a knowed bug?

Not facing such bug. Check WiFi settings and make sure WiFi scanning always available is unchecked.

[Q] Wifi Sleep Policy of Off Screen on SUperAOSP ROM

I have trouble downloading large files using this ROM since when my screen turns off, WIFI is also disabled. How can I change it. I've been looking in the settings but to no avail.
Edit: Found it...you have to click menu when in the WIFI Settings, then choose advanced.
Edit2: Wifi is disabled when screen is turn off even if the Wifi sleep policy is changed to Never.
Any ideas?
then that is some kind of bug. because setting wifi sleep policy to never should behave as such.
related note, setting wifi sleep to never greatly increases batteyr life, as said thru the forums, because back on 3g the data kills your battery much faster. so allowing wifi to stay on makes a huge improvement on battery.
for example if you leave wifi on overnight, you might lose 5% total. but if it switches back to 3g overnight, you might lose 20%.
is this bug confirmed?
me too have same problem with SuperAosp (i will test with other rom....)

Wifi stops working when idle. How to fix?

Hi,
I just got this phone, and it seems when the phone screen is off and wifi is on idle, I do not get notifications. The wifi icon is orange, and I have to open an application like browser for the wifi to work again.
In the settings I already have it set to wifi being on when screen is off.
How to fix this problem?
Do you have battery saving mode on or any apps that disable wifi when the screen is off? etc

Wifi shuts down during sleep (it is set not to)

The wifi icon disappears after few minutes of screen being off after locking. I did set wifi to be on during sleep. Does anyone else have that issue ? I have a SIP client installed on my phone and need wifi all the time so that is a pain.
Mine does the same thing. I think it might be because I have the *intelligent power saving* checked in "power management" in settings. I think the phone disables data every so often to preserve the battery. Haven't tested my theory by un-checking, but I remember this happening on my Blu studio energy.
I have intelligent power disabled.
I think I am getting this on my phone. Sometimes on wakeup it forgets it is connected to Wifi and apps and chrome won't update. I usually just turn airplane mode on/off to fix it. Still, it is annoying. Doesn't seem to happen with LTE, at least.

Wifi shuts itself off and won't turn back on without reboot (Mix 2S Global 9.5.4.0)

Just got my Mix 2S. It's a Global variant. Global Rom 9.5.4.0. Came factory sealed. Has all the usual Google Apps and so forth. Nothing shady. Unrooted/untouched. Completely stock.
Like the title says. Annoying bug. Wifi will shut itself off, I think during sleep, and not wake up when I use the phone. If I go into wifi menu, the wifi toggle is off and will not turn back on without a reboot. The toggle slides to on for a moment and then goes back to off. Exactly what you see in this video. Any ideas? Know bug? Do I need to wait for the next global version OTA?

Sorry, can't help but have observed exactly this behaviour on my Mix 2 as well. Turning off sleep mode (Settings >> Battery >> Scenes >> Sleep mode) may help.
Any progress here? Same problem.
I had this problem and fixed it by going into wifi settings and setting keep WiFi on during sleep to ALWAYS. Doesn't seem to affect battery life much if at all.
happens to me too now on stable 10.0.4 anyone any input?
I noticed before it started it asked me enable some smart feature to scan for kown wi-fi and turn itself on if it finds (was a prompt) anyone known where that setting is?

Airplane mode problem

toggled airplane mode from quick tiles and the switch is not a solid color but faded and i can make calls so is not real airlpane mode
also cannot turn off airplane from quick tile-only from settings
if i enable airplane mode and restart the phone then the quick tile color is solid and the airplane mode is properly enabled but when i turn off from settings cannot find the network so i must restart phone
i think is a bug on last 2 security updates
anybody has this problem?
everybody with note 10/plus please check if you have the problem and report here
also check this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/n9750-stuck-airplane-mode-help-t4000119
went to store and the same with their unit
Hi AndrOmega
I have the exact same problem on my A8.
Although the icon says the phone is in airplane mode, the data and the network are still active.
It appeared after the last security update.
The mobile data can be switched off from the quick tiles board but is there a way to deactivate the network connection independently from the airplane button?
Cheers
Frederic
No problem on my note 10 with latest security update
The airplane mode works well with the quick toggle
after update to android 10 is back to normal
Still issue on A8 2018
Hi again,
I come back on this thread since it seems that Samsung has no intention to upgrade A8 2018 to Android 10. So I am still stuck with my issue on airplane mode.
Anyone has a trick for this?
Thanks in advance
Fred
Any more info on what causes the problem, and how to solve it?
