This used to be in Stamina mode, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Has it moved to another setting (tried looking but can't find it) or has it been completely removed?

It is not missing in D6603. Settings : WI-FI : press the tree dots that are showing in the upper-right corner : Advanced : and there it is.
Do you mind telling me where you can find it there coz I seem to overlook it.
Screenshots from advanced in the wifi settings.
I don't see any location based wifi options here.

Also according to Sony, they removed this feature: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...out-Lollipop-BALTIC-GENERAL/m-p/959335#M24468
Instead you can use Smart Wifi Toggler (or any other app, they all share the same idea). It works basically well and SWT has as well an option to prefer 5Ghz WLAN.

I have wifi-o-matic (similar function), which I used before I had the z3, however trying it on the z3 it seems to open the wifi at random points and never closes it.
Smart Wifi Toggler works properly after some learning phase. I can see Wifi switched off, however the power history shows it all the time on.
Seems Sony got rid of "location based wifi" because they think Google's own scanning always available option has been improved in Lollipop. I very much doubt that.
If wifi matic doesn't improve, I will give smart wifi toggler a go.
I really liked the fact that Sony had baked in the wifi option into their rom, so was slightly annoyed that they removed it with the lollipop upgrade.

Device: Atom Life from Mwg running stock wm6 rom
since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dont get that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S
This might have something to do with me deleting the profiles for wifi networks i dont use anymore. Thats the last time i saw the profiles screen.
i did this due to my ppc connecting on its own to a wifi when antena was off ..more like a pc wifi signal and that annoyed me so i poked around and deleted the profile of that network and others from past.
since then i cannot see even the wifi icon in the top bar all i see is the <-> arrows but with out the antenna in the background i.e <-I->
nor can i find that page where i deleted the network profiles from :S
where is it ?? i think it comes on only when the <-I-> is present.
is this a symptom of something?
u see i do not get this:

installed wefi to see if it fixes things and that Wi-fi icon has disappeared... renamed to network cards :S ( i think) whats going on am i losing settings link heh.
Still cannot connect to tother wifi's , with wefi not even my own :S lol
( might as well ask what backup software i should look into that will back up the rom as well since i feel i should go 6.1, or point me into the right direction for a tutorial to extract my own rom )
Update: uninstalled wefi.
icons back to before state. good.
heres what i got in my connections tab. can some one tell me if i am missing something:
band switch
beam
bluetooth
cell broadcast( what is this feature..thx)
connections
csd line type
grps setting
sms setting
usb to pc ( why does this never work- have to use wm5torage
wi-fi
wifi utility
and mwg wireless manager ( btw when u click wifi in it- it does not change status of wifi only LED turns on )

I get an Error 500 message when I try and visit the web site. It happens on my Nexus 5 on LTE and my home PC.
I guess it's just me?

Just checked, its working fine for me in California, 8:13 pm Pacific Time.
Works for my N5, N7 2012 - both running KitKat and the older HTC's running ICS - locate and ring her's at full volume.
Check your settings to see if it was turned off - power down & reboot it, try again.

Check if your Location settings isn't off!!
It's never worked for me even with the Nexus 4. Google Location Reporting is on. Location is on and is in Battery Saving mode which uses my Wi-Fi connection to locate my phone. Their app is hopeless so I now use an app called Lookout which is a lot more reliable than the Google one.
Changed the Mode to High Accuracy but still no luck locating my phone!!!!

My issue isnt that it doesnt work, it's that I can't even get to the web site. I get an error 500 message when I go to the web site. It happens if I use my phone or my computer with Chrome, AOSP browser, or Internet Explorer on my PC.
I had this app already available for some time, but now that I'm using root access and/or the Xposed framework in the newest version it's probably somewhat relevant for XDA developers!
WiFi Auto Toggle allows you to do few things depending on your WiFi connection:
Auto-Toggle WiFi
Build on the WiFi background scanning function on Android 4.3 the app can scan for WiFi access points even when WiFi is turned off. So what the app is doing here is disabling WiFi when you leave your home network, and automatically re-enable it when you're back.
Auto-Toggle lock screen
When you are in a trusted location you're probably tired of entering your PIN code all the time. WiFi Auto Toggle is doing this job for you and disables your lockscreen when you are connected to a trusted WiFi network.
Limitations
Disabling the lockscreen works without root on a 'normal' phone on Jelly Bean and Kit Kat. But there are limitations on some phones and on newer Android versions:
* If you have a Samsung phone then root access is needed to work around Samsung's firmware modifications. This is done by an Xposed module that comes built-in with the app.
* If you are already running Android L then SuperSU is required to get the persistent background process running that is needed to toggle the lock screen. Due to new SELinux limitations however this process can no longer be launched without root. Also it currently doesn't work with other Superuser apps, it's only working with SuperSU. Root apps need to switch the SELinux context and SuperSU is the only one supporting this.

Hi everyone!
My son gave me his old Samsung Galaxy S7 - SM-G930W8. It has a problem that the WiFi isn't working. I've managed to root and install TWRP on it and then I tried some different ROM's with the same results, still no WiFi.
Is this a hardware problem? If so, is there a way to fix it? Or is this phone a nice MP3 player now?
Thanks!

Is the wifi toggle button present in the pull down menu?
When turned on do you then go into settings, choose the WiFi connection you want to connect to and enter password?
Your device has a mac address is this present in the settings menu or is it blank?
Settings >about phone>status>WiFi mac address
Hi @cooltt
On the pull down menu, the WiFi is shown and it appears to be active:

However, when I go into the WiFi menu in Settings, there are no access points listed:
I seem to have the same problem with the Bluetooth on the device:
Under "About Device" I do have MAC addresses for both the WiFi and Bluetooth:
However, the phone can't see my Anker speaker that is right next to it.

It can be a few things mate have a look here
Was lurking a battery drain thread and 5G came up a couple times so I thought I'd try to switch my band and see what's up. Tried dissecting Settings to the best of my ability and couldn't find sh*t for switching to 4G.
I was determined tho, whipped out the old Google and after a couple searches found a 'Samsung Band Selection' app as a workaround, but I thought the app was overkill for what I wanted. It was pulling a native menu from Settings so I used Tiles(Nova Actions worked too) and looked through its Activities and found that menu myself

No idea if this is even useful for anyone-- thought it was neat. I'm streaming music at work and the network constantly disconnects into a limbo/tug-of-war with finding a suitable connection. Now it's a QS shortcut
Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks -> Network mode -> LTE/3G/2G
LTE is 4G. No dialer codes or fancy backdoor access required.
Right, that's where I originally got frustrated. This is what happens when I click Network Mode and why I even considered making this post
Spoiler: Screen Shots
Completely different menu compared to the unlocked version. Must be a Verizon thing.

Verizon continues to amaze me with the ridiculous chastity belt it puts on each device. Theres only one Flip3 section so I put it under general knowing that it'll only apply to a fraction
The discussions in these threads were super helpful towards my battery drain, but I wish I could follow universal guides for android
The ability to access simple things without needing the planets to be aligned..
If your current network is not working properly and you want to switch your network with verizon so you will take a good decision here you have to use WPS BUTTON OF WIFI ROUTER this network is very fast and it help you to download your work and content.
