Check to make sure "always allow scanning" is turned off under Settings - Wifi - Advanced.

Don't know if this has been already figured out, but I have been suffering from wifi calling drops every 3 to 5 minutes, and nothing I could do would fix it... Was sent a replacement phone, and that was even worse.
For whatever reason, after running the wifi calling app, go under settings
Settings >> Connection Preferences >> SET TO Wi-Fi Only
This stopped my wifi from dropping my calls.
The downside to this is obviously, you need to change this setting once you are outside or where you no longer want to use Wi-Fi calling. Switch to Wi-Fi preferrered OR Cellular Preferred.
Does anyone know if a script could be written to do this from the desktop... using Gscript??? I am sure I could figure it out well enough to write it...
did you ever check your wifi sleep policy settings?
default state, i believe, turns off wifi when the screen turns off. I have mine set to 'never'.
Not sure --- where is wifi sleep?
But I know I tried to use Wifi Fixer from the Market, and I am sure that this app would do this as it was supposed to fix wifi connections.
Go into Settings, then WiFi settings, then menu button, then advanced settings. Sleep policy is first option. Set to never..but it will lessen your battery a bit...

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!

Like I said, I have tried all settings. Scanning always available is off and even disabled location services.

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.
I have the T-mobile LG G2 D801. Every time I am near an AT&T wifi hotspot, my phone "knows" my location and automatically turn on the wifi and connect to it, even skipping the usual web login agreement. This is the first time I have seen this feature on a none-AT&T phone. Has anyone else notice this?
Very interesting ability but how does my phone knows I am near the AT&T wifi when my wifi is already set to off?
How do I disable this feature (none-rooted phone).
I haven't noticed this on mine; I'll have to watch for it. There is a "scanning always available" setting in the Advanced Wi-Fi settings, it is enabled on my phone.

Yes, this feature was turned off and my phone still automatically detects I am near a Starbucks and connect to the wifi there.

I ask because it manages your wifi and can turn it on automatically good app though. Idk what your issue might be then, I've never had an issue like that.
Hi,
Anyone seeing this weird Wifi "Running" issue in 4.4.4? Screenshots are attached.
In wifi advance set to NEVER when phone sleeps and in screenshot clearly sees wifi turned on during "non awake" over night. Is this normal?
More detail
Keep wifi on during sleep - Never
Scanning always available - NO
Avoid poor connections - NO
Wifi frequency band - AUTO
WIFI optimiation - NO
No such issue here .. Stock 4.4.4 unrooted
Location services on?
I have the same "wifi running". I noticed that wifi shows up in my battery stats for some reason. However, I don't have the intermittent wifi on and off. I do have wifi always on though.

Not sure why you need to disable wifi while screen is off, but if you really need this function, have Tasker do it for you.

Try wifi, advanced setting, turn on wifi automatically setting to off.

but isn't this automatic connecting to the saved wifi connection when within range? thanks
sleep option has been removed so you can try to disable optimise settings under device care/advanced and see if that hopefully makes a difference and/or go adb route
