Hi guys,
on KitKat I used this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.thinksoft.ipulse&hl=it
for manage my data connection. When screen is off, it stops data connection and every x minutes automatically turn it on for x minutes and turn it off data again. I use this because at work I have a very poor signal and it helps me to save battery life.
Now, I see that isn't compatible with lollipop yet, so is there a similar app that work with lollipop?
I cannot find anything, is the main reason that stop me upgraditig to Lollipop.
Thanks!
Hi,
Facing the problem with mobile n/w connectivity after using it with WiFi updating apps with playstore. Need to restart the phone if i need to connect to mobile n/w for data. Anyone facing the issue and got the solution for it
Hi folks
I get this notification frequently when I wake my new Shield LTE tablet up. It comes from the ATT mobile all access application. Interestingly I have never even once activated the ATT mobile hotspot. So it is shocking that it has turned off...
It started after I configured the native Android hot spot. I turned it on and checked that my laptop could connect via WiFi and access the internet. Then I turned off the hotspot (again, natively in Android not through the AT&T app)
.
Any idea how to get the notification to stop short of uninstalling the kinda convenient ATT app? I like it for monitoring usage of the data plan.
Marc
PS shield is stock unrooted 5.01

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
Ive got this issue as well. Its really annoying. I always keep Wifi off to extend battery life but with M I might as well just keep it on...

huh...mine is set to Always keep wifi on during sleep. Does that matter even if wifi is off?
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:

Try to set it 2.4 Ghz only instead of auto (2.4 +5)
Hi guys,
WiFi in my nexus 5 is taking nearly 40% of battery though the WiFi is turned off
This issue started after updating to android 6.0
Is anyone facing this issue or is there any fault with my mobile?
Turn off WiFi scanning. Go to location settings >> options >> scanning and turn off WiFi scanning
I found that it is known issue in nexus 5.
