Excuse me, can i know what is your csc country, i think it's a rom problem
Mine is UAE, are you the same?

I have the same problem on stock nougat without root or any other mods. Didnt recognize it until i created a tasker profile which depends on the wifi. Now i clearly see that there is a problem, cause the profile switches on and off.
I have already disabled bluetooth/wifi scan, smart network switch and set the wifi to always on - nothing helps...

I have the same problem and I have a (BTU) CSC. I thought it was to do with my battery saving apps and RAM optimisers, so for example for me L Speed but for other it may be Greenify, BatteryCare etc. These apps contain a feature called Aggressive Doze which causes things to shut down and close off while phone has been left inactive for more than 6 mins because if you notice our WiFi doesn't turn off straight away. I would definitely like to whitelist the WiFi application but I am unsure on how to do so. It's really annoying when trying to download big files and WiFi constantly keeps turning off and me having to keep screen on all of the time.
This could be completely wrong but please let me know if you and other guys on this thread are using such apps

[Q] My wifi turns on and off

Hey there,
I'm having a weird issue with my stock Nexus S. I've tried a few custom roms, but after realizing that I was better off with stock, I flashed stock again... Now, I've noticed that sometimes, with the WiFi off, I would receive emails and Google+ notifications! It turns out that my wifi is turning on and off, and I don't know how!
I don't have, to my knowledge, installed a program that controls wifi(if you want, I can post my list of apps).
So, what's happening here? Anyone has any idea?
Thanks
Ditto here

You have the same issue? Can you post your list of installed apps? I seriously don't know what's going on!
This may seem really obvious - but have you double-checked that those notifications aren't coming in via your mobile network?
If you have Juice Defender (or something similar) installed, that might also be responsible for switching on your wifi periodically.

Nothing like that... I was just activating my alarm clock for tomorrow and the wifi came on, out of thin air! It shutdown in less than a second, too! And I did absolutely nothing!
Also, I don't have any app like Juice Defender
Ok, so I've flashed the stock rom,locked the bootloader, etc, and I thought I had solved the problem. I didn't, the thing keeps turning on and off!!
I'm seriously thinking about sending it for repairs
you could send it in to samsung or install some newer 2.3.5 kernels which seemed to solve any wifi issues i may have had. Android 2.3.5 made some changes to wifi signal strenght.

I have stock, and it's the regular nexus S, not the 4G one (so I haven't received 2.3.5 yet).
I'll try installing the 2.3.5 kernels and report back
check your advanced wifi settings.
by default they are set to turn wifi off when screen is off. so even if you have wifi on it will turn off when screen is off automatically.
menu>settings>wireless and network settings>wi-fi settings>menu(softkey)>advanced>wifi sleep policy>check the "never" radio button.

I wish it were that simple... I've the wifi sleep policy set to never since I can remember. I only turn on wifi when I need it

Wifi Problem in Sleep Mode

Hello,
when I lock my screen and the phone goes in sleep mode I don't receive whatsapp messages anymore. I have to unlock my phone and open whatsapp and go in the chat to receive. It's really annoying.
Does anyone else have this problem or even found a solution?
Thanks!
My settings are:
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always
Wi-Fi optimisation (Minimise battery usage when Wi-Fi is on) is disabled

It was fine before and it just happened out of the blue?
I have not had this problem.
Have you tried changing your WiFi settings to see if it does anything?
Maybe wipe whatsapp cache?
Not that it'll help your issue, but you definitely want to leave the Wifi Optimization option on. It will absolutely devour your battery otherwise.

I had this problem ever since I had the phone. I didn't have this problem with the phone I had before, the HTC Sensation. What do you exactly mean with changing WiFi settings? The settings in my phone or my router?

I disabled it because I thought it maybe was the problem. But your right, now I can switch it on again.

WiFi is turned off yet is reported as turned on and using battery.

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)

SHV-E300S WiFi turning off when idle

Hey guys, so I'm having this problem with my SHV-E300S , even putting the wifi config to always in sleep mode and using the code #*0011 to set off the wifi power saving, it still not working, so after around 15 minutes idle i cannot receive any notifications from messangers apps or email, i will receive that just when i unlock the phone and wait for a few seconds.
I'm using not the kit kat 4.4.2, but i tried the official lolipop 5.0.1 with no progress, also tried to install the cyanogenmod but i received status 0 error from recovery when i tried to flash the rom so cannot say if it would solve the problem.
I would be very glad if someone could help with that, the cellphone is useless for me since i just use that for messenger.
thanks
tried artware but the problem got worst, since i coudnt even turn on the wifi
instaled official lastest version available lolipop and the problema persists
after around 30 minutes the phone enter in sleep mode, wifi dont respond

You can do some searching for how to use wakelocks to either apply or deny wakelocks, this can be used for many of your apps and features to control when and how they are active. There are apps in the playstore that let you manage wakelocks.

Thanks for your reply, i'm testing now some apps to check if it solve the problem
Hi, i tried the cpu awake app, wifi keep alive and PNF app.
It's pretty hard to say that works completly since sometimes i receive, sometimes I receive with delay and sometimes dont Receive at all
I cannot think about what is causing the issue but i wonder if theres some clean ROM for this phone (without carrier stuff), original but without carrier software to try, or some another solution.
anyway, thanks for the help.

How about "Download Booster" in Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Download Booster
That uses WiFi & Data simultaneously
Might also be "Smart Network Switch" under advanced wifi settings

You got WiFi calling enabled? Or VoLTE?
Or mobile hotspot?
Apparently caller ID apps will also cause this

I use Adguard and only see WiFi when on WiFi, and only see 4G when out of range of WiFi
It was same for me, but it just happened on both phones (one have never been rooted) and when I uninstall addguard again Wifi OR 4G icons, not both!
Maybe WIFi doesnt have internet access and phone switches mobile data on?
I found the Problem - SIM card I exchanged it and everything is OK for now
My bad, it wasn't SIM card but SD Card 200GB one
I have a similar problem. Very rarely, but it happens. Wifi and mobile data stay connected at the same time. And the bigger problem is that during this, one of the cpu M cores stays stuck on max load and frequency. Restart solves the issue, but i need to figure it out.
Android system usage goes up in the battery stats, but there are lots of processes included there. Is there an app that i can use so i can see in real time, which single process is ramping up one of the big cores? The phone is totally stock S7.
I will appreciate the help.
P.S. I really hate Samsung's garbage software !!
This was my solution
I recently downloaded a GPS spoof app and that's what was causing the Wi-Fi and 4g on it says it does it as app only works over mobile data. Due to some location pinpoint on Wi-Fi. Don't know if it's true but deleted it and gifted problem for me.
