Use Wi-Fi+
The Honor 9 comes with many features to help your phone save time and resources. One of my favorite is Wi-Fi+. This enhanced WiFi system provides three key features that will make you have a better internet experience.
Switch Between WiFi and Mobile Data
Evaluate Wi-Fi connectivity and switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data for the best network connection. This may increase data usage.
Turn on/off WiFi Automatically
Turn on Wi-Fi when in range of a known Wi-Fi network and connect to it.
Evaluate available Wi-Fi networks
Automatically evaluate network connectivity and suspend auto-connect for saved networks that cannot connect to the internet.
When I'm going for a long drive and maybe listening to music, I'll turn my Wi-Fi off to save battery. When I get home, I don't have to worry about forgetting to reconnect to save my data. My Wi-Fi will automatically turn back on and get me connected. This is my favorite feature of Wi-Fi+
Definitely turn this feature on while you are using your Honor 9.

I had an idea how to save power.
How it works is that it would run in the background of the phone.
By default WiFi is turned off, however when an app requires some form of data connection, the WiFi app recognises this and turns on the WiFi.
If a WiFi network is near and you already have the password stored in the phone it connects to the network.
If a WiFi network is near and you dont have the password stored it prompts you with a popup. If you cancel the popup, WiFi gets turned off.
This way power can be saved so WiFi doesn't have to always be on and only gets turned on when needed.
Possible? What you think?
Juicedefender does this. It will cut off your WIFI if it's not around known networks. I think you have to buy ultimatejuice (it's worth it).
Hi. I'd like to keep my phone connected to a local Wi-Fi network so that I can access a server on that network. However that network doesn't have a working internet connection. Can I keep my phone connected to Wi-Fi but let it use 3G for internet connection? Thank you
Normally when the WiFi is connected to a network the data is automatically disabled so I'd say no to your question.
But Super Download might help.
Could WiFi always scanning be used in this case perhaps? Try it by disabling your WiFi but leaving that option enabled under the Advanced settings.
Of course it wont work to use always scanning. It even says scanning in the name, meaning it simply allows the locations service to turn on wifi briefly in order to see local networks so it can use them to locate you.
What OP is asking for is not natively supported, and would probably require a bunch of modifications on a deep level.
On most android phones you can stop them from connecting to open WiFi, so it only connects to your home WiFi and other predefined locations.
The Z3 has an option on the Stamina page:
Location based WiFi- WiFi activated automatically when in range of a saved WiFi network.
I've played with this but i don't get it. If that's activated and I've turned WiFi off it doesn't seem to turn WiFi on, and if WiFi is turned on it'll connect anyway so this option is redundant.
The power policy makes no difference, and I've added my WiFi point to the list.
Maybe you need to turn on "background scanning" in advanced settings which checks for WiFi in intervals even when WiFi set to off.
If you leave wifi enabled the feature will automatically turn it off when you are not near the location of one of your saved networks, and then back on when you are again near that location. Don't manually turn off wifi, the feature won't turn it back on in that state.
I was wondering the same thing. I'll test this out today.
The description should say that WiFi will turn off when not in range of saved networks.
Sony makes it sound like we need to have WiFi off, and it'll turn back on automatically when in range.

Exactly, especially when another option, on the advanced wifi option page, says:
"Scanning always available: Let google's location service and other apps scan for networks, even when wi-fi is turned off"
because it gives the impression you can enable that, turn wifi off, but use the "location based" option to override your wifi disable to turn it back on again.
Scanning always available is a battery killer.
What I have noticed is that my Wi-Fi turns off when I leave my residence to work and stays off the entire time. It doesn't turn on automatically when you come home until something runs a scan of your location. I believe that is how it works and when it senses that you're near where your WiFi is it will turn it on automatically.
