Hi there,
since some days I realised that my huawei watch 2 sets wifi to "automatic" by itself, while I turned it off.
Even with flight mode toggled always on, Wifi keeps turning on.
Can this be caused by an app or watchface?
Anyone knows how to easily fix this?
I usually don't need the wifi but it's draining my battery more than before.
any help appreciated,
thanks,
Christian

I have an Atrix 2. It has been replaced twice by AT&T due to this problem. I have factory reset each phone and tried every battery mode, data saver, sleep policy and wifi channel.
The problem:
The wifi turns off by itself! not sleep, off! As in the checked box is unchecked. The phone does it during use and when not being used. The timing between instances is random. The wifi sometimes stays on for hours. Other times it wont last five minutes. I have 4 other wifi devices connected by wifi to my secured router.
Note: I travel across the country for work and the problem occurs at airports, hotels, mcdonalds, ect.
I have called Motorola and their only option is to send it to the with no replacement. I could use some help. I have been searching online and others with this problem dont persist, they simply state that unsecuring their router fixed the problem. That is not an option for me as the routers are not mine.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I recently noticed this problem started after I installed the ATT Smart Wi-FI app. Mine will connect then turn off, wait a second turn back on then I get the WIFI networks avail message and I check it and it's not connecting to the network til I tell it too then it will stay connected all day.
I"ve had my atrix 2 for about a little over a month. It's doing the same thing. Wifi will randomly shut off. I have to go into the settings to turn it back on. It will work fine for a little while then just shuts off again. Does anyone know if this seems to be hardware or software related. I've tried different apps and WiFi sleep settings to no avail. I really like the atrix but this is kind of annoying.
I have the same issue also, except I have top reboot my phone for wifi to work again.

i have the same problem, it's not my wifi connection, but the actual wifi setting turns off whenever i turn off my screen and yes, i've set the wifi sleep policy to "never", so that's not the problem. i've also tried "never when plugged in" and "when screen turns off" and i still get the same problem. i was thinking about going to at&t and asking them about it but decided to come here first.
(a white iphone 4 is looking better and better ) can anyone help?
I had this problem but after I disabled the power saver option under battery and data (set it back to performance) it went away and Wi-Fi works perfect.
Tried different battery saver settings as well, nothing changed.

it's a common issue, not sure if just with GB, the problem with this is that your battery drains too fast when this happens
just check if the phone warms up if so u have an issue then just restart
lg has not told anything about this issue, they thinkg it's an specific issue from one carrier's fw but it looks like it's in general with GB, my old x10 had the same issue but no battery drain
But i have this issue when i using froyo. Now i am using froyo but have this issue two times a days. Its very annoying to me yo know

There isn't any real solution. It happens to me as well as to other people (search the O3D threads here and you'll find many reporting the same), no matter if you have Froyo or GB.
However, in my case it doesn't happen two times a day but less often. It never occurs when I wake up my phone and wifi reconnects. It only happens when I turn on/off the airplane mode (but not all the times).
Do you have this issue when the phone is waking up normally (with the wifi always on) or when you turn on/off the airplane mode or turn off/on the wifi manually?

if only occur in turning on/off the airplane, it will be fine for me as i seldom use the airplane mode. however, the issue occur when i turn on or off the wifi manually. i have tried to turn off and on the wifi repeated ten times when the phone restart, i have no problem. however, after i close the wifi for about 1 or 2 hour and enable again, it sometime have the problem when i switch on the wifi. i really have no ideas why this problem will occur.
Well when you turn the wifi on/off manually, I guess that it's the same thing (for the wifi connectivity) like turning on/off the airplane mode manually, so it causes the same problem.
Do you have this issue when you just wake up your phone (with wifi on)? If so, you could keep your wifi always on when you outside from home/work. If it's not connected it doesn't consume much battery.

when the wifi problem happens, i must reboot the phone manually, then the wifi will switch on automatically after the phone has rebooted. however, i discover that, wifi drain battery very much when compare to just open 2G network alone, therefore, i would like to close wifi when i just put it to standby. i think this is not a real solution and i have this problem two time a day. it is very annoying actually.
thank you for your reply!!!
I posted this already in thread i started labeled not too clearly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519436
It's a process called tiwlan_wq which starts using cpu @ 48% constantly and drains battery quickly.
No idea how to solve this i've kept the wifi at standard setting of off when phone is in standby or even on always but this occurs randomly.
I thought new v20g rom would have sorted out some issues but no and i'm dead bent on selling this POS LG phone.

try to set the wifi policy to "never", however, the problem still have, but battery drain is lessened i think
Hi everyone,
I am new here, and would like some help with my Nexus 5.
It is running stock rom and everything, Android 5.0.1 LRX22C
I am still setting up, so still using my old phone while I get all the mandatory apps on before i switch my SIM over.
I realised that battery seems to be draining rather quickly even it spends most of its time on just Wifi right beside the router. Cellular connection is not on. So one day I decided to turn it to airplane mode and see what happens.
As you can see from the attachment, WiFi was on all the time even though the phone was on airplane mode. I believe this is the cause of the battery drain. I did not turn WiFi on.
"Scanning always available" was turned off, and the top battery drainer is "Android system", but at only 1%.
(The screenshot was only taken after I reconnected Wifi and downloaded GSam, that explains the notifications.)
Does anyone know the cause of this? I'd prefer if I do not need to factory reset the phone as I am pretty much done setting up everything and I don't want to have to do it all again.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
If you go to 'Advanced' there should be an option called 'Keep WIFI on during sleep', click there and then click 'Never' or 'Only when plugged in'. Good luck.
I too had the same problem when i updated to lollipop but after some days of usage i found that in wifi under advance there was a new option scanning always available which was turn on. What this setting do is even if ur wifi is off the app can scan for wifi signals for the location. So if u want to keep ur wifi off just turn off that setting.
I already had it turned off, but the battery settings still reports WiFi as on. Weird thing is GSam says my WiFi is off, so I'm not sure what is the problem now.
It might be the Android System, reporting it uses even more battery than my screen now.

Hello!
Since I installed YOG4PAS1N0, I have an annoying problem with my wifi:
Whenever I turn wifi off, I'm not able to turn it on again. Tapping on it doesn't do anything. Entering and leaving airplane mode doesn't help either. The only way to turn on wifi is to reboot the phone. Then wifi is turned on when the phone started.
After installing YOG4PAS1N0 I didn't do anything. No app installed or any settings changed. Nothing.
Can anybody help me finding a solution please?
It happened to me just once: i switched my profile with one that turns wifi off, then turning it on again by any means would not start scanning for networks resulting in an empty list. A full reboot solved the problem, but now I can't seem to reproduce this issue. I rembember my headphones were plugged in but I can't see why that would interfere with wifi interface.
I don't use any profiles, though.
When I try to activate wifi and hit the wifi settings, my phone literally freezes for 10 seconds before I can use it again - with disabled wifi.
Hello,
greetings from Germany. If I enable the option to turn off WiFi when the phone is in doze sometimes the wifi is turned off permanently until I reboot it and turn it on again. I guess this shouldn't be. Can someone help me?
