[Q] GizRoot_v_2:: Two issues Can Fix?

Hello, I applied this ROM yesterday I don't have enough posts to put the question in the original thread where I downloaded the ROM but I am
and am very happy with the results but there are two issues. One is that I no longer get the “weather sound” when the clock/weather widget is doing a full screen animation.
No huge deal but I kind of liked that.
The other thing, which is a big deal to me, is that the wireless will not connect automatically, either to open wifi that is remembered, or at home where I have WPA security. It also does not notify me of open networks, even though I have that option checked. Another thing (and this goes back to the OEM ROM as well) is that there are three “AT&T Wifi Hotspot” listings and I cannot “forget “ them.
I connect to one of these at Starbucks but do not know why there are three of them. I also do not use AT&T I use a pre-paid T-Mobile with no date plan so that is why the auto connect to Wifi is so important.
Can anyone offer any advice? I am a total newb but I think I did the “full wipe” correctly, I ran a file called FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
However, I noticed that after the wipe/ROM flash I still had my remembered wireless networks on the phone, as well as the name of the phone for Bluetooth, which I had changed. So it did retain some info even though it make me do the whole setup routine again once I had flashed this ROM.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I do like Sense but wanted some of the stuff I can do with root, but it is very important for me to be able to auto connect to remembered wifi networks as I don't have a data plan. I really don't want go go back to the unrooted version that is posted on the HTC page.

OK stupid a** me I found the toggle for weather sound so now the only issue is the connection to WiFi if anyone can help out. I have tried toggling WiFi on and off, forgetting and then re-connecting to my home WiFi, a restart and an off/on start, but once I am disconnected from a known Wifi it will not reconnect on it's own I have to go into menu/wireless/networks and then it will do a scan and connect automatically, but with the stock rom it always connected automatically, to remembered networks once I was in range, even if the phone was in sleep mode.

Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks. Thread moved.

Turning wifi off when screen is off

Is there a tool or app that will turn wifi (and perhaps data) off when the phone display is not on?
My wifi is using a lot of battery.
Thanks.

When I read this, my first thought was this function in the Android Wifi settings. Not entirely sure if this will solve your problem, but give it a try and see if it helps.
From Google's Support site for Android, under "Advanced Wifi Settings" (It's for Android One, but still applies):
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Touch to choose how your device handles Wi-Fi when it's asleep. You can choose to keep Wi-Fi on all the time, only if your device is charging, or turn it off completely. If you turn Wi-Fi off, you may increase the amount of mobile data you use.

You are correct. It is in android settings under advanced in wifi.
Thanks.

LeanDroid
I liked LeanDroid. I used to get battery for more than 24 hours.
But with Lollipop, it needs root access.
Rooting is not easy with Lollipop
Hence, I am also stuck like you
Waiting for 5.01 version hoping to get some fixes.
Drain with my phone is not just WiFi Mobile network too and generally the green bar slopes down.
Kitkat and LeanDroid were good
You can still try LeanDroid

Wifi keeps disconnecting?

Hey, guys I just got my Pixel 2.
I connected it wifi but it keeps losing it. Only if I reset my router it will keep the connection for a while, but somehow when
I get to work or in the morning the same issue appears again. It connects but when I go to an app which requires wifi it drops.
I tried to change the channel but didn't work as well.
Restarting the phone won't help either. I also don't want to factory reset it since I want to keep all my data etc. I don't want to go all that bs.
Maybe I should have stuck with a new iPhone after all. Sorry for that comment, but I'm really frustrated
I don't want to give it back or some ****, I just want to fix it easily so I can move on. I hope I get some advice here.

this can help:
phone ::: Go to setting > wifi > advance > If there is Freq option then change it to 2.4Ghz
router (in case no option on phone) ::: go to Wifi setting of your router and disable 5Ghz. I can help more If I know model of your wifi router
:good:

I'm having the same exact problem as OP. I thought for a second I wrote the post. Would love to see if there's a solution. I don't see the option to change frequency in wifi settings. And this issue for me occurs on different WiFi networks.. so it's not just one router. Ugh!

Exactly the same issue here, which is what has lead me to this thread. It often happens that my phone switches to mobile data suddenly while working absolutely fine on Wi-Fi. I have tried almost every basic solution but condition remains the same. Also during that time it stop showing me my (saved) Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi network available, while at the same time my same Wi-Fi is connected to all the other devices in my house. This needs a fix.

still no fix

ya my problem is still there. This phone is utter dog ****, to be honest. Still waiting for an update, but now I know..never buy a pixel again

Is Bluetooth on? This is what is causing my WiFi to be very unstable......

Galaxy S7 T-Mobile (Android 7.0) WiFi disconnects as soon as screen is off

Hey there, I have this S7 that would just disconnect from WiFi as soon as the screen goes off. When I try to make VoIP calls as soon as I put the phone to my ear and the screen goes out, the WiFi drops. I also confirmed this by running a continuous ping, soon as screen is off, WiFi drops.
Now this only happens at work. At home all is fine and dandy. At work we have open WiFi APs with guest logon pages. Being on the IT team I did create an SSID that was WPA2 locked to test this, but the problem still persists. I tried 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz, Ijumped through every possible solution I could find in the internet, but nothing seems to work! My old Xiaomi worked just fine, what is it with the Samsungs? anyone got an idea?

I don't think that will solve your problem but as nobody replied you, maybe you could try to see in your Galaxy S7, in parameters, then Connections, then Wifi, then at the top right corner, clic on "advanced", and there you have some parameters for the wifi like the one to put Wifi Off when phone is asleep.
Also, check if you have installed any battery saver app that would interact with your Wifi and turn it off while phone is asleep, or something like a Greenify app that would put asleep the wifi service (if there is one).
In the end, if your problem is only at work and not at home, then I would say the problem comes from your router at work. Something in the settings maybe disconnects devices when they're under certain percentage of use or something like that.
I hope that will help you, or at least help you find other things to look for to identify your problem ; )

WLAN Hotspot doesn't work on Android, looking for competent help

Hi,
I'm using a Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Android 7.0 facing that issue making me unable to use my WLAN hotspot (which it pretty anoying cause it doesn't only dissallow me to share my internet connection but also I can't do other network stuff between devices I'd use that hotspot for).
So when I try to turn on my the hotspot it simply turns itself off again after small amount of seconds. When I got to WLAN hotspot in settings then I have the active button to switch the hotspot on while it shows me tbat it's of at the moment. Doing that it says "Activating hotspot..." (pretty exactly that) until it's going off again with a quick "Deactivating hotspot" and you could activate it again but it will do nothing again than say "activating" and go off again. While it is "activating" it already shows the active hotspot icon in the top bar of the phone and the hotspot settings are as well already active and no more inactive greyed out. But only for nk idea, 3 seconds probably. Within that short period of time my laptop didn't find my phones hotspot but that might just be down to an to high delay in scanning and finding so I don't know wether it would shortly pop up seeable for other devices.
Earlier that day I had my hotspot working actively (nobody actually joined) but it worked and would have if somebody joined because that issues is not new to me on my phone and when the hotspot activates, then it also works. But half of the time it seems when I want to use it, it doesn't work. I haven't changed any settings inbetween or restarted my phone. It was probably on for one week, but after then trying a restart it still didn't help.
I already changing some one-click stuff like just turning out WLAN, turning off or on data save mode (which stops background data for all apps in mobile internet and WLANs marked as hotspots), turning off or on mobile data. But well, I don't know anything else and earlier it worked with all the same settings so what could be the problem behind that?? Besides that my phone always just works completely normally without any issues, WLAN always works without problems, only Bluetooth sometimes doesn't want to activate and then I see it active after some minutes or hours later, but that can always be fixed with a restart if I needed it instantly. If you just wait and it is active then tough, it is kinda awoken and works instantly then again shutting it off and on.
Phone is not rooted btw.
Ok long text, but please if you have any ideas tell me..
