Hi guys!
I have an XT1540, 2gb/16gb version (Retail US) on Marshmallow.
This is the situation: I'm not always at my house. So, I turn off WiFi when I don't use it. But, even though I turn off WiFi, it remains ON. This does not affect the battery duration. I also notice this when I toggle WiFi on using the tile under quick settings, it seems WiFi was always on because it shows available networks immediately.
Yes, I have turned off "Wi-Fi scanning" under Settings > Location > three dots > Scanning, so there is no reason why WiFi is always ON!
Does any of you have the same issue? I attached some screenies. :good:
Want to hear from you guys...
EDIT: I found the solution. Even though I disabled Always scanning on Settings > Location, Wi-Fi always was ON!
I used to go to *#*#4636#*#* > Wi-Fi information > Wi-Fi status and Supplicant state always said SCANNING.
Went to Developer options and scrolled down to Networking and turned ON "Always allow Wi-Fi Roam Scans". When you turn this on, it disallows the always scanning supplicant state. Now Wi-Fi totally turns off when I select the tile in quick settings!
See attachments!
I think it's common marshmallow bug, not only in Moto devices but even Nexus devices facing this issue.
After some reboots it goes back to normal.

Well, after rebooting my device this "issue" is still present... Anyway thanks for the feedback!
Then maybe resetting network settings and wiping cache in recovery will be the solution, because it has solved my Wi-Fi drains.

It may sound too noobish but just check these-
Are you using the quick setting tile's down arrow to expand the WiFi list? I can't remember the behavior on stock but in cm 13 both clicking of quick setting tile icon and down arrow *enables* and expands the tile. In other roms, clicking wifi icon toggles it and arrow expands it.
Try this. Open settings>wifi and make sure it's off from there. Now pull down notification panel, and again pull down to open quick settings (qs) panel. Check wifi has a slant line going over it. That indicates its off. Now click on wifi icon (not the 'Wi-Fi' text with the arrow). Does the tile expand and shown as turned on? If yes then its normal behavior. It turns on wifi and expands the view to show wifi networks. In other roms, it just turns on wifi and clicking bottom text expands it.
And if you can bother , try this-
Make sure that settings>wifi shows its turned off.
if your rooted then install catlog app from playstore and run it. If you are not rooted then you can connect your phone to PC with usb debugging on and use the following command-
Code:
adb logcat
If wifi is still on in background and sanning then you can see lots of line referring to wpa_supplicant coming in continuously. This is the best way to tell.
The reason I am tellling you to confirm it is because it's rare. Custom roms are reporting wifi was on in battery page even when it was off (logcat method confirms this).

Go to your location settings, hit the 3 dot menu button and select scanning. See if Wi-Fi scanning is selected. If so, this will allow the system to use Wi-Fi scanning to help fix your location and will keep Wi-Fi turned on.

Solved.. It was strange but I did it. See OP:
I got my S8+ this morning and have blown most of the day loading stuff etc. I appreciate having WiFi (TMo)calling but is really necessary to be reminded it is active in the pull down screen? An icon on the notification bar is ok. The rest is a waste of space. Any way to turn it off? I've tried blocking notifications.
Very annoying, haven't found a way to turn that off. I just disabled wifi calling
Do the ATT phones have this also?
sprint doesn't thankfully
I think this is a bug. Normally when you keep wifi calling on as the primary it leaves a notification to remind you you're not on the voice network. But if you choose network preferred it should only pop up when network is not available and you're on wifi.
I set mine to network preferred and for some reason even though I have 4G it pops up with the wifi calling notification. The problem is im not even sure why its doing it. Does this mean the S8+ sux and doesnt have network where my S7E did. or is it just a bug......
Also very annoyed by this. I like WiFi calling as i have faster WiFi than cell service in my house, but i hate having to see the notification telling me it is enabled all the time (even if the feature isn't being used). I just turned it off.

Its not working with Tmobile wifi calling icon..

Have been wondering about this also. Using a T-Mobile S8+ and haven't found a way to turn off the always-on-notification for the wifi-calling. I just leave it disabled most of the time unless I know I'll need to make a call over wifi, then I turn it on for stability.
I think I figured it out
Go to the drop down settings menu and click on the settings button. Tap on "Notifications", and then tap "Advanced" up at the top right of the screen, then tap on the 3 dots at top right again and choose "Show system apps". Scroll all the way down until you see the "Wi-Fi Calling" icon and tap on it and then toggle off the "App icon badges" switch. Then you'll need to click on the "Make sound" option below that toggle, go down to the "Advanced" section and tap "On lock screen" and tap "Do not show notifications". Seems like a hell of a lot of work just turn off an annoying notification icon I'll never use...
I'm trying to figure out how to get the edge lighting to work. I've set it up to trigger on all app notifications and I have yet to see the lighting function.
Is there a trick to get this to work? Does lighting work when having AOD on?
The apps should also support edge lighting, otherwise you wont see it. As of now, only samsungs default apps only support.
You can use the app called "Edge Mask" from play store to customize edge lighting for all apps.
this is how I got it working with all apps defined & in state screen on or off:
First disable notification for all apps you want to show with new notif style
in settings > notification
install SystemUI Tuner from playstore,
then in miscellaneous > enable Heads-Up Notifications.
scroll down and enable Power Notification controls.
now go back to notification setting, tap the app then slide to level 4 or 5 (peek enable)
the notification for the app should be in new style now (edge lighting enabled)
Now the trick so it also works with screen off:
install from playstore: Lightflow legacy
Add Lightflow in edge lighting setting "manage apps notification"
setting in lightflow app:
the key is the setting in lightflow must enable "Switch screen on" in the app setting
After you add the app in lightflow, goto app setting and tab Notification, scroll and enable switch screen on.
then you will have edge lighting notif for other apps too.

Thanks man, now I have it working with screen on. Just can't figure out how to make it work with screen off heaven with your trick with light flow.
have u turn on edge lighting setting to "Always" ?
also add light flow and all apps defined in edge lighting manage apps.
Any chance you could point me to working root for the S8+ to install SystemUI Tuner? Model: SM-G955F
root is not necessary. just install System UI tuner from playstore,
then follow the step to enable permission from adb . are u familiar with adb ?
- enable developer mode on phone, then turn on usb debugging
- connect phone to computer, start adb
- type in the set permission command in adb, as instructed in the app.
- then follow my instruction above.
I guess that the edge lighting for apps when the screen is on but not when it's off i'm talking about whatsapp for instance it gives you an edge lighted notification when screen is on but not when it's off although you have it in the edge lighting permissions toggled on ,
all you need to do is to turn on the pop up notification in the whatsapp application either for always or only when the screen is off but for me I did it only for when screen is turned off
enjooy
I got whatsapp edge lighting work with display off. But there isn't the text of the message. Only the icon on the screen.
@Bautinho88 How did U manage to make it working for whatsapp with screen off? For me it only works when I select "popup" on whatsapp and that's not good for me
Still wouldn't work on apps with custom notification APIs like Facebook Messenger. Oreo removes the ability to have power notifications too, btw
And lightflow/glimpse notifications seems like a half-baked solution, since it hijacks the icon, and doesn't display any message info for me. Also it hijacks the color.
Oreo allows notification channels, which lets me enable it for most of my apps. like i said, the only ones that don't work use custom APIs for notifications.
I don't think we will ever see a fully working 'Edge Lighting Notifications" as long as it's running as an APK. It should be built into the UI/system in Samsung's skin so that it's not piggy-backing off of notifications with Android, and rather Pre-skinning it as the notifications come in.
I don't use lockscreen on my phone, but I want to see new message, missed calls, etc. notifications in the AOD screen.
The "Show notifications" option is greyed out and displays the message:
"Show notification icons on the Always On Display screen if a screen lock type has been set".
I cannot turn it on unless I set up a screen lock.
I have root on the phone, is there any method, xposed module or something else that allows this annoyance to be bypassed?
So on the htc 10 which is what I am coming from I am able to choose silent notification or different notification level for each app, that seems to have changed. I cant find any way to get rid of vibration or sound just for specific apps within the notification setting panel. In the Twitter app theres nothing specific and if there is I have it off and in the app settings within the phone it just gives me the type of notifications such as direct messages, news etc. No where does it let me turn off sounds or vibrations for the app.
Within the Twitter app in the settings the only option is under Display and Sound, second from the bottom you can turn off in app sounds.
If you go to the app settings (where you would force close or clear data) and tap Notifications it lists multiple categories such as Direct Messages, Related to you and your tweets, etc. Here you can disbale ALL notifications (but moving the slider at the top to OFF) and the checkbox next to each of these turns them on or off completely.
If you tap on the item like Direct Messages (or any other item) you can again toggle them off for that function (same as unchecking on the previous screen) and set the behavior. I have most set to Show Silently, which will not vibrate or make sound. If Make Sound is on, vibrate is available under the Advanced roll up. Review settings for each type and turn vibrate off or change all to Show Silently if that's what you're after.
Hope this helps.

Thanks I had just figured it out when I saw your reply. Now I have a new issue, so I am getting notifications how I want but I am not getting the notification light with them, am i missing something or is there no way to get the notification light to come on with these notifications?
