When I go into Developer's settings, the "Mobile Data Always Active" is defaulted to ON. I flick the toggle to turn if OFF. But when I turn off Developer's Settings, I can see that the toggle automatically flicks back to ON. And everything is greyed out at this point. Is this by design? Does this mean that if I want to keep "Mobile Data Always Active" to OFF, that I would have to leave Developer's Options on all the time? Thanks.

So I keep having this 'sign into network' notification for my mobile data, even though I dont have a plan. Normally I would just turn off my data all together, but this seems to interfere with me getting MMS. The problem is my carrier offers a screen so I can buy data for 24 hours, and this is what pops with when I tap the notification. I tried selecting the 'Do not use this network' option in the pop-up but the notification just pops up again later. Is there a way to permanently disable this notification with out turning off my data or buying a data plan?
Charge your phone man!
Hello, is there a way to turn the gps on/off? I want to keep the location services turned on, but in the quick settings, it has otipon only turn on/off the location services, not only the gps. I have to go to the settings menu if I want to turn the gps off, but keep the location services on.
P.S.: i checked this quick setting on my Lenovo tablet, and it works the same way So it is maybe not an Alcatel related feature, but it is somewhere Lollipop.
Other Lollipo questikn, why they (google?) removed the silent mode? Why I have to set volume to zero, instead of turning off the ringtones?
Use battery saving setting in location services. Turns off GPS.
Yes I kow, it turns off the gps, but, it is notaccessible from the top of the screen quick settings. It disables or enables the whole !ication service. I tried some gps on/off apps, but they don't work.
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..
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
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...
Hello Everyone,
There on Android's 10 "Developer Options" is a function called: "Restrict SMS & call log access"
Every time I toggle it on, it toggles off by itself every time, and never stays on.
I trying to figure out why is it not working on my Samsung phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
