[Q] wifi keeps disconnecting for no reson

I use cm 7 and have no other mods installed on the phone but for some reason my wifi keeps getting discounted then after a few seconds it will come back on then off again?

Look for adv wifi settings and set sleep policy to never. Thats what I do on my droidx2 FWIW.

Did that and still have problems.

Just check out this thread. Might help.

[Q] Stock Rom keeps turning wifi on

I'm using the stock Rom and when I go to settings to disable Wifi, after the screen is off and I wait for a few minutes the wifi keeps turning itself on.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm not using juice defender or similar apps. Also my phone carrier doesnt add a custom APN that forces this.

Go into settings/wifi/settings and choose wifi on always in sleep mode. Reboot the router and reconnect to wifi. If that doesn`t help you might try a data factoey reset.

Um... but he wants to turn it off...
If it wasn't a stock rom I'd say something like profiles.

Do you use Qualcomm Battery guru? I also have this issue and I use it, so I think it is related to this.

Hi,
I just tried this and I don't see anything suspicious. If I search for Wifi, I see it's being set to ON by ActivityManager or ConnectivityManager, it doesn't seem to come from an application.
I have attached a full log and a log searching for WiFi, maybe you can help me find something?
Very much appreciate it!!
Thanks!!!

Anyone? :angel:

[Q] WiFi and GPS always on, as if they were used

I've remarked that when my Galxy S4 is locked/sleep mode there is wifi and GPS that are always on.
I've done the following :
Keep wifi on when on sleep : only when plugged in
Wifi and mobile network location : Offà
Mobile data is turned off
I don't know what else to do in order that those 2 things stop using battery life when on sleep mode...
PS: You can see that on my battery usage statistic, GPS ON (almost always) and Wifi too. Some off moments were there because I turned them off to do some testings.

Use juice defender
Try factory retore settings
This should fix ur problem:thumbup:

I prefer not using any other third-party application in order to make this. It must be something in the normal settings that may cause this. I'll try a factory restore, but I don't think this is what will solve the problem because I just received the phone...

My Nexus 4 shows the same thing unless I actually turn off the wifi. I just leave my wifi on so when I come home it auto connects.

Weird minesays the same. I had my wifi off for at least 5hours

You have to go into WiFi settings and select one of the other features in advanced settings
TWEAKED 2.5

Because your WiFi radio keeps actively searching for an active signal unless you turn it off.

I believe the option in the advanced settings is "Scanning always available". If you turn that option off it should stop.

Simple, because the WiFi radio is on.

I have found WiFi battery usage to be very odd on the Note, at least Note 1. I used to have it turn off on screen off (settings default), but that caused battery drain. I then used Llama (Location Aware Mobile App?) to turn it off when the screen was off after a minute. Still drained.
I eventually left it on all the time I was at home or work, and it was much, much better. I guess going on and off all the time was the drag, or caused another issue.
I then used Llama to turn it off whenever I leave home or work, and turn it back on when I arrive. Happiness achieved.

I just drag down the notification bar and hit the toggle. One less active app to hog memory and battery...
Then again I also turn off mobile data when it is not needed. That spares me a full 4 days, and that's just on the s3. Imagine how long a note3 would last... (I'll know when my order finally arrives...)

Wifi function fail (turning off involuntarily)

Anyone else having issues with the wifi turning off on its own? Got my S5 yesterday on AT&T. There have been a few times that the wifi will turn off and it can't be turned back on unless I restart.
I've experienced this with wifi settings as is out-of-the-box and when I changed the option to only have it on during sleep while plugged in.

I'm having the same problem. S5 goes to sleep when waking the wifi is switched off and I cannot turn it on in settings. I have to reboot

Try this, go into settings, press wifi, then press the button consisting of 3 dots in the top right corner and then press advanced. where the settings state "keep wifi on during sleep", make sure it is set to always.
also check the wifi timer is not on either.
Let me know how you guys get on

Yes, that's the problem. It is fixed by not using the feature... Great, isn't it?

I have the exact same issue and am thinking to call warranty and see what they can do. This happens on any router, very annoying. You can avoid phone restarts btw, just put the phone in airplane mode and back in normal, when you do that it will be able to turn wifi back on. I am wondering is this bug on every att galaxy s5?
this bug occurs when you have the keep WiFi on during sleep option off. this saves a lot of battery, and to me avoiding this option isn't a fix to the problem, because on every android device I have I make sure WiFi turns off during sleep and never had issues reconnecting back when I wake up the device but galaxy s5 has that issue
