Hi everyone, I had a quick question I needed your assistance on.
Sometime I put my N1 into Airplane mode to save battery and when I finally turn airplane mode off I can never seem to get a data connection unless I totally shut off the phone and turn it back on again. Coming out of Airplane mode there will be a 3g signal on the status bar but only the up arrow will light up and anything needing data (browser, market, etc) wont work unless I totally shut off the phone and turn it back on again. Is this happening to you too?
The same thing happens if I open up the Quick Settings app and turn off mobile data (to save battery) and when I turn mobile data back on I have to restart the phone entirely for it to work properly.
It seems like my phone might be having an issue with data connection so I might have to call up HTC about it but I wanted to find out from the other members on the forum if this was happening to them too.
Thank you for your help
It's happened to me before using APNdroid.
Apparently you can fix it by turning the radio on and off in the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#), never tried it though.

you forgot an asterisk, its *#*#4636#*#*
Whoops, so I did. Good spot!
So I set the WiFi sleep policy to "Never when plugged in".
I.e. screen off = wifi off (on battery), and screen off = wifi on (on charge/plugged in).
Just want to save battery, even though battery life is already pretty good, especially coming from my 'charge every night' HTC Desire!
Problem is, it decides to change itself to "Never", even if I am not using the tablet. (checked by going back into the setting and finding the "Never" radio checked.) Can anyone else verify if they have the same issue?
Mine sticks.

same here, no problem setting up a different policy
Thanks for the reply.
For me it seems to change by itself after quite a while. (like overnight)
So, have you always had yours on a policy other than 'Never'?
So I've decided to set mine to the same setting and my setting sticks. However when mine does go to sleep on battery and I wake it up, sometimes it never reconnects to the wifi or rescans. So I am forced to turn off wifi manually and backon for it to reconnect.
Anyone else ever have that issue?

I occasionally experience the same issue... I also have a thunderbolt which never had the problem and neither did my XOOM...

you need to set your wifi setting to Static IP instead of DHCP. This will resolve your issue. I had the same issue and now its fixed.

Seems to be a common problem for any device with a Broadcom 4330.
Broadcom's policy towards open source has always sucked, and crap like this is the result.
I leave the WIFI open all the time...
I have the same issue. Wifi sleep policy changes by itself to "Never", draining the battery in just a couple of hours.

Turning off WiFi in sleep mode doesn't work
My 10.1 will not turn off WiFi when the tablet goes to sleep, per my selection to turn WiFi off wen the screen turns off. WiFi remains on when the tablet is in sleep mode--I can ping it successfully from another computer in my home network anytime. I want to disconnect whenever the screen turns off for a couple of reasons: 1) to cut down on WiFi traffic overall (I have a limited monthly data allowance) and 2) to keep some of the snoop sites from gathering information from my tablet.
3.2, rooted, kernel 2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1 (overclocked)
Any suggestions?
Put it in airplane mode when you aren't using it. I have a button on the home screen to turn on airplane mode. Disables all radios, and really saves battery.
Airplane mode did it. The app I installed is Auto Airplane Mode. It simply puts it in airplane mode when I press the on/off button to turn the screen off (sleep) and takes it right out, usually by the time I swipe the screen, when I turn it on again. Works every time, no problems. This is much better than trying to debug the original problem, which sounds like it must be common to a lot of phones and tablets.
Thanks, Dave

Nice, I didn't know there was an app for that. Will save me a press when I sleep the tab!
In the morning before I go to work I usually disable WiFi as I don't use it at work and would like to save a little battery. However, I've noticed that throughout the day, I'll check a notification and see that WiFi has turned on without me turning it on myself. I can't see any pattern or correlation that would match up with this. Does anyone know what would cause this? I factory reset last night (due to an unrelated issue) and it's still occurring. I only have a couple of extra apps installed, Falcon Pro and reddit sync.
i think power saving mode sometimes enables wifi when its available... not sure how often this happens or if thats even the issue you're having but check the power save mode settings... 3g and 4g use more power than wifi

I don't have the power saving settings enabled, and I don't see any setting that resembles that kind of behaviour.
So at some point while I was driving home from work WiFi enabled itself again (I didn't even touch the phone). I'm wondering if it may be S Beam causing it? I haven't actually used it but it's the only thing I can think of that would need to actually turn WiFi on. I may try turning it off tomorrow morning when I turn WiFi off and see if that stops WiFi from randomly enabling.
Galaxy S4 Wifi auto enable
Is there a resolution for this? I heard that on the S3 it would pay attention to what cell towers you are using and if it recognizes you are in an area where you have used wifi before it will enable and connect. This seems to be the symptom that I am seeing and it's bad for me. It keeps trying to connect to my work network because occationally I log on so I can access materials. but when I want to listen to Slacker Radio I can't because it's blocked. This is a cronic problem for my phone and I'm not able to find out how to disable it.
if you have got any battery saving apps delete them

Why is my WiFi always on? Relevant screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8ZI49P6.png
WiFi is manually toggled off.
WiFi scanning in Settings > Location > Advanced is turned off
I get that there are wake issues in my screenshot, but that's more likely to deal with Facebook than anything. Still doesn't explain why WiFi is always on.
Edit 31-JAN-2016: So I tried the following in my testing
Charge phone to 100%
Turn Off WiFi
Check battery screen, phone seems to show WiFi on still
Reboot
Notice that WiFi is off on the battery screen.
However maybe a minute later, it seems to "turn back on" (SEE SCREENSHOT)
Have you checked your Location scanning settings as well?
Is Wi-Fi scanning turned off there too?

I have the same problem too.
If you go into the dialer and try searching on a company does it prompt to turn on wifi scanning?
Try rebooting
Same problem here.... Reboot doesn't help.
Same problem
My Nexus 6p wifi always remains on. Battery is draining. Please help.

Do you guys by any chance have any of these apps installed? I'm suspecting it has something to do with these.
My testing so far is as follows:
Turn off Wifi
See that WiFi is still on in Battery Screen
Greenify the list of apps above
See that WiFI is still on in battery screen
Reboot
WiFi no longer shows as on
I'm going to do further testing to see. This is inconclusive so far.
Hello!
It seems like my wifi is ALWAYS on, and I turn it on pretty rarely...
My only concern is the battery, I'm sure it does not like this fact...

I cant open your link but i would reccomend a clean flash/factory reset:fingers-crossed:
Go to location settings, advanced/ scanning settings and turn off WiFi scanning
