Hi There,
I have an LG/Google Nexus 4 from work, hence it's not rooted nor ROMed.
I was happily using Llama to switch things on and off. I used to switch during nights 3G and WiFi off, and on again at mornings.
Ever since I've installed KitKat (Android 4.4), Llama won't switch WiFi back on at mornings, and only a reboot would help (manually turning on won't help either).
I'm borrowing 2 images I've find somewhere on the net, in order to show what I'm getting. WiFi is actually grayed out, as shown in the lower pic, and always saying "Turning WiFi on..." as on the 1st one.

Does anyone else suffer from the same issue? Can it be solved?
Anyone?
I've got exact same issue. No idea how to fix this.
I've upgraded to v4.4.2 since, but no change...
Try factory reset. Many people have solved this issue with a reset. If possible for you, try factory reset from stock recovery. Please backup apps using Gobackup or some other app from playstore, contacts usually are best backed up with google.
NOTE: As yoor phone isn't rooted, all your user data will be lost. Backup all you photos and other things with your computer.
To facotry reset using recovery :
1. POWER DOWN THE PHONE.
2. AFTER ITS COMPLETELY OFF, HOLD VOLUME DOWN AND POWER BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL THE SCREEN SHOWS BOOTLOADER.
3. USING VOLUME UP OR DOWN, SELECT RECOVERY AND PRESS POWER BUTTON.
4. YOU'LL LAND UP IN RECOVERY WITH AN ANDROID LOGO EXCLAMATION.
5. PRESS VOLUME UP AND POWER BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL SOME MENUS SHOW
6. SELECT FACTORY RESET AND PRESS POWER BUTTON TO RESET THE PHONE.
7. AFTER ITS DONE, RESTART YOUR PHONE AND SETUP ALL ACCOUNTS AND RESTORE EVERYTHING.
NOTE: Once reset, install Gobackup and restore apps, etc. But remember to copy the Gobackup folder to your computer before resetting and then copy back to the phone.
Hope this helps.
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED.
I have exact the same issue, as you mentioned in the title. Got it on 4.3, and also on 4.4.2. Don't know of its llama issue or Android one. I think I will try to manually switch from 3g to Wi-Fi manually for a couple days and see, if it's work. If you solve the problem please write or pm me

Switching WiFi on and off manually - works.
With Llama I switch WiFi off during nights, and back on at mornings. But every morning I see the WiFi is not connected, and appear in Orange color instead of Blue. Only switching OFF the device and back ON solves the problem.

Thank you, but I won't do a factory reset as I'm afraid of losing my data.
But thanks anyway.

That's the reason you need to back up all apps, contacts, sms, etc. Data will be lost for apps that is you'll have to sign into all accounts. Other files like photos, music, etc can be copied to your PC via data cable. Rest is your call
I have something similar on my S4 i9505. I have my rooted phone go into airplane mode 9pm, and come out of airplane mode at 7am, to stop people bothering me at night and to reduce battery life (it now goes down by 2-3% overnight). If I turn airplane mode off manually say at 6.30am Llama turns it half on, leaving the toggle in the quick settings area half green and inoperative.
I have to reboot the phone to fix it.

Thank you for sharing, commandonz.
Unfortunately, no one came up with a solution. I still find myself shutting my device off every morning, just relaunch it again a few seconds later.

Are you rooted? Have you given Llama administrator rights on the phone? See a thread here. You could automate restarts at least, which may help.
I'm on 4.2.2 on my S4. I know some things you need root for, because of security changes Google keeps making with Android. That's why I suggested trying to give the app root, even if just as an experiment.
Dear commandonz,
No, my phone is not rooted.
As to admin privileges for Llama - am not sure it ever asked for it. Or is it related to a rooted device only?
You need to allow as device administrator in Security tab and also enable Llama in Accessibility tab, both in Settings. Rooted or not.

Hi,
I had 4.2.2 and was very proud of Llama, after updating to 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 have this annoying issue...
I tried writing to the developer of Llama but he's not responding anymore...
I actually don't want to wipe data!!!:crying:
I am having same trouble with Wifi controll.
I thought it might appear in relation with multiple wifi activation. So when the wifi is still turned on Llama tries again to switch on an the driver hangs up.
I ran into trouble when switching from AOSP 4.2 to Purity 4.4. I also tried to add a condition to check the wifi-state (independend of connected or not) but there is no option for that.
I really liked Llama very much as it managed all changes to the smartphone itself. No I always miss switching from wifi to 3G Hope it get fixed very soon.
p.s.: i will try a wipe later this day and will edit my post.

I don't know if this could be related to something like you said...but I have quite complex events and I'm pretty sure (I'll double check) I don't trigger twice or more the same event of turning on and off...and this could be even confirmed by the fact that my wireless events works for 2 or 3 days and then the wifi toggle goes gray...anyway don't understand why the developer doesn't answer email anymore, yesterday he released an update, but no answer...
I'll try to change my event to understand, but the same events worked on older android version and still work on 4.4.3 on motoG
PS: you can understand if wifi is turned on by using llama variable, setting one to 1 when you enable and to 0 when you disable, then...before turning it on/of you'll check the value...anyway you can check if connected just using a classic llama event

Yes, it seems only the N4 is affected. And also only newer Android Versions. Did google change the wifi config, driver or controller? When the wifi icon is gray the option in the settings shows "Wlan wird aktiviert..." (Wifi is getting enabled) an the on/off switch is disabled. Is there an App to read linux-log-files? Maybe there is something logged what causes the failure.
I tried Llama with the same ruleset after a complete wipe but the wifi hung up again. So it really seems to correlate with newer android versions for nexus4.
I will write another email to the developer with an link to this thread. Hope we get help

try using logcat
Allow Llama in permissions to change Wi-Fi connectivity
I had to give permission to Llama (Settings > Permissions > Other Permissions > Llama > Change Wi-Fi connectivity) under MIUI8 for it to be able to toggle Wi-Fi on/off.
Otherwise it would be the same as you, WiFi wouldnt turn on/off as specified in the Llama events.

Does anyone know how I can keep the WiFi on when the phone goes into snooze mode? (i.e. when it turns "off" after a few minutes, or when you tap the power button.)
I'm curious, because I've loaded Skype on it. I've configured Skype to WiFi only, and when I'm home, it's WiFi connected. But after a few minutes of inactivity, the phone goes into snooze mode, and the WiFi is turned off. So if I want to be able to receive Skype calls, I've got to keep the phone fully on all the time. Ideally I'd like to let the phone go into snooze mode but keep the WiFi part running so I can receive Skype calls. (Just like I can receive cell calls when the phone is in snooze mode.)
Any ideas?
you can set skype to keep the phone ON. check settings [or options in skype]
Keeping WiFi on
I did enable that setting in Skype. It didn't seem to help. Whenever the phone goes into snooze mode, the WiFi always seems to be disabled.
odd mine stays on what version of skype are you using?
Hmmm, perhaps an old Skype?
I've got v2.1.0.65. I know v2.2beta is out, but I fear all beta software
Perhaps this is related: I've noticed that every time my phone wakes up, the WiFi cycles and reconnects. I've turned off the "Auto turn off WLAN if not connected" setting. It's acting like the WiFi is always turned off when the phone goes into standby/snooze mode. I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere that I'm just missing.
BTW: I'm on HTC ROM 1.35.255.2 (if that makes any difference).
WiFi does not stay connected when any device goes into suspend mode (8525, laptop, etc). That is why MS Direct Push only works over cellular connection. Your best option for skype is to force the phone to not go into suspend. Curious to know your battery usage.
We have the same ROM [1.35.xx] I have beta 2.2 of Skype on my device. Just tested it device stayed on as long as I was signed in. My device shut itself down after 1 minute [this is what I set in Power] once I exit Skype.
Ah, then perhaps the beta version fixed that setting.
Can you try this and tell me if it works?:
1. Log into Skype via WiFi.
2. Tap the power button to go into standby.
3. Ask someone to call you on Skype.
4. Does you phone wake up and ring?
nickshertzer:
Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the WiFi on in standby mode. I've tried keeping my phone on all the time, but:
1. It gets a warm (worries me a little)
2. All the buttons are active, so if I put it in the belt holder, some of the buttons eventually get pressed
3. Battery life is...concerning (dropped from 100% down to 50% for a good 10-hr work day.).

I think what he is trying to tell us is, if he has skype running his phone wont go into standby. it keeps running...
tapping the power button will put the device in standby and power down wifi and I will be disconnected from skype. try skype 2.2 beta and see if the device stays awake.
Right. I should have been a little more clear in my question.
Is there a way I can keep the WiFi on when the phone goes into standby mode?
I think it's been commented that VJEschaton keeps wifi on (it wasn't designed for Hermes) - I tested it briefly on my Hermes and it just seemed to lock up the phone after switching off.
However, VJEschaton (on other devices) forces the wifi on and doesn't register it for power management features. Which means that it doesn't (or shouldn't) respond to requests to disable it. This could be considered a bug that I intend to fix when I get around to it, but could potentially be considered a plus depending on your disposition.

Interesting. Can you tell me how VJEschaton kept the WiFi on?
Was it a registry setting, or a program?
Was there ever a solution to this to keep Wifi on when the Hermes goes to standby. I am not interested in Skype though, I just want the Wifi always on just like the GPRS stays on when device goes to standby.
your battery will probably not last a day if you do this

I only want to do it sometimes. When I am at my house I would rather have the Wifi on instead of using GPRS, but i still want the device to go to standby to conserve a little power.
still no solution ? I am also trying to find out how to turn off power management for WIFI so that if it goes into standby, wifi is still working.
It is annoying if I am downloading a large file and if I set power off to a few mins. When I turn on the device from standby, download disconnected and Wifi only starts to reconnect.
Hope there is a way to do this. Any reg key ?
Wifi functionality relies on OS functions that wouldn't be available in standby mode. Even if the wifi radio could be left powered on when the phone is in standby, it wouldn't be able to wake it up on activity like bluetooth does.
And for the record, according to BatteryStatus: TyTn on, with BT and phone enabled (Edge), backlight off = 35mA current consumption.
Same with WiFi on = 270mA
I let you figure out the saving. For the key thing, just use the device lock today plugin...
if you use skype or im+ they have a setting to keep the device awake while connected.
That's not the point, the question was about how to still have WiFi on without having to keep the device awake...
Alright, I don't remember who it was, but first off, I would like to thank the person that figured out how to check the radio mode.
UPDATE: You need to do this with the current IRC FroYo build as well.
First things first, I have personally tested this with DamageControl 1.0, with Flipz's .03 radio, and found it increased my battery life by 30-40%. I am using the stock 1500mAh battery. Please note that the option to change the preferred network type is not available in 1.5 ROMs, as 1.5 is GSM only. (HTC hacked in CDMA support)
NOTE: when you first open the testing menu, it will show it as CDMA auto (prl). This is a visual glitch, in reality, it is set to GSM auto (prl). If your TWS is around 50%, it means it's GSM auto (prl)
First things first, go into Settings> About Phone> Battery> Battery Use> Cell Standby. Assuming your phone has been on, or off the charger for ~10 minutes, it should show Time Without Signal at around 50%.
Next thing, press HOME, and bring up the dialer. Dial *#*#4636#*#* (Do not press "Call"). After a second, it should bring up the "Testing" menu.
Go into Phone Information, press MENU, and tap "select radio band." You should experience a Force Close, don't panic, this was supposed to happen. Scrolling down shows that the preferred network type is GSM auto (prl).
What this means is that even though you are connected to a CDMA network, your phone is trying to find a GSM network, preventing the radio from sleeping, and causing excessive battery drain.
Remedy this by tapping GSM auto (prl), and changing it to CDMA auto (prl).
Now your done, your TWS should drop dramatically, and you should experience much better battery life!
Note: You need to do this every time you reboot.
Confirmed. I did this a week ago. Even after a couple reboots, the setting sticks. I didnt see a huge increase but that is probably me.
Just followed your instructions but mine was already set to CDMA auto (PRL).
Thanks for the info though, I'll make sure to remind my friends to check theirs.

It doesn't actually stick. It's a visual glitch, the setting itself is still GSM auto (prl), but it displays CDMA auto (prl). First post updated to be more specific.
Thanks for this! I had tried the airplane mode toggle method before but it didn't work. Looks like this fix is holding.
Now, if only there was a way to make this survive (or at least start up after) a reboot.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable then I will make a script that runs at bootup to automagically change it,
As has been noted elsewhere, the application "Network" from the market also provides quick access to this setting.

I go in and make the change then I hit the home button and then go back into the Testing menu and check to see if the change stuck. After the force close it shows the GSM is still on. Is this a glitch or do I need to do something else to make it stick.
hmmm, wonder if the "Time without Signal" is a visual glitch, and the "better battery life" is the placebo effect...
nah..
I was the one that started the other thread about better battery life. Doing these steps does not help me at all. I have to go in and turn on airplane mode and then turn it off before I see my "time without a signal: start to go down.

I would agree with you, but after about a week of testing I've come to the conclusion that the amount of increased battery life I've seen is too big of a difference to be a placebo effect.
Any established dev want to back me up on this?
#1) This is the second time I have went in to change the network and it has never showed GSM (PRL). It is always CDMA (PRL). (Otherwise the first time I ever went in it already showed CDMA.)
#2) Even though it says CDMA if I try and change it and change it back I do not get a force close.
#3) I do have TWS issues as it creeps up throughout the day, the airplane trick does seem to help some.
#4) At my work my signal strength is very low and I normally have no bars or one bar. My battery seems to drain like crazy at work.
Did not know if anyone could help me make sense out of all of this.

You don't change it and change it back. You press menu> change radio band.
Then it force closes.
I had CM11 on my Nexus 4 and did a full wipe, then flashed the official Lollipop image (using flash-all.sh script). The process went smooth, without any problems.
Now, I am having WiFi issues. When I turn on WiFi from quick settings it changes the icon, but doesn't connect to the network yet. If I try to access WiFi settings it opens them up, but I can see only the actionbar and a blank white screen. No networks shown. Sometimes I even get "The app is not responding dialog". It sits like this for about 30-60 seconds and after that it connects to the network and I am able to access WiFi settings.
Sometimes I can't turn WiFi on at all. Quick settings don't change the WiFi icon to the ON state. If I try to turn it on from the Settings, the switch does literally nothing - not even "Turning WiFi on..." shows up.
I tried to reflash the system - still get these issues. Tried reflashing just the radio module - didn't fix it. No idea what to do. KitKat worked just fine.
Does anyone else have similar problems?
Same issues, but on a Nexus 10.
I have exactly the same issues as you, but on a Nexus 10. Running LRX21P 5.0 Lollipop.
+1
I used Wugfresh 1.9.6
Downloaded and installed LRX21T
Did a complete wipe (cache and factory reset)
Did a selective restore of ~75 apps from Google backup
Played with the machine for hours.
Rebooted, now got no wifi
Anyone suggest a workaround?
EDIT: I came across this post in the Nexus 5 Thread , where he suggests changing your router's channel to something below 12. I changed mine from 13 to 8 and now wifi seems to be working.
EDIT2: Sadly the above was a red herring. The problem seems more complex. Hopefully Google will release a fix soon

I don't think my problem depends on the available WiFi networks. But thanks for the response.
I have the exact same issues, Wifi doesn't turn on at all. It doesn't matter if I press the quick settings button or the button in the menu. It says Wifi on, but nothing happens. After the screen goes dark, Wifi turned itself off again.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

I'm having the exact same issue. Wiped with ADB and flashed LRX21T factory image from Google's website. No error codes during flash.
Wifi is great - if you leave it on all the time. As soon as it turns off, it will NOT turn on. I get no error message, no timeout like it usually does when Wifi isn't working properly, no crash report. Nothing. Just a stalled Wifi acting like it's turning on. If I exit Wifi settings page, and come back, it shows as being off. Turn it on, and it just hangs the same way.
So frustrating.
It's for sure not the network I'm on, as it also doesn't turn on when I'm not near Wifi, or when I'm at a friend's house. Rebooting the phones makes the Wifi work again...until it turns off for ANY reason. Then we're back at square 1.
I'm having this same issue...
My WiFi seems to turn itself off. Then there is no way I can get it to turn back on unless I reboot the phone.
Very frustrating.
I have the same issue.I sideloaded the OTA and everything went great,no errors during the installation.I was on stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Wifi it takes around 30 sec to connect to a network.If i click on the Wifi menu in the setting it usually freezes or I get a black screen.After that Wifi works fine,but another thing I noticed it doesn't remember new networks.I don't know if a factory reset would help...
Anyone find a solution yet? Did a factory reset eliminate the problem for somebody?
I got the same thing. Currently, I'm using Power Toggles to do the on/off setting.

I'm facing a different issue. Whether I have WiFi on or off, it always appears active in the battery usage stats ('scanning always available' is off)
WiFi was off when the screen was off from about 3 am to 2 pm.

I am having the same issue. very frustrating. it was working perfectly last night on my home network, but now it wont connect to my work network. it has the same issues as everyone else. the wifi toggle will turn on, but it will not show any networks. then after a couple of seconds it will turn itself off.
^^i am having that issue as well. the battery usage stat page is showing wifi as on even though it is off.
Have the same issue. After some standby time, turning Wifi on again, it showed me networks where I am not close to anymore and didn't show me the actual networks where I am right now. This seems to be a serious bug that needs fixing. I don't want to reboot my phone to fix it. Didn't Google delayed the Lollipop-Update because of some Wifi issues?
I have all the symptoms listed in this thread. I filed a bug report too: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=80028&q=LRX21T
Found this thread when this problem popped up for me after flashing the factory images one by one. Might try to find a source-built ROM using a later version to see if it got fixed.

I'm facing a different issue. Whether I have WiFi on or off, it always appears active in the battery usage stats ('scanning always available' is off)
WiFi was off when the screen was off from about 3 am to 2 pm.

Hi there, I'm writing from my Zuk now and I have a WiFi issue.
As from this screen of battery drain, my WiFi results always on, but it isn't.
I thought it was the "always scanning" feature, but it turned out it was disabled too.
I also tried to turn it on and off again, and it didn't work.
It's 6 pm and my battery is only at 43% whith non a deep use...any clue with that?
Others have this issue? Tried to Google on this forum but I didn't find anything.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

---------------------Small update------------------------
After yesterday post, I tried to reboot the phone with WIFI turned OFF.
At the reboot, the WiFi was not in use and the indicator in battery stats was right.
Then i tried to TURN ON the WIFI, was connected several minutes, then i disconnected it, but the indicator in battery stats was still counting it as "WiFi on".
After a sencond reboot, the indication goes on normally as WiFi OFF".
So, my conclusion is: when i turn the WIFI ON, it's start to count as IN USE; then when i TURN IT OFF, it's still counted as IN USE, untill i apply a reboot.
I'm not sure if it's just a bug of indication, or if the WiFi really remain ON, despite of the indicator.
Curious to see if anyone else have this problem.
More, i would like to submit this bug, there is any way to do it?
thank you.
I suppose it's a google/lollipop bug because I had it on my note 4 and on any version of lollipop on it! Nothing I could do to make it go away!
However, to see this bug on a zuk is kind of a surprise to me because cyanogen usually fixes those nasty bugs!

Man that's what I told you! I have the same bug on my note 4! Exact same behavior! After reboot it goes well until I turn wifi ON again!
But rest assured that's a graphical bug only as far as my investigation revealed! Wifi is turned off and it's not ON!

Well, from your previous message I didn't understand you meant all you wrote here, because you wrote only that you had the same bug on note 4, nothing more ?
I hope they will fix this bug in the following updates.

Disable location scanning. It's not a CM but rather a google apps issue.

How would I go about disabling location scanning?
I have disabled same bro.. But issue still exists..i am on nuclea Rom....
I did some testing myself and found out the issue. Even if you disabled some of those general wifi scanning features some apps have permission to scan for wifi and so you will see wifi is always on in the battery menu. The only way to truly fix that is if you go to privacy guard, if your ROM has it, go to advanced and then go through every single application and disable wifi scan. After doing this whenever i turned wifi on or off it showed in the battery stats. :highfive:
Hi, its my first time writing here, but not using this forum.
First of all, sorry if my english is not good enough.
I have a Nexus 6P stock, without root or anything. This week I installed Android 7.1.2 from google beta program, after that, I was having draining battery issue, so, I checked the battery usage and discover that the Wi-Fi never stop, then, after reading on some blogs about this problem and found that I should go to WiFi setting and disable some option in "keep wifi on sleep", however, when i click on setting key, always appear this messages "Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping". Things I did:
1) Disable Wi-Fi, try clicking on setting key - still the problem
2) Restart on safe mode - still the problem
3) clean the cache from recovery mode - still the problem
Any other suggestions without restoring the cell phone?
Thanks in advance

Hi... The gear icon force close... It's a bug in this beta version, nothing you should worry about.
However, I have no idea for your battery drain...

Have You tried with - Settings - Location - press the 3 dots - Scanning - And disableing everything there ?
So...if I can't access the wifi settings is there any way to disable the wifi optimization or otherwise prevent it from dropping a wifi connection that it detects has no internet?

Unfortunately the only thing that usually fixes that is a factory reset. And if that doesn't work it's a ROM issue. Even though it's a stock ROM it happens.
Your best bet is probably a factory reset at this point. Usually if Settings or another system app is crashing on Stock, something is pretty messed up. You could either opt out of the beta and it will wipe/downgrade for you, or you can download a factory image from Google and install it manually if you're so inclined.
I have the same issue on my s6 after it updated to Nougat. Settings crashes every time if I try to open wifi, no matter what. Already wiped system cache and started in safe mode, but the problem is still there. Has anybody figured out a solution to this?
Did you try what was suggested..... ?

I tried everything except factory reset, which I don't want to do yet.
I have this problem but I'm running Nougat on a stock "International" Samsung Galaxy S7.
I've tried factory resetting which fixed the issue for a while, but now it's come back.
Possible Fix Found!

I may have found a possible fix for this issue. Head over to this Android Central Thread where I've been discussing the issue with some other people.
Good luck!
