Hi,
Verizon Galaxy S4, with Hyperdrive 17.1 installed. Been using Hyperdrive for several months with no issue.
Today, after using the Hotspot, I tried turning Wifi on. It gave me the prompt "Turning on Wi-Fi will turn off Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Continue?" as expected. I selected yes, and the Wifi icon turned to green "ON" for a second, then the "Hotspot Activated" notification popped up again and Wifi switched backed to "OFF".
I then tried to disable Hotspot on my own first. Any time I try to turn Wifi on, it immediately activates Hotspot.
I renamed all of the files under /data/misc/wifi, the Wifi AP settings and Hotspot settings look default, and it still pops up the Hotspot Activated immediately after turning Wifi on.
Rebooted, wiped caches, took out battery, no luck.
Is there a script somewhere that's triggering on Wifi on and turning Hotspot on automatically? Where might a script like that live?

My wifi is stuck on - I click turn off wifi in connections, and nothing happens, just the whirly progress thingy for a few seconds, but the wifi does not turn off. I also can't see the list of available wireless networks in the sense UI, only if I go to the old WM wifi app, but I can't turn off wifi from here either. Any ideas??
turn the phone into plane mode and then turn it back off.
Still not able to turn off wifi
OK, so I go into plane mode, everything turns off EXCEPT wifi is greyed but still ON! Can't select it to turn it off. Then go to settings, all settings, wifi - "turn on wifi" is ticked. I untick it, but wifi does not turn off after I click ok. Go back in and it is still ticked - so unticking it had no effect!
Something to do with Wifi Monster?
I installed Wifi Monster, which did not work, prior to this problem. My wireless card was not detected, so I uninstalled it. Since then, I have not been able to turn wifi off. Is this a coincidence?
So yesterday I tried to update my nook color rooted cm7 (not sure which version, but was used when nightly 177 was highest) to CM7.1.0-11162011-nightly-encore, but the thing is, my wifi would connect for maybe 5 minutes before it disconnects.
Then I would have to go to wifi settings to reconnect or sometimes it reconnects by itself. On my old version of CM7, the wifi was flawless. It would never disconnect like it does now, so I am sure it is not router problem.
Now it just says "out of range" when disconnecting. I tried the method where I forget all my networks and then connect again, but it didnt work. I also checked my adhoc = 0 thing from the root.
Anyone know why it is like that? I rooted my sd card with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 website.
since my wifi didnt work, i reformatted my sdhc card and set it up again, following the rules on the website including setting up wifi before installing gapps. Wifi still disconnects.
I have also tried using the update-cm-7.1.0-encore signed, which still doesnt solve the wifi problem.
Is this because the wifi goes into sleep mode even if the screen is on? Im pretty much on the wifi setting screen, and seeing the wifi go from connected -> disconnected -> scanning "loop". My wifi is set to sleep when screen is off, but it should still stay connected if my screen is on right? It just disconnects and reconnects constantly while I look at the wifi settings
Thank you for reading! please help..
Same issue. Wifi keeps disconnecting after about 5 minutes.
Have you tried deleting all of your old wifi spots?
Ok I fixed my problem by limiting my router to 802.11 g. Suddenly no more drops.
Yea I did the "forget" all wifi networks and it still disconnects.
Would it still be my router problem if the wifi stayed connected on my earlier version? The one before I upgraded to cm7.1.0.
Hmm. I had that issue until going into advanced wifi settings and changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never. Will keep monitoring.
Where did you find the advanced wi-fi settings? I go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi- Settings, but my choices are: turn on Wi-Fi, Network notification, and add Wi-Fi Network.
Also, I'm using [CM7.2-RC0] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod...I don't know if that would make a difference?
I assume you already figured out since you posted on the other thread.
My Oneplus 6T is rooted. I tend to keep my wifi adapter turned off to save battery life. Few days after I purchased the phone, I noticed that when I turn off wifi, as soon as I lock the phone then unlock it, the wifi toggle will automatically turn back on.
After much research, I went to wifi settings and unchecked all of the following:
Turn on WiFi automatically
Smart wifi switcher
scanning always available
Open network notification
Wifi-Scanning (for apps)
And in the location settings, I changed (limited) location sharing with apps and stopped sharing with Google to avoid having the wifi adapter turning on. Yet the wifi still does, and very quickly after I turn it off.
BTW, My phone is running OxygenOS 9.0.1.
Any ideas please on how to solve this?
The wifi setting "turn on wifi automatically" in the advance settings use to work like a champ but for some reason it won't turn off when i'm outiside of my wifi signal range. I can turn off wifi manually and when i get within a saved wifi signal it will turn wifi on.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any advice will be appreciated!
My WiFi never turned off automatically on its own. I had to create Bixby Routines to turn WiFi off after leaving my apartment and turn it back on when I got home.
My phone would constantly be connecting to any available XFINITY Hotspots which is probably why that setting never worked for me the same way it worked for you.
Could your phone be doing something similar and connecting to Hotspots or open WiFi networks without you realizing it?
Mine has never turned off automatically either, it does turn on automatically when im in range, but i have also setup Bixby routines so im not sure if it turns off automatically now or not.
My hot spot is disabled but before this last update my wifi would turn on and off automatically. Oh Well luckily we have bixby routines lol
Thanks guys!
Unable to turn on wifi hotspot.
My phone is in Nothing os 1.1.2
I tried resetting network setting, restart etc.,
Anyone else faced this issue?
Turn off Wi-Fi, than it should work.
Wow worked. Thanks.
My wifi was not connected to anyone but turned on.
I didn't think I had to manually turn off wifi before turning on hotspot.
