Hi,
I just installed Gingerblur 3.1, and I have a problem with the WiFi (I can't post in the original thread because they are asking for at least 10 messages to start posting in that forum, and I think with all my respect that that's a ridiculous).
Back to the problem. My WiFi is automatically activated after I unlock the screen, even if I disable it before, when lock then unlock the screen, it's on again. That's kind of frustrating because it consumes a lot of battery.
Thanks for any help.

I think the OP is talking about the fact they don't want it coming on at all so as to save battery.
I turn my WiFi off when at work to save battery life because our WiFi isn't setup properly yet here. I have no issues with it turning on until I want it to. I too am on GingerBlur 3.1. Sorry I can't help, and I can't duplicate your problem. When I disable my WiFi it stays off.

After reading the op again, I think your right. I misunderstood. My WiFi also stays off when I have it disabled.
http://goo.gl/cVWaQ is a great app to help you remember to turn off your wifi when its not in use. The Power Control widget is a great help as well.
So I've noticed this problem with my SGS3. When I drive into work, I turn off the wifi radio (or whatever the term is) before heading out. As I am driving down the road, the status bar will suddenly show the wifi network discovered icon, so I go into settings and see that Wifi has been enabled again. WTF.
Anyone else having this issue? I don't want my phone constantly scanning for wifi access points and turning on my wifi radio when I have specifically disabled it. Is this a known issue?

Do you have Sprint? If so turn off the connection optimizer. It will stop turning on then

Yes, and I should have put that in the thread title. Thanks.
I actually turn that option off but it seems that the battery wouldn't last me as long when it was on.
DUDE I've been wondering the same thing.
i keep thinking maybe its me hitting it by mistake but its def turning itself on
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.

Are you saying that Power Toggles fix the problem?
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.

Thanks for making the bug report. I've added some details to it.

I have shut WiFi off the the settings pane and it still shows on in the battery monitor. I don't think it is using a lot of battery (hasn't shown up) but some of the stuff in the system shows WiFi usage when it is clearly shut off.
Anyone have any ideas?
Wifi scans for networks (location assist) in the background by default. Go to Settings > Location > overflow (three dots at top right) > Scanning and change the setting for Wifi/bluetooth.
Does this actually mess up location stuff though?
Mine is the same, turned of wifi scanning also.
This is an old bug from the very first lollipop release and its still in marshmallow, can't believe Google haven't fixed this basic thing. It sometimes works correctly if you turn off WiFi before you lose connection by going out of range. Or turn off WiFi and reboot, that definitely does fix it.
No kidding, a reboot after wifi was switched off worked. thanks man.

Shouldn't "mess up" location services. The wifi scanning is supposed to just help find your location more quickly and/or provide more accurate location data without GPS on.
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
