Yes am wondering how can i turn wifi completely off??
If i use google maps and then i go back to home ..i can see the wifi widget toggle says that is 'turning off' yet..i had gone to settings and specify for it to be turn off?
I had gone to settings too and specify to only receive data from gps and not wireless (just in case is trying to scan for a wifi router)
so has any body come across this? or has anyone found a solution for this?
It's a bug with the current firmware, when you open google maps the wifi is enabled to help fix your location faster, it doesn't matter if you disabled it in the settings. It seems fixed in newer fw versions.
I noticed the same behaviour on my SGS too, but it's not due to Google Maps.
Everytime when I use the phone, the first few seconds it tries to turn off wifi. I made sure wifi is off everytime I finished using the phone or when I'm not in a wifi zone to save some battery.
This is pretty annoying.
Hi there.
I have the international version of Galaxy S5 (GM-900F) and yesterday I was trying to recover all saved Wi-Fi passwords on my phone. I installed couple of apps from the Google Play Store and uninstalled them all as they didn't work. Since then I cannot enable Wi-Fi. When I tap on the Wi-Fi icon nothing happens it just stays turned off. 4g is fine, but when I enable personal hotspot I get a notification that Wi-Fi will have to be turned off before the hotpot can be enabled. The thing is Wi-Fi is turned off and I still get the same notification.
My phone is rooted but I never had that problem. I flashed the firmware again as I thought the apps messed up some settings,but that didn't help. I dropped the phone couple of times, can the antenna inside break?
Is there anything else I can try before doing a factory reset?
Hi,
I have a problem that my WiFi network disconnects and disappear from the list. Even if I search for network it will not show up.
It looks like a lot of the other WiFi networks around me is also missing when this is happening.
It will suddenly come back again and work as it should for several hours.
I have i locked to 2,4GHz, WiFi always on, scanning is on.
Had the same problem when I used Auto 2,4GHz/5GHz.
All other devices is working as they should. Have also reset the wireless router. (Netgear X4 R7500)
I have the same problem. When I turn the wifi off, and the back on again it discovers my router and connects.
Does anybody have a fix for this?
Same problem here. My 2,4ghz network sometimes just vanishes and shows up after a couple of minutes. And it just won't connect at all with my 5ghz network. My router is a D-link dir 868l. I'm on the latest firmware. My other devices all connect just fine, except for my 6p.
Updated to 6.0.1 and I have still problems. When I come back home, I need to turn off and on WiFi to reconnect. Wifi have not dropped since i updated to 6.0.1 yesterday.
Just curious
Who is your service provider? My girls 5x is connected to Sprint and she has no problems on my network. I have Tmobile on my 6p and it keeps dropping the wifi. Maybe its a Tmobile thing?
reset network config
I had the same problem and try to go to airplane mode on and off then even forget network and add back on. Work for a second and disconnected. So far this way work. Try this.
Got to Setting > Backup & reset > Network Settings reset
Hopefully this will work for you guys too.
Good luck! :good:
My brother has a Nexus 6p and the WiFi doesn't switch on at all after he updated to 6.0.1. I reflashed factory image of 6.0.1 again and it didn't work. I then flashed 6.0 but it still doesn't switch on. Any help?
bump
Anyone have a solution to this problem? I still have this big active, and have been using mobile data since.
I'm losing IPv6 connectivity when I lock my device and the screen turns off. I need to toggle wifi off and on to get it working again. I'm using Honor Play on Android Pie. Is anyone having the same issue?
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.
