LG Leon - 3 Network - UK Stock ROM recently upgraded to Marshmallow Stock OTA Upgrade.
The "create wifi hotspot" feature was working fine for several months on Lolipop. Recently updated to Marshmallow and the hotspot feature now randomly switches itself off. The duration the hotspot will stay active seems completely random. Sometimes it'll work for minutes other times hours. The connection timeout is set to never. I've had the hotspot die while I was watching a Youtube video so it switches off while the connection is being used. Phone screen on or off seems to have no effect. The phone is fully charged/charging and has a decent 4G signal. The phone is not hot or overheating.
I generally activate the hotspot via the toggle in the pulldown menu. For clarity when I say the hotspot switches itself off the phones data connection remains active and connected. It's the wireless hotspot feature which just randomly turns itself off.
After a bit of googling it seems quite a few people have the same issue. It was suggested I clear the cache, wipe user data & disable the hotspot timeout. I have done all of this, but the problem persists. Has anyone else had a similar problem, either on this or other LG devices? Was there a workaround?
At this point I'd like to roll-back the update and continue using Lolipop. Is this possible?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
I have the strangest behavior with my wifi, the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting between 4G and WiFi every few seconds when i'm at home. This drains my battery in couple of hours and I can't do anything unless i turn off WiFi. I have smooth transition between 4G and Wifi enabled in settings (i've tried disabling it, all it did was to speed up connect and disconnect between 4G and wifi) Anyone else experiencing this strange behaviour with WiFi and 4g?
I have the same behavior. You need to disable "Smart network switch" under the advanced Wi-Fi settings. I have not found a fix that will allow leaving this feature enabled.
I disabled the "smart network switch" and my phone still refuses to connect to known networks that are well within signal range. It may be staying connected better once connected but I have my wifi sleep with the screen so when I wake it up, the wifi should re-connect. Not working well at all. This 5.0 update sucks, you'd think that since Verizon takes forever to get updates to flagship phones that at least they'd be well tested and stable, NOT!
I have an SGH-I337 that is running Cyanogenmod 11-20151112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte with baseband I337UCUAMDB, and I am experiencing some odd WiFi behavior.
The WiFi will be connected, showing in both the notification bar and the WiFi settings, the notification bar with show traffic (blinking up and down arrows), and yet apps won't be able to access the network. I can restart the WiFi via settings and this will usually restore app connectivity, though not permanently; eventually apps will lose connectivity again. Rinse; repeat.
At times I'll get annoyed at having the WiFi problems and turn WiFi off and use LTE. However, the WiFi eventually turns itself back on, often times exhibiting the connectivity issue that drove me to switch to LTE.
Another issue is that the WiFi will forget the settings for a given network. The WiFi app will simply show the network, not indicating that settings are saved, and I'll have to enter them again.
I haven't been able to establish a pattern to these issues, and it's driving me mad! Has anyone seen anything like this? Have any suggestions, besides taking a handgun to the phone?
I have a Galaxy S5 Running Stock Android 5.0 Lollipop, sometimes I came home and found out I don't have wi-fi turned on, I went and turn on Wi-Fi, but the connection no longer works. It will work after I reboot, anyone experience this?
Have you got Smart Network Switch enabled in WiFi settings?
It causes problems for almost everyone, disable it and see if that helps
Mine is not enabled. I will try enabling it to see if it makes a difference. thanks.
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.
Dear all,
I'm experiencing a somewhat weird issue with my Xiaomi Mi A1 (Oreo) which started a couple of months ago.
My WiFi keeps switching on an off.
* When I turn off WiFi, 4G comes up. After a few seconds (I can leave the phone unlocked at the desk, it almost happens instantaneously) Wifi turns on by itself and connects (just as if I switched it on manually).
* When I activate the mobile Hotspot, it switches off after a few seconds, disconnecting all devices connected, only to switch on the regular Wifi after a few seconds and trying to connect to the next network.
* In random cases, Wifi just switches off despite being connected to a working network and while I'm using it.
This is somewhat annoying, and I didn't find any solutions online. Any ideas? Any more information you need (sorry, I'm new here)?
EDIT: This is not the "Turn on Wifi automatically" setting, and it is also not related to location services.
Flash stock rom, sounds like a software bug. Otherwise, return it while you still can.
Thanks.
