Whenever I am on wifi i get a constant connect message like it just reconnected. Is that normal? is it actually disconnect/reconnecting? or is it just reminding me its connected? does anyone know or have the same experience? Thanks
Good question, same thing happens to me

I do too. I believe it's actually disconnecting and reconnecting.
Make sure that wifi isn't set to turn off when the phone is sleeping (screen off)

I also experience this. I have "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to "Always". Now after 5 days or so, I'm getting "Your Internet is unstable" messages. Internet is fine for all other devices.

Same here and I also checked the box under advanced options to auto switch.

Thanks for your replies. So far I am thinking this is a bug or fault. It seems when I am trying to connect to Google Play many times while this thing keeps restarting the wifi radio, it also shows a "not connected, please retry" message as well.or it just kind of 'hangs" hehe yep kind of in an unready state upon delivery im guessing well i actually think its a touchwiz issue more so than an aosp problem...
It also happened to me but I went on to uncheck "Wi-Fi notifications" in the Advanced settings in Wi-Fi and it stopped notifying me every time it "reconnected" if that's actually what it's doing.

And you sir are a genius. Thank you so much
The point is two fold, stop the notification and find out why it constantly disconnecting

Ok, I have a rooted Verizon Note 3 with Beans ROM on it. In the ROM, it appears to have some version of the Wanam Xposed. In every possible selection either in the phone settings, Beans, or Wanam, I have de-selected or selected turning that stupid notification off. I found one thread on the forum with a flash/.zip file, but it is no longer there. Can someone help me turn this off?.....
has anyone gotten this? I have GPS off, but the finding location notification and reticle comes up and just never goes away since GPS is obviously off. how can I figure out which app is doing this? it just started, but i haven't installed any new apps lately...

u could install a firewall app where u can enable every app by its own. first shut all apps off, than on one by one to find out which makes this. this is what i would do. yes the app is not for GPS, but mostly when an app starts trying to find out ur location than it wants to deliver the data somewhere. so it could work like this. i have "android firewall" from the play store. its the icon with the blue shield an an android logo on it.
@jayochs GPS toggle switch actually leaves wifi and mobile network location on(Google). Just drops hardware/verizon* GPS. You can long press toggle to check. Not sure if this is your problem, but I found this odd testing and just making sure you are aware. I don't get GPS pops when completely off, I do when I toggle the switch.
Hello whoever may lend a helping hand,
I've got a problem with my Note 4 Location services. Whenever i set it to on mode, it will somehow automatically switch off by itself over time. I've tried many ways to stop this from happening but to no avail. I dont see any programs or app that is turning my location off for me.
The reason i would prefer it to be switched on is because im using google "keep" and alerts are normally based on location. If my location keeps turning off, google is not able to notify me of reminders when im at certain locations.
Does anyone have similar problems?

Running into the exact same issue. Very annoying
When you exit Ultra Power Saving mode, Location Services is not switched back on. It's a glitch that will probably be sorted out in a future update.

Thanks for your reply! Is there a way around this? How do i solve this problem? Thanks alot.

No way around it unfortunately. Just remember to turn Location back on after you disable Power Saving.

Ok. But i dont use power saving thus how is this affecting me?

Oh, I assumed you did, my bad. If you don't use Ultra Power Saving, then it must be something else. I really don't know!

Hey, i have the exact same issue. Without using power savings mode or any tasker apps, my location services randomly turns off. It is extremely annoying
Have you found a fix yet?
This is related with the other device having the same user but different settings

Make sure it's set on "High accuracy" mode. I know you're most likely have it on "High accuracy" mode, but just make sure. Maybe a stupid suggestion but oh well.
Same problem
Location services keep turning off.
Phone goes to no service every day or two ( tried turning off lte) has to reboot to fix.
Mobile data and WiFi seems to also turn on and off randomly.
Reception is poor vs my s3 and s5.
All in all this phone is shaping up to be disappointing.
Samsung has a no swap out policy in SA so they are prepared for me to take it in to get fixed. Last time that happened it took 3 weeks to get my phone back.
I'm convinced it's the carriers branded software pre loaded that causes trouble. Vodacom (Vodafone)
The location services bug only seems to have started a few weeks ago after an update.
I thought it was related to the places feature and I've tried to disable it but can't find how to do it.
Just got my Note 4 a few weeks ago and I'm seeing this happen too. Bump to see if anyone has any solutions!
I'm on Rogers in Canada, running stock, unrooted, baseband version N910W8VLU1ANJ3, build number KTU84P. I do not use Power Saving mode (some have said that location services don't turn back on after exiting Ultra Power Saving). Seems to happen regardless of battery life (just turned off on the way to work in the morning with full battery).
I really only noticed because I tried using a location based profile in Tasker using AutoLocation, and it kept notifying me that location services were turned off. It also affects a weather/clock widget. No other Tasker profiles that would affect it.
Anybody have any ideas why this is happening? Any ideas for fixes?
UPDATE: So yesterday afternoon I booted into recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset. Everything seems to be holding so far in terms of Location Services staying on. Might have just been a glitch or something. I'll report back if they turn off again.

i have the same problem my location services turns itself off even though my power saving mode is disabled. Time and time again i have to turn back on the location services . Please help .
I have a S5 and everytime I leave the house my location services turns off by itself. I can't explain it cause I literally use my phone for calling/texting and games. I don't mess with apps, setting, configurations, or power saving mode. But the really weird thing is that if it doesn't shut itself off completely it says I'm in a different location all together. Help please!
I just realized, after about 4 months, that I haven't been getting voicemails. Upon searching I found my voicemail app turned off but the "turn on" button is greyed out and I can not turn it back on. Any idea how to get this back on? Here is a screenshot. Thanks in advance.

i did the same thing with the visual vm service cause it wasnt working and i tried freezing and unfreezing.. but it wouldn't unfreeze. i had to download an app called APP QUARANTINE.. which was the only one that reenabled it (with root).. dunno why but it worked. the option to "turn on" wasn't available for some reason.

Wrong post. ignore.
I just took the latest T-Mobile update, and no matter what I do, the WiFi turns itself back on. I've tried powering it off and restarting phone, checked advanced for smart switch (or something), powering off wifi, clearing cache, checked program permissions. Everything I can think of. I'm losing my mind. Anyone with a similar issue?
Not on my T-mo S7 Edge.
In B4 the rest of the crew ... do a factory reset !
I really don't want to factory reset. I was hoping someone else has seen this and can help.

By any chance did you install Samsungs new user interface Good Lock? It could be that is what's turning it back on based on location.
It was the updated Google Now ( or just the search app) it asked for permission after the fact, I denied it and now it hasn't turned itself on... Will Update.
I lied. It is still doing it. Anyone with an idea, it even does it in airplane mode (just flew to Chicago)
I took New update, have alot disabled with package disabler and wifi is fine for me

Yeah after reading this. I turned mine off for a couple hours and it stayed off. Maybe an app causing this?

YES. I just did the update and my wifi is turning off/turning on by itself! wtf damnit.
tmobile s7 edge
Did anyone figure this out, massively annoying.
It happened to me. It may seem like the tmobike update but its not. How I fixed it is by uninstalling the last 3 or so apps that you installed, rebooting your phone, and it quit for me then I reinstalled one by one, watching behavior very closely. Also check advanced wifi settings to see if auto hotspot connect, always scan, etc is enabled.

It started doing it for me after I paired my new gear s2 to it... Anyone else in the same boat? Just trying to seee what our common denominator is.
Again, for those that are having these issues... do you have your t-mobile app installed?
My may seem like a silly question but on my girlfriends S6 there was an option called network manager or wifi manager (or something to that effect.)
As soon as she disabled that she didn't have that problem anymore. Worth a look.
