Does anyone uses the installed AT&T smart WiFi App? if so, is it a battery sucker and is it worth turning it on? I am trying to save on my data. and would like to look into some alternative solutions.
Hello XDA, I'm curious if there is a way in either the standard ROM (Which would be Sprint to use with Ting) or a custom ROM to be able to turn off the WiFi and lock it to make it kid friendly? Ting allows data control from their end so it's no problem there, just curious if there is a way to put a PIN on the ability to turn WiFi on and off. Thanks!
AppLocker?

How about locking the Settings app by AppLocker or similar apps after forgetting the WiFi network in the phone?

That could be an option, thanks! I'd like for them to still able to adjust settings on the phone but that seems like the only solution that makes sense so far. Other than just deleting the wifi driver itself.
So is there an option to add a trusted wifi network for smart unlock?
I know I can add my house location, but I don't want to have gps turned on all the time and even so, it's not the most accurate in this regard. I'd rather just have my phone smart unlock when i'm connected to my home wifi.
I thought I saw it somewhere in the settings at one point but I can't find it now... thanks for the help!

Location mode>battery saving should do it.
There is no smartunlock via trusted wifi source, not yet at least. Its something I see a lot of people complaining about (myself included). The unlock by location is extremely unreliable, even when you set a ton of location points around your hour or work.
Having an option to purely remove lock based on which wifi network you're connected to would be amazing.
Once xposed hits you can do this with gravity box. Ravio said his first year version should be out this week. /crossesfingers
Only got my Nexus 6P (H1512) a couple days ago, I did hear that 6.0.1 corrected the smart lock bug for some people, however smart lock is still very unstable for me (fails at work, and at home, about once each per day). Smart unlock by wi-fi connection would be very welcome.

it's available now. you need to install xposed. once xposed set up, there's a couple modules that will do this for you. my fav at the moment is Gravity Box for Marshmallow.

add your home computer as a bluetooth trusted device
I wish I could add a tile as a trusted by device that's at home on my luggage. I just recently uninstalled xposed for Android pay. Forgot how annoying the trusted location was

They problem is the tile doesn't show up in Bluetooth devices, so I'm not sure how to make it work with anything besides it's own app.
Has anyone been able to find a way to turn this feature back on while rooted? Any apps that offer this? Not talking about sharing 4g/3g internet, talking about sharing my wifi with other devices.
S7 had this feature but Verizon wanted to disable it for some reason.
I would also like to know this information.
Hi, i'm new here. Have to say this place looks awesome.
Anybody know how to disable Wifi on my phone? I can root it and am also hoping i can disable Wifi for one of the users OR disable it completely for the entire phone; all users.
