Hi there,
On my TX, I noticed this setting and it sounds handy, but I am not sure that when I have it enabled in the Settings, that I should also have my WiFi (in the "main settings" page) On or Off? It sounds like a stupid question, isn't it? Well, I mean if Location-Based WiFi setting turns WiFi on or off automatically, then does it still turn on even if I have WiFi turned off (and no WiFi logo showing in notifications?
In other words, I can see that Location-Based WiFi is on (in notification bar) whether or not WiFi is on or off. So that does that mean it is independent of the WiFi setting?
Thx in advance
Ken

Good question, I'm intrigued too! I believe the way to do it is to have WiFi on when you activate it, but after that I am not sure. Google search should help, you could also see if there is any info on Sony website.
If you work it out, please share your info here!

After that it really turns your WiFi on and off. Even if you want it out it will turn out on. That's the biggest (and only) flaw in the location based service imo

Hi there,
Sorry but to clarify, do you mean it doesn't matter if your WiFi is on or off or not - the Location-Based setting overrides it? There is no visual indication of whether or not your WiFi has been turned on or not by the Location-Based setting.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi, if you have activated location based WiFi, you will see an icon that location based WiFi is active, and when you are near a location you have activated with location based WiFi you will see the WiFi icon in your taskbar.
The normal WiFi icon still applies. If you are at a location you will see the WiFi icon, if you are not you won't see it.
You can enable WiFi if you are not at a programmed location, but of you are at a programmed location it will always try too keep WiFi on, thus enabling it again if you intentionally turn it off.

Yes, you're right. When I have the Location Wi-Fi icon on the left of the notification bar showing, the other main WiFi icon will switch on or off by itself, depending if you near one of your listed WiFi connections. Awesome.
So in other words, it doesn't matter if you turn WiFi on or off or not, it will turn on/off by itself if you have Location Based WiFi on. I assume the first step I guess, would have been to turn it on, as you have to register one of your WiFi networks anyways.
Thanks again for the posts.
Regards
I use location based WiFi in conjunction with Juice Defender.
That way, JD keeps the WiFi off when my phone is sleeping but it gets turned on when I turn my screen on and am near a home network!
Yesterday I didn't use my phone all day apart from 2 very short phone calls and was at 89% battery life when I went to bed! This is very unusual as I'm always on my phone so really surprised me!
If I helped hit thanks!

Wifi battery consumption it's really nice, less than 1% by hour when phone is sleeping :good:

I often find when I'm stopped at traffic lights and stuff my phone tings... and its trying to connect me to some random wi-fi network! It also does the same at work and its increadibly annoying... especially when you're slyly texting in the toilet!!
How can I turn this off?
if you disable it when you dont use wifi
you will also save a lot of batt

I'd rather not have to turn the wi-fi off to be honest. I'd rather have a way of stopping it from constantly searching for a network.
That's just daft, takes 2 secs to turn wi-fi off and back on and that would solve your problem. And like the person above it would save your battery - which we all need on the diamond!!
There is an app out there even called wi-fi on/off, that you add to your favourite programs, and makes it EVEN quicker to turn your wi-fi on and off.
I can imagine any other solution to this made up problem would be entirely longer than just switching your wi-fi off.
Just go to Wi-Fi Settings; then go to Menu/Advanced->Turn On available network notifications and uncheck it; i think it will still search for wireless networks, but won't notify you (so battery usage doesn't decrease).
Hope this helps.

Thanks... thats exactly what I was looking for.
I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but couldn't find it again.
I use Wi-Fi for about 80% ofmy day - so I don't ever turn it off. Its just when I'm out, or in the car etc it seems to pick up stray networks!

I have a wifi issue that is a little different from other I have read here.
Issue: When my phone screen is off, it will NOT auto-connect to saved Wifi hotspots (eg, home, office) within range, until I wake up the phone (turn on the screen).
When it is connected to the Wifi hotspot, it will keep the connections even when the screen is off. (non issue)
I have set "Keep Wifi on during Sleep" to Always, and set "Sleep mode" to off. "Power Saver" is off too. Mobile data is off (I turn it on only when I need it). I checked battery usage, and Wifi is constantly on, just that it does not connected to the saved Wifi.
My question/issue is, is it normal for the One to not auto-connect to saved Wifi hotspots within range when the screen is off?
On my old HTC EVO 3D running ICS, it will automatically connect to the same hotspots without the need to wake up the phone (turn on the screen).
My One is still using the stock Rogers firmware (1.29.631.4)
UPDATE: I found that this appears to happen only when the screen has been off for a longer time (more than a couple hours). If I have waken the screen up an hour before it entered the saved wifi range, then it seems to auto-connect fine. Need more testings.

I do believe it is normal. It's to conserve power your phone would have to have a wakelock to connect to another network draining power. As I understand it the ONE puts the wifi into a power saving mode when it's not connected so it's not constantly draining your power while driving. Once you wake the screen it will then connect as it assumes you want it.

Should that be an option to turn that off, such as the "Wifi Sleep Policy" I saw from some other rom? Or the settings I mentioned above disable that behaviour already?

Don't think so. The wifi sleep would turn the wifi radio off which isn't happening. Oh quick thought check the network and make sure the phone is set to auto connect that would do it for sure!

Can anyone else confirm if this behaviour is normal or not?
So if I don't wake my screen, I will never get any sync when the screen is off and I just get back into wifi range?

As I have indicated in my first post, this has been set to "Always" already. Are you sure that works for you?
What is the phone not doing that you want it to do? Just turn on auto sync if you want your email and FB updates to be waiting for you. Or is that not working?
Quick test. Put your phone to sleep with gmail autosync push mail on. Turn off data and only enable WiFi. Then send yourself an email from a computer, if you get a notification on your phone while it is sleeping, then it is working. Or you can place a voip call with viber or send yourself a viber text from another phone.

It is not auto connecting to the saved Wifi networks when I go to work, or when I go home, with the screen off. I have to wake the phone (press the power button) and you can see that it will connect to the saved Wifi networks. The FB notifications and Whatsapp notifications are pushed, so they don't require auto-sync to be on.

If my phone is already connected to the Wifi networks, putting it to sleep will NOT disconnect it from the Wifi network. It only happens when I changed from one saved network to another (home to work, or work to home) with the screen off, then it will not auto-connect. I have tested that and I'm not getting the notification in that situations. I have to wake the phone up to trigger the auto-connect.

Is your wifi toggle always on? Or do you turn it off once you leave a certain network? The only way the device will auto connect to a saved network, is if the wifi toggle is already turned on before you go near a saved wifi network.
If you want a saved network to automatically turn on wifi and connect to a saved network, you will need some thing like juice defender. It teaches itself to know when you're near a saved wifi network and it will automatically turn on your wifi toggle on and connect to the saved network. Then once you leave the area or lock your device, it will automatically toggle off wifi and disconnect from the wifi network.

Not sure what you mean by "wifi toggle always on". My Wifi (under setting) on the phone is always on. I never turned it off. Under Power History, I can also see that Wifi is always on (un-interrupted blue bar).
I contacted HTC support, and they asked me to change the WiFi band frequency from "Auto" to "2.4GHz" and reboot the phone. It seems to have fixed the problem so far (after a couple days of testing). Although it would have been nice if they can fixed the problem properly.

Yeah, I just got the One almost a month ago and seriously thinking of returning it because of this issue. I wish I wouldn't have rooted it because since I did for some reason I can't get ADB to recognize my device. I've tried everything my noob brain can think of to fix it and the wifi issue but nothing works. I see that no other developers have a fix either as no apps or threads here give a solid solution.
I might give AT&T the money to warranty it and just get another device but I want that to be my last resort.
Personally, I think it might be an isolated hardware defect that was addressed with later devices which is why it is not as wide spread and therefore doesn't generate a need to find a workable solution.

Same here. Already tried deactivating all the options in the advance setting. Will monitor if it will still persist.
Maybe you have installed "Battery Guru" / "DU Battery Saver". I don't remember which one of them was turning on my wifi (I'm almost sure it was "Battery Guru", though). So if this is your case, look for those apps settings and turn on the option that allows them to turn on wifi.

It could be an app that you have installed that you have given permission to activate WiFi with out noticing?
All types of apps ask for this kind of permission, not just power management apps.
Do you have bad signal in your house? Maybe it's reverting to mobile data due to bad signal? Mine does it in some parts of my house.

Hey Guys , I found a solution to this problem .
Go to settings> WiFi> advanced . Then untick "Scanning always available" . This would solve the problem .

there are some apps that can turn your wifi, like viber. for viber go to settings, general and there you should the wifi setting
Hi guys, I have a question and I tried to search the forums to see if anyone else had this problem, but I haven't been able to find a thread, so I apologize if this has been asked before but.... I have a Moto X on Verizon (not rooted or ROM'd) and my wifi is constantly turning itself on, even when I manually turn it off. I've tried going into advance settings to fix it there, but it still keeps turning itself back on. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions?
What did you do in advanced wifi settings? Try turning off Google location services or all Location services. Does wifi still turn itself on? Check for any apps that may be calling for constant location access. Are you on your home wifi and does this happen elsewhere? Do you have mobile data on?

I unclicked scanning always available and keep wifi on during sleep. If I turn off all location services, won't that also turn off my GPS? The wifi is always turning on when I'm home, but it's also happened while I was driving or at school. I don't think I have any apps installed that'd be searching for wifi on its own, but I'm not sure how to check on that for sure.
Turning off Google location services won't affect gps, navigation, etc. Turning off the main Location services does affect those things. I was just hoping it would give you insight as to what is causing the issue. If you turn Location off and wifi does turn off, it may have to do with location settings in some app. Another way would be to boot into safe mode (no other apps running) with location services on. If wifi turns off, some app may be responsible. Get Safe mode by long-pressing the Power off and choosing OK to boot into safe mode. My advanced settings in wifi are Keep wifi on during sleep - Always, wifi optimization checked, and wifi band - Auto. All other settings are off.

Wifi drain
This thread may be dead, but I thought I would try since it is similar to my issue. I have 2 XT1060s and have them both set up the same. Keep wifi on during sleep - only when plugged in. Unchecked scanning always available. Both phones have the same apps and settings. On one of my phones, the wifi will sleep just fine. On the other, the wifi shows 100% on time. I bought both phones used. The one that stays on all of the time was factory reset and set up from scratch. Problem is the one that has great battery life is pink and white, but I would prefer to use the all black one if I can get the battery life to improve. Any suggestions or troubleshooting info requests. Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone
I have a profile that that kicks in every 30 mins from 8 am to 9pm, to sync my account. I have set it up to use wifi first, but if there is no wifi connection it will go to my mobile data instead.
Now here is the problem if my phone is on standby it always connects via mobile data regardless of a wifi connection is available. But if I am using my device at the time when the task runs then it will connect to wifi. I have checked my, keep wif on in sleep option and it is set to always.
Could anyone explain as to what this is happening?
Thanks in advance
What is your Android version?
I am currently using a custom rom called exodus which is currently based on marshmallow.
Check if Tasker is excludied from Battery Optimization and whether Wi-Fi is not deactivated while the phone is in sleep mode in Settings/Wi-Fi/Advanced/Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep.
yep tasker is excluded from battery optimisation and the allow wifi during sleep policy is always.
If you're turning wifi on with tasker action wifi turn on, try instead of that shell script "svc wifi enable".
Ok thanks, I will let you know the out come of this. I was using secure settings to enable Wifi as the command built in tasker, is not compatible from kitkat and onwards if I remember correctly.
I found out "svc wifi enable" command does exactly the same thing
Discovered I'm having the very same problem on cm13 and the batch jobs have been done by initialized mobile data. Finally found out a solution to initialize wifi instead of mobile data. I've no limited data plan, but wifi is more battery friendly.

Yes under normal circumstances it takes about 20 seconds to connect.
No because for some reason my wifi will only switch on if the screen is on.
I also have uninstaled my custom kernel, but this issue still appears from time to time.
There's a setting in wifi connection settings that you can set to that says "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep"
This same setting is often repeated in battery apps like powernap, naptime, better battery saver etc.
Even though the wording is the same, I don't believe they are all touching the same setting so go find those apps if you have them installed.
Also, disable all native battery savers (including Samsung 2 or 3 different ones,, doze, battery optimization etc etc just to see if your problem goes away.... Which it will. At least you'll know though
I have the same problem with Wi-Fi connection.
I have a profile to turn Wi-Fi on and try to connect when certain conditions meet and the screen is off in that case.
It seems that the phone has difficulties turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to it when screen is off. Tasker does manage to turn Wi-Fi on but the phone somehow does not connect *reliably* in all cases.
Tasker is excluded from battery optimization, Wi-Fi on during sleep. I tried turning cpu on for a short time hoping that it will connect, but still no result.
The only possible solution might be turning the screen on briefly at that moment.
If anybody has a better idea, you are more than welcome to share!

It seems that the phone has difficulties turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to it when screen is off. Tasker does manage to turn Wi-Fi on but the phone somehow does not connect *reliably* in all cases.
Tasker is excluded from battery optimization, Wi-Fi on during sleep. I tried turning cpu on for a short time hoping that it will connect, but still no result.
The only possible solution might be turning the screen on briefly at that moment.
If anybody has a better idea, you are more than welcome to share!

I can certainly say that turning the screen on will enable wifi, as I have resulted to this as well. But unfortunately I do not know any other solutions to try.

There's a setting in wifi connection settings that you can set to that says "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep"
This same setting is often repeated in battery apps like powernap, naptime, better battery saver etc.
Even though the wording is the same, I don't believe they are all touching the same setting so go find those apps if you have them installed.
Also, disable all native battery savers (including Samsung 2 or 3 different ones,, doze, battery optimization etc etc just to see if your problem goes away.... Which it will. At least you'll know though

My Wifi is set to always "keep wifi on during sleep"
I'm going to resort to flashing stock rom again and see if that helps. As I am only using doze and amplify to save battery, all settings for that has been adjusted to the guide I found.

Before reflash, just disable xposed and see what you get... I will bet half of this soft taco I'm eating your problem disappears with greenify and or amplify. I'm not saying don't use them at all... Just make sure it works without them. I used to have some serious battery apps, but found after disabling, my battery was IMMENSELY better. And I had no config to deal with. But first things first... IT'S without a doubt, no question, a battery app setting or a system app that's being put to sleep that should be white listed
