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

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 do not have location based WiFi enabled, but my WiFi occasionally turns on by itself at home. Any idea why? Anyone else have this happen?

always on wifi is a feature of 4.3 for data saving.go to wifi in setting and press menu key and in advanced seting turn it off
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.

Have you use the Batery Guru App?
Check the options for Google location services, there's a wifi option.

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.

I'm suspicious it might be Aviate Launcher. Uninstalled and hasn't happened since but I'll keep watching to see if it happens again

No, that wasn't it
This is the settings you want in BatteryGuru to stop the wifi turning on and off randomly.
Hey Guys , I found a solution to this problem .
Go to settings> WiFi> advanced . Then untick "Scanning always available" . This would solve the problem .
I would like to point out that Sony support team was replying useless software repair emails as solution to this . Kindly understand problem and reply accordingly .
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,
When my hotspot is activated, the hotspot toggle appears in the quick settings. When I press it, it'll deactivate the hotspot. But when I click it again, it doesn't turn on the hotspot. Does anybody recognizes this?
Thanks!

If you are on Verizon, may work on other carriers but not sure, you have to do the following:

I'm on Vodafone NL. Hotspot works great, but the toggle to activate doesn't work. It just shuts the hotspot down, but will never active the hotspot again. I need to do this via the settings menu. Really weird.

Hi,
I almost don't use wifi at all on my phone but the battery usage shows wifi as enabled for almost all time. I don't use location same as I have disabled 'scanning always possible' in wifi options.
I'm out of ideas what can I disable to stop wifi from being on, any ideas?
I'm using rooted stock sony Lollipop.
Thanks.

How about you try this. Go into Settings – Wi-Fi and uncheck the box to keep Wi-Fi on during sleep.
You've looked in advanced settings - wifi used by other apps?

Will try but I always thought that this determines how WiFi should behave when its turned on by user.

Unfortunately disabling this didn't help.
Please post best Bixby routines and routines+ options. (Wifi on/off, driving options....)
At the moment I need option to automatically connect to Buds+ Buds pro if someone call me. (or at least try to connect if am connect to other device)
And how can I set to automatically enable mobile data when I received MMS ( I have definition in routines to disable mobile data if I am on Wifi)
but you would have to have buds pro in your ears in order for it to connect..?

Yes of course. I listen to music on my laptop. But when someone calls I have to switch Buds to S21 ultra first then answear call. Or answear call and quickly transfer call to buds... Very anoying
I just found out if I set on routines mobile data off when I am on Wifi... Other routine with Wifi doesnt work (If Wifi have only 1 bar to disconnect wifi....)

Dont know. I think not. cos if I receive MMS with mobile data off and wifi on I cant get it. if I have mobile data enabled and I am also connected to wifi I receive MMS.

Well, better check it as BBS/Gsam says that mobile data is off when wifi is connected.

No, as far as I have observed it's behaviour, it stays connected, and will kick in when WiFi is still connected but unstable or slow or no internet available.
Also, VoLTE calls are made via mobile data even when connected to WiFi (unless you have WiFi calling enabled).
LTE is not completely disabled when WiFi is connected unless you turn it off manually. At least that's my understanding...
