I used to be able to toggle wifi on and off with power toggles or elixir or widgetziod and now I think I did something because now I can toggle on wifi but when I try to toggle wifi off it takes me to the wifi settings page.... Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have recently experimented with some battery saving type apps... if that helps

How to prevent wifi from sleeping?
I have a few apps that have the permission of "prevent phone from sleeping" but seems the phone will still switch off the wifi soon after the screen timed out. Is it supposed to work like this, or is there some settings for this?
one of the apps i tried is "wireless file transfer lite", which by the way, is a very light wifi transfer tool between phone and pc
Wifi settings > menu button, advanced > Wifi sleep policy.
ha! didn't know there is advanced setting.
many thanks!
Hi,
i've a problem with 3g/2g mobile data connectivity: if i use a data connection switching utility, like APN on/off, Widgetsoid, Toggle Data, etc., when i switch off data connection, the small 3g icon on notification bar is visible, and i can switch on data connetion again, without problem.
But switching off data connection and let phone to go to stand-by (sleep), after a few minutes, the 3g icon disappears from notification bar, and from that point, i'm unable to switch on data connection with the switching utility anymore. The only solution is to switch Airplane Mode on and off.
On my previous phone (Samsung SGS) i haven't experienced such bug. Do you have any idea regarding this?
I've already tried more ROMs (BlazeDragon, Modaco FR19, Modaco leaked GB) and many basebands (218, 502, 622), but the issue has happend everytime.
Thanks and regards:

So I'm a big Tasker user and I use a 7" Android Tablet in my car as my "infotainment system." I have a Tasker profile that when connected to my Car's Bluetooth, turns on Wifi Hotspot and upon disconnection, turns off Wifi hotspot. I noticed that HotSpot was turning on without a problem, but not turning off.
I also have a Widget Button to toggle WiFi Hotspot on/off. Again, it will turn it on, but it doesn't turn it off. As a test, I also used the app Llama and added an action to turn Wifi Hotspot on and another to turn it off. Again, it was able to turn it on with no problem, but when trying to execute the "off" it gave me the error message "WiFiAccessPoint may not be supported by your phone."
This is really annoying since the only other way to turn it off is to go into phone settings, then More, then Wifi Hotspot, then untick "Hotspot" to turn it off.
Besides wondering if this is working on anyone else's phone, I'm wondering if anyone knows where to write or post such bugs for the Moto programmers to see...
FYI - So I found another bug related to this same issue. Besides 3rd Party Apps (Tasker, Widgetsoid, Llam, basically any app that toggles settings) not being able to turn WiFi off, IF they are used to turn it on then turning it off inside settings will not automatically turn Wifi back on as it should.
If you turn HotSpot on via the Moto HotSpot settings then turning it off will automatically cause wifi to turn back on.
Hoping Moto fixes this issue and allows full toggling of HotSpot via 3rd Party apps as this is really killing my automated in-car hotspot.
Not rooted pixel xl. I understand that hotspot toggle won't work without device being rooted and that's OK.
Now that being said, while hotspot is "on" and wifi is toggled "on" from tile drawer - it kills hotspot, however only when is done manually.
is there a way to forcefully toggle wifi trough tasker (for instance based upon geolocation) on thus killing hotpot automatically ?
thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Settings->Wireless&networks->WLAN and turn off the WLAN+
Or the wifi scanning under
Security & Privacy > Location services > menu in upper right corner > scan settings
