I know this has been discussed about before. I have tried all of the other solutions, except a Factory Reset which i do not want to do. I do not have WiFi always scanning enabled. But i do have Location set to Battery Saving and Location Reporting enabled. I never had this problem until yesterday. My phone never sleeps and gets really hot because of the constant awake time. I did not install any new application. Google Play Services updated to 7.x. But i doubt that is the problem. The issue goes away if i switch to LTE only. I'm on stock 5.0 and I'm not rooted so i cannot drill down to see what exactly is eating my battery. Any help is appreciated.
Just an update. This seems to happen only on my Work Wi-fi which is not password protected. It does not happen on my home wifi or any other public access points. Any help is appreciated.
Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
It will show you the other wifi connections using the same channel and if there are many connections, the phone will struggle more to get hold of a good signal though it shows that it has excellent range.

Out of curiosity, have you posted the same thing on Moto Owners forums too?

Thanks for the reply I have read the same problem been posted on Moto Owners Forum, but it wasn't me
I did install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm&hl=en and found that it was Google Backup Transport that was continuously keeping wifi on by downloading something. It does not happen with any other wifi network. I even switched off Backup & Restore. But this does not help.
I know there is no configuration problem in the router, because my Nexus 7 2013 works just fine on Wifi.
Ok..if you have access to the modem settings, try changing IPV6 to IPV4 in the settings.

Unfortunately i do not have access to the modem settings as it is my work Wifi. However, my phone worked fine on the same Network with same settings few days back. Don't know what is wrong with the phone. I don't want to factory reset yet

If I have both on I can't acess the internet the 3g+ is constantly on as if fetching data but nothing online works.. If I turn off cellular data everything works via WiFi and same goes of I turn WiFi off, cellular data works well..
I had thisproblem with stock 8107, but I flashed DFT ROM to my phone and it's working fine now... maybe you should try it
Same here with mi7-rom. Anyone else?
This thread shouldn't have been made in this Dev section. You already have a thread in General for this.
Disable ADC
delete the following reg keys
hklm/comm/wwan1-(Service Provider)
you may have more than 1 entry, delete them all.
power off the phone to ensure the reg is saved, power on and restart the phone.
This may also help those who are unable to connect with wifi and 3g on at the same time..
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------
if you are still having issues try swapping the sim over to one of a different service provider, even if it doesn't work.
I did that, but now my data connection doesn't work at all. I have a 3G+ connection (Vodafone Netherlands), but none of the webpages actually load.
I've tried rerunning the Samsung Network Profile app (and lost my favourites in the process, great work Samsung ) but that doesn't help either.
Here are the setting I used to get tethering working. I believe most if not all of these are the same setting that were used to get tethering working again on the EVO LTE after the 4.3 update.
App = WiFi Tether Router(I think it was roughly $2 in the Play Store)
Interface = wlan0
Method = 3-HostApd
No Firmware Reload is Not Checked
Drivers = nl80211
Wi-Fi Mode = I'm using WiFi - N
ApType = ad-hoc
Keep Screen ON is Not Checked
Prevents Stand-By Is Checked
MTU Adjust is Not Checked
HostApd Patch Is Checked
Power Transmit Mgmt Is Checked
In Addition if you click on Advanced WiFi settings you need to uncheck "Scanning Always Available"
I don't think I messed with anything else. And Obviously some of the options are under the users discretion.
I'm going to try to get TreveMod's version of WiFi tether working also. If I have any luck I'll post those settings also.
Works perfectly!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

does this give free wifi tether or do you have to pay for the plan already?

AlsoFoxFIworks good too (only over usb), it requires you to install their desktop program to make it work. I've tested WiFi Tether Router and FoxFi, FoxFi is less*convenient*but offers a higher internet speed, and vice versa for tether router

I used to use FoxFi but with older HTCs it had lots of issues so I gave it up. Speed wise I haven't noticed any draw backs. I had up to 20mb down on my iPad from tethering on LTE.

As a note on the settings, with this app if you set it to WPA2 the devices connect to the phone using WPA, and if you set it to WPA devices connect to it using WPA2.
Lol I never thought to look at that.

Did you try changing the wifi channel on the app? I usually don't leave it on 1 but my laptop doesn't seem to want to connect to anything but channel 1.
Also, how are everyone's speeds on this thing? Im testing 28 megs on the phone itself but on my devices are all at 2 megs. Seems similiar to oldschool wifi tether for root user where for some reason it wasn't tethering at full speed.

I'm getting roughly 5mb down and up on my Surface Pro while my M8 is pulling roughly 7mb up and down so I am seeing some speed loss but not as much as you are.
As for the channel you should try to run channel 6 or 11 since that is the standard channels that your average router runs at. Try both, one or the other may work better depending on the amount of interference in your home due to microwaves, portable phones, and other routers in the vicinity.
Worked for me. $2.50 well spent.
For some reason it kept freezing up everytime I tried to "Start WiFi Router," but after applying your settings (from OP), it actually works (after briefly acting frozen). Thanks!
(Using BadSeed 2.0 ROM on M8)
App locked up out of the box, however once I applied the recommend settings from the op seems to work no problem. I hardly ever use tether but if I am ever in a pinch it's nice to have set up. I also liked supporting good apps anyway. $2.50 well spent thanks for the suggestion op.
Just glad to save people from some of the frustrations I went through with tethering.

Works great with OP settings. Actually seems to work better than any of the native tether hacks I've had since JB. Worked all day Friday with my surface pro2 and this setup and not one single issue! Well worth the money and the widget works well too! Thanks!
I can turn on wifi hotspot in settings and connect with other devices, but they can't actually connect to the internet. I've tried moto tether in xposed, wifi tether router(with the mooto x specific settings in the app guide), foxfi, and a plethora of other generically named wifi tether apps. Nothing I try is working. My Moto X has an unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery, stock rooted 4.4.2 and I am using straight talk (runs on AT&T's network). This problem has plagued me since I got the phone and I can't seem to find any solution that actually works. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

I had a similar issue with wifi and it was ultimately resolved by SBFing back to stock, re-trying, and it worked like a charm. You can read the whole thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/solved-republic-wireless-unlocked-t2755730
While we never did figure out what the issue was (because my device was completely stock, other than flashing SuperSU/TWRP), but now it works great. I'm using the WiFi Tether for root users...download link is in the thread I linked above. I know its a bit of a pain to have to reinstall your apps, etc, but it was worth it to me.
Good Luck

As the title says, I manually updated using the 5.1 factory image and since have been unae to connect to my home WiFi. I have full signal strength and the pesky exclamation mark beside it.
I've done some reading and found some simple solutions that seem arbitrary but worth trying (forgetting network, adding a DNS number, changing WiFi frequency from automatic to a specified) and have had no luck.
I'm not opposed to factory resetting or flashing fresh I was just curious if anyone had any ideas other than mentioned above. The router has been reset and I've triple checked all the settings. My chromecasts and tablet connect no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just a thought, try flashing the 95 radio in LMY47D, replace the 98 radio in LMY47E. Its worth a try and won't do any damage.
It seems your connected to WiFi just don't have any home internet, does it work on other devices or wired pc

I'm not sure what settings I should be looking at. I just leave it as default that is to use wifi calling when connected to wifi network. Is there any particular setting that I need to be aware of?

If you have the auto switch then if u in a spot with 2 good services it might go back and forth. Will cause issues.. When u turn on WiFi calling which connection did you choose. Where are you calling on WiFi from home or out and about

I chose the first one which favors wifi calling if not, it will fall back to cell tower. And it's my home wifi. Wifi calling doesn't seem to work at my work place, it keeps saying connection error (red notification on notification pull down)
Well to start call Tmobile and make sure the issue is not on their side.. They might send you a new sim card.. Then take of the auto switch on WiFi and see if you good

I ran into a similar problem with Wifi-Calling at which I can hear voice from the other end but they cannot hear me. Problem was solved when I disable WAN and LAN ipv6 and default back to ipv4. Seems like Wifi-calling does not like ipv6 protocol at the moment.
Try running ur apn like mine.. Never have any issues
