Since the My T-Mobile app updated to work with Android 6.0 I've noticed the option to turn off wifi assistance was removed. So now my phone is constantly starting wifi no matter what. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

I'm rooted and S-off with only the last OTA before Android 4.4.2, and since then my wifi will turn itself on even though I have my network notification turned off in wifi settings. This happens even though I have Battery Guru managing my wifi. Only started happening after root.
Also, I experience random network drops every once in a while. It will happen when I'm on wifi, but seems to happen more when I'm on the road.
Any ideas? Is there an application I can run that may fix issues like this?
I keep getting errors like in the following image. Sometimes it's only one number, sometimes it's 2.

Just got my S6 yesterday. I noticed that if WiFi is on but not connected and if there is an unsecured WiFi my phone will try to automatically connect to it and then start a bootloop process. If I park near a McDonalds or in a neighborhood it happens. Everything is fine with WiFi off. There is a minute before the WiFi auto connects and I can turn the WiFi off and that is the only way to stop the loops.
Any thoughts?
Based on how new the phone is, I'd have AT&T replace it with a new unit now and see if it's still happening. There's no excuse for that to happen on brand new hardware, but maybe it is a design flaw... confirm it with a replacement.
Did you Disable some Wifi / Hotspot / Smart WiFi related stock app?
There is an option in the WiFi settings about auto-connecting, you might try turning it off. My guess is you have "Auto Connect to AT&T Hotspots" turned on, but the Smart WiFi / Hotspot application disabled, so it is failing.
Yeah I tried turning all the att auto connect off and google location scans. I also factory restored it.
Can someone with an att varient try it and let me know? I don't want a hassle to return it if it's a software error on other units too.
I was googling around and found this thread, I am having the EXACT same problem with my AT&T S6
Anyone having problems with WiFi on stock ROM lately? Every so often the WiFi shuts off completely and can't be enabled again until restarting the watch. I have tried manually switching it back on in Settings but it remains stuck in Off mode. Factory reset it, cleared the Android Wear app and everything but it still gets this problem. It was perfectly fine for about a month or two after the WiFi update was pushed.

Happens on occasion to me too, but no idea why.

Same issue here.
I have a similar problem with trying to keep WIFI on. I have to turn off Bluetooth using the Advanced Settings app (root not required) to make WIFI connect. If you don't want to use the app, try turning off bluetooth on your phone to see if WIFI will connect. I think the watch prioritizes bluetooth connection.

Edit: I turned off bluetooth on my phone and the watch's WIFI connection stays on.
Hay guys,
I am really at a loss, so I hope you can help me here.
WiFi on my phone works totally fine until I install the EMUI Update 10.0.0.185 (and later).
From that point on, I can't use my WiFi at all. The Phone is still showing me a list of all the available Networks, but If I want to connect to one of these, the phone's WiFi turns off by itself. Just du turn itself on again a few seconds later... and turning off again eventually.
This happens to all of the WiFi networks, I've tried. Also I can't setup a WiFi hotspot anymore or use wireless display feature.
If I reset my phone to the EMUI-Version it came with, everything works flawless.
Any idea, what could cause the problem?
My XQ-AT52 (dual sim HK) became unusable after recent 58.1.A.5.441 update. Wifi constantly connects - disconnects every few seconds, and after several tries, it gives up then nothing would show up in wifi list. Tried airplane mode/reboot/factory reset/software repair and no luck.
After hours of desperately poking around settings and google, a weird workaround was found: turn on hotspot first, then connect wifi like usual. It keeps connected and fully working until the second hotspot gets turned off. I guess maybe an overly aggressive battery-saving rule was introduced in the update, wrongfully shuts down normal wifi connections and got overridden by hotspot. But I can't find any proof in logcat.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update.
Edit:
Upgrade to 58.1.5.474 did NOT fix this problem.
Upgrade to 58.1.5.530 and problem fixed.
I'm having a related issue with Xperia 5 II (XQ-AS52 Dual), seemingly since the same update 58.1.A.5.441.
For me the problem is that 5GHz networks work fine for around one day, then they get disconnected for no apparent reason. At this point, 5GHz networks won't show up in the list of Wifi networks until I restart the phone. Then I can see and connect to 5GHz again but the same problem re-occurs after around one day. Really annoying !
No issue though with the 2.4GHz networks apparently.
I wanted to downgrade to the previous firmware to confirm my suspicion, but can't find it on the web for my region (EU).
