[Q] Location Based WIFI not working

Hi guys, I got a short question:
Does the location based wifi require the "google location services" from "location services" settings enabled? currently, both boxes I left unticked there, since I don´t want google to know my location
I tried the location based wifi a few times now, but it doesn´t work. Actually it shall work with just knowing which mobile signal the station belongs to I´m currently using..
but so far, wifi remains on when I turn it on and go out and remains off when I come close to my home-network.
also there doesn´t appear a symbol in statusbar.
I´m on existenz 3.3.0, would like to try it out since it shall save a lot of battery
thanks in advance

Anyone?
Now I'm on stock 205, not seems to work either

I've used it for a lot of time and it was working for me. When I was in Stamina Mode it was working worse (the switch on-off was slower), but without stamina it was working great

It was working fine for me with unticked google location services, it shouldnt have any problems with that cause its Sony rom based function. But it isnt instant especially with stamina mode on. It needs some time to understand it shouldve turned on

So now I cleared data, removed all networks from location based wifi and turned off stamina.
I´m wondering wether greenify keeps it from working properly.
Is there a sign in notification bar if location based wifi is turned on or off?
Thanks for the replies so far

[Q] Moto X Wifi Won't Turn Off??

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.

Have you tried factory reset? That is NOT normal...

I'm trying to save that as a last resort....

I got the fix.
Battery saver enables this problem. Need to go to location. Click on mode.and switch to device only. Walahh.

i could be wrong but i remember seeing a option on my moto x asking if google can find wifi even if its turned off, maybe its not even turned off and is just finding you all the wifi signals? i could be wrong and sorry if we already talked about this for i skimmed the thread.

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.

[Q] WiFi won't list nearby networks, But WiFi works

Hello everyone! This is my first post. I've learned a lot on the forums and I decided I would make an account today.
I've attached a few pictures of what is going on:
So I've had this problem off and on. So when I go to select my wifi networks in settings on my Nexus 6, it will show a blank list and it will say "wifi turning on". When I go to the notification pull down tab and see the wifi networks there, it shows up the list just fine! The only way I've been able to connect to wifi is if I download the app "WiFi analyzer" which will show all networks fine. So I know my WiFi works just fine, but for some reason in my WiFi settings, it doesn't show the list of available networks. I've factory resetted the device 3 times and that will fix it for a few days. Then it just has the same problem again.
I've already tried going to data/misc/wifi/wifi_supplicant.conf and erasing that and then rebooting the phone. I don't think it's a hardware problem, because this is my 2nd Nexus 6 and they have both done the same thing. Maybe a software bug? I've also booted into safe mode and it has the same problem where the wifi networks won't show up.
Some information:
Nexus 6
Rooted
Android L 5.1
Build Number LMY47M
Any help would be appreciated! My wifi works, but it's just bugging me that I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't want to factory reset my phone agian.

I stumbled across your thread while searching for a solution to a nearly identical issue on Marshmallow: notifications for open wifi APs would pop up, the pull-down status bar WiFi icon would list available nearby networks, but clicking on one would advance to the network setup screen that listed no APs. WiFi analyzer apps would list all the nearby networks with no problem. Your screenshots are essentially the same as everything looks in Android 6.0.1.
In my case, the problem was that I had used AppOpsXposed to block the Location permission from the Settings app. In AppOps, "Location" includes "Wi-Fi scan"; thus, the Settings app was denied permission to receive WiFi scan results and therefore listed no networks. There was no indication of this suppression that I could find in logcat, so it took me quite some time to determine the cause.
So, yes, it was my own damn fault.
In your case I doubt this particular problem was the issue because you were factory-resetting to no avail. However, I decided to necro your thread in case this happens to help someone else.

xt1068 [6.0] WiFi is not turning OFF

I have Moto G 2nd gen (xt 1068) running on official Android Marshmallow 6.0. My phone is not rooted nor I have installed any custom ROM.
The problem with my device is, it's battery statistics shows that WiFi is ON even if I turn it off from phone settings and also from scanning settings.
I think this 'always ON' WiFi is also draining my phone battery.
Idk if there's any app who is using WiFi or not and if yes then Idk how to know which app is it.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
ps. I barely use WiFi for internet access, I prefer mobile internet.

A wifi conundrum (unsolved)

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.

Do you actually wait for wifi to connect?
Does your phone do the low power screen off wifi thingy?

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!

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.

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
