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.

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.
Edit : I'm talking about wifi signal

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
Battery life is pretty good for me, but wondering, as wifi is high on the list, if anyone finds decreasing scanning interval to be significantly helpful, I would think it would?
Thanks

I noticed a slight improvement with WiFi Scanning switched off. I always leave it off now as I don't feel like I need to use it.

Thanks, I don't need it to scan, I only use it at home. I didn't realize there was that option -under "scanning always available" I have it unchecked, I guess that's the same as having scanning off??
Thank you
Edit: I'm guessing that doesn't turn off scanning, as when I look at the available networks list, I see it refreshing.
How do you turn off scanning? Is there a setting, or only with editing the build.prop?
Thanks
You might want to uncheck 'Network notification' in the wifi advanced settings. Probably no need to look for open networks constantly when you can look for one when you need one.

I have that unchecked as well, thanks.
Wondering if there is a way to not have it scan at all, or is the only option to decrease the scanning interval by editing the build prop line??
Thanks for any and all help with this
Is my wifi scanning off then if "scanning always available" is unchecked?
I see it refreshing when I look at the list, but I read it could be when you're in wifi settings it scans, even though you've set it off?
If anyone has more familiarity with wifi scanning, disabling it, would greatly appreciate it
Thanks!
I noticed that after disabling/turning off Wifi, it still stays on and consumes battery, although Wifi icon shows switched off in notification and settings section. Restarting phone helps and WiFi finally switches off, however I do not want to restart phone every time when I want to switch off WiFi.
Does anyone have this problem and how ro resolve it?
My phone is in latest version on android 5.1.1 and on previous version I did not have such problems.
A factory reset might help

Thanks, but I would rather keep factory reset as a final option.
Any other suggestions?

Maybe wifi is configured to search for networks even if "turned off". Changing that might help

Sorry for silly question, how to configure WiFi to stop searching for network if it's turned off?
Thanks.
Go to settings - wifi - 3dot menu advanced.

I am using havoc v2.9 in redmi 4x.
Wifi is always auto turned off after screen is turned off.
It is not turned off immediately but it will be after a moment. If I turn on screen, wifi is back.
Therefore, I can not download file if screen is off. It will be stopped.
Anyone know how to keep wifi is always on?
Are you using battery saver?

Sorry for late reply, Yes this i was talking and also the settings which are available in settings > havoc settings > battery savings. under suspended actions there is option to switch to 2G when screen is off (not sure if it is causing the issue) try to turn off that.
i have one issue that when i move out of saved Wi-Fi network and comes back to to same network, the Wi-Fi does not get connected automatically until i wake the device and this happens to all my saved Wi-Fi networks. (Wi-Fi is always turned on my device in day time, it is off in night or when not needed)
it should connect Wi-Fi automatically to saved Wi-Fi network(s) when i have not turned off Wi-Fi from my device before going out of the range of Wi-Fi and later coming back to same Wi-Fi network.
rather than this i do not face any issue with connecting Wi-Fi once i connect to it, even after locking the device or restarting the device.
it only does not get connected automatically when getting out of the range and coming back. it requires to wake the device once and it remains connected until i am in the range. after that i must need to wake device just once to connect.

Oh, I see
Maybe I went out of Wi-fi range and then I came back, the Wi-Fi did not get connected automatically.
hope that android 10 do not have this issue
Thank you for your help
Hi,
After a while, as soon as I am out of wifi coverage, the wifi turn off itself without me doing anything.
Once back under wifi coverage if I must think to reactivate wifi else I needlessly consume my mobile DATA ...
What to do?
Thank
Some android apps causing this issue ! Find it and remove it.
Hi, I would suggest to remove your WiFi connection from your phone, restart it twice and reinstall it, including network name and password. Maybe that will solve your problem. Regards, kuzibri
Do you have this option enabled?

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm always forgetting to turn it back on, and using loads of mobile data.
This problem might casusing due to some application which is conflecting with wifi settings. advice to re install the applications and then test. Factory reset can be done after this step. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. But these solutions seem to be for a different issue, they have the WiFi randomly disconnecting. The issue I have, is the WiFi turning off, as in the WiFi toggle is turned off, it connects fine and is stable when in range. But when I leave range the toggle changes to off. I'd a assume it's either a bug, or a battery saving feature, but regardless I don't want to have to toggle the WiFi back on everytime I come into range of my WiFi.
