My WiFi was working fine the entire day, until I took a nap. When I woke up the WiFi started to turn on and off constantly. I tried messing with the WiFi settings, but it did nothing. I tried restarting the phone a few times, but then it started to boot loop a couple times and eventually it fully booted. I tried restarting my router, but it did nothing. I still have to install the August Security Patch, maybe that will fix it? I have also tried forgetting my WiFi networks.
Anyone run into this issue or have some tips on what to do?
I am running stock, not rooted, 6.0.1, with July Security Patch.

Go into "Settings", then select "Storage & USB", then select "Apps". Proceed down the page until you locate "Google Connectivity Services". When you open the storage details for the app, select the information icon (lowercase "i" with a circle around it) located near the top/upper-right section of the screen; where it displays "Google Connectivity Services". From there, It'll load the "app info" page. Located at the top-right corner of the screen, select the Image Button icon (the three dots going vertically) and uninstall the updates for the app. It will ask if you want to replace the app with the factory image, select "OK". When the updates are uninstalled, open up the Play Store and navigate to "My Apps & Games". If all of the apps that you have downloaded on your phone are up-to-date, the first app indicating that it needs an update will be "Google Connectivity Services". Reinstall the updates for the app and that should resolve the issue. When I executed this method for my Nexus it stopped disconnecting spontaneously. I hope this method works for you, as well. Let me know if you experience any further issues. Take care, dude.

Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!
Do you check virus from your phone ?
I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.
Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.
I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.
It doesn't matter how many times I turn the wifi off on my nexus 6, it seems something keeps turning it back on. Im not sure how long it will take to turn back on, but I will look at my phone and notice that its back on again. It also doesn't matter what wireless AP I am by.
Is there a way to see what app, or whatever, is turning it on so that when I disable wifi, it's actually disabled until I change it otherwise?
I've been having something similar, coupled with my wifi disconnecting and reconnecting in a loop every thirty seconds. I'll notice my wifi looping like this, so I'll turn wifi off, only to have it turn back on by itself within ten seconds and start looping again. Really strange. This began about two days ago out of the blue. I haven't been able to pin it down to anything.
I'm running stock 6.0.1, Jan 2016 OTA.

Just wanted to follow up so you could check if this applies in your situation.
I finally found the culprit! I decided to reboot into Safe Mode to disable all third party apps and see if it still happened. When in Safe Mode the wifi was rock solid! That told me it was some app causing my problems. So I uninstalled several apps to try to narrow it down, especially those that had been updated recently and rebooted normally. It still looped the wifi.
After banging my head against the wall, I decided to go to developer options, show running processes, and see what apps were running that could be messing with the wifi. The normal apps you would expect to be running were listed, plus the MyAccount app from StraightTalk.
Why the heck would that app be running a process? I opened the ST app and looked through it's options. Low and behold was a section called wifi management. Holy crap, this could be it! I look in that section, and it was set to manage my wifi and connect and disconnect when sufficient access points are nearby. I turned that off, closed that app, and verified in Running Processes that it was indeed gone. It was, and my wifi has been solid ever since.
Stupid, stupid app!
OH MY GOD. This has been driving me nuts. Thank you so much!
I'm very recently (1 week or 2 max) facing issues with GPS/Geolocation on my Nexus 6. Any app requiring location, GMaps, Uber, what-have-you, does not detect my current location. GMaps shows a toast, Waiting for location. Other apps error out or keep waiting.
I can't be sure but the issue definitely started sometime around the time after I installed the Feb updates.
Now some weird observations :
1. All of a sudden, one in maybe 20 times, it stays working.
2. Again, all of a sudden, it promotes to recalibrate the compass and it starts working.
3. It stops working again after subsequently relaunching GMaps.
4. Works in Safe Mode! But I Uninstalled most of recently installed apps (I don't have a lot) yet doesn't work, so not sure if it's a 3rd party app causing this.
5. Installed some so-called GPS Fixing apps, they themselves are stuck at locating.
Anybody else ?
Anything to try?
Yes I'll do a factory reset or service replacement if nothing works so please avoid such suggestions.
I was having the same issues after Feb. Update phone locking up and freezing randomly unable to get geolocation on battery saving. I redownloaded the newest from Google and reflashed system image and radiio and bam performance back along with location.
Long story shkrt, probably a bad download

Thanks.
Bad download over OTA?
"reflashed system image and radiio"
I don't have a working system image backed up.
And reflashed radio? I didn't get that part...
Google system image
Start from the beginning. Back a few weeks ago, when 4.1.5 was leaked but not officially announced, I downloaded 4.1.5 and flashed it through TWRP. Then 4.1.6 was released officially right after I've done my upgrading. So I CLEAN FLASHED 4.1.6 again on my phone.
Now the weird part: after 2 days of normal use (no flashing, no new apps installed), I left my phone charging today while went asleep. After I woke up, my phone is at 15% of battery. Although connect to the DASH charger, the phone doesn't charge at all with its LED showing red.
More weird is I can't open the notification center. I can pull the 5 toggles down, but can't open the whole menu.
Plus, notifications don't show up (no toast notification, no icons while in the homepage either).
My access to developer options is also blocked (says "Developer options is not available to this user").
The home button, recent apps button DOESN'T work - no matter if u switch the buttons in settings, or toggle the on-screen soft buttons. Although the "return" button and the fingerprint sensor DOES work.
Root access is still there (using Magisk).
While using TitaniumBackup, the app warns "This device's Android ID has changed". And a few apps have logged themselves out (I guess because of the ID change).
I think I can solve the problem by simply factory reset it. But Questions is : what's going on with my phone?
Its a common, not so common issue. I had exactly that same issue twice on two different fones. My old xperia L and my oneplus one. In my particular case, this was triggered when my settings were automatically restored from my google account (apps auto download, wifi settings, display settings etc.) After a factory reset.
After this, android id "crashes" showing that it has been changed, and statusbar only allows one pull down, along with the others bugs you described.
You should not allow google account to restore your settings (or at least that worked out for me) and restore manually your data. (Especially your display settings).
Hope it helps, i thought i was the only one.

Wow! I can't image someone had the same issue. So i actually re-flashed 4.1.6 and it's working.
But the charging problem persists. I've tried multiple power sources from the room, the kitchen, etc. None seem to be working.
Strangely, I was able to charge the device once a few hours ago at evening. And then it stopped charging again after I got the system working.
Any idea?
It's been months of on and off again trying to figure this out, still no luck.
I'm running the latest version of Lineage OS.
I'm running the latest download of OpenGAPPs
I'm using a cable that works with my wife's stock moto x4, but does not with mine.
When I connect my phone, I assume android auto tries to start, black screen, then crash back to launcher. My head unit displays "unsupported device"
When i pull down the shade to select a different usb mode, it always reverts back to "no data transfer". Clicking on anything will move the dot, then immediately go back to "no data transfer"
I've tried several troubleshooting guides, I've cleared data and cache for AA, Google, and Play Services.
I'm open to all suggestions.

I thought that was a known Lineage bug. I could never get Android Auto working on Lineage, so I rolled back to stock.

Interesting. I knew it was an issue for me. not much other talk about it over on reddit for this phone (that i could find). what little i did find was to the tune of "open gapps was messed up from x to y, try installing an updated gapps after y." and that took months for me to do because for the longest time lineage's recovery was messed up, so i figured i'd just check back every now and then. Finally realized recovery was working and here i am. guess I'll go back to stock. Thanks.
Android Auto appears to be working flawlessly after May update of Pixel Experience 10 rom.
