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.

I have problem with WiFi on my new RAZR i.
It is working fine for one or two days. After that I'm getting strange behavior.
When I turn on the WiFi, phone connects to WiFi network but after I while WiFi connection is lost and after that it is unable to find any network.
Turning airplane mode on and off sometimes helps. Reboot of the phone (shutdown and power on) always helps.
What can it be? Hardware? Application? Bug in 4.1.2?
Hi.
Is this on just one wifi device (home?) or you see this behavior everytime (mean everywhere) you use wifi? There is sometimes some strange uncompatibity issue between devices. I have HUGE problems with Belkin and TP link, while Airlive (Ovislink) products work stable with my Razr i.
I see that every time (mean everywhere) when I use WiFi. I have removed WiFi manager and Skype and now it is working fine. I'll test it a little bit longer to be 100% sure.
After that I will install WiFi manager and Skype once more to pinpoint the problem.
Have you gone into your WiFi and gone into advanced and unchecked avoid poor connections? That was causing me a major problem because my phone almost had a choice in whether to connect.

Hello.
I've an XT1058, which was running 4.4.4 retail argentina, then got the ota for 5.1 ...
I noticed battery life was impacted, thus I flashed the full 5.1 firmware from scratch, just to be sure...
Battery didn't get any better...
After days and days of testing, I found that my issue is that LP does not deactivate the mobile radio while being connected to a wifi network...
That's just killing my stand by time on wifi, which oddly enough does not affect the phone while actually using mobile network...
So I'm currently having better battery life while on mobile data than a healthy wifi connection...
All because mobie radio keeps active all the time while on wifi...
I managed to partially fix this bug, but it does not always work...
It basically is to play with airplane mode, deactivate mobile data, and connecting to wifi...
All that, just mixing the order and crossing your fingers... Some times it works, some times it does not...
Airplane mode does not work either, since while activated, you can actually see that "radio active" under "idle device" keeps adding seconds...
And battery life is less...
Any ideas ?
I believe this is being addressed in M, but I do not thing XT1058 will get it...
I'm seriously considering downgrading to 4.4.4 because of this...
My phone is 100% stock, no unlock bootloader or root...
And yet, it's less usable than a few weeks ago...
Thank you.
I've managed to mitigate the issue by disabling mobile data before connecting to a WiFi... Also, this does not always work... But i am now able to control it a bit...

Hi, I'm new here so forgive me if I do something wrong^^
First of all, I have a Moto G 2014, Dual Sim which is running on 5.1.1, to be more specific, this ROM. I was using this ROM for about 4 months already so that shouldn't be the issue. My problem is that after my phone connects to the internet, usually using H+. The connection to the internet is working perfectly fine, but after a while of not using the phone it loses the connection. It still tells me that it got a strong H+ connection, but nothing (browser, apps, anything) is able to connect to the internet. Enabling & disabling airplane mode usually fixes the problem. From time to time it also happens, usually when I lost some sort of wifi connection (regardless if I disabled wifi or I got out of range) it happens that it shows full connectivity but with an exclamation mark. This only goes away if I reboot or enable & disable airplane mode again.
Is this issue known/is there any solution to
I have been experiencing the exact same thing as of lately. I thought it was a byproduct of downgrading from (Stock) Marshmallow to (Stock) Lollipop (yes! it's happening even on stock ROM) where at times the WiFi losses connectivity when the phone had been sleeping for awhile...even though I have the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option on under WiFi's advanced settings. I had no idea that it also happens with data connections ! ...as I don't use it (too expensive for me), now I'm uncertain what could be the cause. I can see how this would be an inconvenience if you use a lot of social media apps as I sometimes do not get my WhatsApp messages when this happens and sometimes I don't even receive my Hangouts messages until I open the app manually.
It's strange, at times when my phone sleeps for awhile and it losses connectivity and I wake it, it will reconnect just fine and other times it just goes into this state where it reconnects with full signal strength but with an exclamation mark next to the WiFi icon in the notification bar. When this happens, no matter what I try it stays in this state, I tried turning off WiFi and turning it back on, also forgetting the network and entering the info and reconnecting to it but none of that works. I didn't know that turning on and off airplane mode can help....I'll have to try that one, rebooting the phone was the only solution I found which is just inconvenient and somewhat annoying.
I too, am interested in a proper solution. I don't know why the phone ignores the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option or why at times it connects but have not internet access! It should be noted that it's not a problem with the network, It's not due to an incorrect password or anything like that as I am the one that administers those things and when it happens other WiFi devices such as my Tablet PC, Laptop etc can connect and access the internet just fine and it only happens sometimes on the phone (Moto G 2014). This doesn't seem to happen in Marshmallow...but I hate Marshmallow and I can't remember having this issue on Lollipop post Marshmallow update (how I wish I had never tried out Marshmallow!!!), which is why I thought it was related to downgrading, .......did you downgrade ?
Even if I have selected the wifi to NEVER be active during sleep, whenever I have unlocked my phone from sleep the wifi is always on?? (wifi scannng is off in location settings, and locate the device remotely in Google settings is also off), I have tried to reset network settings, I have even reset the whole device (XT1097 on stock 6.0.1) but the issue remains... any ideas on how to fix this.
AFAIK, there is no stock 6.0.1 for any X (2014). This may explain lots of views and no answer.
Are you sure everything is correct?
Could a rogue carrier app be changing settings?
sorry 6.0 not 6.0.1, my fault, will check to see if tere are any rogue apps but have checked with better battery stats and wakelock detector but neither show anything, except for the fact that wifi is on ALL the time...
Check your location settings as well.
Even though I have disabled this feature in advanced wi-fi menu as soon as there are new wi-fi connection avaialble and my 4g is on phone keeps on working hard to find new wi-fi.
Wi-fi toggle is on. I don't have the same problem on my Moto G 3 gen. Do you guys have the same problem? Or I miss something here? Thanks
