So the other day I noticed strange text in the wifi settings menu. This text is visible in both the mini menu accessed through clicking on the name of the currently connected wifi network on the wifi toggle in the notification menu, as well as in the full settings menu. Please see screenshot attached. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Not a huge issue, but a little annoying and I'd love to make this stuff go away.
What is the text you say is strange? The picture shows the network you are connected to, and a list of all the networks detected, so, what is the problem?
I think he means the text after his active wifi connection. Have a look in settings > developer options > wi-if verbose logging, if it’s on turn it off.
That did the trick! No idea how wifi verbose logging got turned on, but everything is back to normal now. Thank you!
It is in developer settings option. You must activated more detailed ssid option.

Thats detailed wifi signal info. You must have turned it on in developer options.
I believe those are the mac address of each WiFi Access Point that is available within the WiFi reception range of your device.

When I am at home my Diamond always uses/turns on the Gprs and uses that rather than my Wi-fi connection.
I have changed all the settings and even turned data connections off but it still does it.
Anyone have a way to permanently turn it off ?
Thanks

have a look at modaco "no data" :
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/
To disable it without extra software I do the following:
Go to Start-> Settings -> Connections.
Open the 'Connections' icon.
Go to Advanced and then 'Select Networks'
For both dropdown boxes click 'New...' and fill in some bogus name and phone number and click OK.
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!
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.
I have the z3+ plus dual, before and after the update, I get an exclamation mark with the wifi signal, however, I've been reading that this means I have no access to internet but I am connected to the modem.
This is not true, I have the internet conection, I get everything with both SIMs turned off, but the exclamation continues there, I shut the wifi off and on and it goes away for 10 minutes and then the mark is there again.
This is no real issue, it's just annoying to see the mark,
Has anybody had this happened? Did you resolve it?
Help appreciated in advance.
Yes, I see it, too. Most time of the day.
Yes, my Wifi still works as it should.
No, I have no solution for that, yet.

Go to Setting > WiFi > Advance > Set Frequency to 2.4GHz
If nothing found in settings then change ur router settings if it support dual band
just change name of 5GHz Freq SSID to something else.
the issue is related to lollipop bug not for xperia
Go to settings > WiFi > press and hold the connection you have issue with > modify network > tick advanced options > IP Settings drop down > select Static > enter the IP address you want, gateway (your routers IP address), DNS1 and DNS2 (find them in google). Network prefix length was set to 24 on mine and I left it like that, I can now connect to my home WiFi with no problem. more

:good:
Using a Nexus 6 with NP5.
I frequently walk in and out of Wi-Fi range near my home. The Wi-Fi signal gets weak, and data communications start to suck. If I turn off Wi-Fi the phone switches to LTE and everything is fine.
There is an option in Developer options labeled "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handover." If I enable this option my data connection remains stable because as the Wi-Fi gets weak the phone switches to LTE sooner.
The difficulty is that this setting reverts to "Off" every time the phone reboots.
I have recently started using Tasker and have another task that runs a shell command on boot. That task is working great.
I am trying now to figure out how to change this setting for aggressive cell handover in dev options using a tasker task that I can assign to the same Device Boot event and I am running into difficulty. I simply do not see how to flip this device setting toggle within a tasker task.
Am I missing something? This seems like it would be a simple thing to do, straightforward, and the type of thing Tasker is designed for, but my noob-ness is showing.
I go to Tasks, add a task, name it, add an action, select Settings, but I don't see anything matching "Developer options." If I go to "All Settings" i just get a prompt to enter a variable name. I have no idea what to type to select the variable represented by the "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handover" toggle option, or if its range is 0/1, true/false, whatever.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
