Both my wife and I have the same problem: when we are away from home, and thus no WiFi reception, WiFi turns itself off. So when we come home we have to turn it on manually.
Both on miui 12.5 and not changed any WiFi settings. I've checked WiFi assistant and “turn on WiFi automatically" is turned off.
Any clues?

So I'm a big Tasker user and I use a 7" Android Tablet in my car as my "infotainment system." I have a Tasker profile that when connected to my Car's Bluetooth, turns on Wifi Hotspot and upon disconnection, turns off Wifi hotspot. I noticed that HotSpot was turning on without a problem, but not turning off.
I also have a Widget Button to toggle WiFi Hotspot on/off. Again, it will turn it on, but it doesn't turn it off. As a test, I also used the app Llama and added an action to turn Wifi Hotspot on and another to turn it off. Again, it was able to turn it on with no problem, but when trying to execute the "off" it gave me the error message "WiFiAccessPoint may not be supported by your phone."
This is really annoying since the only other way to turn it off is to go into phone settings, then More, then Wifi Hotspot, then untick "Hotspot" to turn it off.
Besides wondering if this is working on anyone else's phone, I'm wondering if anyone knows where to write or post such bugs for the Moto programmers to see...
FYI - So I found another bug related to this same issue. Besides 3rd Party Apps (Tasker, Widgetsoid, Llam, basically any app that toggles settings) not being able to turn WiFi off, IF they are used to turn it on then turning it off inside settings will not automatically turn Wifi back on as it should.
If you turn HotSpot on via the Moto HotSpot settings then turning it off will automatically cause wifi to turn back on.
Hoping Moto fixes this issue and allows full toggling of HotSpot via 3rd Party apps as this is really killing my automated in-car hotspot.
Curious if anyone else has this problem - 32gb GS6 w/ T-Mobile. Two or three times a day, wifi will turn on and stay on of its own accord. I have location services using wifi enabled, but this is obviously not supposed to leave wifi on and connect to networks, so if that's the problem it's clearly a bug. I can't imagine what else would be causing this and don't see many other people posting about it, so maybe my phone is the problem?
Go to advanced settings and turn off auto connect and always scanning. Advanced settings in WiFi settings.
My Gear Live auto-turns off WIFI when I turn off bluetooth on my phone. Does anyone experience this? When I select "Re-enable WIFI" the WIFI turns on, but auto turns off again. No WIFI problems when I turn on both bluetooth and wifi on my phone.
Edit: I discovered restarting the watch is the only way to keep WIFI connected when this happens. Touching "Re-enable WIFI" does nothing.

Honestly this is the first time I see this option screen. And I use wifi quite often. Try resetting your watch and see if that helps.

I can't turn off wifi, it always gets back on. I have not upgraded Miui, only changed data usage of some apps but I can't figure out which one resulted on this kind of "always on" wifi.
Anyone could help?
Hi,
I have a question to you guys maybe somebody can answer this, i tried searching for an answer already but found no answer.
I have the P30 Pro and checked the battery usage and i see the Wi-Fi is always on even when the screen is off.
I attached a screen shot, the odd thing is that i was the whole day on the beach without Wi-Fi coverage.
I know that there is the always scan feature but it is already off.
Any ideas as to why this happens?
Any feedback would be appreciated
So, you had wifi turned on while at the beach, but it wasn't connected to a network, correct? My understanding of the Wifi Scanning option is the act of scanning for wifi hotspots for the purposes of location determination. If your wifi is Enabled on your phone, it's constantly scanning to try and connect to a network you've saved. You could turn off the Stay Connected When Device Sleeps switch on the battery settings, but this would affect your cellular connection in addition to wifi as I understand it.
If you don't want to have wifi draining your battery while out and about, you'll need to turn it off. If you did turn it off, then I've got nothing...
When you don´t use a battery saving option and leave Wifi on it will stay on, regardless whether you have a signal or your screen is turned off. That´s the way it should work.
