Hi all,
I have a problem
Samsung S9+ / Oreo 8
WiFi does not automatically turn on near saved networks any more.
Have tried:
-restart phone
-reset network settings
-put on airplane mode
-make hotspot
-uncheked the option, restart the phone,check the option
When i turn the WiFi manually it Auto-connects to the saved network.
Android build
R16NW.G965FXXS2BRI1
Phone does not enable the wifi automatically in places where I have the wifi network saved.
Network wifi is checked to "Turn on Wi-Fi automatically" and in Improve accuracy settings, Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning are also turned on.
When I am at home or in a place where I use the saved wifi network, I must enable the wifi manually (toggle the wifi button on) and the phone connects to that wifi with no problem.
I aven tried to boot in safe mode and see if there it enables the wifi automatically and it did not. What i did:
-disabled manually the wi-fi
-restarted the phone into safe mode
-the wi-fi staid disabled although the option to turn on automatically wifi and wi-fi scanning were turned on. the wifi signal was full bar also.
I have noticed that when disabling the power saving feature(which was on medium with background data enabled) my wifi network was added to frequently used networks. I disabled it manually and restarted the phone. When the phone booted, the WiFi turned itself on.
Then i enabled the power saving feature also on medium with background data enabled, i turned off the WiFi manually, immediately i got a notification that my network was taken out from frequently used network. I disabled the power saving feature, restarted the phone and again the WiFi does not turn automatically on.

I recently traveled out of country and turned off my Data connection + Phone in my wireless controls during the duration of my trip (2 weeks). Now that I'm back, I can turn everything in my wireless controls back on EXCEPT my Data Connection. Every time I click it to turn it on, it takes me to a different screen for connections, asking me to "Add a new Modem connection", "Set up my proxy server", " Manage existing connections", and so on. Shouldn't my data just turn back on?
I have downloaded BsB tweaks but its settings have always been the same. I've turned on and off my Data connection multiple times before but not for this long of a period. It would usually just turn on and I can use my 3G but now it's not simply turning on. please help?
Nvm, I just turned it back on. For some reason it takes a few trys to turn it back on
I use EasySMS app to sens text messages from my phone by typing them on my laptop. Laptop connects to EazySMS through Wifi. It works when the screen is ON, but when it goes off, the http interface no longer works (page not found errors). I then need to turn on the screen again to regain connectivity.
EasySMS has an option 'Keep wifi connected (drains battery)' and I already have it ON.
At the same time, AirDroid works fine over wifi even with screen off.
What could be the problem?
Hi

Go to the settings - wireless & networks - Wi-Fi settings- then click right - Advanced-second option change to never.

Turned out DISABLING "'Keep wifi connected" made it work. How logical...
Hello,
I would like to check if anyone here know how to toggle wifi powersave mode to off permanently? Im having trouble with my wifi after my phone awake from sleep, it is connected but doesnt transmit data. able to see outgoing packets but no incoming. Looking into it right now as some mention about powersave mode.
Problem is after a restart, the powersave mode went back to 'On' again. are there any config files to modify this permanently?
updates: problem is that currently when i enter into a peap network. wifi turns off when i lock my screen(my settings in wifi is 'always on') after that wifi is unable to connect back. I do see the outing packet symbol, but there is not incoming packets.
I have to turn off wifi powersave mode and everything is okay.
this explains my action on post #1
Anybody have there wifi cut on after having disabled it
Do you have do not allow google to use Wi-Fi scanning turned off under your advanced Wi-Fi settings?
No
I mean it wasn't turned on
It needs to be disabled
Im new to the M4 from a note 3
I used to use an app called green power to turn off wifi and data when my screen was off and it would turn back on when my screen came on
This saved battery and data usage
I could see the wifi and data getting enabled when my screen would turn on
On the M4 under Power management-stamina mode it says data and wifi will be disabled when screen is off
From what I found it says
It achieves this by blocking data traffic a minute after the handset is placed on standby. Whilst doing this the phone automatically logs your IP address, meaning you are instantly connected once the phone is powered on again.
Is it normal I still see the wifi and data icons as soon as the screen is on with no delay?I figured wifi would be turned completely off as well as data when screen is on so it may take a sec r 2 fr th wifi to reconnect thus I would see nothing then H as 3G would kick in or LTE then Wifi would kick in
Wifi icon is always showing as well as data icon
Can anyone confirm what occurs with their phone with this option on? Is wifi/3G icons still on?
Just want to know if this is normal behavior or if my data is still getting used
