So since updating my wifi is scanning like crazy even though its already connected. Like every 3-4 seconds. Ive done a fresh restore since the update, but it still is doing it. Any idea's?
I figured it out, Navigon updated, and it queries wifi location data every few seconds now. Deleted and all is good.

Hi,
can anyone please help me? I recently downloaded and used JuiceDefender on my Desire. I configured a setting that allows the phone to learn what are the Wifi networks that I like to connect to, based on location. I soon noticed that the phone randomely reboots so I uninstalled this application. Well, I completely lost control of my Wifi connection. Even if I turn it off in Android settings, the Wifi just starts by itself and starts scanning for networks, which completely drains my battery. I installed the application again and reversed the location wifi setting but it did not help.
I also did a backup then wiped up my phone, but the Wifi still starts by itself. Is there any solution to this?
Thank you!

and the did you restore your backup?? if so i woulfd advice to clear data juice defendre and maybe mail to dev'app
thank you for your answer.
First I uninstalled juicedefender. after seeing that wifi still gets connected, i backed up, i wiped all data on the phone and restored the back up, but without juicedefender (it was not included in the backup). As for the email to the developers, I did that, but I got a response like that: "I don;t think this is possible. Please install our beta application and enjoy." How helpful of them!
Some suggestions
I would be surprised if any app could reboot the phone, even if it crashed.
Do you use tasker or locale? They can start up the wifi.
You could try org.wahtod.wififixer
You could also use something like com.mapeapps.networkcounter to check what is using the wifi. You'll have to reboot after installing it to reset the counters, but then, if it locks on to a wifi straight away, you could see what's using the connection, and maybe work out what's starting it up?
Thank you, I will try what you said. Sometimes the Wifi is just starting, but sometimes it also starts when I open any application that requires an internet connection, even if my data connection is already on. I will come back to report on what you suggested. Thanks again!
I forgot to say that I am not using a tasker. I do have enabled the location services based on network, but I have always had that before, and if the wifi was disconnected in the android settings, then it stayed off. Now it just won;t stay off. The thing is that I don;'t even need wifi, I have a good data plan. But the damn wifi just starts by itself, scanning for networks all the time, draining my battery and interrupting my regular data connection. I am so frustrated! I never had problems with my Desire for one year, and now, after installing this JuideDefender, problems are coming in.
Ok there are a couple of things:
a) If your Wifi is still broken after you uninstalled JD it is most likely not JD who was / is the culprit. You even wiped, so how should JD do this?
b) JD does not turn Wifi back on when you manually turn it off (I am not 100% sure what happens during the training phase, while JD learns you Wifi-Locations, because in these 1-3 days JD might turn Wifi on in "random" locations to enhance the algorithm)
What does the log in JD say (anything about turning Wifi on?)?
Hello,
the JD log says: WIFI turned on by user.
Which of course I have not done. I think my phone is haunted. Leaving JD aside (even if this problem started only after I started to use JD), the problem still exists: my phone turns its WIFI connection by itself, even if I don't want that!
Having a problem with my WiFi, it is constant on the WiFi download arrow. I have checked the usage with data manager and it seems to be OS Services. I updated to Jelly Bean 3 days via Kies. It was fine the first day and since yesterday I have been having this problem as well as my brother who has a S3 who updated OTA. I started diagnosing the problem and it seems to stop if I disconnect every computer in the house. As soon as I connect one of them no matter which one the constant download arrow returns. This is also happening at my school without my computer there. Had the phone since July never had a problem. Any ideas for a fix?
Btw this is a Rogers I747.

Hopefully somebody figures something out. I had a similar issue with ICS, but it was Doubletwist Airsync forcing my wifi setting to always now. Not sure what is going on now. But if it's doing what you say with the computers, maybe it has something to do with WiFi direct or something.
I have even factory reset and it was still doing it before I even loaded anything on to the phone. Is there a way I can completely fresh install the OS?
Any time I look at my wifi (In both ICS and JB) I have an almost constant download arrow, but only on WiFi.
If I turn wifi off my data does not do the same thing. I downloaded a network monitor and found that even over an hour of idle the phone had only downloaded a few kilobytes of info. Like you said, it was for OS services or something OS related.
I just assume it's some kind of ping that the phone has to do so the router doesn't disconnect it? I'm not overly sure how WiFi works. After seeing no significant decrease in battery life I stopped worrying about it.
Its just odd that 3 months + I have had this phone it never happened. Now all of the sudden this is happening to two phones after the a day after the jellybean update.
sorry to bring this up again, but has anyone found the issue or solution?
My GN 10.1 has this same issue.
I'm sure this is a nice battery drainer.
Recently, I've subscribed to mobile data on my HTC Desire (duh xD).
It went well for a couple of days, when suddenly the internet became very VERY slow. It took 1/2 a minute to access Google. At first, i thought it was a problem with my internet service provider and waited for the speed to return. A few days later, there was no progress so i tried rebooting my Desire. Internet was immediately back, only to disappear, again, the following morning. This time it took a few hours and reboots to work again only to fail yet again in the evening.
This time, even the Wi-Fi tether stopped working. I tried rebooting, clearing the dalvik-cache/cache, changing ROMs and updating the radio, but it doesnt work. I was convinced that it was a hardware failure as these problems usually appear after aggressively browsing the internet and downloading at top speed, the bottom part (at the buttons) would get a bit hot. I still have hope this is fixable so i came here .
Thanks in advance! ^_^

i want to ask u only have u checked your apn setting ....its the same to my old proplem ....if it is empty try to set up it manually:good::good:
I've already checked my APN settings and matched it with my service provider. It still doesnt work, sorry
(Firstly I know I just posted and said Surdu Petru's Kit Kat Carbon Rom is awesome and it is. So is his Omni Rom which I just changed from. The wifi problem isn't caused by the roms. it's been happening with all sorts of Roms for me (and loads of other people on other phones)
I noticed before when I installed his Omni Rom ( and at least 5x before with other roms) that the WiFi was working perfectly until some point between a Google restore & titanium backup - restore. Then I'd start getting the WiFi disconnecting every 30 seconds, even when standing next to the router on my home network.
I Googled and tried everything I could find but nothing would work. So when I installed Carbon Rom a few days ago I flashed the rom and let it install to the Google log in, connected to WiFi and signed into my Google account BUT I didn't allow Google to restore data etc, just let it log in & didn't do a full titanium restore. I then slowly (Titanium Backup) restored all my apps individually that I wanted but MOST of them I just restored the app and not the data. Everything has been perfect for two days, full strong five bar WiFi signal throughout my house, never dropping the WiFi until about 1hr ago... when I opened up Google maps , accepted it's access & (we will learn everything about you) permissions, clicked on the maps GPS logo, it asked me to go to location settings, went there, approved high accuracy and BOOM, WiFi disconnected and my WiFi now says not in range. So... is it going to some server and changing my location in the phone so now it doesn't think I'm where I am and therefore doesn't want to connect to the router 1 meter from me with five bars on the phone but "not within range"? Is this what could be causing problems for loads of people on different phones?
Tried everything to get it to reconnect (Wifi On/Off, Airplane mode on/off, Wifi advanced settings re weak connection etc, Rebooted phone and nothing worked.
Did another Google search and found this forum
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1rdolw/44_has_murdered_my_battery_rendering_my_nexus_4_a/
where about halfway down it mentions to disable hangouts and log out of Google+ then reboot. I did this and now my WiFi is back to full signal and not dropping connection.
So is this the solution to this? I haven't yet re-signed into Google+ or enabled hangouts or re-opened Google Maps and gone through the whole process above as I'm worried it will screw up my WiFi again.
Just thought I'd put this out there hoping that a developer, such as the Excellent Surdu Petru, might "click" and come up with a fix.
Hi,
I found no similar thread, only one with wifi issues while bluetooth is turned on. Since a few weeks my wifi disconnects all the time and is very slow. It does not matter if bluetooth is turned or turned off. After the update to Android pie it was definitely working for some time. I tried a factory reset without success. I did not test a different router but this can't be the issue. All other devices are working great. At the moment my phone is unusable at home. I have to turn off the mobile data because it disconnects every few seconds and uses my mobile data... My device is stock and not rooted (my first one since a very long time...). I found a few articals on other pages but without any solution. I waited for the april update but it did not fix anything for me
