Hello guys, well i have a bit of a strange problem, i have an unbranded HTC M8, i had it with 4.4.2 stock rom and everything was alright. I just upgraded to 4.4.3 (through OTA), after that, i did a wipe data/wipe cache from recovery to start from scratch, and now everytime i enable wifi the arrows beneath the wifi simbol stay lit all the time. Now i haven't installed any apps, i disabled facebook, google+ etc, i haven't even added an email account so there's nothing that could be using the network. I checked mobile data usage and there's nothing substantial there, so i really don't know what to try anymore. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Android OS shows increasing data usage. What's that exactly?!
Well, completely desperate, i started blocking apps from the app menu in the settings. Apparently, it kind of stopped when i freezed all the related sense processes (facebook, twitter, etc.) though i didn't have any accounts working, because i had just factory formated the phone. Still, it keeps transfering data (not as much) and it's the Android OS doing it. I also have to add this only happens through wifi, 3G data doesn't behave the same way.

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!
Hi.
Just flashed the Blackout ICS ROM on my phone and I'z loving it.
Problem though is my Whatsapp doesn't send or receive msgs though other apps do.
i have uninstalled and reinstalled it; removed my data manager etc yet it's still the same.
i noticed a similar thread but it the problem wasn't addressed there. here's the thread link

First of all, if you are trying this over 3G, try it over WiFi.
Second, try clearing the data and cache of Whatsapp.
Third, if you are using a firewall app on your phone (such as droidwall), you might be blocking connections to whatsapp.

Everything works via Wifi. the Whatsapp recently connected but twitter failed to connect. seems all of the applications cannot connect simultaneously over 3G. Would habe posted the problem directly in the Balckout ICS DHD thread but i do not have enough posts to make any input in the development section.
thanks
Hey, I am on SlimKat 4.4.2 build 5 (not that it matters, as I've had this problem on all the ROMs I have tried) and for some reason the apps in the title don't work on my wifi. I have tried resetting the router, wiping my cache, forgetting the network, and a few other things, all with no success. The apps just try to refresh for a long time then say connection error. Surfing Google Chrome works fine on my phone, as well as anything else that requires internet. Any tips?
If just those apps won't work then maybe something on your phone is blocking those apps from accessing the network. Try clearing app data; Settings>Apps>Find Your App>Clear Data. Also do you have an AdBlocker that could be causing issues?

About three days ago my phone stopped letting me play clash of clans over wifi, I thought it was just the router needing a restart, so switched to mobile data and that was that.
The next day I restarted the router and still no connection to clash of clans over wifi. Tried just a normal webpage in chrome - worked fine, tried going on my gmail through chrome, worked fine, but anything to do with googleplay store, or syncing with my account from my phone and it just won't connect over wifi. Mobile data and everything works.
I tried clearing cache and dalvik, factory reset, downgrading to 4.2.2 no sense, then another 4.4.4, then a lollipop, just in case it was something to do with the google apps not talking properly with everything else, but to no avail.
Went into the router and factory reset it, tried different security settings and no change. Normal wifi just using the phones browser works fine, as does everything over mobile data. But nothing to do with google is working over wifi. My partner also has an android and uses the same internet connection and all is well, I have gone to a friends place and wifi with google has the same problem.
Anyone with any ideas welcome.
I have an HTC M8 converted to GPE, running stock rooted Lollipop 5.0.1. I started having this problem fairly recently, previously everything was fine.
With my screen off, all push notifications are delayed significantly (at least 10-15 minutes on mobile data, 20-30 on wifi). Shortly after I turn the screen on, all delayed notifications start coming through. An interesting point to note is that on mobile data, I don't seem to lose the connection at all (as soon as I unlock my phone, I am connected to the internet) but with wifi, I get connection errors for the first 5-10 seconds.
So far I've tried: factory reset, reinstalling firmware (tried latest Sense, latest stock, and a few older versions), switching to a different ROM (SkyDragon). I'm running out of things to check because I've reinstalled everything that can be reinstalled. I've checked all the silly little things like restricting background data and I don't seem to be using any settings on my phone that could cause trouble. I've also tried several "push notification fixer" apps to no avail.
This is seriously making my phone useless to me, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.
