Since the My T-Mobile app updated to work with Android 6.0 I've noticed the option to turn off wifi assistance was removed. So now my phone is constantly starting wifi no matter what. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Hi, I have a problem on my AT&T S4 where even if I manually turn off WiFi it keeps turning ON whenever i try to use an application that requires data. This is very disconcerting and any help will be greatly appreciated!!
P.S. I have looked at disabling Wifi power saving via *#0011# and even though it does seem to help but does not stick through a reboot.

Think about trying the S4 section?
Assuming you have an AT&T phone, perhaps AT&T Wifi is turned on which is what is triggering it to turn on and scan.

I'm on a Sprint G3 running Bare-pop (stock, rooted, minimal bloat lollipop ROM) and my Wi-Fi shows connected but seems to have problems staying connected. It will refuse to load a web page or won't update my feeds even though it shows it is connected to Wi-Fi. It doesn't appear to be the Wi-Fi as everything else in my house is operating normal.
Toggling it off then on helps, but I have to manually go in and connect it again... It won't just reconnect to the network.
Anyone had this issue, or know of a fix for it?

I occasionally get this problem. Simply hit forget on the network settings then reconnect. I find that after updating my phone some of my connections aren't perfect and the only way to fix them is to forget then reconnect. If you recently updated try this.
Just tried this. Seems like it's working better.

Good to hear! Glad to help!
On different (clean) stock roms, both mm and ll, data doesn't work when I leave my wifi's range. I have to toggle airplane mode to get it to work again. Tried "switch automatically" in wifi settings and "aggressive handover" in developer section. I found g2 and g3 owners with 6th same issue, but u don't find a proper solution, besides managing this using tasker. The issue appeared suddenly and persists on every rom I try. H815
Snap.
Have the same problem with mine.
It seems to eventually pick up data, but this could be anything from 5-30 minutes are leaving the WiFi connection.
Airplane mode on/off fixes it sometimes, but others I have restarted the phone with no change.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
LG G4 H815.
Android 6.0.
Software version V20g-EUR-XX.
Same issue here, which started suddenly with no obvious reason.
Anyone?
Hey All, I just got Motorola Moto M XT1663 indian version and I need help with 3 problems:
1. I'm getting ads on my phone screen despite deleting almost all the apps on the phone. I was unable to find any app that is displaying ads as soon as the phone gets connected to the internet.
2. My Wi-Fi connection disconnects automatically with no apparent reason. I have tried turning off Wi-Fi scanning as seen in another video but no luck. Wi-Fi connection just disappears and will not connect back unless done manually.
3. I'm not getting "system updates" option under settings->about phone.
Additionally, I have performed a hard reset on the phone but it also didn't help.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Hi all,
Below is the text I posted on the Google Nexus help forum but I've not had any useful help yet. Does anyone know of a fix or had similar issues caused by OTA updates.
Maybe it's time I root my phone for more control but was happy with the OTAs until now.
My Nexus 5x is having big problems connecting to WiFi after the latest update (5th November patches on Oreo).
Basically it won't connect to WiFi. I've tried all the help suggestions, reboot, remove and re-add WiFi AP. Boot in to safe mode to see if it's an app but nothing has worked. This happened straight after the update. Nothing else has changed on the phone.
If I watch the WiFi connection in settings it blips "connecting" a few times then says "disabled" on the AP I'm connecting to. Sometimes it says not in range when I try to connect although I have a strong signal.
When it sets the AP to disabled (not WiFi off, that's still on) I have to tap the AP name to try to get it to reconnect.
The latest patch has wrecked my connectivity. Are there any fixes?
Thanks

Hi, exactly the same problem occured to me after the update!
I appreciate any help...
I am also facing this kinda problem but I am on android 7.1.2 June security patch level. I can't bypass my FRP lock because I have to connect my wifi in the first place which I am unable to do. My phone can search wifi networks & also can show signal strength but it cant get connected.
btw..... do you still have this wifi problem??
