Wifi Assistant not working on 6.0.1 Marshmallow - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Google Connectivity Services installed and updated. I enabled the feature in Google > Networking and in Wifi > Advanced. I know the feature is enabled. When I am connected to the wifi network I eventually get a notification asking if I would like to secure the network, when I press enable though the notification just dismisses itself. I can never get the VPN key to show up in the status bar. Sometimes my wifi shows "Connecting via Wifi Assistant" but it will never connect unless I do a manual connect.
I am using 6.0.1, the service technically requires android 5.1+, but some have said it only works on nougat. It worked fine on nougat for me, but I downgraded. Does it anyone have it working on marshmallow (non-Project Fi service)?

[Q] WiFi nothification not show up after upgrade to 4.3 stock not rooted

Does anyone know how to bring the WIFI notification back? It used to work on 4.1.2 without any problem.
I'm talking about if you have a saved network that is require an additional login when you automatically connect and it is require to open the browser to create an account to register the device to that network so you can use it. Before as soon the phone is connected on top notification bar it is show message that tell the WiFi is require additional information to sigh in (or something similar) and when you click it is open the default browser and show you the sign in page of the network. After the update it is connecting directly to the WiFi but no notification and basically your phone is not connected.
Thanks

[Q] Problems with refresh/switching of wi-fi access points

I've started noticing weird issues with wifi recently - when I move from one wifi access point to another, wifi list is not refreshed (says "Connected" to AP that is way out of reach although wifi icon in status bar is inactive), and this is not happening even when I tap "Scan" manually. To connect to other AP I have to turn wifi off, wait few seconds, then turn it on (both AP's have saved passwords, reconnect happens automatically).
What's interesting, wifi access points lookup works fine in general and I continue seeing "Wifi access point available" notifications from time to time.
Confirmed this problem on firmware v.14.3.A.0.757 (4.4.2), upgrade to 761 did not fix anything. This is not very likely a setting issue, tried playing with "Scanning always available", "Wi-Fi optimization" settings, etc. Not 100% sure stock firmware had this issue (14.2.А.1.114 (4.3)), although if there is some easy way to downgrade I might go with it.
Does anyone encountered the same issue? What can be done to diagnose this issue?

Alternative to Exposed Smart Network app on Nexus 5X?

Hi,
I'm trying to get smart network to intelligently manage my WIFI and data networks. Data works fine, but I'm having trouble getting wifi toggle to work. The device won't see any wifi networks after wifi has toggled off. I have to manually toggle wifi to get it to connect again.
Does anyone have a alternative app solution for my purposes?
Currently I've got working with Smart Network:
Turn off data on wifi connection or screen off.
Activation timer of 20 minutes (2 minute duration) for data connection.
I would like to add:
Turn off wifi x minutes after screen off.
Activation timer (periodically connect wifi network).
keep wifi connection on selected networks (wifi whitelist).
Current setup:
Nexus 5X on 6.0.1. stock ROM.
System root 2.5.2.
Latest Xposed framework and lastest version of Smart Network and Gravity Box for MM.
ElementalX kernel 1.0.4. (stock kernel didn't work either)
I've got little hope for Smart Network app being updated (i've already posted in the appropriate thread) so i'm interested in knowing if anyone else has a similar setup.
Any suggestions?

Wifi Tether Router

Hello,
Here is the problem.* My phone is rooted with CF-Auto Root. I downloaded SuperSU successfully and then downloaded the .APK for Wifi Tether Router.
It successfully downloaded! * I open the application and go to configure WIFI ROUTER, I then receive a notification from the program saying, "WARNING You are currently using Android 4.3/4.4 If the network is not transmitted, disables (UNCHECK) the 'Scan always available' from the screen that appears.*
That message was verbatim from what my phone was saying.
Once I close the message the phone automatically opens my phones IP settings. Network notification tab is unable to be turned on and of, it is currently selected as "ON", and Passpoint is currently selected as "off".
I press the back option on my phone and it takes me back to the configuration screen for "Wifi Tether Router". I then begin to change my device settings starting with method. I choose* Method 3-(HostApd) and press back. I choose WLAN0 as my interface. I scroll down to Prevents Stand By and make sure IT IS checked. after that I Make sure that HostApd Patch is checked off as well.
I scroll down to APN settings and my screen is completely grayed out with all the different Access Point Names unavailable. the ADD option is also grayed out.
I then set my Hot spot settings.
ssid- wififorme
encryption - wpa2-psk
wifi password -* ihatecheeseburgers
wifi channel- 1
*
Im done at this point. I press back and I am at the home screen for the program. I select ENABLE WIFI ROUTER and phone request ask me to grant* access. I do. The phone disables router then resets the radio and the phone is enabling WiFi Router.... waiting... phone grants access and it displays my wifi settings.
The program is now running at this point but is not sending data or receiving it. I jump on my laptop and the wifi network is not showing up either.
What did I do wrong and how can I fix this issue?

You need to contact the support team for said app, or the dev himself. If you goto the website there is setup instructions even...

I have the same issue and I can't get wifi hotspot working on my phone either. I want to use it to play my chromecast in my car.
Did you ever figure it out?

WiFi calling not working

Does anyone have wifi calling working? I switched about a month ago to Project Fi as AT&T did not allow wifi calling on my 2XL. Where I live cell service is almost non existent, so having wifi calling is a huge plus for me. However, the last few times I have tried to make a call it tells me the call cannot be completed. I have checked the settings and wifi calling is enabled, one thing I don't see (maybe not even on the 2XL) is the little + icon next to the wifi when wifi calling is available. On a previous phone if wifi calling was enabled, that little plus symbol was there to show it as active.
Anyone else having issues? Was not working on P DP4 and also not working on P DP5. Going to contact Fi if I cannot figure it out, but wanted to check here first.
Thanks.
on DP5 now.
I do not use Fi as primary number (AT&T is primary), but Fi is backup.
At times when I re-activate it takes a few minutes for wi-fi calling to work.
I generally turn on airplane mode, then turn on wi-fi, as at home I have strong cell signal so it usually goes over cell, but test wi-fi every so often.
It initially failed (as I just activated, told me to turn off airplane) but after the 2nd attempt it works again as expected.
It has been like that throughout the dev previews for me, though, Im not sure if they are to blame, its been quite awhile since I tried on O, so I dont recall any issue.
Wifi calling works fine on T-Mobile in the states
Found another thread saying that Hangouts needed to be installed for wifi calling to work, sure enough it worked when installing hangouts.
Just uninstalled it again though, set to airplane mode, activate WiFi, calling works. Weird. Will just leave it on airplane mode while home. Wonder if I can set something up in Tasker to enable airplane mode when connected to my home WiFi.
Weird, today tried to make a call and it failed again. Even with airplane mode active and WiFi activated. Installed Hangouts again and the calling works right away, I hate having to have an app installed just to use a basic function but oh well.

interesting. I had previously had hangouts and hangouts dialer installed (yesterday when I replied to you) uninstalled them today, re-activated Fi, turned on airplane mode, turned on wi-fi and call went straight thru.
Not sure what to make of it though, and I know it doesn't help you, just reporting.
Tried to make a call just now, Hangouts installed, did not go through. Disabled cellular data and the call went through fine. Going to play around some more with Hangouts uninstalled, wifi on, cell data off etc. and see if I can get it reliably working.

Yes, I am on Verizon and WiFi Calling works. I have a delay at the start of a call but it switches to WiFi just fine.

How did you get it working? Are you running a custom rom or stock? Do you have the Google version or Verizon version of the phone? Did you get a WiFi activation screen when you first turned on the wifi?

Been using Project Fi for around 10 months now. Switched to it because no cell provider could produce a reliable signal where I work so I needed the WiFi calling and it has worked almost perfectly for me. I would contact Project Fi support if I were you. On DP5 right now.

I am on a Verizon version Pixel 2 XL, so no root and pure stock. I just went to Settings>Network&internet>Mobile network>Advanced>Wi-Fi Calling and enabled it. I think maybe the first time I enabled it, it popped up a Enabling Wi-Fi Calling or something but that was it.

Verizon says it should work but it doesn't. I can go thru the same steps you mentioned but it wont actually connect.I also cant get google voicemail working...it keeps trying to use verizon's voicemail.
Wifi calling quit working again, anyone else have this problem? Fi support don't seem to have any clue, going through various settings that all seem to be making no difference whatsoever. If I try to make a call it just says "Cellular network not available" and the call fails.
Turning on Airplane mode and then Wifi - gives an error of "To make a call turn off airplane mode"
Hangouts, Google Connectivity Services, Carrier Services, and Google Play Services are all installed, enabled and with unrestricted data usage set to enabled.
Configure IMS calling is enabled
Wondering if I should disable and then re-enable the Google Fi carrier to see if that does anything.
Cell signal here is awful, which is why reliable wifi calling is so important.
Worked for a couple weeks, now back to the same old "Cellular network not available"
Bloody maddening.
Pixel 2 XL on Pie, UK network EE. Never had an issue with it, works flawlessly. I don't have to do anything like aeroplane mode. When I'm connected to Wifi it shows I'm using WiFi calling in pull down notifications and on-call screens. All I did was enable the feature, so on that basis, I would say it's not the feature and more likely the service/wifi being used.
