(Nougat)(OOS 4.0.2) WiFi Hotspot turning OFF automatically - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello All,
Could anyone please confirm if they are experiencing the same behavior after Nougat 4.0.2 update?
Whenever i turn Hotspot ON and turn the screen OFF, the hotspot turns OFF automatically after few minutes. Tested with both Stock and Boeffla kernel.

I think it turns off automatically when no users are connected to it. I have seen that setting somewhere, can't remember it.
Hope it helps. Thanks

My Gf's device was connected when this happened. I'm not sure why. I will research if there is any setting for it.

Mine does too, I have a device in my car that I use the Hotspot for and I know its connected and on my phone it turns it off after a few min, so yes same issues, haven't found a fix for it except Turing it back on and seems to work

Maybe if someone can read the whole build prop may find something related to it.
I saw a lot of network and camera and all stuff in build prop for random things.
Happens on 3t as well.

Yes exactly 5min. But not sure if you need to actually use the wifi hotspot or just being connected to trigger the turn off. Ill test myself later

not happening to me. im on freedom os 2.3 . maybe try this rom and see if the šroblem persists

Nah i'm a stock ROM believer. I always just flash custom kernel but i keep the ROM as it is. Especially on OP3, never felt the need to switch to a custom ROM.

FreedomOS is based off of stock rom, just some tweaks to make it better

And that is exactly why i don't use it. I don't need those tweaks at the risk of any compatibility issue or even a minor stability risk. Stock ROM is already rocking so why to even bother a new rom. But the stock kernel has no features, so i flash custom kernel sometimes but i usually stay fully stock.

Try disabling aggressive dose option from settings>battery. My hotspot is now not turning off.

no it has it automatically turns off b/c of Connected Device Manager, there is no way around it that i could find, i use tasker and to re-enable after 5 min, if u use a security key there may be an issue with the device not showing its connected so it disables after 5 minutes

After disabling aggressive dose not a single issue with hotspot turn off for me.

have the oneplus 3t and upgraded to 7.0
oneplus support is suggesting downgrading to Marshmallow but your phone will be reset to scratch.....noticed that the connected device list has to show the phone, laptop, etc. If not, the hotspot will turn off automatically. To bypass it, you have to go into the Set up wifi hotspot option and change name password and AP Bands sometimes for the device to populate in the list of connected devices. Or you can have it open without a WPA key.
This is the only options that worked for me after trying all the others from hard reset, aggressive mode, sleep mode, etc. I really don't want to hard reset and downgrade to Marshmallow.
It doesn't remember my same devices and i always have to change the settings so i leave the WPA off sometimes. You can always disconnect a device if you noticed somebody else trying to use the hotspot.

If I don't want to turn it off, maybe I only put hotspot app into whitelist.
But the quesition is, which application I should exclude? Haven't found anything like yet.

GPS doesn't work after suspend

If you leave your GPS app running and put your phone in suspend mode by pressing the power button, does it still work after you wake it up again?
In my Vogue it won't work until I reset it or restart the GPS daemon service but it works just fine in my Titan so I guess it's something software related so if the GPS in your Vogue still works after you put it in suspend mode while leaving your navigation application running, please tell me what ROM you are using and your radio version.
Thanks!

Mine does the same. I'm not sure it is common but cannot fix it.

Thanks for letting me know.
This is very uncomfortable for me as sometimes I need to be able to just press the power button to suspend it so it won't drain the battery. I wish I knew what's wrong here as the Titan doesn't have this problem and has the same chipset (MSM7500).
mine does the same thing, ive tried every setting i could and nothing works
Same problem here with using TomTom. I am running the latest Verizon rom because I am on verizon. I didn't let customization run & didn't do any fixes. aGPS fix didn't help this either. I am just going to buy a small BT gps & sya the hell with this F'en BULLSH** & screw verizon.
Guys, I already figured out this problem.
It's the GPS drivers fault, I don't know why most ROMs are using the GPS driver which has this bug.
The OMJ ROM (search for it on PPCGeeks) has the right driver which doesn't have this problem.
Almost every ROM I have ever used has done this.

I am no genius & still using the official ROM & radio. After the phone is turned off it is almost like the GPS is turned off too. The only way to turn it back on is to soft reset. It seems like there must be something in the registry causing this but damned if I know. I would be curious to flash another ROM just to see if the problem persist.

Just turn off GPS before you turn your phone off. GPS uses a LOT of power compared to having your screen on I wouldn't worry about it.
GPS is enough to cause my phone to drain 20% per hour, even on the car charger, (not sure the mA.)
Just saying, the PDA-portion of the phone, even with the screen on, doesn't use JACK compared to when GPS is active.
GPS on my phone is fully fuctional with zero issue now. I get a lock within seconds. I flashed NFSFAN's Verizon 1.12 ROM last night & let the customizations run. I did not have to apply any hacks or fix to get it working either.
....so you are saying that now your GPS works with the phone turned off?
No. Before if I turned my phone off or if it went to suspend mode I would have to soft reset. The GPS would not work or it my work but never obatain a lock. Basically eveytime I wanted to use the GPS I would have to soft reset everytime. With NFSFAN's ROM I don't have to worry about it.

I tried the NSFAN ROM and it still stops working for me after suspending.
What version of NSFAN ROM are you using exactly?
The newest version 1.12

ACS Syndicate 1.0.2 Wifi Issue?

I tried 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and they both do the same thing. Whenever I am in Airplane mode wifi will not turn on. I press the button and it just freezes in the on position and then nothing happens. Never had this problem on any other rom. Any Suggestions?

This is default Samsung settings and cannot be changed at this time.

Does that only apply to EB13? DK28 and DI18 never had this problem. The only reason I ask is because I live in an area where I get no service and my battery drains 3x as fast if I dont have Airplane mode on.

I never tested it much in previous versions, but I can confirm it occurs across EB13. The setting is tweakable at a low level - and I question why Samsung didn't include it in Settings, and why even Spare Parts doesn't tweak it.

Thanks for the feedback k0nane, Im overseas right now so anything but airplane mode is an instant battery drain if I want to use Wifi. I figured this was Samsung's fault now I know. Here's to hoping EC05 fixes it, though I have my doubts.
Given that your aware of it, do you think it is something you guys (the awesome Devs) will be able to fix with time?

Yes. Thereotically, it's as simple as a settings.db change - I'm looking at it for 1.1.0.

Cool, Your my hero! Thanks again for your awesome work.
You might be able to toggle it under the testing mode (dial settings).
if I remember correctly it is something like:
#*INFO##4444# might be able to shut off all cellular connections, but still keep wifi and gps open.

That would be absolutely perfect. This is the only problem I am having with your Rom. If its fixed I will definately donate to the cause. Your Rom is by far the smoothest, fastest one out.

Hmm, seems without a data connection i cant get into that menu...or maybe I'm typing it in wrong. I know I've been in that menu before.

This did seem to work, the correct code is *#INFO*1111#
Under the Phone info menu I turned off the radio. Now I can be out of airplane mode but don't seem to be losing any battery to cell standby, only display and phone idle.
Thanks for the suggestion, this will get me by for the week. Im out of thanks for the day but I owe you one =)
Edit: Thanked you properly

Jellybean wifi issue

Hello,
After updating from CM9 to CM10 I started facing wifi issue. My phone works normally for 1-3 days, and then wifi stops working. If I go to wifi settings, it says "Searching for Wi-Fi Networks". Also, wifi cannot be turned off. After reboot wifi operates normally for some time until this glitch happens again.
I thought it was CM-related issue, but some people say they have faced this issue even with stock JB.
Do you have this issue? How can it be fixed?
Toggle airplane mode.

Thanks, but I'd like to know if there is a way to fix it completely Does everyone just toggles airplane mode? Is there a firmware without this issue?

No idea on how to fix it, i have it too.
It's not happening too frequently to bother me.
Is there ; Support connect to wireless network by QSS (Quick Security Setup)??
for this build patch?
I have this exact same problem on CM10. I did a full wipe and the problem remains
I will keep searching for a solution, but I really hope someone can tell us more information as to what the cause might be.

Welcome to the club, mate! For me, wifi has almost never worked as it should.
Mostly, it works just fine until the phone goes to sleep for a few minutes. Then
the speed is reduced to around 1-2 Mbit/s, & the only way to restore the speed
is to turn wifi off & then turn it on again. After doing that, everything's Hunky Dory
until the phone goes to sleep again. Then the story repeats itself....
I've almost given up on Samsung by now, since they seem totally unable (unwilling?)
to fix this widely experienced issue. Also, their update scheme for this "flag ship" (?)
suck big time, at least for us wanting the "NEE" version of KK4.4.2....
And btw, this phone also seems unable to record both sides of a conversation
when using a BT headset. That's NOT ok in 2014, Sammy! You've got my
money once, but you've made sure that I won't do the same mistake twice.

Has anybody found a solution to this, I can't download anything in sleep mode, tried all wifi settings, is it just 4.4.2?
Hi , is not the best solution but you can try Juice defender to automatically turn wifi on when phone wakes.
I'm on dr Ketan V14 rom and wifi works fine.
I hope that can help you.
I realize that this is an old thread.... amazing how they just peter out with no real solution.
N7100, stock ROM, Rooted, and have Xposed Deep deep wifi sleep activated.
This happens about 90% of the time coming out of sleep, even the wifi quick setting is un-illuminated so have to turn it back on. When phone is shut down and then restarted, it happens 100% of the time, even after a full re-install of the ROM, 4.4.2.
I've stopped worrying about it.

Severe WiFi Issues

In short I have the problem in said video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTylW2ElNzo
WIFI is sporadic and connects but after screen goes off it can mess up again, and restarting sometimes does not fix it. Is there a way to resolve it? I disabled Power Save, Wifi Direct & Scanning. But wifi wants to go on & off option-wise by itself still.
Do you have an custom kernel or something like that? I'm on the road since then I can't watch the youtube link right now.

I do. However it was happening stock (seller mentioned it sometimes had wifi issues but....never said this bad)
Do you have synapse or anything similar installed? Maybe there's an configuration option to fix it. I'm beginner by myself so im not totally sure but I think I had an custom kernel which came with synapse where I've been able to change wifi settings
