problem with app wifi tether router

OK so here's what's going on the app works great but when I turn it off everything on the phone that it's installed on says it's off the app says it's disabled the process is gone from running processes but somehow it's still broadcasting because even with it off all my other devices still see it and they try to connect but fail
Now if I reboot after turning the app off everything is fine see the problem is if I don't reboot after turning the app off I get a massive battery drain. I was wondering if anyone else had this app installed and are having the same issue here is a link to a video that I made showing what's going on its on a zip file just so I could upload it faster please take a look and tell me what you think could be going on
I've emailed the developer but he doesn't know what's happening and why anyway here's the link

Hello Rob
I am also having the same issue with D855 international version with 10e Europe firmware and Wifi Tether Router app.
The turnaround action I am using is to go to the "recent apps" (button in the botton of home screen) and close the Wifi tether app window. Doing that, the wifi signal is gone. So I do not need to reboot.
Hope this "solution" can help you a little. But of course it would be better if the dev fis that in the app.
regards,
Cabtouch

Nope that doesn't work for me funny thing is I even uninstalled the app and it was still broadcasting until I rebooted I'm at a loss with this and the developer has no clue as to why it's doing it either

I had the same problem with my lg g3 and my Samsung PM 900. I decided to uninstall the app until there is a new update hoping it might be better...

I've emailed the developer and he can't find a problem I emailed him a video showing exactly what it was doing

I think I found the problem if you have the hacked hotspot apk installed this app won't stop broadcasting so far by putting the original hotspot apk back on has fixed the problem but I'm still doing some further testing to make sure

Exclamation mark on wifi and cell signal

So after rooting and installing latest Cataclysm (Jan 6th update) with ElementalX I get this exclamation mark on my cell signal and wifi.
When that happens, I can use Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube and I am able to make calls, texts, etc. What I can't do is load any page that isn't a google page on my browser. Also, I can't load anything on my Reddit app that isn't a text thread. Images, videos and anything external in general, won't load.
When I restart my phone, everything works fine. As soon as I lose signal or turn airplane mode on/off, it appears and I can't get rid of it.
I tried:
Resetting my APN settings.
Reinserting my SIM.
Changing preffered network to 2G/3G/LTE.
Resetting network settings.
Flashing ROM again.
Flashing original EFS again.
Wiping cache/dalvik.
I have no idea what to do or what is causing this issue.
Please help.

Go back to stock ROM and see if it happens there, if it does it's a carrier issue if it doesn't it's likely a bug with the ROM/Kernel you are using.

What carrier are you on? Have you check and/or re-verify those APN settings ? Next time this happen, turn on Airplane mode for 15 or 30 seconds, then turn it off again - do you have a decent cellular signal ?
I'm running PureNexus with EX rom and it's fine, solid (and stronger) signal on T-Mobile vs. N5 used by spouse.

Im not from the US or something popular but trust me I verified my APN settings.

I saw it sometimes on my custom ROMs, nothing to worry about though.
If you enabled data and you don't get the LTE sign, then try going into the Hidden menu and setting LTE to automatic. I forgot the hidden code though, can somebody else supply it? Alternatively, you can go inside settings>others>network>apn and check the apn, then go out and change the option to LTE (recommended) or something

Is this occurring with the MMB29P radio and vendor installed?

Do you use Adblock Plus? I had the same problem. Switching Adblock off and on solved the Problem. Apparrantly they have a problem with Https connections or something

Removing Adblock plus seems to fix the issue, thanks.

There are 2 options to change it. Via quick setting or via regular sim settings.
See attached screenshots.

Mini view not working?

I turned it on, and swiped on either direction across the back to recents, vice versa. But nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
Not sure if it matters, but I am using Nova Launcher.

I also have not been able to get it to work. I'm on a Verizon wireless model with the latest July update.

Update: I got it to work, somewhat, by turning off last pass accessibility.

Lastpass is a password management app. It requires permission to the accessibility settings to auto fill passwords. If you don't have Lastpass, it could be another app that's stopping mini view to work. Try going into settings, up on the search box type accessibility. You should be able to find it there and see which app is needing it.

i had the same issue, what i found out was that you have to swipe quickly , try swiping faster

It's not that.

Solution for those running Malwarebytes
FYI: I thought for sure that it was either Greenify, Gravity Screen, or Nova Launcher causing my Mini View not to work. They are all fine with Mini View.
I finally figured out that it is Malwarebytes causing the problem. By having Malwarebytes "On" in Accessability Settings this kills the Mini View for me.

Cannot figure out what is using location services.

I just did a clean install of Android Pie earlier today on my 2XL, on Project Fi.
I've only setup the basics so far, using stock launcher and a few apps.
The location symbol will not go away. Is there a way to check and see what is using it?
I've disabled location all together and it goes away. Looked at the apps that have location permission, and toggled it off, but the icon stays.
Any ideas?

Go to Settings,

App Permissions
Location
Make sure none are checked. Then make sure Location is Off plus Wi-Fi scanning also Off

Thanks! Is that to totally disable it? I'd like to keep the basics on for fitness, weather and normal items.

Also, did what you had asked, but it is still showing that it is on. The icon to the left of the wifi, that is the location icon, right?

If the Location symbol is showing all the time and you can't find what is triggering it, you might have to save your pics and music, etc.,
then do a factory reset. I have installed Pie on several P2XL devices, and none have the Location symbol showing all the time. Must be
a battery hog if it's on all the time.

Yeah, it's eating my battery pretty bad. I just did a factory reset earlier today and set it up from scratch.

If you've done that already, would recommend unlock and critical unlock followed by Deuce's script with wipe Yes.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...ol-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3704761
Something's not right and that script usually nails it.

You can go to Settings - Security & location - Location... Recent location requests will show the apps using location or used recently...

It looks like the Project Fi icon is still up in your notifications. Have you finished setting it up to completion? I can't remember for sure but I think my location icon was up until I finished setting up Fi and the Fi icon was off the screen.

I am facing the same issue with project fi installed on my 2xl.
