Wi-Fi Constantly Turning On - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've noticed for the past month that wifi on my phone keeps activating by itself even after I manually turn it off. Ive tried reflashing the stock rom and the modem several times, but it doesn't seem to stop the random activation. I also must note that when wifi is off and I try to enable it, the screen will just say "wifi is turning on..." but it won't actually turn it on. It will do this until I reboot the phone, at which point, the wifi will finally be enabled but then I get the problem with turning it off again.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?
My device:
Nexus 4
Stock rooted 5.0.1
Hybrid 1.05/.33 modem
Stock kernel
Xposed module

That's not a bug, that's a feature of Android.

This is definitely not a feature. If your talking about the "always on" setting, I've already have that disabled

You mean scanning always available setting?
Is this only on lollipop? Did you try with jellybean as well?

I've only had the phone on kit kat and lollipop. So far this has only happened recently. I'm not really sure what's going on. My battery depletes even more quickly now while im at work since the phone wifi antenna keeps activating by itself.

Wifi doesn't really use much power. Mine is on 24/7.
There might be a hardware problem. I would flash different radios with jellybean first.

Need to replace JuiceDefender

I already have Greenify to keep apps under control.
Running CM12.1 on Lollipop. Juicedefender's mobile data feature is totally broken. I loved having that as it A) kept my data usage low, and B) really did a superb job on battery saving.
Is there any other app that controls the radios automatically? That is what I really need!
Thanks!

DS (Deep Sleep) Battery Saver worked for me in the past... I just leave data off 90% of the time anymore as I'm usually connected to WiFi.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I thought about manually controlling the LTE, but I know I would forget to turn it back on. Which would be bad since I mostly use web apps for messaging lol.

Black screen of death since 5.1.1

Ok guys it started since I migrate to 5.1.1 ROM, flashed clean DN 0.3 note 5 port, and the phone would just go black at least once per day, nothing seems to work even a hard restart (volume up + power button for 20 sec) only a battery pull would restart the phone. So I figured it must be the ROM ( noone in DN 0.3 thread seems to have this problem) . So I flashed the original 5.1 firmware for my country, rooted it and used it for a day to find out it does the same! I'm really not sure what seems to be the culprit. I couldn't find a conclusive pattern on the bsod however last time I noticed it happened right before I was disconnected from public wifi, perhaps it is the modem? Maybe it's root and bootloader conflict with 5.1 firmwares? (the phone boots up, so it cannot be bootloader? Or I don't understand something about what bootloader does?) Any one has encountered the same problem? Any clues on how to fix it?
Just happened again while wifi connection was weak and I think it happens right before it got disconnected or switched to other connection mode or different wifi
Read around the forums that people are having bsod in combination with Tasker and secure settings to switch off secure keyguard, I never use this option, just use Tasker to automate sync processes, Uninstalled it nevertheless. Will see if it helps
Happened again... Noticed that the battery percentage drops quote significantly after the battery pool, here is the screenshot

Debug wifi?

I can't get my Wi-Fi working at work. I have a Nexus 6p 64g that I've flashed with Pure Nexus. It worked before and my old Samsung Galaxy Sii can also connect. The Nexus stays stuck at 'Obtaining IP address'.
Can I get a log in some way to see what goes wrong? Or is there a way to reset Wi-Fi settings? I tried resetting vendor data in TWRP (didn't help). On a side note: I have no problem connecting to my home Wi-Fi.
Try going into Settings > Developer Options and enable Legacy DHCP. You may ask your work to look into their configuration to see if anything needs to be updated since Marshmallow updated the way enterprise level networking is handled. I ran into the same problem at my university and some people contacted them about it and I no longer have the issue.
I tried the Lollipop DHCP but it didn't help. Also, it worked before I flashed Pure Nexus and my 6p was obviously already running Marshmallow back then. I enabled to see more info in the Wi-Fi AP overview screen but I can't make sense of it.
Other tips?

Try Settings/Backup & reset/Network settings reset.

I tried that reset but it didn't fix it. Does Pure Nexus do anything differently from stock?
I noticed there's a number of wifi 'fixer' applications in the play store. Any experiences with those? Or other, more standard debug tools?

This one is 378MB and reportedly brings support for Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming (WISPr) and also includes a fix for RTT (Real Time Text) and the April Android security patch. I have no idea if this update will really improve much of anything for us, but I have reluctantly installed it hoping for better battery life.
Enjoy.
And introduced new bugs which prevent many widgets from updating or working properly...
Can some body post firmware or OTA here?
Many people with 6.0.1 cant update. Waiting for firmware.
Has anybody had charging issues since taking the update? Seems like fast charge won't work for me unless the screen is off. If I'm watching YouTube or streaming anything it won't charge the phone at all. Charging at 282 mA right now with screen on, and 2,561 mA when screen is off. And only when it's off.
Besides the kernel being slightly more efficient on battery, so far I'm not seeing any real benefit of this OTA either. In fact, this morning as I was wrapping up a BT business call, I pressed the headset's call button to end the call. Nothing happened, I then pressed end call in the phone app repeatedly and it wouldn't hang up. I had to shut off Bluetooth altogether from the quick toggles in order to hang up.
That was a discouraging experience to say the least...

NFC Issues - Doesn't turn on

Hi,
I have an issue with my OP5. I'm rooted with Magisk and I tried to use Card Emulator Pro app.
I think the app changed the NFC configuration of the OP5 and I can't turn on the NFC.
I tried to restore to NFC configuration back to default but it doesn't change.
Does anyone here has the same issue ?
Here is my log with the error

Hey, i just fixed it by downgrading it to a earlier version. It must have something to do with the latest version firmware. try with 5.0 it worked for me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190 download it from here. It should fix it but it will perform a factory reset. but no media data will be lost. once downloaded place it on the phone and head to settings->update_then little ... menu and local file.
hope this helps. I use google pay alot so a fix is a must, thought it was hardware issue
