Ok... so my friend is having issues withe her wifi calling not turning off. The app for it says its off but the process still runs and turns it on when wifi is on. It is a horrible battery drain for her phone. Is there a fix out there for this? I guess she already tried tasker to kill the process, but no luck. I don't funk this is just a problem with her phone, I know the vibrants were really buggy from the beginning... any ideas?
Same here
Thinking about getting rid of my Vibrant because I go through 3 batteries a day. WIFI calling is off but shows 1.25-1.5% use. This appears to be the process that shows running above all others and the highest, even above display percentages.
There are some apps on the market that will freeze it , like the donate version of titanium backup or bloatfreezer? Have to reboot after you freeze it.
Guys,
I updated my tab a few days ago. Now the market looks different but unfortunately I'm facing another irritating problem which I have no clue how to solve.
Every time that I turn off the tab, and let it be idle for 10 minutes, when I turn it back on, the WiFi icon will show no bars - which translates into no internet connectivity. That happens while the WiFi button is still pressed (green in the pop-up menu). In order for the device to connect to the net I need to turn the WiFi OFF and than ON and it works.
I checked the WiFi sleep configuration and they are set to "never turn it off" I also rebooted the device but with no change.
Please let me know what to do... as this thing sometimes just drives me crazy.
Thanks.

Flash a custom rom bro. Otherwise you are stuck with Samsung's awesome bugs. If you don't want to flash a custom rom there isn't really much you can do about it considering you're not rooted. What did you update to? KMP???
I did the regular Samsung update -the latest one that was released a couple of says ago. The problem with rooting is losing the coverage I have for insuring the device... which I'm reluctant to do. I'm sure it has a solution somewhere...
Yes I confirm.
This "reconnect" issue is being discussed on many forums with no solutions yet. (except custom ROM)
Hi Guys
I dunno if I am the only one that is suffering this problem as I haven't seen any posts about it but:
I use 2x Battery to save power over night when I am sleeping, and this turns off Wifi/Bluetooth and GSM/HSPA Data, and periodically will turn them back on every 2 hours to allow my phone to get emails and other notifications.
Since the introduction of Android 4.3 to my device, every couple of days I have to switch my device off and back on again because Wifi refuses to turn on. Exactly the same problem existed in 4.2 but instead with bluetooth refusing to turn on, which I might add has been fixed in 4.3.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Personnaly, i rather switch wifi and sync off in the night, coz i only have a look at my phone in the morning.
And i can tell that with last update (JR..Y) with data & wifi off, that the battery isn't draining more than 1% in 6 hours.
4.3 included several battery saving optimisation, have a look in the wifi advanced parameters...
Thanks for your input on battery saving methods but I'm trying to resolve a potential software issue with Wifi

Of course. But take care about the compatibility between your battery saver app, and you android's version... JWR66V ? Y ? JSS ?!
Are you sure they are both compatible ?
Did you try to wipe cache & dalvik, and reinstall your app ?
I think that it's your app that's not "aligned" with OS api's.
You can test Snapdragon Battery guru
I use Llama which is a real great app for controlling your phone and it does occur where it will not turn my wifi back on. With all the optimizations with wifi in 4.3 and battery saving I just decided to leave wifi on all the time. So far it has not caused any real noticeable drain maybe an extra 1-2% total
WiFi not turning on after android 4.3 update
Hey guys,
First time poster, long time reader.
Now I've been doing some hard searching on this issue but I don't think this problem has been completely addressed yet (Apologies if it has).
I updated to Android 4.3 today on my Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). The update seemed like it went smoothly but after it completed I noticed that the WiFi wasn't turned on. Once I click it looks like it loads and after a few seconds just stops. So I simply cannot get the wifi to turn on!!!
I've tried clearing the app cache, and looked at different forums but has anyone else come across this issue?!
Please help!!!
Thanks in Advance.
I had CM11 on my Nexus 4 and did a full wipe, then flashed the official Lollipop image (using flash-all.sh script). The process went smooth, without any problems.
Now, I am having WiFi issues. When I turn on WiFi from quick settings it changes the icon, but doesn't connect to the network yet. If I try to access WiFi settings it opens them up, but I can see only the actionbar and a blank white screen. No networks shown. Sometimes I even get "The app is not responding dialog". It sits like this for about 30-60 seconds and after that it connects to the network and I am able to access WiFi settings.
Sometimes I can't turn WiFi on at all. Quick settings don't change the WiFi icon to the ON state. If I try to turn it on from the Settings, the switch does literally nothing - not even "Turning WiFi on..." shows up.
I tried to reflash the system - still get these issues. Tried reflashing just the radio module - didn't fix it. No idea what to do. KitKat worked just fine.
Does anyone else have similar problems?
Same issues, but on a Nexus 10.
I have exactly the same issues as you, but on a Nexus 10. Running LRX21P 5.0 Lollipop.
+1
I used Wugfresh 1.9.6
Downloaded and installed LRX21T
Did a complete wipe (cache and factory reset)
Did a selective restore of ~75 apps from Google backup
Played with the machine for hours.
Rebooted, now got no wifi
Anyone suggest a workaround?
EDIT: I came across this post in the Nexus 5 Thread , where he suggests changing your router's channel to something below 12. I changed mine from 13 to 8 and now wifi seems to be working.
EDIT2: Sadly the above was a red herring. The problem seems more complex. Hopefully Google will release a fix soon

I don't think my problem depends on the available WiFi networks. But thanks for the response.
I have the exact same issues, Wifi doesn't turn on at all. It doesn't matter if I press the quick settings button or the button in the menu. It says Wifi on, but nothing happens. After the screen goes dark, Wifi turned itself off again.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

I'm having the exact same issue. Wiped with ADB and flashed LRX21T factory image from Google's website. No error codes during flash.
Wifi is great - if you leave it on all the time. As soon as it turns off, it will NOT turn on. I get no error message, no timeout like it usually does when Wifi isn't working properly, no crash report. Nothing. Just a stalled Wifi acting like it's turning on. If I exit Wifi settings page, and come back, it shows as being off. Turn it on, and it just hangs the same way.
So frustrating.
It's for sure not the network I'm on, as it also doesn't turn on when I'm not near Wifi, or when I'm at a friend's house. Rebooting the phones makes the Wifi work again...until it turns off for ANY reason. Then we're back at square 1.
I'm having this same issue...
My WiFi seems to turn itself off. Then there is no way I can get it to turn back on unless I reboot the phone.
Very frustrating.
I have the same issue.I sideloaded the OTA and everything went great,no errors during the installation.I was on stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Wifi it takes around 30 sec to connect to a network.If i click on the Wifi menu in the setting it usually freezes or I get a black screen.After that Wifi works fine,but another thing I noticed it doesn't remember new networks.I don't know if a factory reset would help...
Anyone find a solution yet? Did a factory reset eliminate the problem for somebody?
I got the same thing. Currently, I'm using Power Toggles to do the on/off setting.

Are you saying that Power Toggles fix the problem?
I'm facing a different issue. Whether I have WiFi on or off, it always appears active in the battery usage stats ('scanning always available' is off)
WiFi was off when the screen was off from about 3 am to 2 pm.

I am having the same issue. very frustrating. it was working perfectly last night on my home network, but now it wont connect to my work network. it has the same issues as everyone else. the wifi toggle will turn on, but it will not show any networks. then after a couple of seconds it will turn itself off.
^^i am having that issue as well. the battery usage stat page is showing wifi as on even though it is off.
Have the same issue. After some standby time, turning Wifi on again, it showed me networks where I am not close to anymore and didn't show me the actual networks where I am right now. This seems to be a serious bug that needs fixing. I don't want to reboot my phone to fix it. Didn't Google delayed the Lollipop-Update because of some Wifi issues?
I have all the symptoms listed in this thread. I filed a bug report too: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=80028&q=LRX21T
Found this thread when this problem popped up for me after flashing the factory images one by one. Might try to find a source-built ROM using a later version to see if it got fixed.

I'm at a loss here and i hope somebody can help me out here.
I've had my Note 4 for a while now, working great, but after a week or two after flashing Simpl-rom (latest)(Android 5.0.1) it started to drain battery while the screen was off.
I tried to debug this issue and found that WLAN_WAKE is preventing the device from sleeping.
Of course i did search for solutions but none of that worked, disabled all the background scanning and stuff in advanced wifi settings.
I tried to freeze all my regularly used apps planning to unfreeze them one by one to see when the issue started to show up, odd thing is, the issue persists even if i freeze all my daily-use apps.
I also noticed no networks in range show up in my Wi-Fi list, only the ones that i saved in the past (of course most showing out of range).
Using a 3rd party Wi-Fi manager works fine, it detects all the networks in range.
Disabling Wi-Fi allows the phone to go back to sleep again. However, when enabled again after that no more sleeping occurs.
The only "solution" to this is a full reboot. This solves the wakelock/batterydrain issue temporarily but not the Wi-Fi networks not showing up.
It can take 30 minutes before the issue shows up again or it can take half a day.
I also tried to detect if any apps were using background data, none that i could detect.
Even stranger, i have the exact same issue with my Galaxy S5 running Omega-rom (latest). (Android 5.0.1)
The drain on the battery isn't huge (10-15% per night), but it's there and unnecessary (i know it can do with 2-3% per night if the bug doesn't occur), obviously something is going wrong and i wish to find out what and resolve it.
Anyone experienced similar problems or knows how i can proceed to debug this issue?
I say issue because i feel these problems are related, they could be separate problems though..
