Auto Home WiFi Connection

cobbler — Fri, 22 May 2015 20:11:59 GMT

Usually when I return home my phone will switch from mobile packet data to connect to my WiFi, however tonight it didn't, the wifi list showed my hubs name but it said out of range, after turning off phone then restarting it did connect, but why did I need to do this?

Phone isn't using stamina mode and is already set to automatically connect.

Disable stamina mode > restart the phone > check again.

Can I just confirm, you say disable stamina mode even though I wasn't using it?

I thought you said that stamina mode was on, if it's not then do you have any antivirus? taskillers? battery apps?

It's an app acting up, third party app

I don't have any third party applications installed.

But it works fine while on safe mode?

Works fine in normal mode most of the time.

Whenever it doesn't work, keep an eye on which apps are running

settings > apps > running

Under WiFi settings there is an option called Assign auto IP address if DHCP fails, is it safe to have this ticked?

Happened again tonight, got home no auto Wifi connection, checked Wifi settings and all previous connections were there but none were doing anything.

Why would it have anything to do with a third party app? all my apps are from Google Play store.
