Turn on WiFi Automatically not working?

[RTD212]

Thanks for the reponses. I may give it a try. I've always left wifi on and never thought anything about it.

Does this help battery life any?

I think it does. Now it's not working again so idk! Anyone else get it to work again?

Yes it does improve battery life I should have mentioned that. I got a second January OTA update today so hopefully it's fixed I don't have the time to try a factory reset. When it's working it's a real convenience and would add some level of security.

Thanks again! I've been using it for the past few days and so far it's been working fine. I don't seem to be having any issues with it that I can tell.

 

[D.P.G.]

Yes it either works or not no in between unfortunately mine stopped with the Android 11 update and still doesn't function. I was hoping the second January update I received a few day's ago would fix it but no luck. I am out of option's to try and don't have the ambition to do a full factory reset.

Me too! It's amazing how these companies charge $1300 for a phone and the basic functions just stop working after an "update". Note 10 and this phone were working flawlessly until this last update. So many issues with battery, bluetooth, MMS, wifi on automatically. And I already did a factory reset. Wth... Hey Samsung if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!! I would have got the S20 ultra but the idiots at Samsung thought it would be smart to remove the SD card slot. What is wrong with the people? I'm mean really!!?? ......ok rant is over feel better now

Very well said I agree 100% with your rant at Samsung it's deserved. One would think at the very least an update wouldn't stop Samsung features from functioning. I wasted my time trying to call Samsung that was an hour I will never get back, I'm no genius but I can say I was much better informed than their so called tech who was searching Google and trying to read what he found. Twice I told him I just read that a few minutes ago and he didn't even come up for air then he wanted to remotely log into my phone I'm not that dumb. Then he started reading from this forum and quoting mustang.

I guess I spoke to soon.

It's taking along time to turn wifi on in known places such as home causing delays in me receiving important work related info. I went back to having wifi on all of the time, it may not be ideal but at least I know that works.

When it works properly it's fantastic it would have the WiFi turned on as soon as I drove into the garage before I could enter the house and the same at work as soon as I parked WiFi would be on before I entered the building. After leaving both places it would take a few minutes to turn off. Mine still doesn't work at all.

same issue here. worked amazingly until last update, now just a waste of time. come on samsung get on it!!!

Since Android 12 update it has worked perfectly. Actually, it was working before I cleared the cache and data out of the maps app and that fixed it.
