Location based wifi error

So I have a Lollipop updated D6633.  From what I understand Sony got rid of the Location based wifi support with the new Lollipop release.  However I keep on getting an error message every so often as attached, showing that location based wifi has stopped.  I also attach what I think is a logcat.  Anyone else expereinced this problem?

Where is Location based Wi-Fi?
I our Android 5.0 Lollipop update the developers have worked hard on improving the power management, including Wi-Fi scanning. So there was no longer any reason for keeping Location based Wi-Fi since Android 5.0 has such improvements made to the Wi-Fi scanning.
Re-installing lollipop should smooth things out

  • Location based wifi not working as expected

    I would expect that location based wifi would either turn wifi off if not in a place with saved networks, or turn wifi on if arriving in a place with saved networks, but it does neither. I have tested this by turning wifi on when at home, then periodically checking status in places with no networks saved or open, and it's still on, and also by turning wifi off when away from home, then checking at home to see if it's turned on, and it isn't. So doesn't seem to be working either way. I have stamina mode active, and some people have said that location based wifi won't work with this.but most say works just fine, and would have expected Sony to say if different power saving options were incompatible. Always have location sensing GPS turned on. Often have mobile data off. Some have said that this is necessary for location based wifi to work, but others not, and to my way of thinking, location based wifi should turn wifi off whenever out of range of saved network, and add long as phone has some way of knowing where it is to wake up wifi, then it shouldn't matter which location modality it uses. Can anyone shed any light on this? Google's not being very helpful. Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    You do need to have data turned on and as such you must also have Stamina mode turned off for this to work sorry.

  • Location based WiFi not working

    When I'm not at home I keep my xperia WiFi turned off. When I come home it doesn't turn automatically on even if I got my home WiFi registered on my phone! I always have to do that manually. Of course I have the option ON in "location based WiFi". Could somebody help me, please?

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Location based wifi

    Hi!
    Am I just a thick **bleep** or is it selfexplanatory how to use location based wifi?
    Are you meant to have the Wi-Fi button ON or OFF when you're using location based wifi or is it meant to go on automatically when you are in the range of a certain wifi router? It states that it should "switch it on" whenever a configured network is within range but it doesn't.
    If it is meant to go on automatically when you are within in range of a certain network, how did it get there in the first place? Yes, I know, stupid question. You have to switch Wi-Fi on initially and tell the Z2 that this is a network that I want you to connect to.
    Anyway, perhaps some wizard can share some thoughts on this one...
    Regards
    Solved!

    Leave it ON when using Wi-Fi and forget when going out.. the system will turn it OFF automatically.
    If you wanna go back to Wi-Fi You need to turn the screen ON, cause Stamina mode is blocking any network operations.
    Unlock it for 3 - 5 sec till the wi-fi logo apears and you good to go.

  • Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

    I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
    1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons.  Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings.  They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store.  It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity.  The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
    2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network.  These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address.  Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker.  In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone.  Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
    3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
    There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
    The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location.  So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
    As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go.  Not great for privacy & security.  When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy).  But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option.  Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

  • Is it possible to have location based CDR and QoE in Lync 2013

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have location based recording for CDR and QoE on monitoring database?

    Possible?  Yes.  But you'll want to write your own report for it as what's native likely won't help you much.  Check out the user activity report, search for a user and drill into the detail on that call.  That takes you to the Peer to
    Peer Session Detail report for that call, if you expand Media Quality report, you can see the IPs on each end, the location as defined in Lync, the client types...  You'll just need to compile it into your own report for better readability.
    We do that as part of our Lync managed services offering, we have custom reports that outline call quality issues per subnet so you can see how the call quality of a particular branch or wifi VLAN compares to another.

  • TS4079 problems with siri using location based reminders

    When i tell siri to remind me to stop by the store when i leave work today i get a error message.  The message states my calendar service does not allow me to set location based reminders.  I thought this was something that siri does.  Any help fixing this problem is greatlhy appreciated.

    I had the same problem, after reseting the phone and restoring, it worked for a while. The root of the problem stems from using and Exchange mail account. The reminders are set to exchange tasks and it won't work for location-based reminders. The solution can be found at this link:

  • TS1398 Will not locate home wifi but if I turn on my mobile hotspot on my phone it finds it...Whats the deal

    Will not locate home wifi but if I turn on my mobile hotspot on my phone it finds it

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect to the home network?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Location based reminders no longer working

    I currently have a wifi only iPad air 2 And ever since getting this iPad I've never been able to CREATE location based reminders. Now I've owned every regular wifi only iPad's and in the past I've been able to create location based reminders so this is a change either within iOS 8 or something weird is going on with my device.
    I've restored as new twice and still nothing. The issue shouldn't be related to iPad being wifi only because u can create them via the web and via an iMac or even iPod.
    WIthin settings, privacy,  location services I don't have reminders listed and when I go to the reminders app I dont have any option that would prompt me to allow or deny location access which seems to be the issue. For example location services doesn't show calendar either until you go into the calendar and tap on add event and tap within the location field.
    Also within settings, privacy, location services, system services EVERYTHING is enabled.
    In my mind the issue is that I need to be able to tap on something within reminders to prompt me for location access however I'm not seeing anything. I also have an iPhone 6 plus and have no issues creating reminders and I've also reset location settings in the reset menu. The two restores I did this week consisted of a restore with the device and a restore with iTunes.
    I Can also create location based reminders on my iPad using the Workflow automation app which creates the reminder with location alert within reminders however when I go to the reminders app it doesn't show a location but when I check on my iPhone 6 plus the location shows up.
    BAffled.

    Yeah it's weird that I can create location based reminders via iOS Safari using desktop mode and use a third party app that syncs with reminders to create location alerts and I can create location based alerts in the calendar app but not reminders. Could have sworn in iOS 7 I could.

  • Devices and I are in one city but time zone and location based apps show devices location in another city

    iPad2 with IOS 8.1.2 located with me in Eastern Time Zone city but settings under General reflects Central Time Zone(Chicago).  All location based Apps are reflecting a Central Time Zone city, one that I have never visited.  I did an erase and restore of a backup prior to this issue but it was not resolved.  What do I do?         

    I am having a similar issue. I moved about 10-15 miles. Any app, such as Maps, a Weather, etc, that use location keep showing my current location as my old address. I'm interested in hearing the solution to your problem.

  • How to send location based push notification

    How to send notification from website to the devices in   particular latitude and longitude

    I assume you mean you want the backend to send push notifications to a group of devices based on their geographical location?
    In that case each device needs to register at startup with the notification service (Windows, Apple, Android, etc.), and get a handle, then register the information (along with its unique identification, such as account or phone number) with
    Azure's notification hub. It also has to send its geographical location and the backend needs to keep this information somewhere (in a table, for example). The device needs to periodically update the backend for its new location. When the backend has the need
    to send push notifications based on device's geographical location (based on a rectangular grid for example), then it has all the information to do it.

  • Location based reminders not working in IOS8 on iphone 5s, please help?

    Location based reminders are not working when using Siri since upgrading to IOS8. Asking Siri to "remind me when I get home" also turns off reminders in Location Services. Please help

    I have the same issue with Siri turning off the location setting for reminders.  In fact my location based reminders do not work at all. IPhone 5s, ios 8.1, upgraded to 8.1.1 and that did not fix these issues.
    SEems like Apple does not test the location setting every other upgrade to iOS. They break it, then fix it then break it etc...
