There seems to be a common theme with the V20.. Wi-Fi issues! Weak Wi-Fi signal, Wi-fi connection dropping and reconnecting, Wi-Fi constantly searching and no way to disable it. I'm having all these problems and would like to find a solution "If there is one" I think I read somewhere else that its a Android 7 bug??? Is this true? Does ANYBODY have a solution to the V20 Wi-Fi issues?
It is driving me nuts while streaming Tidal and the music is always hanging or stops and gives me the error "Internet Connection lost"..

I hope so!
Please and thanks!

P.S. - I think the problem is that the V20 is ALWAYS searching for a Wi-Fi connection - It should stop searching for a connection once its connected - and... we should be able to disable this "WiFi Searching"

Hi, There are these Wifi/ Bluetooth scanning settings that are located under the "lock screen and security" settings. I just stumbled across this not that long ago, then I went looking for it and couldn't remember where it was. I put the screenshots in the right order - - - >> lock screen and security / location / scanning. Kind of a bizarre place to put these settings. I don't know if this will help you but for FWIW.

Hello, Thanks for your response and trying to help but those settings are only related to "GPS" WiFi scanning. What I'm referring to is when you enable WiFi it will continue scanning for a connection even after a connection is found. Thus draining battery and "I think" creating the WiFi issues that plague the V20
