Randomly getting password prompt for wifi Volla 22
-
Since upgrading, I am getting randomly prompted for my wifi password, even though it is saved. It tend to happen when my phone screen is turned off. It will turn my screen on, prompt for password and never turn off until I intervene, wasting battery. Hitting the cancel button and going into wifi options and selecting my wifi will not prompt me for a password, meaning it is indeed saved.

@patlefort have you turned the device off and then back on? (Not a restart).

I will try. I didn't know powering it off and on was different from restarting. I noticed that after doing so, when I selected my wifi, I got prompted for a password and the name of the wifi was suffixed with a
1. So I went and made it forget all wifis. -
@patlefort Please specify which smartphone in the title.

@domubpkm It won't let me edit but it's a Volla 22.
Also it didn't fix it. It's completely misbehaving now. On boot, it won't detect any network until I disable and re-enable wifi. After that it's very random, sometimes it will save pas password, sometimes it wont. Sometime it will ask for a password even if it is saved. Right now I have 2 wifi icons but only one that's connected in my wifi list.
I notice I have 2 wifi devices:
wlan0andwlan1and they are both connected with an IP address but they both have the same MAC address. That's not normal, what could be generating that second wifi device? I can circumvent the problem by disabling one of them withnmcli d set wlan1 managed offandnmcli d set wlan1 autoconnect off. However I still have to disable and re-enable wifi on reboot. -
@patlefort Have edited the title.
