Wifi enable/ disable functionality not working (even with latest helper 1.14.apk)

[gauthambhat025]

Hey guys, Im on pixel with latest stable build. Wifi enable /disable used to work for me before the recent software update on Helper 1.10.apk. Now wifi enable/disable functionality is not working. The helper fails with the error 'Failed to set wifi state'. Screenshot attached. Used to work perfectly before the last software update. I also tried installing the latest helper 1.14.apk (using adb bypass install), granted all permissions, also granted adb secure settings permission. Still wifi functionality is broken. Pls help.

We have confirmed that Wi-Fi can be successfully switched in the following environment.
It is very likely that your settings are incorrect.

Pixel 8 Pro / MacroDroid v5.40.4 Pro / MacroDroid Helper 1.14

I too have the same version of both apps. I have tried restarting, force closing helper & main app but still unable to toggle. Any idea the reason for this error in the screenshot

Likely a permission error, check MD Helper permissions like nearby devices or wifi permission

All the permissions were given. Kindly help

If you uninstall the helper and then reinstall it, start the helper and grant all permissions, you should be fine.

Is there any mention of a wifi permission anywhere? What's your phone exactly?

Pixel 7 Pro. Stable build. Wifi control permission in special access is given. Screenshots attached. Is there any way I can share any detailed log or debug logs to analyse the cause?

Please check that you have disabled battery optimization on the helper app (this is essential else it won't work).

I found the reason. I was using system UI tuner in which I had tweaked airplane mode settings to not disable wifi. Apparently even after reverting the setting in system ui app, seems the setting still continued. I had to manually reset it using adb command - "adb shell settings delete global airplane_mode_radios" (as detailed in the xda link below)
Link of detailing the adb -
