ISSUE IN Z2 after Lollipop Update: Wi-Fi always On

[asaswin]

I'm using Xperia Z2, and this week I've update it into official Android Lollipop 5.0.2 through PC Companion. However, after the update installed, i seen a horrible WiFi problem: It's "always on". Even after I turn off scanning always available option on Advance Setting, the WiFi still on, as seen from the Battery Usage. This problem makes my Z2's keep awake and taking a huge battery loss. Could you please give me a solution for this problem? Thank you for your answer.

You cannot disable it? Have you tried to tap on the quick settings icon? Can you check if in safe mode the same occurs?

I've tried to turn it off from quick settings icon, I tapped it to "off" with slash on the Wi-Fi icon, it keeps running as seen from the Battery Usage graph.

Unfortunately, when I turn on the safe mode, the problem was still there. The Wi-Fi is off for a minute. Just as suddenly, it's back on again.

 The Battery Usage Graph shown the phone is awake in the background, even if screen is off and stamina mode on.

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).

@kju: I have uncheck it. Nothing works, the Wi-Fi keeps on. 

@A2k: When i'm using Kitkat version, I never found any problem, it was flawless. I'll try to repair the software now.
