Any way to stop wifi roaming?

I only ever use wifi when I am at work or at home so I leave the wifi on however when I go out the roaming is active and it keeps asking me if I want to connect to random wifi hotspots. Is there a way to turn that off?

bump
I'd love an answer to that question too.

dont know if this will work......but in sound and notification, there's a notification for "wireless network detected"

Disable Notification Sound

Hello,
I apologize if I have missed this asked in the forum, or in the phone settings for that matter but is there a way to disable the notification sound on the phone. I seem to be getting notifications whenever it connects/disconnects my wifi or whenever it changes service from GPRS / Edge / 3G.... at least I believe this is whats causing the notifications as there is nothing noted in the notification bar. I have disabled the notification for "Network Notification" however this just means I don't get notified about open networks in the area.. it still notifies me when my home wifi connects.
Other than that I'm loving the phone! I was rocking a G1 with a Cyanogen ROM which was great but was looking for something to be a bit more snappy... I will say i've been very surprised at how snappy this is.

if you go under the 'mobile networks' area under 'wireless & networks', there is an option to play a sound when you go into roaming. also under the wifi settings there is a check box for a notification when an open network is available.
check that out, should solve the issue

Thank you i0nicx , i ended up stumbling upon this on my own but u are correct this is what fixed the issue :

Wi-Fi Network notification weirdness

I've noticed that my phone will pop up a dialog with all available Wi-Fi networks listed when I turn on the Wi-Fi using the toggle button on the Notification bar, even though I have the "Notify me when an open network is available" setting disabled in the Wi-Fi settings.
If I turn on the Wi-Fi using the checkbox in the Wireless Networks settings menu, the dialog doesn't pop up (like I would expect).
Can anyone else reproduce this on their phone? Seems like a TouchWiz bug to me.

I believe it is a bug. It happens to me every once and a while.

[Q] Make Android forget my WiFi settings

I want to get Android (and perhaps my google account) to forget all WiFi networks I've used. I can't remove them from Settings > Wireless and Networks > WiFi Settings because this menu no longer responds when I have WiFi enabled, and I can't see the list of networks when WiFi is disabled.
Anyone got any ideas?

neidlinger, you've just made my day. I've been trying to get this fixed for a while. It's caused all kinds of problems for me - one time it even randomly rebooted and removed all my widgets. Many thanks!

Stop auto-connecting to open wifi networks

I have a Nexus 4. I'm currently on 4.3. My phone auto-connects to every single open wifi network I walk past. Starbucks, McDonalds, Nordstroms, etc... every single one. I've tried both setting and not setting the "Notify me of open networks" option in the Wifi settings. No difference. Well there is, one setting just causes it to silently connect. I have NOT connected to these networks before. At the end of the day I have like 15 AP's queued up in my list that I have to delete.
This might be the most pants-on-head retarded design I have ever seen in a phone. I have only a few productivity apps on my phones. None of them meddle with wifi settings as far as I can tell. So, can anyone help me? Please don't offer me the advice of turning wifi off. I understand that is the kill-all for this, but it's akin to suggesting that longer battery life can be had by turning the phone off between charges. There has to be some option I am missing that is a never-connect-to-open option. I bounce between client offices all day and I need wifi to work smoothly.

Yup, same here. I've disabled the setting to notify me when an open notification is available, and it just connects to all and sundry, often causing me to lose connection with a server. Anybody aware of a fix for this? Do I need to root my Nexus 4 first?

WiFi 'scan/connects' with other networks.

Set your WiFi to be active on your network only, uncheck open networks, and select manage networks to a single AP, yours.
I manage a single connection on my Droid X, and 'forget' all other networks, and do not store any network data from these either.
This is the only way I am certain my phone will not look for other networks, but then again, you can turn off 'Update over WiFi only' as well.
Deselect anything that will cause the phone to look for a WiFi AP, but also remember that once done, your apps such as Email and FB may still attempt to update via the phone's network and not WiFi.
