My wifi is stuck on - I click turn off wifi in connections, and nothing happens, just the whirly progress thingy for a few seconds, but the wifi does not turn off. I also can't see the list of available wireless networks in the sense UI, only if I go to the old WM wifi app, but I can't turn off wifi from here either. Any ideas??
turn the phone into plane mode and then turn it back off.
Still not able to turn off wifi
OK, so I go into plane mode, everything turns off EXCEPT wifi is greyed but still ON! Can't select it to turn it off. Then go to settings, all settings, wifi - "turn on wifi" is ticked. I untick it, but wifi does not turn off after I click ok. Go back in and it is still ticked - so unticking it had no effect!
Something to do with Wifi Monster?
I installed Wifi Monster, which did not work, prior to this problem. My wireless card was not detected, so I uninstalled it. Since then, I have not been able to turn wifi off. Is this a coincidence?

Yes I have searched for this but I just get threads that tell you how to put a quicklink on to turn them off. Basically everytime I unlock the phone it automatically connects to 3G, how can I turn this off?
TIA
Still got this problem, it seems to happen when I get texts or calls as well. The display will
light up and connects the 3G, even happens overnight and uses a lot of the battery. I've turned all the auto stuff off but it still does it! Any ideas???
to stop 3g altogether you can try.... settings menu all settings connections advanced networks and disable hsdpa.
Hello to all I have the following problem: When the phone goes in standby i noticed that after a few minutes the phone disconnects from the internet then resume immediately as soon as I touch the phone and the screen turn on.
I have this problem with both Wifi and with the data connection.
I tried to solve the problem with the wifi option enabled in (Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced -> Wifi sleep policy) setting it to Never. But I notice that practically when i wake up the phone from standby , he is not using the wifi connection , but the data connection, and after a few second he will re-connect to wifi.when I'm not using more wifi, but the data connection.
From what I understand after X minutes in Stand by Android will disable the wifi and uses the data connection, and when i "wake up" the phone by turning the phone screen after a few seconds reconnects with wifi.
It 'really frustrating to have internet to that goes "on and off" especially when i am at work and the signal for the data connection is not present, in this case i can't even receive email or whatapp message when the phone in in stand by
Is there a way to force the phone to always use wifi even when it is in standby mode without the "support" of the data connection?
Hi!
up please
well actually if wifi policy is set to never, it should NEVER turn wifi off when the phone is in stand-by (at least it doesnt turn off on my phone), thats just how it works.. have u tried turning ur data connection off ? does it still disconnect ?

If i disable the data connection, the wifi connection just turn off after x minutes when the phone is in the stand by (even if i set to "Never" the wifi sleep policy) and will turn on after few second when i turn on the display. So what can be the problem?
N.B. I have DISABLED all "power save" option and there IS NOT such app like "battery safe" etc...,i have also tried to reset my phone. But the problem is always the same.

Well, actualiy, the policy says: "Keep Wi-Fi ON durung sleep", so you should set it to "Always".
So, did you fix the problem?
Hi,
Verizon Galaxy S4, with Hyperdrive 17.1 installed. Been using Hyperdrive for several months with no issue.
Today, after using the Hotspot, I tried turning Wifi on. It gave me the prompt "Turning on Wi-Fi will turn off Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Continue?" as expected. I selected yes, and the Wifi icon turned to green "ON" for a second, then the "Hotspot Activated" notification popped up again and Wifi switched backed to "OFF".
I then tried to disable Hotspot on my own first. Any time I try to turn Wifi on, it immediately activates Hotspot.
I renamed all of the files under /data/misc/wifi, the Wifi AP settings and Hotspot settings look default, and it still pops up the Hotspot Activated immediately after turning Wifi on.
Rebooted, wiped caches, took out battery, no luck.
Is there a script somewhere that's triggering on Wifi on and turning Hotspot on automatically? Where might a script like that live?
So ever since the 911 update I've noticed that wifi is always running, no matter what. I go to wifi settings and turn wifi off, but in the batter stats it is running the entire time my phone has been discharging.
It may have been happening before the 911 update, but I'm not certain.
Wifi Scanning was turned on. Doh.
Go to location, menu, scanning, uncheck
Root and get AF Firewall - manage the connections via a rooted firewall app.
As the title suggests, my phone will not connect to known WiFi networks if I do not wake the phone myself.
Image being away from home, having both mobile data and WiFi enabled. The screen is off throughout the whole time and when I reach home it is supposed to connect to my WiFi. Instead, it connects to my WiFi only if I wake the phone. If I leave the phone sleeping (standby) it will stay on mobile data, unless I wake the phone myself.
Is this regular behaviour?
PS. The phone has not problem retaining connection to WiFi networks when sleeping. It just won't make a new connection even to know networks.
There is a setting in wifi settings under advanced where you can change how and when the wifi must be on/off.

If you mean "Keep WiFi on during sleep", I have it enabled already!
Have you played around with power saving settings?
