Hi - I searched this forum and found lots of wifi not turning on. My situation is the reverse - has anyone seen their wifi turning on automatically? It seems something is causing wifi to turn on. It seems some data service - cause it turns on when my cell data is turned off - like when I pick up a phone call. Some service is not getting data from the cell network and so they turn on wifi. It's a pain and it drains my battery. Anyone seen this and has a potential work around?
Thanks in advance. -fm

I was just posting exactly the same question...
I have the same problem, like 5 minutes ago: my phone was in roaming (due to lack of signal for my operator in the office), pushmail is off, but suddenly the wi-fi turned on...
Any hint?

Folks,
I use the WiFi connection on the Exec a lot, pretty much all day every day in fact. The problem is I have to change the power settings of the phone to never shut down otherwise when it does, the WiFi connection gets dropped and the a GPRS gets established instead - and that costs!
Is there anyway to prevent the WiFi getting dropped when the phone shuts down? Or maybe a way of making WiFi a priority over GPRS so it will connect that first?
I suppose worse case scenario, I could disable the auto connect feature of GPRS, anyone remember the hack for that?

Hi, there's a hack for that in the following thread:

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. I'm sure that this must have been discussed but I cannot find the answer using search. As is surely normal, I use WiFi within the home and GPRS when there is no WiFi available. If WiFi is connected and I go out for a short while, then when I get back in a WiFi area, the WiFi is still connected. However, if I go away for a long time, and GPRS is used for perhaps a regular weather update, then the WiFi disconnects and has to be manually reconnected upon return to home. This leads to GPRS being used in a WiFi area unnecessarily if you forget to re-connect WiFi. Is there a WiFi connection timeout value or any other setting that can be changed? My old TyTN II did not have this problem. Thanks.
Try this CAB
It disable disconnecting WiFi when phone is in sleep mode and with this phone automaticly connects to WiFi when Leo will be in range.
Thanks Franq_23_pl. I think that the CAB just stops WiFi disconnecting when the device is in sleep mode. That will just drain the battery, surely? My old TyTN used to disable WiFi when in sleep mode, but as soon as you switched it on again, WiFi would be enabled and it would connect if in range. The problem with my HD2/Leo is that if I am away from my WiFi for some considerable time (ie, most of the day), then when I get back home and switch the device on, WiFi is disabled, and I have to manually toggle in on. So my question is..... What are the circumstances that cause WiFi to disable itself, and Is there some way of stopping it happening?
OIC now. I think you having some battery saving app and this app turning off WiFi when iz not used. What apps or registry mods you have installed on Leo?
You have the same behavior after hard reset?
My Leo don't disable WiFi. When i go outside (for ex to work) and back after few hours my Leo connecting to my home wireless network automaticly.
I remember, that i had the same problem like you and it was caused by app, which had duty to save battery.
Hey
I am guessing this is a software/app/os issue, but it is noticeable on the LG V20 thanks to the second screen.
Recently I have noticed that wifi and bt turn on while the main screen is off. When I turn the screen on, they both turn off like naughty school kids caught smoking. This is obviously when I am not using wifi or bt.
I have scoured the settings looking for something that can stop this from happening, but nothing so far. Wifi has a setting where it says, "keep wifi on while in standby", with three options, I have tried all three of them, and nothing is preventing this from happening.
I enjoy controlling these functions, and get anxious when it happens automatically. Anyone with advice?
I think I have found the solution. I had the app Firechat installed which uses Bluetooth and WiFi to transmit data to other devices. I have uninstalled it now and it seems that WiFi and bt have stopped turning on automatically.

Anyone else? My wifi will shut off after about 30 seconds and I have those same settings set to keep on. I even tried after a factory reset and still having this issue.
I have the same problem,if the Bluetooth is on I have high latency wifi and conectivity loss, this only fix if I power off the bluetooth

I am also running into this issue. The only way I can get my wifi to connect to my home router is by restarting my phone. Otherwise the rest of the time, I see a message stating that my wifi is disconnected, when it clearly was not, it was even showing me nearby routers that I could connect to, but not my own router, even when i tried to add my router manually, it could not connect. I am having the same issue with Bluetooth connections. My laptop can sometimes see my phones Bluetooth, but my car can't find it at all. I'm on AT&T H910, running on DESOLATION 7.1.2
The wifi setting "turn on wifi automatically" in the advance settings use to work like a champ but for some reason it won't turn off when i'm outiside of my wifi signal range. I can turn off wifi manually and when i get within a saved wifi signal it will turn wifi on.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any advice will be appreciated!
My WiFi never turned off automatically on its own. I had to create Bixby Routines to turn WiFi off after leaving my apartment and turn it back on when I got home.
My phone would constantly be connecting to any available XFINITY Hotspots which is probably why that setting never worked for me the same way it worked for you.
Could your phone be doing something similar and connecting to Hotspots or open WiFi networks without you realizing it?
Mine has never turned off automatically either, it does turn on automatically when im in range, but i have also setup Bixby routines so im not sure if it turns off automatically now or not.
My hot spot is disabled but before this last update my wifi would turn on and off automatically. Oh Well luckily we have bixby routines lol
Thanks guys!
