I like what the smart wifi does and dont want to turn it off. however it always seems like right when im in the middle of something the stupid notification will pop up asking me if i want to connect to one of the available wifi hotspots. is there a way to get rid of the popup? all i want is for it to enable/disable wifi when i am getting close to my known wifi locations.
menu -- settings.. wifi.... smart mode~.... turn off.......

That doesn't do it, either. I have that disabled and have for a while. But I still get those popup's every now and then.

Hi, every time I turn off my WiFi connection, it turns itself on throughout the day. This way it drains out my battery really fast and clearly I don't like it, since I hardly ever use WiFi on my phone...
Anyone an idea? I might have overlooked some settings I just should have ticked, on or off.
Cheers

Do you have any automatic updates set up for example weather, stock, emails etc?
I'm running Titanium on 6.5, energy rom. I think you're talking about tf3d, or? How shall I do it?
I turned off the setting in the weather menu, 'download weather automatically'. Is that the option you were talking about.
Somebody please shine a light, since this kinda sucks ;'-)
edit: On top of the screen there's an icon with a G on it, sometimes it turns in a red wifi icon...Thought I should mention.
edit 2: And WiFi was just turned on again, magically. Argh!

Yes, this is what I was talking about. But you should also have a similar option for stocks (not sure about titanium as I don't use it), email and possible QuickGPS application if you use it.
Basically it sounds like something or some app is activating your wifi to come on as you have it setup to update automatically

You don't need the 4g toggle widget on. Even if it is off it will auto turn back on after a reboot.
I know, and it kills the battery how do I fix it? It keeps scanning

See first post.
Use the Wireless settings menu to enable and disable 4G. That will keep it from restarting after reboots.
How often do you reboot anyway? I'd certainly like to see a fix, but I don't have any problem just remembering to turn it off after a reboot if I don't want it on. It's a small price to pay to have more convenient access to 4G toggling (right in the notification screen, as well as in Quick Settings).

The issue isn't just remembering to turn it off, there's another issue here. The evo doesn't turn off 4g correctly. Test it yourself. Turn off 4g, then wait a while, and check an alogcat log. You'll see that it still tries to connect and scan for 4g every few minutes, only to end up erroring out (because 4g was turned "off"). This is a potential battery drainer also.

I tried a couple of apps or widgets for airplane mode, but for some reason I couldn't even get them working. Could someone recommend a good app/ toggle / widget?
Also is there any app or widget to turn off the N4 cellular signal receiver?

long press the power button?
^this, or pull down the notification centre with two fingers.
Did you try Widgetsoid?
I do the "Power Button" for Airplane Mode.
For Mobile Data:
Widgets > Settings shortcut > Data usage
When you open it, you can turn on and off Mobile data, and still use WiFi and receive calls and SMS messages.
Didn't Google prevent non root apps from activating/deactivating airplane mode with Android 4.2? I just use Tasker with the secure settings plugin
Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I really appreciate it...
I still haven't found one app that would allow me to put a toggle on the home screen so that with one touch I can turn off or on the airplane mode. It seems all the suggestions require two or more touches?
Is there any toggle that with one touch on the home screen I can turn off/on the whole mobile network (not just data but also calls/messages) with wifi remaining on? I can't believe such a thing doesn't exist!
Try "Widgetsoid" or "Extended Controls". Been using them heavily before and they work pretty well. Although I havent tried recently since I went with a minimalist home screen.
Try power toggles.. U can add a lot of new ones in settings

Am I the only one wondering why he thinks having to do 2 touches actually is a problem?

thanks for your opinion. OK, not a big deal with two touches for the airplane mode. Care to share your experience regarding the following question?
Is there any app with which one can turn off/on the whole mobile network (not just data but also calls/messages) with wifi remaining on, regardless how many touches involved?

I use power toggles and the airplane toggle is not a true toggle. It takes you to the menu.

So this so-called "Smart" Wi-Fi is getting to be a pain.
It pops up when I am in car mode, and other times when I have specifically have TURNED OFF Wi-Fi.
Why on earth would a Wi-Fi-related app even run when I have done that?
Any way to get rid of it or is that the only way it manages Wi-Fi?

Just turn it off, settings, then more, then applications manager, then find it and turn it off.
is it possible to reset the database used for the "Smart mode" Wi-Fi option? When I first got my device I remember after a day or so the Wi-Fi would automatically turn on if I was in the vicinity of my home and my parent's home. Now it won't turn on in either locations, however it will turn on in certain locations "randomly" that do have Wi-Fi... for example today at work it would turn on several times after turning it off and entering certain floors that carried Wi-Fi. There has to be a database of some sort or a way to reset it so the only two locations that matter to me, home and parent's home, get preference to "Smart mode". any suggestions?
Theoretical, haven't tried it, but try this -
Settings / More / Application Manager / All / Sprint Connections Optimizer -
Force stop
Clear cache and data
reboot
thanks for responding, unfortunately I do not see "Sprint Connections Optimizer" even under the All tab in Application Manager. I'm on 4.3 if that makes any difference...
That's Really Odd....

I don't have the Sprint Optimizer as well. I found this thread because the "do you want to use smart mode" (paraphrasing) pops up all the time for me despite the fact that I always have it enabled. It's quite annoying when it pops up in the middle of the night and lights up the entire bedroom. Anyone else suffering from this deluded feature?

Hmmm.... I have a 720T on 4.3. Could be the culprit/difference. Can't investigate what I don' t have.
And I'm holding off on updating...

anyone know how this smart mode thing works? should I leave wi-fi on all the time and let it do its thing or what? seems like with this option on, wi-fi keeps turning on even when I turn it off.
By any chance, is this setting in WiFi / Advanced what you're looking for?

thanks for this link! never noticed that specific option in the advanced part of the wi-fi settings. wonder how true it is when the article states that leaving this option on saves battery versus firing up the GPS chip. I understand GPS would suck more, but would it do it silently at the app's request even though the app isn't running in the foreground? Anyway, this setting might be intertwined to the Smart mode Wi-Fi option, however Smart mode Wi-Fi is a separate option along with this one you pointed out... which kind of raises more questions!
