Constantly have wifi turning on.
Have not updated to KK and have just been bypassing the install. Not rooted or anything, completely stock. Started happening a week or so ago and my apps automatically update through google play. Is there any ideas?
I've checked/unchecked/rechecked every single option in wifi/data/network that may pertain to keeping the wifi on. None of them have worked and it still does it. Is there any way to figure out what app is ticking wifi on and off through a log file or anything?
See above,their problem was avast.
Stop auto update in market settings.

Settings - WiFi - Advance - Untick Scanning Always available
Have checked/unchecked/rechecked and still does.
Check your GPS settings, set them to GPS only. If there's an app that use an active GPS for location services, and GPS is set to WiFi + GPS, it turns on the WiFi.
As for auto updating apps, you can disable that in Google Play's settings. (Which does mean you need to update them manually).

Yes am wondering how can i turn wifi completely off??
If i use google maps and then i go back to home ..i can see the wifi widget toggle says that is 'turning off' yet..i had gone to settings and specify for it to be turn off?
I had gone to settings too and specify to only receive data from gps and not wireless (just in case is trying to scan for a wifi router)
so has any body come across this? or has anyone found a solution for this?
It's a bug with the current firmware, when you open google maps the wifi is enabled to help fix your location faster, it doesn't matter if you disabled it in the settings. It seems fixed in newer fw versions.
I noticed the same behaviour on my SGS too, but it's not due to Google Maps.
Everytime when I use the phone, the first few seconds it tries to turn off wifi. I made sure wifi is off everytime I finished using the phone or when I'm not in a wifi zone to save some battery.
This is pretty annoying.
i dont think this is a SGS specific problem, possibly an app is doing this but cant figure out which one, during the day usually when i take out of sleep the wifi will come on for a moment then switch off, other times it stays on.
I have uninstalled Locale, and now use tasker but there are no settings I have entered for wifi, is there a way of figuring out which app could be doing this?
I have the some problem and don't know what it is
You can go to options and then go to wifi advanced options
(I have a Dutch phone so i don't know to correct name on English language on your phone)
you can select "never go to sleep" or somthing like that.
But is still have the problem
I'm also finding that I have to detach/reattached the wifi connection quite regularly. I'm using it on a 'n' network.

this is bug in the system.. it is the location doing.. it any app trying to get your location.. you are supposed to be able to turn it off by unchecking use wireless to determin location under wifi.. but it does not always seem to work.
I think the problem is with Google Maps (or Navigation, I don't remember). When I open it and starts to fix my location, the wifi will turn on althought I disabled in the settings the use of wifi networks to help the GPS. In theory, when you close GMaps/Navigation the wifi will turn off, but sometimes it will just leave it on.
It doesn't happen with other GPS apps like GPS Status, etc...
Will check what happens with Sygic later!
yes i have also tried unchecking check wireless networks for location, maybe switch off latitude?
its really bugging me as sometimes it gets stuck on switching off and you then cant do anything, and if you really do need wifi have to restart phone.
edit: switched off latitude, see if this is the culprit
I don't think Latitude has anything to do. I never used it and I have the same problem.
i have the same problem! its sooo annoying...
For the record, i'm using firmware XXJF3
If someone is using a newer firmware please check if the bug is already fixed.
not fixed in jf5 or jf7
just had to reboot stuck turning off. if anyone has a workaround or what service to kill to do so without rebooting please post.
I have all sorts of problems with wifi... keeps turning itself on when I disable it, keep losing connection, drains battery, locks the phone up (i think its wifi doing this) etc...
I tried wifi fixer app, and you can see how many times it disconnects/reconnects even after disabling sleep etc

i have location with wifi on. it disconnects automatically only when i'm not in the range of a saved network. Then it will connect to this network and stay connected
Any one else have any theories on how to fix this?
I think the problem is with the "Use wireless networks" setting not taking any effect on the phone (I have it disabled).
Having wifi turned off, if I open some GPS app wifi will turn itself on automatically. I think it is because it searches for nearby APs to fix the location more quickly. The problem is that the location is not as exact as with pure GPS. When I quit the app wifi will turn off automatically. This happens even if I have unchecked the above system setting.
A workaround that worked for me was to disable wifi AFTER opening the app that uses GPS, and the location was more precise.
Note that I tried this with Google Maps and Sygic Mobile Maps, so it seems like a system-level bug rather than app bug.
Anybody has noticed the same behavior?
My wifi is very annoying.
Every few minutes while I use e.g. the internet browser the connection just dies.
It often happens during loading of a web page or updating in the weather app.
My solution so far is to tun wifi off and on again, then it will work for another few minutes before it suddenly hangs again.

I have exactly the same issue. Which network system do you use? My router supprts "n" standard, maybe that cause the issue?
I think I might have fixed it by first turning it on and then turning it off(wireless location that is). Never managed to open up Google Maps before without the phone enabling wifi as well.
EDIT: Oh, and I'm running the custom ROM from Modaco.

Tried it on stock ROM version JF3 and still the same issue.
Regarding MCR, I didn't see in the info on modaco forum anything related to this GPS issue, maybe Paul fixed something without knowing?

Why GPS issue? thought this thread is about Wi-Fi Internet connection issue?

Could be, but most importantly - Google Maps is finally usable again(for me at least)! Did you enable the "Use Wireless Networks" option and then open up google maps or did you just toggle it quickly?
Ok over the last couple months my Wifi will randomly connect on its own. I have checked about every setting I can find and checked any new apps installed and cannot find what it turning it on. I have searched through about a dozen threads about this but have not found an answer. I will turn it off and not even 2 seconds later it will turn it on again. Im tired of this. Esspecially at work since the proxy filter blocks a lot of websites/content so i have to keep it on 3g connection.
Any insight or hidden settings to make it only turn on when I manually connect (yeah i know....)
I am running on the R2D2 2.3.3 version (2nd to last firmware update)
FXR
I fixed that on my CM7 D2 by using FXR WiFi Repair. Don't forget to reboot.
I'm pretty sure that's what fixed it, but at the same time I used Startup Manager to turn off a bunch of stuff that may have somehow made a request for WiFi. iHeart Radio and stuff like that.
It will delete all your hotspots...

Hi,
my bluetooth suddenly is turning on for some reason i don't know today. I don't know how it is turning on. any way to track which apps is doing this?
I tried to check on settings >> applications >> application manager >> change system settings but there are too many apps that is enabled and I don't know which app is really causing the bluetooth to turn on.
any other method to know how?
Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find out how to repair this?
Are you using Good Lock?
Good Lock, uses a location base to change toggles.
I have mine setup so when i leave the house Bluetooth comes on.
When i get to work, Bluetooth goes off and silent mode is activated.
When i leave work, Sound is loud and bluetooth is active again.
When i get home, it will turn off Bluetooth and enable Wifi.
(Just incase you are using Good Lock) It was puzzling me for ages until i went in and configured it properly.

for my case, i found out it was because of the Mi Fit app. When I restart the phone, the bluetooth is not turning on. but when I open the Mi Fit app, it will not always auto turn on the bluetooth.
Check if you have this app.
My bluetooth is turning on only when my screen is off. When I turn the screen on I see bluetooth icon, and after unlock, icon disappear. Sometime, when I doesn't wait on lock screen, but unlock phone immediately bluetooth remain on. I attach list of all my apps.
Is there any app that shows apps which are using bluetooth?
I'm on stock ROM with root, xposed and twrp.
Well a good way would to individually check all the apps, who knows maybe you'll get lucky and it will be the first one you try. Or i recommend just going through the ones that use Bluetooth commonly eg if you have like a smart watch that connects to your phone.
I make a full wipe yeasterday, and problem remains. BetterBatteryStats shows that bluetooth is linked with turning screen on (see screenshot).
I have XPrivacy, how can I set to always asks to use bluetooth?
I uninstalled half of all my apps, and nothing changed.
Did you tried to wipe apps data? Go to app manager, choose view of system apps, and find anything involved with BT, as I remember I had 3 or 4 in my Galaxy S5.
As I said before I made full wipe. Can I get any information from btsnoop_hci.log?
Did you found problem just after wipe (on a clean ROM)? Or after restore apps?
At first startup, phone restore my apps. so I can't it is system app or installed from google play.
Ok so IMHO it's not bad idea to delete app data of some BT applications from app manager.
How can I find which app is using bluetooth?
Names starts with "bluetooth" and contains "bluetooth" ex. sharing bluetooth (udostępnianie).
Ok, done. I have 4 apps: Bluetooth MIDI Service 6.0.1, BluetoothTest 6.0.1, Bluetooth Sharing 6.0.1 and com.see.knox.bluetooth (which was uninstalled, because it's grey in titanium backup).
Ok, keep the fingers crossed! This helped me with my old S5 - maybe will be helpfull to you.
Unfortunately no effect for me.
Clear also data of google play services.
I update to the the latest firmware ( G935VVRS4APH1) and now my mobile hotspot does not work. I am not rooted or anything. I turn it on, it says checking subscription status, then says turning off mobile hotspot right away. Any ideas?
Have you subscribed to mobile hotspot?
I use FoxFi to use the hotspot app for free.
I'm pretty sure it's included - it only stopped working after the firmware update. I'll call Verizon if they have any ideas. I could reformat but I'd really rather not.

They will probably ask you to reset. I'm guessing you don't have unlimited data, they make me pay to use the hot spot.

I'm having this issue as well after upgrading to the latest firmware. When I enable the hotspot, I get the same "checking subscription status" message, it turns off my wi-fi, then turns off the hotspot and gives me the "turning off hotspot" message. It also does NOT turn my wi-fi back on; I have to do that manually and sometimes multiple times to get it active.
I spent a while on the phone with Verizon yesterday trying to get it fixed, and in the end was told to do a full factory reset. I did that and had the hotspot working briefly, but then it stopped again. I sure hope there's another option for fixing this besides a full factory reset. It's painful reconfiguring my phone back to the way I like it.

Well, believe it or not I think I've found the culprit. By default, both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled for scanning for nearby devices. On my phone, with Wi-Fi turned off, I could see the Wi-Fi icon flicker briefly each time a scan was performed, and I had a suspicion that it was triggering the hotspot to shut down. In the System Settings menu, when you select the "Wi-Fi" option, there's a link below the on/off switch that takes you to a menu where you can selectively enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for nearby scanning. When I disabled Wi-Fi, my hotspot feature started working properly and even automatically re-enabled Wi-Fi when I turned off the hotspot.
I can no longer get to the menu to re-enable Wi-Fi scanning, unfortunately, so I can't truly verify that it's the cause of the issue. But my phone is working normally now, so I'm happy.
EDIT: I've now spent a couple of hours with both Samsung and Verizon attempting to get them to reproduce the issue I'm having with the inability to get back to the menu where you can discretely control wi-fi and bluetooth scanning and they are apparently unequipped to do so. How these folks can support this phone without having one available to test with is beyond me. Well, actually, they're not doing a very good job supporting it, so I guess that just proves my point.
Your the man! It fix my phone. This is after I spent a useless hour on the phone with Verizon and they had me do a factory restore, which of course, did not fix it. Disabling WiFi scanning did it.
