WiFi randomly enabling itself

In the morning before I go to work I usually disable WiFi as I don't use it at work and would like to save a little battery. However, I've noticed that throughout the day, I'll check a notification and see that WiFi has turned on without me turning it on myself. I can't see any pattern or correlation that would match up with this. Does anyone know what would cause this? I factory reset last night (due to an unrelated issue) and it's still occurring. I only have a couple of extra apps installed, Falcon Pro and reddit sync.

i think power saving mode sometimes enables wifi when its available... not sure how often this happens or if thats even the issue you're having but check the power save mode settings... 3g and 4g use more power than wifi

I don't have the power saving settings enabled, and I don't see any setting that resembles that kind of behaviour.

So at some point while I was driving home from work WiFi enabled itself again (I didn't even touch the phone). I'm wondering if it may be S Beam causing it? I haven't actually used it but it's the only thing I can think of that would need to actually turn WiFi on. I may try turning it off tomorrow morning when I turn WiFi off and see if that stops WiFi from randomly enabling.

Galaxy S4 Wifi auto enable
Is there a resolution for this? I heard that on the S3 it would pay attention to what cell towers you are using and if it recognizes you are in an area where you have used wifi before it will enable and connect. This seems to be the symptom that I am seeing and it's bad for me. It keeps trying to connect to my work network because occationally I log on so I can access materials. but when I want to listen to Slacker Radio I can't because it's blocked. This is a cronic problem for my phone and I'm not able to find out how to disable it.

if you have got any battery saving apps delete them

WiFi message

Whenever I am on wifi i get a constant connect message like it just reconnected. Is that normal? is it actually disconnect/reconnecting? or is it just reminding me its connected? does anyone know or have the same experience? Thanks

Good question, same thing happens to me

I do too. I believe it's actually disconnecting and reconnecting.
Make sure that wifi isn't set to turn off when the phone is sleeping (screen off)

I also experience this. I have "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to "Always". Now after 5 days or so, I'm getting "Your Internet is unstable" messages. Internet is fine for all other devices.

Same here and I also checked the box under advanced options to auto switch.

Thanks for your replies. So far I am thinking this is a bug or fault. It seems when I am trying to connect to Google Play many times while this thing keeps restarting the wifi radio, it also shows a "not connected, please retry" message as well.or it just kind of 'hangs" hehe yep kind of in an unready state upon delivery im guessing well i actually think its a touchwiz issue more so than an aosp problem...

It also happened to me but I went on to uncheck "Wi-Fi notifications" in the Advanced settings in Wi-Fi and it stopped notifying me every time it "reconnected" if that's actually what it's doing.

And you sir are a genius. Thank you so much

The point is two fold, stop the notification and find out why it constantly disconnecting

[email protected]$$ Wi-Fi Notification
Ok, I have a rooted Verizon Note 3 with Beans ROM on it. In the ROM, it appears to have some version of the Wanam Xposed. In every possible selection either in the phone settings, Beans, or Wanam, I have de-selected or selected turning that stupid notification off. I found one thread on the forum with a flash/.zip file, but it is no longer there. Can someone help me turn this off?.....

Wifi function fail (turning off involuntarily)

Anyone else having issues with the wifi turning off on its own? Got my S5 yesterday on AT&T. There have been a few times that the wifi will turn off and it can't be turned back on unless I restart.
I've experienced this with wifi settings as is out-of-the-box and when I changed the option to only have it on during sleep while plugged in.

Wi Fi involuntarily turning off and cannot turn on without rebooting
I'm having the same problem. S5 goes to sleep when waking the wifi is switched off and I cannot turn it on in settings. I have to reboot

Try this, go into settings, press wifi, then press the button consisting of 3 dots in the top right corner and then press advanced. where the settings state "keep wifi on during sleep", make sure it is set to always.
also check the wifi timer is not on either.
Let me know how you guys get on

Yes, that's the problem. It is fixed by not using the feature... Great, isn't it?

I have the exact same issue and am thinking to call warranty and see what they can do. This happens on any router, very annoying. You can avoid phone restarts btw, just put the phone in airplane mode and back in normal, when you do that it will be able to turn wifi back on. I am wondering is this bug on every att galaxy s5?
this bug occurs when you have the keep WiFi on during sleep option off. this saves a lot of battery, and to me avoiding this option isn't a fix to the problem, because on every android device I have I make sure WiFi turns off during sleep and never had issues reconnecting back when I wake up the device but galaxy s5 has that issue

Wi-Fi won't turn on after phone sleeps, sometimes

Hi!
My n9005 works perfectly fine, but SOMETIMES in standby when I wake the phone up, I notice Wi-Fi is turned off, while it previous it was on.
When I try to move the knob thing to turn on Wi-Fi it just does the animation and stays like it's trying to turn it on, but doesn't.
I have to restart the phone every time to make Wi-Fi work again.
This doesn't happen a lot of the time, but it's annoying.
Is this a common thing? What could I do to fix it?
Thank you for your time.

Open wifi menu and go to option.
then go to advanced, there is and option "keep wifi on during sleep". Make sure it says "always on"

The problem isn't that.
That's how it is by default.
I would be able to turn wifi on after it turned off if that was the problem.
In my case I need to restart the phone to be able to.

I did a factory reset and Odin flash of the same exact ROM that I had by downloading from Sammobile.
The problem is so random and seems to only happen when the phone sleeps or is charging. Sometimes it works for a few days, sometimes it will happen, no WiFi until a restart.
EDIT:
Maybe I should download another ROM from sammobile and try that?
Does that trip Knox?
I have a [Austria (T-Mobile) MAX] ROM (PDA:N9005XXUGBOK6
CSC:N9005MAXGBOK1) atm, I bought the Note 3 used and it had that. But I live in Serbia, maybe I should try the Serbian one in example for my carrier?
The WiFi problem is just annoying at most, it doesn't happen often, but I shouldn't have to restart the phone to have WiFi.

As its an old old problem google it .

I did,
Ive found people that the wifi icon is grayed out.
Thats not the issue here.
Please help me out here. Tomorrow Ill be opening up the phone with a friend to check for water damage if any. Since I bought it used.
If I dont have to do that, please reply.

BUMP
JJEgan has disabled private messages, so I can't really contact him on a solution or what he meant.

For anyone interested, I solved my problem on my own.
Enter *#0011#, press menu key, tap on WiFi tab, tap on the power saving button so it's off.
I didn't experience the same issue ever again.

Anyone experiencing constant WiFi disconnects after 7.0?

I mean, I'm seeing my Wi-Fi disconnecting and reconnecting seconds later probably every ten minutes or so. It's getting infuriating. It's not my home network, either, as none of my other devices are experiencing this issue. Even still, just to be sure, I've tried multiple reboots of my router, to no avail. Anyone else having similar WiFi issues?

I been having the same problem with wifi. It will be fine for a while and then randomly disconnects and reconnects. Im not sure what do do about it. Other than that, i have had problems with quick connect...cant connect to my tv anymore

Same

my wifes s7 edge does this but shes actually still on MM

I had the same issue. I performed a factory reset then used Smart Switch to re-install everything with the exception of apps. I had to manually select and install them (this was recommended from another post to avoid battery drain) and no issues again with Wi-Fi auto disconnect

I'm on AT&T and I have WiFi disconnects frequently. When the phone sleeps it always happens... And yea, I have the always on enabled.
.. Really annoying

My Data Saver was OFF ... you saying turn it ON and it fixes Wifi so it does not sleep / doze when screen is off?

Turning it off on mine fixed the issue. You may need a factory reset
