Everytime I use my phone there is annoying chromecast pop-up comes from nowhere and it makes my phone unusable. I don't have chromecast it's probably connecting to someone else's. I went in settings I turned off notifications and its still happening.

Have you tried turning off Nearby device scanning in Settings/Connections/More connection settings? Not sure if that would help but just wondering..

It's happening after turned of the device scanning.
Hmm, I googled around and it looks like you're not alone. Unfortunately the fix might need to come from Google..

I've just done a ROM upgrade to 1.66.707.1, and now my Wifi connection kees enabling itself.
I'm sure that I missed something to make it not connect, but what?
Anyone here who might have a clue what it could be?
Thank you.
Hmm that sounds like something I have seen before. I had a similar issue when I had the hd2 12 button action screen installed. Do you have that?

No.. I've not installed that.
I'm also not using Stocks, Weather, Internet time sync and so on, and I thing that if I would, the phone would use the gprs option.
Tomorrow, I'll re check all applications that I'm running to see if I've missed a setting.
Im just curious.
When you disable/enable wifi do you use the comm.manager or another program???

Switch the phone into airplane mode (in the comm manager) and the startup wizard should popup. Just run through that process.

Maybe put it in airplane mode and restart it. It sounds like the issue that some others have had after installing 1.66. It runs the setup wizard in the background, and that automatically starts wifi. My biggest concern if this is the case is that your phone isn't set up to work on the network yet.
Try it anyway and see how you get on.

Okay.. I've put it in "Airplane mode", turned off and back on the phone.
Still not setup wizard.
Did the same thing again and soft reset. Still no setup wizard.
I'm going to give it some more runs, but if no luck I will install an other ROM (custom one), to see if my problem is gone.
I'll report back if I know more.
Thank you for your input.
re: isn't set up to work on the network yet
It is.. All my network connections are working fine.
I think is an issue of Wifi Toggle.
I had the same issue and stopped using it.

I will uninstall Wifi Toggle, and see if this fixed the problem.
If so.. To bad.. I really love Wifi toggle.
i dont have the wifi toggle other than the slider under settings?
and i also have this problem
it only happens when i turn the phone on , once i have turned it off it stays off until the next time i turn it off then on.
So I've noticed this problem with my SGS3. When I drive into work, I turn off the wifi radio (or whatever the term is) before heading out. As I am driving down the road, the status bar will suddenly show the wifi network discovered icon, so I go into settings and see that Wifi has been enabled again. WTF.
Anyone else having this issue? I don't want my phone constantly scanning for wifi access points and turning on my wifi radio when I have specifically disabled it. Is this a known issue?

Do you have Sprint? If so turn off the connection optimizer. It will stop turning on then

Yes, and I should have put that in the thread title. Thanks.
I actually turn that option off but it seems that the battery wouldn't last me as long when it was on.
DUDE I've been wondering the same thing.
i keep thinking maybe its me hitting it by mistake but its def turning itself on
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?

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!
Hi,
I am using a SM-N910C (XSG). Since late I have been facing an issue. The phone is connected on WiFi and left on sleep/idle for around 10 mins, I stop receiving push notifications from my apps including Gmail, Whatsapp, Viber etc.. I wake the phone up and suddenly receive all the notifications at once. This doesnt happen while on mobile data. I dont know whether the problem is with my phone or with the WiFi router. Tried with my friends Nexus 5 and another HTC One E8. But they seem to be working fine. Has anyone faced this issue? Any solution?

I had formatted my phone thinking that could help...but no luck....How could play services effect this???
Have exactly the same problem. Not sure why though......
Most of the application push notification rely on Google Cloud Messaging which lies within the Google Play Services
Anyone found a solution? I have un-installed update, downloaded previous version of Google Play Services but still no luck.
OK. The solution is to go to WIFI settings ---> Advanced ---> "Keep Wifi During Sleep" set to "Always"

Has this fixed your issue? But isnt it set to ALWAYS by default? at least mine has been but still no luck.... just can figure out what is causing the problem
Did you try the push notification fix from Google play store? Some network does not maintain a good constant connection with the phone. The apps try to fix by shortening the time between heart beat that the phone send to the server.

Yep tried that as well....But no luck.....I tried something else today.... I connected another WiFi router to the main one and connected to its WiFi.....not facing an issue at that time..... I dont know what to point at, my phone or the router.....
hello from egypt i have just discovered the solution of the problem because i had it too so sure you should keep the auto aync is on and the mobile data is not restricted and the previous two settings not the real problem the problem is in the power saving mode the is an option at the end of power saving settings that will reduce the power by never showing the notifications untill you open the apps so turn it off......
Is IPv6 enabled on your network? Samsung has an IPv6 issue, partly resolved in 6.0.1, causing issues for some apps using push. Pre 6, Samsung used to ignore ICMPv6 during sleep, causing the default router to time out after 200 seconds with the screen off.

Hey everyone. I'm having trouble getting smart settings to work. I have location and scanning on as well as my settings set up for when I arrive and leave home. It didn't work this morning when I left and didn't work when I got home. Granted I turned on location about 20 minutes from home, but that shouldn't be an issue. Any help would be appreciated.

power toggles conflict?
I had the same problem and finally got it working after uninstalling power toggles (along with turning on notifications from smart settings/LG apps), and then turning off phone and turning back on. I suspect in my case, there was a conflict between the 3rd party app and LG's smart settings.
Same, but Smart Settings runs
I turned on the notification, and I get notifications for both wifi and vibrate-only profile. The wifi actually gets turned off, but the sound profile doesn't switch to vibrate. However, when I return home, it does turn the sounds back on.
