So I have had both the Evo 4G and the Evo 3D, and both would randomly turn on the WiFi. It was not that common with the Evo 4G, but with the Evo 3D, it happens constantly. I very rarely use WiFi, but when I do, I'd like to be the one to turn on/off the Wifi. Does anyone have any ideas to stop this?

my wifi icon has turned green, and i have terrible wifi connections. i can sit 2 ft away from the router, and still lose connection. wifi is set to never shut off, i do it manually. any i9deas, or is it a bad phone?
My 3d has stronger wifi reception then my evo so I am thinking your phone has an issue

What do you mean your wifi icon turned green? Do you have a screenshot?
Also, putting your phone right next to your wireless router is not beneficial. Wifi signal forms a doughnut shape around the router and is actually weaker close to it than, say 10 feet away.

Don't know, never seen this before. 3g, 4g, and bluetooth are blue
I had same problems with another phone I had. Simple fix, take back.
This is causing me to have to take a charger with me everywhere. I am not rooted, and it is not an app I have installed, as I have done many resets with no apps installed and I didn't even sign in to Google. They are always the same. I took it to Sprint and they tell me that is normal. If it is, why have two separate times? Seems redundant to me. Plus, on my EVO 4G and my Hero, my awake time only equaled out to be about an hour more than how much I used it, and that would be over days. My battery is going to **** and I don't know what to do. I didn't have this issue with my other 3VO(swapped for a broken earpiece) and now I'm wishing I would have just dealt with the broken earpiece. Sprint is being a ***** about fixing THEIR screw up!
I had this issue when I left wifi on. Turned it off, problem gone.

Thanks. I will give this a try. Does anyone have an idea why it does this? It was never an issue on my EVO or my Hero.
So I'm pretty sure my phone is turning off 4g by itself.
On Saturday I noticed I wasn't getting 4g at my house. I live in Los Angeles between Hollywood and downtown so I was thinking I really should be able to get 4g here and I remembered when I was showing my phone to my friend Friday night I didn't see 4g either, just 3g, and that was down in West Hollywood where it is very flat.
So I took a drive around and couldn't get 4g anywhere. Drove to a Verizon store and the woman downloaded LTE on/off and turned it on. I thought my phone had been shipped with it off but then I looked at a screenshot I took to send my friend a few days before and it said 4g.
Today I was sitting in my car after I parked outside my house messing around and seeing if I could get my mp3s to show up on my car's screen when the RZD was plugged into the car's usb port.
I saw the phone go to 3g. I have 4g at my house. I checked the network settings and mobile was turned on. I went into the LTE on/off app and LTE was turned off. I turned it back on and phone changed to 4g.
So apparently my phone's 4g is turning off by itself I believe unless I am doing something. But four Verizon employees, one that owns the RZD, told me you need an app to turn it off and on.
Is this happening to anyone else? Could it be something I'm doing?
I have seen the power settings do this when the battery level falls below some threshold. There is a setting under 'Power' that seems to affect this. It changes a variety of other settings too (like turn auto brightness off, etc.) but does not turn them back on when the battery level gets better. Looks like someone forgot context-save-and-restore.
I have disabled the power setting 'Economy' to see if things are better tonight when I let my battery drain below 10%.
I can't vouch for the first time it happened, but I know this afternoon the phone was at around 85% charge. I had been charging it before I left the house.
You know what? Both times I noticed was after I had it hooked up to my car usb. No idea if that could do anything but will try again tomorrow and see if it happens after driving around with it hooked up. Default setting is to charge only but today I did set it to data to see if that would make my mp3s show up.
I'm in california on business and I can't have 4g. I have to keep the phone in CDMA only mode and it keeps a rock solid 3G signal. If i turn it to CDMA/LTE then it will grab 4g for a bit, and ditch it and I'll have no data. No idea whats up.
As long as my 4g is turned on it works great.
So does this mean no one knows of a way I might be accidentally turning off 4g myself?
I'll be hooking it up to car tonight when I go out and see if it turns off after that.
I dunno. Just got my phone today and I went from 4G to 1x. Its quite irritating.
Yeah, there's network issues today all over. I just lost 4g about 40 min ago and this time it is still turned on on my phone.
Here's another thread about that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380438
Sorry your new toy can't be used to its fullest potential right when you got it, must be frustrating.
with the og evo 4g when the phone was charging, from time to time the touch screen would bug out and get mildly unresponsive and make your screen jump everywhere. does this phone also suffer from this problem?
im going to get one when my contracts up regardless, im just curious since i can't get it till november...
hey oldschool lol nope. This does not suffer from that issue. I'm typing while plugged in right now, and everything is smooth and dead accurate.
See ya here soon.

I used to have that same problem with both my OG EVO and EVO 3D, but then I found out it was the charger/cord I was using. Apparently it was not pushing enough power into the phone. Once I got a new charger I didn't have that problem again.
