(Q) wifi automatically turns on?[solved] - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like I can't keep my wifi off.
Every time I turn wifi off it gets turned back on by itself.
I'm sure I'm just being a complete noob and missing something.
Stock unrooted latest update.
Was ok before update.
Any help appreciated.

Sounds like Sprints "Connection Optimizer" here, I think there's a way to disable it, but I just deleted the APK from the system folder, are you rooted?

Awesome thank you folks. Knew it would be something simple.

After you uncheck it, if you're rooted, use TB to freeze or uninstall so it never comes back to haunt you. I've been freezing apps until I decide if they're fully safe to delete and that I'm sure I won't want them.

Not Sprint but note 3 having the same issue

Connections optimizer isn't onlyfor Sprint. Fix is probably the same, but might be named differently, but similarly.

Data turns off when screen is locked

Does this happen to anyone else? I used to have it on all the time, but now it turns off. I can't get any messages from Whatsapp messenger or other apps.
I have sync on and always-on mobile data.

Settings, mobile network, enable always-on data. Boom, good to go.

I already said i have that on...
Are you using stock rom unrooted or you rooted? Could be wireless issue or something else some folks said the latest update that had smith apk in it would shut your data off when your screen was off. That was on the 2.17 OTA software update.
So far there has never been any proof that it does that. Anyway's if it only shuts off when your screen is off that would help save battery.

Rogers stock unrooted. And i'm still at 1.20 software.
I need the data even if the screen is off, because otherwise i won't get my messages.

Why don't you update to latest software if you have the chance.

Did you install any battery saver apps like juice defender? Try disabling always on mobile data and reenable. Also try turning fastboot off and reboot phone after that

I know...it's pretty stupid. I use it all the time to check on my daughter's data use.
The app works fine over phone data. I do not have WiFi at home since I use my phone as my home internet.

Hmm that is interesting. Never knew so many people had problems. Now I might have a theory. Are you using a stock or custom ROM?

It only works with sense roms but I haven't been on sense for months.
They may have an issue with third server.

I'm using Thundershed 1.6 w Zoom Kernel. My Verizon works for me. I downloaded it through GooglePlay. Only thing is it doesn't auto log me in and it comes up with a missing info page when click but you simply click ok and it brings you to the login for the app and works from there. The data widget no long auto updates either. You have to click on it, log in to update it each time. Can use it on 3g/wifi/4g.
Maybe check out google play to see you have the latest version?

Wifi Hangs in a "Powering Off" status

I'm using the latest version of MeanROM (6.4) and for a while now I'll notice my Wifi is off, and when I check quick settings it's frozen in a powering off state. The only way to bring it back up is to reboot the phone. I've performed several clean installs to no avail. Anyone else see this?

Update firmware. It may still happen once in a while after that, but that minimises it. I'm still on 6.1 and latest firmware and I get that once in a while. Last time was a few weeks ago.

I have been having this same problem for a couple of weeks. I tried other roms and the problem remains. I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Are you by any chance using auto WiFi toggle app as well?
Thanks, Jack

I'm not using a toggle app either, just the quick links in the notification area. When you say update firmware, what firmware are you speaking of?

GPS battery drain issue and resolution!!!!

This may have been posted already but I figured out how to stop my GPS from toggling itself on. If I turned off my GPS it would turn itself on and say searching for GPS, or turn itself on when I would be on a call or be in an area with no signal. Even after rooting, installing twrp and flashing Clean Rom 1.1 (THANKS SCOTT) it was still there. Looks like it was the carrier IQ causing the issue. I've done these three steps and haven't seen it since. Step 1: Settings>Location access> check 'Wi-Fi & Mobile network location' then uncheck 'GPS Satellite'. Step 2: On your device go to Settings>apps>runnings>Android System> IQServices> Stop. Step 3: Download 'Disable Services' app, open the app and go to android system the uncheck IQServices. I read that if you reboot your phone it could come back on and you'd just have to do the same steps to turn it back off. Also I heard that AT&T can turn it back on but at least you know how to shut it off. Let me know if this helps
Thought I'd update here and state that this does not affect VZN. This is the only bloatware they outed out of ?

from all the threads I've read it seems to just be AT&T
Actually T-Mobile has it too but gives you an option on initial setup. And of course you can still opt out after the fact.

On the Clean rom Scott set it up so that it does the google initial setup and it ask you the Wifi and GPS question but on the unrooted AT&T version I don't remember it giving me that option. I don't even think they want you to know about CarrierIQ. Thing that sucks is it drains your battery

anyway to get to this with Titanium Backup and freeze/unistall?
I haven't personally tried that and not currently using Titanium Backup so I wouldn't know honestly.

Try disabling 'remotely locate this device' in android device manager..
It helps preserve battery too..

I have been getting that since day one of Rooting these things and switching from stock to-slot or from slot to slot it seems that you lose that download and it has to redo it but once you are in a slot or you are in stock and it does that once then it seems like it stops doing it afterwards
