[Help] Wi-Fi will not turning off - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is correct thread, but I have strange problem with wi-fi. Few days ago I do a clean install of PA 3,99 RC2 but since yesterday I have strange issue because even if wi-fi is switched off in battery usage screen is still visible as active.
If it's important I'm on Googy max kernel.
Any ideas?

In WI-FI options turn off "scan always enabled" or similar.

[Q] Help - Detect App(s) randomly turning the screen on

As per the title I get a strange behavior with the screen randomly (every 30 mins) when in sleep mode.
It happens both with data and sync on and in flight mode.
I'm on the latest fw of my intl. S3, I had this issue since the beginning.
I'm rooted.
How can I detect what is causing it? Is there an app?

It happens both via 3G and Wifi (where my ICS Tablet does not have the issue).
More importantly it happens in flight mode.
Thanks but I think it is an app or an OS part.
So, is this the cause ??
Happens with me too, but I am unrooted to try this method.

I have not tried, but I don't think it is a network related issue as it happens also when in Flight mode (everything switched off).
Make sense?

I tried in the past with no luck.
Partial wakelocks gives to me a huge numbers of apps/services. I do not see the option to have "the last one that caused the screen to go on".
Can you help me to narrow the search?
Help me!!
Am I the only with this issue???
It happened to me tonight, but I have never noticed it until now.
If u got the official Facebook app installed, then uninstall it and see what happens.
Otherwise uninstall your apps 1 by 1, untill u find the rouge app.this caused by an app

I had the exact same issue, and the same question a day or two ago.
I did what a previous user stated, I traced back my steps and uninstalled the latest apps I had installed and then installed one by one and found the one causing the problem. Unfortunately I cannot remember which app it was for me, but it can be any one of them.
Guess there must be a way to log all current system activity to a file and once it happens, check the log?

The problem with the "bug" in this case is that it drains battery power unnecessarily

[Q] Why wifi is turning off when screen turns off?

Hi,
I am using a samsung galaxy s2 I9100 phone and recently updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXLS8. My problem is that when I turn my screen off or it turns off automatically, the wifi network is off. Wifi duing sleep is turned to always on in settings but doesnt seem like working. If im chatting and until someone replies the screen turns off, I wnt receive any notifications until I turn it on to check manually. Same applies for email. When i turn the screen on, it will show wifi now connected. This was not a problem on ICS as even though the screen was off, I would receive notifications and email as it is sent.
So can u please suggest a solution and also I dont want to go back to ICS
Thanks

Thx for your reply but as i said i dnt want to downgrade from Jelly Bean as i waited long to have it and it works well. The only prob being that wifi issue. I fink this problem should be solved instead. Anyone having the same issue?

Try to use a nuke script on the device and reflash JB.
Don't forget to backup everything.

Whats a nuke script and how to do that? And also do i install the same version of JB again or search for another one as this one has a wifi problem. I downloaded it and installed via Odin.

Your kernel can turn the wi-fi off when the screen is off. I think it's a kernel issue.

Finally I fixed our problem about wifi. I know you will consider me a stupid, because my solution is related to something we decide to exclude from the possible causes of our wifi issue, but... The problem is fixable managing the router settings! I have a b/g/n modem-router... When it works in b/g/n mode the wifi issue appears... If it works only in b/g mode it disappears! I had exactly the same problem with a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, and the solution I found for S2 works for it too... I hope this can helps you too.
Let me know if you fixed or not...
Ps: I actually am on the stock XWLSD...

Have you ever been able to connect in the past to the office router with the device?
If you are certain that you are inputting the correct password and are in range of the router, and trying to connect to the correct router, there is one thing you can try that worked for me.
Input the wrong password, and try to connect. It will fail but gets things moving again.
After this input the correct password and it should connect.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

I'm having the same issue. I'm running a stock ROM 4.1.2 (update received 4 days ago) and ever since I'm having this problem. My router is fine, everything else connects to it and I've checked all settings on it.
I've hard reset my phone twice since Friday and tried everything I've found (and understood). Can anyone provide a solution?
This will be the last Samsung I have as they don't seem to give a crap once they have your money.

Yes. Only since the update. All settings have been checked, deleted and re-entered and it still drops out.

It was an ota update from Samsung. I'd contact my carrier, but so far, every time I've called for something it's been an education for them!
