even though i have wifi switched off in settings, it sometimes switches itself on at the shortcut in notifications.. anyone else?

is it switching on to a known network? I believe that there is a setting that automatically switches you to a known network. The setting is located in the wifi options list.

I know on my s3 there is an automatic connection thing that sprint put on. You might have something similar for yours.

If you go to settings > more settings > mobile networks > automatic connections you should be able to turn it off.

This stopped mine from turning on by itself

Also if you have ATT WiFi you can disable the APP via the settings in manager apps. Get rid of it! Thats what I did. I bet Sprint and Verizon both have something just like it.
