What is turning on my wifi?

[MikiSunshine]

i know I turned my wifi off to save battery life. I'll be reading a book in Kindle, the Kindle locks up, and I notice my wifi is now on. It also seems like 30 apps have suddenly loaded and my memory and battery life and getting lower and lowers

I turn off the wifi, close the apps I have no use for, and reload Kindle and the same thing happens after a short while. Rinse and repeat.

Can someone help me figure out what program(s) are doing this and how to stop them?

ETA: Using MetroPCS with an LG Spirit 4G and Android 4.0.4

Is there any way you can post screenshots of your battery stats please?

Some of the apps that you would have installed had asked for permission to access some of the features on your phone. One such feature is the WiFi. When you would have installed kindle it would have requested permission to access your Wifi among other things. By accepting and installing it has access to modify your phone settings.

Check in settings - WiFi - advanced that "scanning always available" is off.

Not sure where to find the battery stats. But that's not the issue. How to stop my wifi from being turned on is my problem.

Under wifi, advanced, all I see I'd "keep wifi on during sleep", Mac address and IP address.

What phone and android version do you have?

I am so sorry. I thought I'd posted that. Duh. I'm using MetroPCS with an LG Spirit 4G with Android 4.0.4.

Sorry, not familiar with that version. If there's not under WiFi settings it could be something similar in your carrier settings. Just a guess.

It may be Sprint's Connection "Optimizer". Go to Settings>Wireless and Networks>More...>Mobile Networks>Connection Optimiizer. Turn it off.

Metropcs may now be Sprint but as for my phone, it's still MetroPCS only. I don't have access to. Connection optimizer.

Just saw this. I know about granting permissions to apps but Kindle doesn't turn the WiFi on or off. Just accesses it when available. Any way to find out what other app or apps may actually have permission to turn it on?
