Why does wifi keep turning itself on?

Wifi keeps turning itself on, even when I've turned off the setting. I've tried going into the advanced wifi settings and un checking everything, but it still comes on. I have a tmobile samsung galaxy s5, running android version 4.4.2. This is very annoying.

This happens to me. I don't know the answer either! It's a pain.

Is there a connections manager under your Mobile & WiFi Networks setting? If so, that is where to look...

Just updated to lollipop and this still happens. I've tried going to mobile networks and everything is unchecked there as well.

I finally figured it out. If your carrier is T-Mobile, you need to go to T-Mobile My Account, then tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, then options. Uncheck Display Wi-Fi Manager Notifications under Notifications, then under Connection Assistant, tap on Open Wi-Fi Manager and Uncheck Manage Wi-Fi Connections. This is an annoying feature for T-Mobile, I guess. I'm so happy I finally got the Wi-Fi to stop coming on on it's own.
