Probably a glitch. You are not hacked.

Check this Setting in Connections, Advanced

 

[anon(10614692)]

It doesn't matter as the device has seen a recognised connection

 

[anon(10614692)]

100%. Phone not hacked, no virus, your data is safe.

Sometimes settings can change if there has been an update. Could your device have received an update recently? You don't need location on to connect to wifi. Can you clarify what you are asking in post 13?

no not seems hacked but wifi auto is on for no reason

That eliminates thinking being hacked.

i talk about wifi+ feauture in huawei

Wifi stays on all the time until you turn it off by the toggle

this feauture was ticked when phone i power off with turned off wifi icon but dont forget the my network name, after 5 hours i boot phone again, and random turned wifi on and connected to my network. even when location is off. i dont press wifi icon to turn on wifi.. itself turn on. so maybe see phone network in area and connected itself with wifi + feauture?? because in settings wifi+ is ticked when i goes that to see . so this feature do that ?? or im hacked?????????????????

All my android do that ,wifi off for certain periods of time will activate again when it knows your home or preferred network..

 

[mustang7757]

Maybe you have a extender for your wifi?

the feauture ticked on was wifi+

 

[mustang7757]

so maybe the feauture enabled because wifi + is ticked? i saw in settings wifi + automatic turn on wifi when known devices know name wifi or home near but i cant not select just wifi + turn off or turn on.

Every phone is different with configuration, I'm not sure on your particular phone ..but I dont think you have anything to worry about

A quick search gave me this. As stated a few times in this thread that behaviour is completely normal according to the settings you selected.

i worried because random turned on wifi

IS IT random? Or is it because you're at home, the WiFi receiver checks to see where it is, sees a known WiFi router and connects to it?

Go somewhere you haven't been before, with the phone turned off, read a book for a few hours, then turn the phone on - and see if it still connects or turns on. (Don't look at the WiFi connections - doing that always causes scanning, even if you have scanning turned off. Turn mobile data off, then see if you're connected o the internet. Try something that needs an internet connection, like YouTube or a web browser.)

picture i not found..

Your not satisfied with the answers we have given?

 

[mustang7757]

probably yes , because i dont know why enabled wifi auto and connected when i turned my phone again from power off, when i power off phone i dont connected to wifi , just disable wifi but not forgot the network which i connected to my wifi

And we covered everything about that , and given documentation of it ? So I think you should be ok
