WIFI connection optimizer and 4.3

[ianmac23]

After the 4.3 OTA my WIFI connection optimizer turned back on and I do not see an option to turn it off. Does anyone else see how to turn it off? I do not always want my phone on the WIFI at work.

Thanks

Does settings-More networks-Mobile networks-Connections optimizer- help you at all?

I still have the option. Was yours through the ota or a different method?

It was through OTA

Did my update thru Kies, and now I cannot shut off the optimizer either. It's annoying because it wants to keep trying to connect to slow wifi networks, when my 4G is probably much faster. Suggestions?

I still have this option after the OTA update.

Since the settings are now broken down into categories under four tabs at the top, there's one extra step to get to this setting:

Settings - Connections (tab at top) - More networks - Mobile networks - Connections optimizer

Touch Connections Optimizer. When I do that it brings up a terms screen with two buttons at the bottom, "I Agree" and "More Information" At that point I click on the back button instead, and it brings up a screen that says "Sprint Connections Optimizer" which has a box that can be checked or unchecked. It looks like you can also get there by clicking on "More Information."

Thank you, brentj! Even though I explored the os after the update, I did not look there for it. I shut it off, and am now GTG.
