Why does the Wi-Fi turn on without my touching the icon switch?

[AC Question]

On my Alcatel A564C Smartphone with Android 4.4.2, sometimes the Wi-Fi and the Data Connection turn on without my selecting the "On" icon switchs. Any suggestions why this happens? Thanks.

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Wi-fi, tap Menu>Advanced, and look for an Allow Scanning option, and turn that off.
