Wifi keeps turning itself on!?!

Imagine driving down the road, using your navigation on the Note 2. Now every time you pass an open wifi a screen pops up and says you are connected. That is why I looked for this thread...

Hmmm, my Note 2 doesn't do that. I have it set to connect to various Wi-Fi but when I go out of range of Wi-Fi it doesn't popup a message. If I'm within range of Wi-Fi I have it set to connect to, it does so silently. When I'm out of range I don't know because nothing pops up. I have Settings-WiFi-Notify Me unchecked.

Ridin' a Note 2 blast

I have an ATT Galaxy Note II

I was able to stop my wifi from automatically starting after I turned it off.

When at my HOME screen, I scrolled over to more apps, which was two screens over from the main one. There are four pre-installed apps, AT&T, Play Store, Gallery, and Settings.

I selected AT&T, then AT&T Smart WiFi. Next to the picture of the owl, there is a Wi-Fi button that is ON. I turned it OFF and it solved my problem.

Go into mobile network settings disable "Connection Optimizer" & problem will be solved

Hi there
I also have the problem of the wifi turning itself on all the time. Have done as you say and gone to mobile networks on my S3 but don't have the connection optimizer option the only options I have are
Mobile data, data roaming, access point names, network mode or network operators - any suggestions

Bingo, Mike in Pennsylvania! That's been driving me crazy. Thanks to you for telling me about this app I've been overlooking for months now.

go to Settings BUT before going into WIFI, turn it on, then click WIFI - Menu (botton on the left) - Advanced - The "Network notificacion" box will be selected, click on it to disable it.

My problem was the same, my phone kept doing the same, and everytime and went into settings - wifi - advanced, the wifi was off and the box was unchecked. BUT once I did the proces with the WIFI on..... magic.... the box was actually checked!!!! I disablet it and hasn't happen ever since.

Hmm... since this thread is in the "Samsung Android Phones" forum, I'm guessing that a good start might be to go to the correct forum for your phone. Just sayin'...

I can't find connection optimizer or smark wifi or auto conncect wifi menu in my GN2 setting

My HTC one sv through boost mobile started doing this this week when it updated to jelly bean 4.1. I think a lot of people are having trouble finding the connection optimizer because its not under WiFi for most people. Went into Settings>Mobile Data, which then brings you to a Mobile network settings>Automatic Connections>Connection Optimizer. Uncheck and problem solved. Hope this helps someone.

SONY XPERIA Z ONLY ANSWER.......I had the same problem and it was f##kin me off and that Connection Optimizer isn'. On there. I have just gone in to the settings and the battery saver or power management thing and the third one Down is the one ur looking for location-based WiFi, turn it off that should sort it

On Samsung Galaxy S4 (Sprint): Drag down the window shade, tap and hold wi-fi, tap "smart mode", toggle it off.

I had this same problem, and this post is where I found the answer, searching for "android wi-fi keeps coming on", thanks.

To find the "Connections Optimizer" on the Note 3 you go to Settings-under connections-go down to more network-Mobile network. From there you should see the setting you are looking for. Hope this helps.

On my Verizon Galaxy 3 my Wi-Fi just started to connect itself the last couple days. I looked and my auto connect is still unchecked, yet it still connects immediately after turning it off.
