happens to me all the time at the moment. did you find a fix ?

Yeah, my first post after reading here for years
Had the same problem, in my case it was an app that turned wifi on randomly - tunesync (the new version doesnt have this problem).
If you don't have installed tunesync take a look in your logs after wifi goes on, think it was osmonitor i used for this reason ...

U must have an app or something that interfer, unless u dont click it its either that or i dont know.

did you switched on Auto Sync? If you do, then it might turn it on itself. Never had any problem with my wifi turning on itself. On stock rom - Europe unlocked (A8181)

Wifi shuts on and off?

So usually my wifi keeps turning off or on and its set toggled on and idk what's wrong... I fixed permissions already but its still doing it

Yes, i have noticed this on mine at work. Will see if it does the same thing at home.

interesting problem can more people confirm?
maybe this is related to this other case? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313800

My guess is it needs to toggle so you can recieve calls. When we get Wi Fi calling then it will be fixed.

yup, mine does this as well. just got it a few days ago. seems like when the screen turns off, the wifi turns off with it. every time I unlock the phone, I see the wifi icon come on and connect automatically. and YES, I have checked the wifi sleep options. wifi is set to NEVER turn off.
Also it sometimes completely disconnects from my router and I have to turn wifi off and on again to reconnect.
hopefully this gets resolved with the next update.

concering the issue if you look in your wifi settings and you see it scanning every 2-3 seconds, would this fix it? i remember a developer had made this adjustment to the buildprop when i owned an optimus V.
Changed wifi supplicant scan interval to 60

[Q] wifi turns off and on when screen is off

In the wifi settings>advanced, I have the wifi set to never sleep, however when I am playing music over the wifi connection, the music starts and stops about every 2 seconds when the screen goes off. Is there a way to make the wifi stay on when the screen goes dark?

I too would like a answer, good question!

I am NO Android Dev but I did run into that same problem that you seem to have with running Cyanogenmod. I did searching around for a week or so and really didn't find anything in particular about the problem.
I do recommend you try, re-flashing the Rom after you do a Nandroid Backup. If you don't want to go that far you can try to set the Wifi to a static I.P. by going to Wifi advanced settings. That was my problem, but there could also be other variables that could be causing your problem.
Let me know if I helped, and respectfully hit that Thanks button if I did anything for you. Good Luck!

Was it the reflashing or the setting the wifi to a static IP that solved your problem?
The only problem with setting my wifi to static would be that it would only work while I was at home. If I am elsewhere where I can't control the router, that probably won't work.
Are any of you using Cyanogenmod as well, or does this issue exist on the stock rom as well?

Jellybean wifi issue

Hello,
After updating from CM9 to CM10 I started facing wifi issue. My phone works normally for 1-3 days, and then wifi stops working. If I go to wifi settings, it says "Searching for Wi-Fi Networks". Also, wifi cannot be turned off. After reboot wifi operates normally for some time until this glitch happens again.
I thought it was CM-related issue, but some people say they have faced this issue even with stock JB.
Do you have this issue? How can it be fixed?

Toggle airplane mode.

Thanks, but I'd like to know if there is a way to fix it completely Does everyone just toggles airplane mode? Is there a firmware without this issue?

No idea on how to fix it, i have it too.
It's not happening too frequently to bother me.

Is there ; Support connect to wireless network by QSS (Quick Security Setup)??
for this build patch?

I have this exact same problem on CM10. I did a full wipe and the problem remains
I will keep searching for a solution, but I really hope someone can tell us more information as to what the cause might be.

Welcome to the club, mate! For me, wifi has almost never worked as it should.
Mostly, it works just fine until the phone goes to sleep for a few minutes. Then
the speed is reduced to around 1-2 Mbit/s, & the only way to restore the speed
is to turn wifi off & then turn it on again. After doing that, everything's Hunky Dory
until the phone goes to sleep again. Then the story repeats itself....
I've almost given up on Samsung by now, since they seem totally unable (unwilling?)
to fix this widely experienced issue. Also, their update scheme for this "flag ship" (?)
suck big time, at least for us wanting the "NEE" version of KK4.4.2....
And btw, this phone also seems unable to record both sides of a conversation
when using a BT headset. That's NOT ok in 2014, Sammy! You've got my
money once, but you've made sure that I won't do the same mistake twice.

Has anybody found a solution to this, I can't download anything in sleep mode, tried all wifi settings, is it just 4.4.2?

Hi , is not the best solution but you can try Juice defender to automatically turn wifi on when phone wakes.
I'm on dr Ketan V14 rom and wifi works fine.
I hope that can help you.

I realize that this is an old thread.... amazing how they just peter out with no real solution.
N7100, stock ROM, Rooted, and have Xposed Deep deep wifi sleep activated.
This happens about 90% of the time coming out of sleep, even the wifi quick setting is un-illuminated so have to turn it back on. When phone is shut down and then restarted, it happens 100% of the time, even after a full re-install of the ROM, 4.4.2.
I've stopped worrying about it.
