Why does my wifi keep turning on automatically? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Is anyone else experiencing this? I have the sprint version. It also pops up a box which tries to make me turn on the wifi hot spot.
Any fixes?

Sprint connection optimizer in settings.
Disable it.

Perfect, thanks. Anyone think it's worth keeping it on? I usually manually manage my radios

Nope. ****n pain in the ass. First thing deleted when i flash a stock based rom. Thinkin its a major culprit in peoples tether problems as well since it ****s wit the wifi when the phones plugged in/unplugged, screen off, etc. just my 2 cents

Decommissioned Epic ROM

I just upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S3 but my epic would be a wonderful wifi internet device for my niece. The problem is that I need the ROM to have no drivers for the cellular radio so 911 operators can have a rest haha is there a rom or way to do this? It would save battery power and stop searching for a signal that has been shut off. This phone is still a great camera, music device, ect. Please help me.

you could just delete the phone app using rom toolbox titanium backup ect... and go the extra mile and delete the messaging app.
Would the phone then stop searching for signal and using most of the battery searching for a signal? Or is that hardware/modem firmware based?

Couldn't you just toggle mobile data off?
Yes but then I'd lose the internet via wifi functionality and video or music streaming functionality, as well as blue tooth for audio and remote control. We can turn the epic into a non cellular computer like it is on a non cellular tablet.

Even with mobile data off the phone uses a lot of power searching for signal.

A new ROM idea for developers doesn't deserve to be in an android development section?

Legal?! I bought this piece of equipment, I'm free to do with it as I please. Especially when it involves only my home network.

Try factory reset first
I ahve had this problem also, but it has only happend while charging. It acts like the back button is pushed continously. I only noticed this once I switched to a six foot USB cable.

In developer options click show screen touches. See if your digitizer is going bad, happened to one of my note1's.
Id return it in a heartbeat but before that if you want to have fun go to phone and enter

And play around with the sensors.

[Q]Downloading Roms over WiFi?

Who here downloads Roms over WiFi? Do you run into any issues doing so?
I'm trying to narrow down why my data/efs partition corrupted on my old S3. Trying to also be sure that I don't do the same to my N2.
If interested on what happened to my GS3 go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37225521

Stuttering on stock note 2

I have a completely stock galaxy note 2. For some reason sometimes when I pull down the notification bar and the icons are scrolling across the top you can easily see stuttering. Scrolling through some menus sometimes as well. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a hardware problems?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Since you're completely stock I would be taking it back to where I bought it, that doesn't sound right.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Sometimes the phone will do this when it's pulling data or installing something or looking for updates. Don't think there is really a fix for this besides maybe a custom rom

Agree, custom Rom you'll be much happier. Your here on XDA already so why not??
Just my 2¢

This may be a stupid tip but did you check if powersaving is on?
With it on it produces the same symptoms
Yeah that has never been turned on. I never use that in my phone.
