Uncheck sprint automatic connection in mobile network in settings.
Settings -> More settings -> Mobile networks -> Automatic Connections -> Uncheck Sprint automatic connection
Thank you sir that seems to be the fix thanks again

I have done this and it still keeps coming on automatically. The only fix I have had so far is to forget my passwords to the wifi connections I have. Is it possible that the power saving feature is cutting it on. Thanks for any responses.
Whst you need to do is turn off sprint connection thing that shows up th first time you boot your phone. Just uncheck it.

I ended up having to delete Sprint Connections all together. Even with it unchecked Wifi would still randomly turn.

This happens to me aswell. Although it seems to be when I'm close to a saved location..which is often... never noticed it happening at random hot spots that are not saved...

Tried looking for the answer on the forums but couldn't find an answer. I got the wifi bug where your wifi turns on randomly throughout the day. Does anyone know if a fix or if Samsung is in the process of making an OTA fix?

Go to system settings>> wireless and networks >>more settings>> mobile networks>>uncheck automatic connections
Sprint versions have this option to disable it.
Has anyone noticed on certain networks that wifi is continuously downloading(incoming arrow always lit)... i wonder if it has to do with the auto connection thing? Doesnt seem to be affecting batt life but its kind of annoying... at my house it does it but not at work... maybe a router issue?

FYI, for the 3rd update in a row Sprint enables Connection Optimizer by default. It is a HUGE battery drainer in the past, and maybe even more so in the JB release. Remember to go into..
Settings --> More Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Connections Optimizer
and uncheck.

But does it stick as disabled when you disable it? I had that problem in LI3 and I ended up freezing it with Titanium Backup.
You have to go to /system/app and delete or rename Connection Manager.apk.
Even if you disable it. It will be turned on again.
That's the Sprint "don't use your unlimited data"
That sh** is all day long scanning for Wi-Fi.

I haven't had the issue of it turning back on. Once unchecked it no longer shows up as a battery hog and no longer turns in my Wi-Fi

Same here. But true it is sprint trying to cheat us from getting internet off 3g. That's why to get back I leave Pandora on all night almost every day. Lol talk about data usage.

Same here.
It is causing hell on my phone today. Keeps flipping out and flapping my WiFi connection. Just checked it in Better Battery Stats...yep, this is the third worst offender behind screen and media services. And Sprint pushed out a buggy update that won't let people turn it off...
With this and their incredibly stupid removal of Internet Calling, I can see LJ7 being pulled or a fast update being pushed out ASAP.

I find this quite interesting... I get great life leaving it on... I have disabled many other things and restricted my background data but not this... interesting indeed
Oh here is a picture of what I get with it on... ill do some tests in the coming days to verify which setting is better

I usually connect to wifi at work, but it is currently down, so I shut down wifi on the phone.
Of course, connections optimizer turns it right back on since it knows there is a network here. So, I decide to turn off CO, then turn off wifi. And wifi immediately turns back on. Then, when I check CO, it is enabled again.

Do you have root? You can try freezing it with Titanium Backup Pro

Yeah, we had that with one of our reps advocate device, it was a persistent little bastard but he finally got it to stay off. I think he might have thrown a reboot in there somewhere

Not rooted. Wifi is up and running again, so not a big deal. Just something I noticed.

Do you have "Google's location service" enabled under "Location Services"? That setting "Lets apps use data from sources such as Wi-Fi..."
Big tip about connection optimizer. Once you uncheck it do not go back into the connection optimizer setting. Doing so will automatically enable itself. I don't know why sprint does this but it's been like that on my GS2 and now on my Note. Try unchecking it and hitting home. Once you do that manually turn off wifi and see if it stays off.

That shouldn't matter. I always keep those on they don't turn on wifi automatically. It gets location if you're on wifi but if you're not it'll use your network connection instead.

Do not go back into Optimizer again once you turn it off! It's like that on any Sprint device. It will automatically turn itself back on.
If you're rooted, just delete the app. That's what I did

Make sure WiFi on even when sleeping is set to always in the WiFi advanced settings. If that don't help then maybe it's disconnecting from WiFi because of bad signal or interference causing the phone to disconnect from WiFi. Interference like turning on a microwave.

The thing is I DONT want it to connect.. I want it to connect ONLY when I manually connect it.

Well. One thing you can check is make sure WiFi is off. If it is you can go to WiFi setting and forget all the WiFi connections. If that don't work try going to manage apps > all > settings > wipe the cash and the data, reboot and reset up your settings. If that don't work reflash your modem. If that don't work I'd factory reset and reinstall. Might be a bad install for what ever reason.

you might try WiFi Manager app from play store - gives you options that might resolve your issues
First off, a thousand apologies if there is already a post or thread regarding my issue. I could not find it.
After using ROM toolbox pro to uninstall sprint connections optimiser my WiFi still turns on pretty frequently by itself. Is there some other app I need to freeze or uninstall to keep this from happening?
I've looked in WiFi settings for an option to disable "notify me when networks are available" but couldn't find that.

You know, I forgot I uninstalled Connections Optimizer and my WiFi still turns on. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. But it is a pain in the arse to constantly turn it off. Let me do some research..
EDIT: Are you on JB or ICS?

I'm on JB.
And I spoke too soon. With WiFi turned on I see an option for network notification. I set it to do not notify me of networks. We will see if that helps.

I do use battery guru, didn't think to check for that.
I did have the "manage WiFi" on in battery guru. Turned that to off.

I was about to post a question regarding this. Good to know I wasn't the only one having this issue. I just got my Optimus G and couldn't figure out why my WiFi would randomly turn on. I changed the network notification setting and will test that out.
Oh btw, I'm running completely stock and not rooted Android 4.1.2
Edit: didn't work... Almost seems like when I get a multimedia message my wifi turns on
Yep seems like when I get a new picture message my wifi turns on... Anyone have this issue?\
Edit: Ok read about how to disable the sprint connection optimizer. unchecked the box and let's see if that helps.
Edit 2: that did it... Thanks!
