Any tips/tricks to preventing connection to attwifi without turning wifi off? It's speed is horrible in most places, and would just rather stay hspa+/LTE.
I've tried deleting WISPr_Android22_postpaid.apk in /system/app, yet it still seems to connect. Is it going to connect whether we like it or not because it's in our data plans?
There's a check box in Advanced wireless settings to turn that off.

Go to:
Settings/ more settings / mobile networks / CONNECTION OPTIMIZER
then uncheck the box and that will disable the Wifi auto-connection. Hope that helps. I have the same issue the day i got my phone. =)

YES! Thanks, Jeff! I am using Tasker to turn all data connections off at night, but when I plugged it into the USB, it turned WiFi on and I kept getting alerts throughout the night. I understand the principle, but that was annoying.
Good ol sprint doing anything they can to get you to use wifi instead of thier bandwidth

well, wifi uses a lot less battery than 3g and way less than 4g. the optimizer is a good idea, but just works terribly.

Yeah, the Optimizer needs to be optimized.

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!

For the wifi, make sure its the right band on ur router. B/g/n not sure if those are the rights oness but those are the earlier ones i think. Try n if not then g.
For bluetooth, whatre u using to discover it? Is ur device discoverable? Pretty sure u thought of it, but sometimes its the simple stuff we forget.

Thanks for the reply. And no the problem.is not connecting to wifi or discovering other bluetooth the problem is when i go to turn the wifi on it says its trying like "turning wifi on" but never does and i cant scan so nothing pops up if i hit back it shows its off when it should have turned on...same with bluetooth. Well luckily my phone was stock and is still covered in the warranty so i did a warranty claim. Thanks though

I bet you have Connections Optimizer turned on by default. In the settings menu click
More Settings > Mobile Networks > Connections Optimizer > uncheck the box in the top right.
Basically, it saves your known wifi locations and turns it on when you are in that area. It drove me nuts when I first got the phone.
Ok. ...I tried that and it was on but wifi STILL keeps connecting. ... it's blowing my mind

I've had that happen on a phone that didn't have the connections optimizer. I think I fixed it by unchecking 'Notify me when an open network is available' in the advanced settings. Have you tried that? Not sure if it will work for you...
