Wifi on and off - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Just upgraded from the evo to the gs3 and I love it but one thing I keep noticing is that the Wifi in the drop down keeps turning itself on even after I shut it off. I am not rooted still stock and I would like to see if there is a way to keep it off, or if it causes battery drain. Any help would be great

you have a app somewhere that's doing it

Shazam causes that alot, but what he said above its a application. Whenever that pops up think of what application you just got down running or closed out of, and that should be the cause.
What browsers do you have installed?
I get that every so often as well

It's a precaution when the device starts to get too hot and brightness is very high. I only notice it while playing games for a while at a high brightness or on the rare occasion my battery gets hot when charging.

I figured something like that but chdecked battery temp and it was normal. I hadn't been playing games but i wanted to. And now My phone is not hot at all and it still won't let me change it. Very strange :O

Interesting. Are you on a new rom or have you been on whatever rom you're using for a while?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yeah that was a thought of mine too. I've been on Calks for weeks now. But today i just flashed the undervolt 100 settings. So that could possibly be it. Only other thing i did today with the phone was add the GTA3 save in the other thread. Hmmm

Is your battery draining abnormally fast?

Apparently a few things were added like the wishlist.

Pretty cool, however, why the heck can't they allow you to filter My Apps so you just see your purchased ones. And I'm tired of scrolling through hundreds of apps I tried over a year ago! Is it really that hard to allow users to remove apps from their list???

Good point Doc.

Would be set if they fix the scrolling resetting when searching for something

Yes so annoying
How come mine didn't update yet isn't it supposed the same be automatic
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Seems much faster but it could be the placebo effect. Aside from that it looks the same. Curious to see if I ever use the gift card feature. maybe I'll ask for one as an X-mas present.
Just read that the update also adds smart update feature. Now you only download the changed parts of the app, not the whole thing.

It have the settings for that.
No need for 3rd Party apps.
Go to Menu-Settings-Security-Lock Screen-Select none.
Job done!

I'm pretty sure it's there so when you accidentally turn it on in your pocket, you don't go calling random people and burning thru the battery. Just sayin

Why would you use 3rd party app to disable a freaking lock screen. I wish it was simple as wm 6.5 registry edit that *****.

Yeah I'd had a few shots and tried to read that. I was confused at first until I took into account the acronyms and typos...
