Wireless constantly turning on - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

just like on my epic 4g, the wireless is constantly turning on for no reason. is there a way to just disable it so theres no option to turn on by itself?

Next time do a search. There are at least 4 of these threads.
Settings-more settings- mobile networks- connections optimizer.

i did search and did try that. did i do it incorrectly? i unchecked the box but that didnt help

Have you soft reset the phone since you unchecked that box? That might help.

Mine turns back on also after turning the optimizer off.

you can uninstall the optimizer with titanium

Wifi drops

I'm running Calkulins E4GT 2 1.6. I've noticed a behavior where the wifi goes to sleep and on order to reconnect i have to turn it off and then back on to find wifi networks again. Any way to stop or fix this?

It's a known issue. Supposedly this does not happen on FF11 kernel. I will report back tomorrow to confirm.

do you have Lookout Mobile installed with Signal Flare enabled. Whenever your battery is low, the feature will activate the gps so the "last known" coordinates can be recorded in case you cant find it
I do not have lookout or any other app that to my knowledge would do that.
even if that was the case I haven't seen 40% battery since I've had the phone because I'm still so used to charging the phone daily

Clear on s3

Hi guys. Just some interesting things things i found out about the s3. You can put it in airplane mode and turn on the bluetooth wifi connection and use it with a clear wifi port. And use groovelite and make calls.

Thank you! I just assumed you couldn't have some radios on and others in airplane mode. I get horrible cell coverage, so this should save me a lot of battery to only turn that off.

Go to settings and turn off the connections optimizer I think its under mobile network or something, I'm on CM so I can't check.

Yup, its under mobile network
Also rename it on /System/App. That thing turn on by itself.
