Wifi help have looked and I havent seen anyone post anything about the problem. Has anyone else having a problem with the phone trying to look for a wifi connection when it is turned off. I can turn my wifi off and then bout and hr later the wifi is on and phone is looking for a network. i was using wifi tether and the phone looks switches to looking for wifi and shuts off wifi tether. Has anyone heard of this issue and is there a fix for it.
It is called Sprint Connection Optimizer. Kill it with fire after disabling it.

Connections optimizer turns back on after reboot. I suggest finding it using Titanium Backup and freezing it.
Yes Titanium Backup freeze as others have said.

The same thing happens to me. I have a problem with something draining my battery. When I go to sleep at night it's on 100% and when I wake up in the morning it is down to 60%. I have changed the battery and the same happens. So I am checking the apps running and this "wifitimerservice" is running in the background and I don't know what it is...

I occasionally see that process running on my stock device. I've got the wifi timer option disabled too. Annoying.

i just bought the galaxy note 2.. love the phone' however i cant stay connected to my wifi for some reason it connects them a minute later goes back into 4g mode please help...
I thought it was the phone so replaced it... same issue how ever it will connect to att hotspots.. go figure thanks
I'd say check your router first. Mine at home is a pain sometimes with my sons' ipod touches plus desktop plus netbook plus tablet plus my phone sometimes it drops. We end up turning it off for a few seconds which fixes it. Overload I guess?
There is also a known issue with the att wifi app. I forget what is called because i got rid of it a long time ago but it seems to be a culprit in some cases a well. You could find it if you search the forums I'm sure.

No issues with wifi for me

Had a similar issue... dropping of wifi radio... the workaround when using the ATT wifi manager was to go into the phone's wifi menu and disable power saving... *#0011# select menu... then wifi submenu.
Or.. just freeze or remove the ATT wifi app and use Smart WiFi Toggler from Google Market... works well!

Disable att smart wifi. That works for me.
Definitely a router issue. I use WPA2 PSK with DHCP and I haven't had any issues. I have had problems in the past using WEP with my phones. Once I changed to WPA it was fine. Maybe try that.

Thank you, this worked, I think removing the latest update for AT&T smartwifi did it for me, whatever I now have wifi again.
I'll take a look at Smart Wifi Toggler
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!
I'm going to be in a GSM country for a while, and I'm bringing my SIII cuz it's a capable little tablet computer. I wish to disable the cellular radio completely because there aren't going to be any CDMA signals around and it'll kill the battery looking at full power (I'd think).
Is there a way to disable cellular while leaving the wifi antenna up? I imagined it'd be simple, but I'm finding it hard to even search for. Usually people just want to disable the mobile data and leave voice up for sms or whatever.
What about Airplane Mode?

I would assume he still wants to connect to Wifi.
I haven't heard of any Mods or settings that completely turn off the radio (data and phone/text). I'll keep my eyes open, though.
Turn on Airplane Mode which shuts off everything, then turn on the Wifi by itself. Used it in Europe that way without a problem.

Ah, I didn't know this worked. Back on my old Evo, once airplane mode was on, Wifi couldn't be turned on. It looks like they've improved the airplane mode functionality in the last 2-3 years.

I still have my Evo and can connect to Wifi in airplane mode.
Just some background... Completely stock and not rooted. I was getting 3-4 hours of screen on time with wifi and gps on at all times so I never turned them off like I did on my old phones (unless I was using them). Lately my battery drain has been awful. I haven't downloaded any new apps since this started. Anyone having these outcomes? Thanks!

Turn off Location Services for Google search and that wont run
I downloaded an app called Greenify that seems to be helping a lot. 24 hours is all I've had it running, but, I thought I'd throw out that idea.
I don't have any settings enabled for Google in general... Looking at the "Google settings" in my app drawer.
