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

If it was on, did you turn it off?
Yes I did

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...

I just picked this phone up, coming from the ET4G. My WiFi keeps turning itself back on. Am I missing something simple?
Thanks!

Ever since last night my 4g/3g has been on and off.. And off more times then on.. It keeps saying "no interent connection" in the notification window. Retarded the phone 20 times. Deleted downloaded cache I even updated the rom this morning... This is so annoying. And its no my service because I used the CM10 and everything was working perfect. I go back to AOKP and no interent connection. It has bars at the top but nothing like "H" or "H+" next to it when its off.. Idk why this is happening. Everything was perfect. I was chilling last night at the bar trying upload some pictures and ever since then this problem started..
Maybe try updating your modem?
And be nice to your phone, don't retard it

Just data enabled. It seems to be working now though. Also how can I reconnect my Gmail? For some reason all my contacts that are synced to Gmail isn't working. I have no contacts..
Thanks for the help!
Mine did the same. It would drop off the data network sort if speak. Toggle and it won't come back on. Call and text were fine. Data was gone

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.

Why does this happen and is there any way to stop it?

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.

Can I disable the the connection optimizer widget? It causes a lot of reboots.
The phone is not rooted.

You cant disable a "widget"
Idk whether that was just a typo, but if you mean the setting (which is really an app)...then you need to root it

No need to root. I'm not rooted. Go to settings. Then mobile networks. Click sprint connections optimizer. A screen will pop up asking if you agree, just hit back. Then uncheck the box for it. Done.

Connection Optimizer works really well. You would be amazed at how many places you can pick up wifi. I have used it on the S3 always. Couldn't stand it on other devices but it works really good on S3.
