Hey guys in having the same problem as I did after the 2nd update I believe to the S3. At random times the Wifi will turn itself on so it's apparently a Samsung problem just not the certain phone you are using. It's not really killing my battery yet is just more annoying I pull down the notification bar and the Wifi is on. Anybody know of a fix?

at first I had a problem with Wi-Fi turning on whenever. that was fixed by disabling connections optimizer. but now gps is doing it and the optimizer is still off

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

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

Thanks.
Do you just set the traffic to 0KB or is there another way to configure this, I also noticed that it will use your wifi to download ads so is this helpful?

In wifi settings press menu button, choose advanced and select second option. Set wifi to never when sleeping.

Ever since I update my phone to 5.1.1 the WiFi is keep running on background even though I toggle off the WiFi. I have also switch off the gps and locate my phone using WiFi when not used. This would not go away until I reboot my phone and because of that android system on battery status is mainly draining my battery. Please help me fix this. I have factory reset and clear the cache numerous time.

How is your Smart Network Switch set? Mine is off.

It is off as well. And it seems like if I have WiFi connected and leave the WiFi zone then even though I toggle off it would still run in background. If I switch off before leaving the WiFi zone then it would be fine.
