Ok i have this problem i have a prepaid simcard so i dont have any mbs. But the problem is that my connection turns itself automaticly on even if i manually turn it of, it wil turn itself back on in 5 minutes. I have a samsung galaxy mini 2 GT-S6500D with root and universal OC kernel.
There is probably an app that you have that is turning it on. FB/G+/Twitter? Maybe something that is broadcasting your location (Maps, some radio app)? In web just doesn't turn itself on, something has to initiate it.
You can use something like JuiceDefender from the market to kill the data when the screen is locked. In JD+, you can set it to be app specific as well.
Airplane mode?

It seems like wifi on my phone just won't cooperate with me.
The problem's never the same but the general concept is the same. Either my wifi doesn't turn on, or it'll turn itself off after some time. Sometimes I turn on wifi in comm manager and I'll get the loading thing, but then it doesn't turn on.
Other times, it'll turn on only to be instantly turned off again.
Other times it'll turn on. I'll start surfing the web (or doing nothing for that matter) and it'll be turned off again!
Sometimes it'll turn on, work fine, and then I'd lock my phone and turn off the screen for a while. Afterwards, I turn on my phone again and it's turned off again. It was on before I turned off the screen (and it should stay on.. it did when I first got my phone).
I recently hard reset and flashed to Energy Rom, Mercury. The problem persists. I guess this means it's a hardware issue right? I've checked many settings (including all of the settings in advanced config) and it seems like wifi isn't acting as it should..
Anyone have any ideas?
hard reset, flash new radio/rom

thats not going to work he said that he just flashed the newest mercury rom and that means he has probably got a good radio too . unless its just the radio .
other than that i don't know what to tell you about wifi other than i don';t use it much .
the rom works fine and the radio doesn't affect wi-fi. there are some settings that disable wi-fi after a period of no use. it could be that. only reason that would occur while you're actually using it tho would be that it was using your data connection and not wi-fi the whole time so wi-fi stayed inactive and decided to shut off. check your wi-fi settings.
I made sure that I disabled data connections (since I don't have a data plan. I cannot connect to the internet if I do not have wifi on).
I'm pretty convinced this is a hardware issue.. Looking at my wifi settings, there's no reason why it should turn off, and the only thing I noticed was that in advanced config, it's set to disconnect wifi after 2 mins of inactivity. I often get disconnected from wifi like 4 seconds after turning it on (and often while I'm trying to load a page in opera too).
Hopefully this isn't as noobish as it sounds. I am looking for a very specific app, I need an app that turns my 3G network off and turns it on perhaps every hour, just long enough for my e-mail to sync, then turns it off again. I have tried juice defender, which I assume worked but I couldn't test it because it turned the data back on everytime the screen was on. Sometimes I just want my phone to receive texts and calls and leave the data (and the battery) for when I need it.
I found another app, that supposedly didn't turn the network off but changed some verification settings, this app didn't work (I could still browse the internet and refresh email.)
I currently use quick settings in order to quickly turn my data off, but I would like something that did it automatically.
Some help would be nice, if you need any more info let me know.
I have an Atrix 2. It has been replaced twice by AT&T due to this problem. I have factory reset each phone and tried every battery mode, data saver, sleep policy and wifi channel.
The problem:
The wifi turns off by itself! not sleep, off! As in the checked box is unchecked. The phone does it during use and when not being used. The timing between instances is random. The wifi sometimes stays on for hours. Other times it wont last five minutes. I have 4 other wifi devices connected by wifi to my secured router.
Note: I travel across the country for work and the problem occurs at airports, hotels, mcdonalds, ect.
I have called Motorola and their only option is to send it to the with no replacement. I could use some help. I have been searching online and others with this problem dont persist, they simply state that unsecuring their router fixed the problem. That is not an option for me as the routers are not mine.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I recently noticed this problem started after I installed the ATT Smart Wi-FI app. Mine will connect then turn off, wait a second turn back on then I get the WIFI networks avail message and I check it and it's not connecting to the network til I tell it too then it will stay connected all day.
I"ve had my atrix 2 for about a little over a month. It's doing the same thing. Wifi will randomly shut off. I have to go into the settings to turn it back on. It will work fine for a little while then just shuts off again. Does anyone know if this seems to be hardware or software related. I've tried different apps and WiFi sleep settings to no avail. I really like the atrix but this is kind of annoying.
I have the same issue also, except I have top reboot my phone for wifi to work again.

i have the same problem, it's not my wifi connection, but the actual wifi setting turns off whenever i turn off my screen and yes, i've set the wifi sleep policy to "never", so that's not the problem. i've also tried "never when plugged in" and "when screen turns off" and i still get the same problem. i was thinking about going to at&t and asking them about it but decided to come here first.
(a white iphone 4 is looking better and better ) can anyone help?
I had this problem but after I disabled the power saver option under battery and data (set it back to performance) it went away and Wi-Fi works perfect.
Tried different battery saver settings as well, nothing changed.

I have a Motorola DROID RAZR Maxx HD and i use wifi tethering on it alot. Sometimes, when ive had my phone in airplane mode, and then take it out, it takes a long time for the tethering to come on even when i have service. So for example, ill have my phone in airplane mode, take it out, get 4G, and it still takes up to a minute or so for the "Checking Subscription Status" box to come up.
I also have the above problem when either A) I turn the wifi tethering on and it turns on but then turns back off (Need help with that problem to) Or B) I turn my WiFi tethering off and then try to turn it back on.
I also would like to note that i use GO Power Master with the PRO Version key. I use screen off optimization, and have most of the system settings checked off so they wont turn them off, but its still slow.
So my question is, what all processes go into the WiFi tethering and how can i fix the problem. Im also unrooted.
I wanted to know if i can make wifi turn off with out coming back on by it self i hate that and have turned off everthing that automatically turns on yet it tryst to turn on over and over again does it the most when I'm using my .mobile hotspot and will actually turn off my hotspot
When I turn off wifi it stays off.
Hmm my wifes note 5 does it to
I just turned off some settings WiFi advanced menu. ..going to see if that helps.

I now have everything turned off now it only seems tobe happing when hotapot is active it tells me that activating wifi will disconnect hotspot then it says cencel of turn on wifi if I hit cencel it will pop back up quick if I do nothing it just sit there untill screen blacks out then turns on wifi by its self and kicks me off hotspot really making me mad
My Sprint Note 5 does the same thing. When using the hotspot, it keeps displaying the "Turning on WiFi will disable hotspot notification. As soon as I return home and the Note 5 sees my home WiFi network is automatically connects and kills the hotspot. Even though I haven't responded to the notification.
If I'm not using the hotspot, then it never automatically turns WiFi back on when returning home.
I have set location services to use GPS only, set Smart network to off. Yet, when using hotspot, it keeps trying to turn WiFi back on.
Same here :/
I wonder why can we get a dev insight on this
That is connection optimizer at work which switches when you get home it looks for the best signal..... turn it off in settings.

Thats wierd i have no issues with wifi and hotspot turning off.....
I can say I have the same problem. I'm on sprint, not rooted but used the MSL code to open hotspot. Me and the Wife both have note 5's both with the same problem.
I also have connections optimizer and all settings I know of keeping wifi off.
Only does it when hotspot is on.
