Hi Folks,
I can't get my Wifi to switch off when the phone goes to sleep. I've gone into advanced and changed the 'keep wifi on during sleep' to never. I also have turned off 'Scanning always available' so apps can't scan but it STILL won't go off when the phone is asleep!! I rarely use my data allowance with my contract so my 3G is always off and I would like my wifi off when I'm not using the phone aswell but just can't get it to go off
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance
Change it to
Keep WiFi of during sleep=always
And
Tick off =scanning always available.
Your Wi-Fi should switch off during screen lock. Don't expect it to turn off immediately though.

As I said in my post it says 'Keep wifi ON during sleep' not OFF ......and I have it set to never which is correct.
Hmmm u r right it says on. What i observed is it takes a bit of time to go off to make sure user is not going to use it soon.

Hi everyone,
I have been searching all day! No results.
What i am looking for is for my wifi connection to switch off automatically after xxx time if idle. sometimes i update stuff and forget my wifi on which drains my battery. i know that normally it switches off when device goes to sleep, but i set it to stay on in standby. useful when on msn.
Can somebody please point me to a solution for this.
Thanks
Yeah buy G-Profile its just 5 euro. And u can put on wifi or of by cell towers time, day, calender evement, or if an program starts running or if your computer is connected on activesynce, external power source, under a call.
You can do the same for the volume, blutooth, etc..
Great program
Connective Tools CT Scheduler
See here http://www.connectivetools.com/ctscheduler.html
Switch Wi-Fi Mode. This new action allows switching Wi-Fi mode on and off. As well as Bluetooth and FlightMode, this action could be used at night, for example, for extending the battery life.
Try this - it may help.
Go to the settings tab, menu, all settings, connections, wi-fi and click "wireless networks". Go to menu, advanced and then you can set "Turn off wi-fi if not connected in:". It's set to never by default, but if you set it to a time then wifi will automatically turn off if it's not connected, after that period of time.
Hope this helps

It only applies when there are no available hotspots.

Yeah - I just reread the OP and see that he's talking about idle time. I use this so I can switch wifi on when I get home and forget about it. It turns off when I leave the house, which is ideal for me.
Use wireless time : http://www.pdainfo.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=52f3bfde5b6bad62fb558bed9f80c503&topic=222.0
i appreciate all the suggestions. these are not what i am looking for.
let me try to explain this again. i switched on WiFi, useful it for mail, browsing etc.
left my phone aside and forgot to turn WiFi off. since the connection is not used for xxx of time , then WiFi should switch off automatically.
do you think this is possible?
same here, i want the same options, my older touch phones had it, but not this one, and i dont fell like installing another program just to schedule the wifi, when thats the only option i need.so now what i do is, Just try to remember to turn my wifi off, at night, and when not using. so your only safe option, other than installing external software is remember it. and it helps improve memory, so you'll remeber to take your pills when you get old
Don't know if this has been already figured out, but I have been suffering from wifi calling drops every 3 to 5 minutes, and nothing I could do would fix it... Was sent a replacement phone, and that was even worse.
For whatever reason, after running the wifi calling app, go under settings
Settings >> Connection Preferences >> SET TO Wi-Fi Only
This stopped my wifi from dropping my calls.
The downside to this is obviously, you need to change this setting once you are outside or where you no longer want to use Wi-Fi calling. Switch to Wi-Fi preferrered OR Cellular Preferred.
Does anyone know if a script could be written to do this from the desktop... using Gscript??? I am sure I could figure it out well enough to write it...
did you ever check your wifi sleep policy settings?
default state, i believe, turns off wifi when the screen turns off. I have mine set to 'never'.
Not sure --- where is wifi sleep?
But I know I tried to use Wifi Fixer from the Market, and I am sure that this app would do this as it was supposed to fix wifi connections.
Go into Settings, then WiFi settings, then menu button, then advanced settings. Sleep policy is first option. Set to never..but it will lessen your battery a bit...

I have the T-mobile LG G2 D801. Every time I am near an AT&T wifi hotspot, my phone "knows" my location and automatically turn on the wifi and connect to it, even skipping the usual web login agreement. This is the first time I have seen this feature on a none-AT&T phone. Has anyone else notice this?
Very interesting ability but how does my phone knows I am near the AT&T wifi when my wifi is already set to off?
How do I disable this feature (none-rooted phone).
I haven't noticed this on mine; I'll have to watch for it. There is a "scanning always available" setting in the Advanced Wi-Fi settings, it is enabled on my phone.

Yes, this feature was turned off and my phone still automatically detects I am near a Starbucks and connect to the wifi there.
Do you have snapdragon battery guru installed?

I do not
I ask because it manages your wifi and can turn it on automatically good app though. Idk what your issue might be then, I've never had an issue like that.
If I'm home, chillan out, connected to my home WiFi, sometimes my wifi will just randomly turn itself off.. And then when I'm out (let's say I'm driving around) my WiFi will just randomly turn itself on. I don't get why the hell it does bc it never used to! I have a Sprint S6 and I have connections optimizer deleted (using Titanium Backup) and I have "always allow scanning" OFF and "keep WiFi on during sleep" ON. What gives....?!
Same issue here. It seems to happen only with 5 ghz, not with 2.5.

How can you tell if the WiFi you're on is 2.5/5 ghz??
Router configuration. I use to enable only 5 ghz (faster), but had issues so changed to only 2.5 and seems to work fine now (but it is much slower coping files to pc)
I think the issues you two are describing are different. I think the OP is saying his wifi is being activated (turning on) rather than disconnecting and reconnecting to the network (which is an issue I also have). My wifi will never turn ON or OFF (as if the quick setting has been touched) unless I turn it on or off.
If I'm wrong, then please disregard.

My wifi setting does not turn off/on randomly, however, I have noticed my S6 (920i) seems to randomly forget networks I have logged in to...home/work mostly. There's no option to forget the network, if I touch the network name again I'm immediately prompted for the password.

You are EXACTLY CORRECT... And it is very annoying lol.
Yes, I get the same thing. I try to use Trigger scripts to set my phone the way I like it at work, home, night, etc. Sometimes, I'll turn wifi off, then next thing I know, it's back on. Or vice-versa. There's no setting for it anywhere that I can find.
okay fellas, I'm at my Wit's end about this and I really don't like this about Android pie but my Wi-Fi for some reason keeps turning on when I have EVERYTHING turned off! I have Wi-Fi said not to turn on automatically, I have location services turned off I just don't know what to do at this point and I'm really getting sick and tired of my wife I coming on when I don't want it on, is I very RARELY use wifi. I feel this is a gross invasion of privacy. my question is, do I need to root my phone and somehow disable something to get my Wi-Fi to stay off?

Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same problem since the Android 10 update
I am willing to guess that you both turned off > settings > Wi-Fi & internet > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi preferences > Turn on Wi-Fi automatically???
If you did, and it is still turning on automatically, then a NETWORK reset may be in order. Also, it may take a removal, or to "forget" a particular Wi-Fi address for it to stay off. Mine stays off, so I hope some of this helps.

I had that off already, but I actually just figured out right after what went wrong; after I made a factory reset to install the Android 10 uprade, one program that I was using "Wifi password key show" reverted back to its default configurations, and they included a setting to turn off and on the Wifi upon turning off and on the screen.
It is confirmed to do it in Pie also. And on my new phone
