I've checked the other threads and tried their solutions to no avail.
My wifi constantly turns itself on. I have a Verizon s4, rooted and bootloader unlocked. I have the auto update frozen, etc.
I'm messing with a lot of things but nothing seems to stop the wifi from turning on. My paranoid theory is Verizon is trying to force an update but can't.
I plan to try a rom when I figure out how to do it. (most instructions aren't complete, or are in YouTube format. I'm deaf, so YouTube is out unless it has subtitles.)
But until I do figure out how to do a rom, please help me track down why my phone refuses to leave wifi off.
Check and see if you have AT&T Smart WIFI enabled. I'll turn that app on and forget about it and when I turn WIFI off manually, it'll come right back on.

Anybody else experiencing this.. Wifi is on and connected but my 4G-LTE arrows are still showing and flashing as if it was transmitting and receiving.. but my Wifi is on??
I am using Launcher Pro instead of LG Home so I have access to the power widget in the Notification Bar but not the LG Home power controller.
I just installed Power Control Plus and it seems to shut off LTE and 3G when you press the 3G button and can keep it off with or without Wifi on.
I've noticed this. It doesn't bother me due to the fact that I have unlimited data. If it want for that it would bug the **** out of me.

As far as I know, on all the android phones I've had, u have to manually shut off mobile data even when connected to wifi. There are apps that include this option when making "profiles" that get triggered (tasker, CPU tuner) but otherwise I think it stays on unless manually turned off. Maybe its not using mobile data but it appears to stay "on".

On my olds droid the 3G would turn off when I got onto a wifi network. I might just be special. Lol

I have the same issue. It actually goes further, because when I manually turn off mobile data through the Settings menu the data icon still stays on. If I use a tool like Dataswitch the icon goes away, but I never had to do that with any of my other phones.
The other issue with wifi that I'm having is that if I set the Wifi sleep policy to turn off after 15 mins of inactivity it can't reconnect after it turns itself off. So when I start using the phone again it just keeps trying to obtain the IP address of the network without ever succeeding. I've tried this on multiple networks. I have to turn off wifi and then turn it back on. Anybody experience this?
These issues aren't big but they're starting to make me question the quality of the LG Revolution and I may exchange it for the Charge.

I have this issue too, and it is annoying. I'm not worried about exchanging it, because I'm sure this will be addressed in the port of CM7 that TheCubed is working on.

Yep, exact same issue here too.

Do issues like these usually get fixed in a port of CM7? Do you think the issue of mobile data staying on when it should be off will get addressed as well?
Any idea when CM7 for the Revolution will be available?
As the subject says. Some time after I turn wifi off, it would come back on again. My phone is stock, no root or mod at all. This only happens after the 4.3 OTA update. Anyone know what causes this or how to fix it? I manually turn off wifi when driving because it would otherwise pick up cable company hotspots along the way, which is very annoying and not useful at all. At work I keep wifi off because the company wifi has firewall, and signal in my office is very weak. I'd rather keep wifi off to save battery.
Anyone has idea/suggestion? I originally thought it might be the sensorly app, but I've removed that and the problem is still there. I turn the wifi off, and about 30 minutes later when I check the phone, it's on again! Very annoying...
Settings, locations, turn off WiFi.

Maybe check your Locate/GPS settings. There is an option you can select/deselect that allows HTC to turn on wifi for locate purposes even if you have wifi off. Maybe Contact HTC if this is a new issue caused by the update.
Hi guys, I have a question and I tried to search the forums to see if anyone else had this problem, but I haven't been able to find a thread, so I apologize if this has been asked before but.... I have a Moto X on Verizon (not rooted or ROM'd) and my wifi is constantly turning itself on, even when I manually turn it off. I've tried going into advance settings to fix it there, but it still keeps turning itself back on. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions?
What did you do in advanced wifi settings? Try turning off Google location services or all Location services. Does wifi still turn itself on? Check for any apps that may be calling for constant location access. Are you on your home wifi and does this happen elsewhere? Do you have mobile data on?

I unclicked scanning always available and keep wifi on during sleep. If I turn off all location services, won't that also turn off my GPS? The wifi is always turning on when I'm home, but it's also happened while I was driving or at school. I don't think I have any apps installed that'd be searching for wifi on its own, but I'm not sure how to check on that for sure.
Turning off Google location services won't affect gps, navigation, etc. Turning off the main Location services does affect those things. I was just hoping it would give you insight as to what is causing the issue. If you turn Location off and wifi does turn off, it may have to do with location settings in some app. Another way would be to boot into safe mode (no other apps running) with location services on. If wifi turns off, some app may be responsible. Get Safe mode by long-pressing the Power off and choosing OK to boot into safe mode. My advanced settings in wifi are Keep wifi on during sleep - Always, wifi optimization checked, and wifi band - Auto. All other settings are off.

i could be wrong but i remember seeing a option on my moto x asking if google can find wifi even if its turned off, maybe its not even turned off and is just finding you all the wifi signals? i could be wrong and sorry if we already talked about this for i skimmed the thread.
Wifi drain
This thread may be dead, but I thought I would try since it is similar to my issue. I have 2 XT1060s and have them both set up the same. Keep wifi on during sleep - only when plugged in. Unchecked scanning always available. Both phones have the same apps and settings. On one of my phones, the wifi will sleep just fine. On the other, the wifi shows 100% on time. I bought both phones used. The one that stays on all of the time was factory reset and set up from scratch. Problem is the one that has great battery life is pink and white, but I would prefer to use the all black one if I can get the battery life to improve. Any suggestions or troubleshooting info requests. Thanks in advance.
I have searched everything here. Tried the Internet, nothing. I have turned on all the WiFi options in Developer Options for WiFi. I have forgot my WiFi connection, rebooted, added my WiFi network on again and again. My WiFi network works on my Roku 3, my old S4 and my pos MacBook Pro, that I can only see 1/3 of the screen. I been trying to fix this for almost seven hours. I have toggled the WiFi etc. I am unlocked and rooted on 5.01. My WiFi doesn't see any WiFi networks period.
I would really really appreciate some help. I just had a shunt put in my eye for glaucoma and cataract surgery and I can't keep staring at this screen. I have severe ADD and it's really difficult for me not to stop trying.

Found the answer at Android Central. The answer is to power off phone. Press and hold onto Power Off until it offers Safe Mode. When the phone reboots, delete your WiFi network. Then add your WiFi network, put in your password and BOOM! Your WiFi CONNECTS! Then just turn the phone off and let it reboot. Finished.

Anyone having problems with WiFi on stock ROM lately? Every so often the WiFi shuts off completely and can't be enabled again until restarting the watch. I have tried manually switching it back on in Settings but it remains stuck in Off mode. Factory reset it, cleared the Android Wear app and everything but it still gets this problem. It was perfectly fine for about a month or two after the WiFi update was pushed.

Happens on occasion to me too, but no idea why.

Same issue here.
I have a similar problem with trying to keep WIFI on. I have to turn off Bluetooth using the Advanced Settings app (root not required) to make WIFI connect. If you don't want to use the app, try turning off bluetooth on your phone to see if WIFI will connect. I think the watch prioritizes bluetooth connection.

Edit: I turned off bluetooth on my phone and the watch's WIFI connection stays on.
