Did you guys notice that the Note 3 keeps giving this message every time it connects to a wi-fi network?
You then need to change the settings to make it ignore the message and stay connected. But the message will always pop-up.
Any ideas if this is a Hardware or an Android 4.3 issue?
i get the same notification all the time.
I remember seeing this message before. Now, I get "Prevention Information" when I connect to Wifi

Never had this, never saw it. Nit even once. All I have seen from day one is "Connected to XXXX" where exactly are you seeing this message? i have not seen it in notifications, nor in the little pop up at the screen bottom -which I hate personally - oh to have a custom ROM, sigh! Actually now that I am rooted, I suppose I can research the fix and implement myself... It's pure laziness (on my part) is what it is, and there's NO excuse for it, lol!
I've never had that. Connecting to an open network or something?

I get that message also not sure what is going on there though
My Galaxy Note 3 Is A Definite Go!!!!!
I get the same message!!!
I have a brand new ATT Galaxy Note 3 rooted and running stock firmware and I too get this message all the time. I didn't realize I could force it to connect anyways, could anyone elaborate on how to do this? My Wi-Fi connection is very strong and my internet speed is fast, I know the problem is with the phone. I don't know what's causing this problem. If I had to guess though I would say something to do with KNOX. I started getting the "Prevention" message people are talking about in the other threads about the same time this Wi-fi thing started.
THanks XDA
Theres a thread about this already with the fix. Open dialer and dial *#0011# hidden menu will pop up and then hit the hard menu key, tap wifi, click wifi power saving mode to off and then reboot.
I get that too, I've did the secret menu fix but it still happens. I know it's not my network since I have extremely fast Internet and and an Asus n65

I have yet to experience this, I'm stock rooted. My wifi auto connects soon as I pull in the drive way.

I get that message from time to time and it generally happens when i can connect to wifi but the quality of the connection is weak, or the internet connection itself is poor.
im interested to know if the battery drains faster with this option turned off.
Go into settings>wifi>advanced and Turn off automatic network switching and the message won't pop up anymore. No need to go through the dialer

Interesting - I'll see if this changes it. I also receive this message quite often. It will be nice to see if this fixes it. I did this once before, hows battery life after this change?
I've been on the phone with att/samsung, Samsung wanted me to disable att smart wifi, disabling it from applications manager

Wrong! it will still pop-up the only difference is that Turn off automatic network switching will not disconnect your wifi connectivity
We're gonna have to live with it, I've complained to Samsung and they are working on patching it but they don't have any eta

That's funny because when I experienced this problem I did this and that notification stopped! The first day I received my Note I had this problem..... I made the change in network settings and it's never been back! Maybe I just got lucky!

You did get lucky, the way samsung is describing it is that it's an random problem that they don't know what causes it

Ok, so I am about to go out of country and have no plans of using mobile data or mobile phone while I am gone. If I put the phone in airplane mode, I cannot use my bluetooth headphones, which I'd like to be able to do. So how can I COMPLETELY shut off the phone transmissions, but still allow bluetooth and wifi? Is there an app for that?
In settings you can turn off mobile data, but the phone radio still seeks out towers which I do not want it to do.
Just recently figured this one out
Download the app "Network" <-Link
Open it up, scroll down till you see the button "Turn off radio"
Click it
Turn on the wifis and bluetoofs
Now you have them enabled with the radio disabled but not in airplane mode
AWESOME. That solved it. Thank you!!
One quick follow-up question. Once I turn the radio off, if I pull down the drop down menu, it says "Looking for Service." I am assuming it is NOT using battery to look for service, even though it says that, right??
Actually, AFAIK, if you turn on Airplane mode, and THEN turn on Bluetooth and WiFi, the cell radio will still be off, but BT and WF will work still. At least WiFi works for me like that.
No. Bluetooth will not work on the hero. At least on every Fresh ROM I've ever had, you cannot turn on bluetooth in airplane mode . . . maybe wifi, but that is less important to me.
I finally found a app that works. Download Network by Philipp Mangelow in market. Start the app, scroll down until you see "turn off radio" button and press. After that just exit the app, activate bluetooth and the radio stays off. Works perfectly on my Transform. Let me know if this works for you!
nvm delete

Considering that 'UR' is used as opposed to 'Your', it's a third-party app that you have installed. Uninstall everything that you are not sure of, or do a factory reset.
Hey Guys,
I saw many threads about this, nothing with Z1, and I can't figure out where is the problem.
Like the title says WiFi turn on by it self. I am on .136, no root, nothing, and I never saw this issue before, maybe because I leaved WiFi on all the time but now I have to use 4G to call people with Skype and I want WiFi Off, but I can't. All the time I leave my phone for few minutes WiFi appear to be On no matter what and my battery drain quickly.
I am sure is Android involved in this but how can I fix it?

Who knows? and what you mean?
They are not separated. For Google's location Section, if WiFi is Off Google will use Mobile network to determine my approximate location.
There is no reason to turn it on, or I missing something?

Go into settings and power management... There is an option for location based wifi...if that's on your wifi comes on when your near a location you used wifi before...is just a power saving option

Never used this option and still off. I like to turn on WiFi manually. It's not this one to turn on my WiFi.
Any other suggestions?

Maybe clear cache and data in the settings app see will that make a difference...you will lose all your saved settings but sure it's better than a factory reset haha
Edit there is actually a wifi settings app clear cache and data for that app...it's one of them com.Sony.wifi settings I think

Are you running battery guru? If yes it will turn on Wi-Fi automatically if it comes in range of that network.

Thanx Mate, I finded that Battery Guru have the ability to manage my WiFi so I set it up like I like and it should not turn on anymore. I hope I will not come back here soon.
Thanx.
Not sure if it will control wifi but the app that controls connection and stuff could also be doing this. Like wren you put it to charge it whatever event is the trigger.

It was Battery Guru. I just disabled manage Wi-Fi based on my usage and don't manage Wi-Fi for at last 4 hours in Advanced and it not turning on anymore. I do it manually. Very happy now. Battery life stay up longer.
Hello. I seem to have an issue with my wifi notification settings. It constantly notifies me, although the check box is unchecked.
Here's the more interesting part though. I go and check wifi notification, back out of that menu, go back into it, and it's unchecked.
This is a new issue I'm having, it has never done it before. I updated to the first KitKat OTA and really didn't like it, so I s-off/rooted, downgraded back to the first stock rom, then accepted each OTA until I was back on 3.05.651.6, and then it started.
Does anyone know of a way I can fix this issue? I should be able to flash a fix for it if there is one, or modify the settings internally if there is a way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Any help would be extremely appreciated and earn a thanks. ^^;

Since I couldn't find any other solution, I used SQLite Editor to edit the Wi-Fi notifications off.
I'd like to figure out why it it happening though, but this does the trick.

Hi everybody, as in the subject WiFi turns off itself on my girlfriends mini 2 when she leave home. I mean she leave home to work with WiFi on but when she comes back it is always off. She says she doesn't switch it off I think she is telling true as she probably don't even know how to turn it on and off she has no apps installed that could control WiFi module, could it be system or broken module? Anyone have same issue? Thx

Hi,
Just saw this.
Its like this: there's advanced options in Wifi settings, that allows you to control whether to turn off Wifi after long period of inactivity, I dont remember as of now ans I Im not close to my device, once Im close, I'll add a a screenshot.
Thank You
