IPhone :: Is Wifi Always On - Setting Anywhere To Turn This Off
Jun 21, 2010
I thought I read the feature they were adding was that you could toggle it so wifi never went to sleep, or hibernate, whatever they call it, so that IM apps and texting apps on a Touch could stay active. I'm seeing what I think is the Wifi on all the time, and I'm now getting alerts from Beejive when someone texts me, but I see no setting anywhere to turn this off. Is it simply on with no option to turn it off?
I'm trying to get access WiFi from my iPhone 4S but after my username appears, it asks for my password. Which one?? The password I use to access the Internet?? I'm not sure which password it wants since this is the first time I try to use WiFi.
I should be getting my AT&T 950 today while at work. I'll have some time on break to play with it, but won't have WiFi. I don't want to use a ton of my data downloading a bunch of settings, I'd like to get most of the updates done at home when I am on WiFi.
I bought my bold 9900 yesterday it have some problem with wifi connect..when turn off WIFI connected ---> my phone turn off..I try up Os ( Bell ins. ) for it but no have change Bold 9900 : vendor 331.
I'm using Xperia Z2, and this week I've update it into official Android Lollipop 5.0.2 through PC Companion. However, after the update installed, i seen a horrible WiFi problem: It's "always on". Even after I turn off scanning always available option on Advance Setting, the WiFi still on, as seen from the Battery Usage. This problem makes my Z2's keep awake and taking a huge battery loss.
I have had some troubles with my Bionic the past few weeks.I have a Wifi network at home but not in my Office or car.I will keep the Bionic's Wifi at home on all the time,but will turn it off whne I leave.Many times when I will either walk into another place of buisness or just get a text message when the Wifi is off,it will turn the Wifi on.So,it's searching for Wifi and taking the battery life down as well.I have taken the battery out with the Wifi on and rebooted.

I'm setting up a new 9900. I have a cryptic 63 character wifi passphrase that I would like to paste into the field, but there seems to be no way to do that. Is there a work around other than by manually typing it in?
I'm trying to turn Wi-Fi off while my Mini Pro is sleeping, after screen lock. I've changed the settings (settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced) to Never, but Wi-Fi keeps turned on draining battery while the screen is locked. Is it another 4.1.B.0.431 issue?
Is there a way to set up email to sync over wifi only? The option is available on my phone which I have unlimited data on, it would only make sense for Motorola to put it on a tablet that has a limited data plan.
I'm frequently travelling with my iPhone and never figured how to do the following : Turn off everything except WiFi I can turn off the data when outside of my zone, but I still get connected to a mobile phone provider wherever I go. One could argue that I could simply NOT answer my phone when getting incoming calls, which is true, indeed, but I can not refuse incoming SMS, and I get charged for that. how can I very simply turn everything off BUT the WIFI.
I'm a register Developer from Mexico and I downloded the last beta software for iOS... everything seems to be working just fine but can turn on the Wifi, it seems to be unavailable in gray.

Is there an easy fix for iPhone 4 WiFi issue? It is greyed out and I cannot he it to turn back on. Have tried freezer method and resetting network options.
Is there anything in Cydia that automatically turns wifi on when you're at a specific location then back off when you leave that location? For example, when I go to school it automatically turns on, but when I leave it goes off again?
my Iphone 4 is still syncing via wifi even though wifi is shut off in itunes and on the phone. I'm sure it's syncing via wifi because when I open up wifi sync on the phone via settings the progress bar is loading. How do I shut if off?
my 4gs works fine, except.... the wi fi in general settings is not able to turn on. the icon stays light gray and does not respond to touch the bluetooth shows 'off' and then sits & 'spins' when i tap it. ive re synced, re set, etc
I recently upgraded to a new Computer (MacBook Pro running Lion). and have the Itunes wifi sync on my iphone still showing for my 2 old computers (Macbook Pro and Windows 7 netbook) I want to know how to remove those devices from that list so it only shows my new Macbook Pro...
