wifi switching itself on automatically

iamabhishek — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:34:35 GMT

Wifi is turning itself on automatically. Two types of incidents.
1. I am using mobile data connection and when I switch it off after some time wifi turns itself on. Let me add here that I dnt have any battery tweaker or third party apps like that. Able to see that its happeneing mainly whenever I am getting any mails (gmail) .

2. The mobile finds some open wifi connection within it's limit.
Thought of consulting with you people before heading to any sony service center

Do you have location based Wi-Fi enabled under settings > power management?

Also check Smart Connect so you don't have any event enabled that is triggering Wi-Fi to activate.

Have you looked in power management and see if wifi by location is enabled?

Still having issues?Try a forced shutdown.

Turn the phone on normally after.

I solved the problem on my Xperia C4: it was my Office account trying to synchronize every 10 minutes.
This accounty turned on Wifi automatically.
