I have a Samsung Note 2. In the last couple of days the wifi keeps turning on by itself. I don't recall d/l anything that would cause that. Any help on how to stop it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Also, which version of the OS are you on? I was getting retarded wifi issues when I was on android 4.3, but was recently updated to 4.4.2 which did (at least I think) resolve the issues. The warming message I would constantly get is, "Your Wifi connection is unstable" even though I was right beside the wireless router.
I have unlimited data so the usage is not a bother.... It's just a "thing" with me that it turns on by itself. Thanks for the input, I'm still trying to figure it out.

What carrier are you on? AT&T Note 2's have a known wifi issue because of conflict with carrier bundled bloatware (I think that the ATT app was called Smart Wifi or something along those lines). Disabling any apps that may be trying to manage the connection resolved the issue.
Also, make sure that you have your device set to always leave wifi on. When on the network selection screen, tap your Menu key and then select Advanced. From there, choose Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep and set to Always.
EDIT: Disregard all of the above; I misread that you were having an issue with WiFi turning itself off. Although, disabling additional management apps can still get rid of the issue.

Also, double check under the mobile network settings; some carriers have a service called Connection Optimizer that will turn on wifi when it detects networks nearby. The idea being that wifi networks are more efficient since they do not use mobile data when connected. If US Cellular uses this service, turn it off.
No Connection Optimizer... looked online for info.... only thing I can find is factory reset the phone.... I don't think so..... guess I'm going to the US Cellular store tomorrow.
There is no "auto network switch" setting. The "always allow scanning" setting is off.

That setting should not have any effect on the status of the wifi radio. I am thoroughly stumped on this one..... ???
