Hello, I have Samsung S7 Edge on T-mobile network. For the last week i been having issue with my wifi, I turn it off and after like 5 minutes it turns on by itself. I tried to look up the issue, but i can't find anyone reported it before. Most of them are wifi is disconnecting. Can someone please help ?
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I was able to resolve it by going into my location settings and disable scanning wifi to improve accuracy, hope this helps

two possible causes.
T-Mobile may have an app on the phone that does WiFi Managment. (it did on my old S4). Disable the app.
There is a Smart WiFi setting in the phone setting. Disable that too.

Actually it was the xfinity wifi app that I installed and it had automatically connect to best network,so I turned that off and it resolved the issue.
Thank you.

Finally found it on the S8 plus how to turn off it automatically turning wifi on. Go to settings, click connections, then click locations, then click improve accuracy, then disable wifi scanning.

This is the only solution that has helped me. I have a Galaxy Note 8.

I even knew that answer. Read all App funtions and customer feedback before you install Apps even in Ap store they should tell you what to expect.

Hi, I have an unlocked international s7 edge and my WiFi keeps turning on and off continously. I need it to stop doing that. I do not have any xfinity or any service providers apps.
