    when I know there is no secure wi-fi available that I want to connect to, I turn it off. ICS still detects it. Previous version did not do this. Seems like a waste of battery.

    go to settings/wifi/menu button- advanced and unchecking the notify me buttons

    Some apps will autostart wifi- this seems to disable that.
