Stay off, wifi!

[Dr Fatsides]

I turn wifi off when I'm out and about but it tries to connect with every random network it passes. When I have it off I want it to STAY OFF.

Is this possible?

Bonus question... what happened to silencing my ringing phone by setting it face down? Did Lollipop kill that handy feature too?

TIA,

Go into WIFI / Advanced settings and turn off the search for wifi .

I think it did. That was one of the selling features that convinced a freind of mine to get one earlier this year, and now he says it does not do that anymore. My kids Moto X's are the same...they used to silence face down and not since the 5.1 update. My Droid Maxx had that feature also & now that I have a Turbo I can't find any Setting s to turn it back on.

Hmmm.... I can't seem to find any Advanced Settings for wiring....?

Thanks! My phone rang at work today, flipped it over, and..... It kept ringing. Yet another black mark against Lollipop. Yes I'm one of those people who loved KitKat. Lollipop? Not so much.

KK FTW here too. IMO, 4.4.4 has been the best Android version to date.

Hmmm again. Your wifi settings look nothing like mine...!

Try this on your Turbo. Settings > With Fi > 3 dot menu > Advanced. Slide that "Scanning Always Available" to OFF.

Aha! The three dot menu! Thanks for your patience. Now why are your menus black and mine are sucky white?

Which menu? They look pretty much the same to me.

Your screenshots show your menus as dark, while mine are fugly white.

I think you meant to ask cr6. His screenshots are the dark menu theme, mine are from my Turbo and are a white background like yours. His phone is still on KK, so that's why his Setings menu is the dark background with white text.

D'oh! Of course. Thanks again, guys!
