Android 4.3’s New ‘Always-On’ Wi-Fi Feature Buried in Settings
Google has made a change to devices’ Wi-Fi settings in Android 4.3
“To improve location accuracy and for other purposes, Google and other apps may scan for nearby networks, even when Wi-Fi is off,”
You can REALLY turn wifi off by going here:
Settings app and tap your finger on the Wireless and Networks option. Tap on the Wi-Fi option, and then tap on the Overflow button on your phone’s screen (the triple-dots icon). When this submenu pops up, tap your finger on the Advanced option. From there, you’ll want to make sure to check the “Scanning always available” option
