Hi! I have an odd problem... My wi-fi is dead, for sure, and I want to disable it, forever. It just keeps trying to turn itself on, and it drains my battery.
I read on some sites that I have to delete the wi-fi libs from my phone and I'm fine.. but where are those libs? I've found a thread on this topic, this one http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/permanently-disable-wi-fi-s2-t2604586 , but there's no answer... I just want to know what to rename/delete, as I said, my battery lasts something like 7-8 hours if I put on some music in my headphones, and 13 hours max on idle.

Hope somebody will answer.. Thanks :D

If you want help you need to provide what ROM are you use, do you use some scripts etc... I am not sure what the problem is, but you can try to do factory reset.

Look, I am using the Stock room, it's rooted, stock kernel. I don't need to fix my wi-fi, it's broken (hardware problem, my bluetooth is dead too), i've tested it, there's no fix for it, but to change the mainboard, and I'm not going to do that. What I want to know is which file to delete/ rename in order to have my wifi permanently disabled. I am using the stock 4.1.2 ROM.

When you turn off WIFI from options it should be off, it will not search network. What is happening to you?

Look, when I say it's a hardware problem, it's a hardware problem, I did test it, the result of the test was that "[NotSet]" driver thing, means my wifi is dead. I just want to know what I have to delete/rename/ whatever in order to have my wifi permanently disabled. That's all.I don't want to repair anything, ok?

Ok, do not pull a gun and shoot at me please. I say, when you disable wifi in options, it should not turn it self on. So I do not know why would you need to remove anything… But you can wait for someone else to answer too.

I don't have any option like that one in my advanced wifi settings tab... I did change "keep wifi on during sleep" to "never", but I don't think it worked out... Where is that wifi driver located? Maybe I can delete it, and then I'm happy...

I have no idea. And I do not know if that will solve your problem, or it will cause some FC...
