Ongoing Wi-Fi Toggle Notification in the Verizon Galaxy S3

---

Just found this on Droid-Life. No one else has seemed to mention this occurring. Does anyone else have an ongoing ("Turn on WiFi") notification on their Verizon GS3?

Not only do I have this, but when I'm at home with my wifi turned off on my phone, but available throughout the house, I keep getting asked to turn on my wifi on my phone. It says:

Known Wi-Fi network available. Connect?
OK
Always auto connect
Not now, remind me later


Excuse me Verizon and your mucking around with my phone. I have unlimited data so I use it instead of wifi. Deal with it. Quit asking me to use wifi. I have it turned off for a reason.

I think the sprint version has the same "feature" go to settings and mobile network and check in there to turn it off, ATT and tmobile doesn't seem to have it

Vz doesnt have any option for it in that menu

Its seriously been bugging me.

Settings > more settings > mobile networks > uncheck "automatic connections"

Problem solved. Has been discussed a ton already...

I can't find that option on my Verizon S3.

I find it seriously annoying too. My plan is to use every single bit of my unlimited 4G data that I can since they're jerking me around with their unlimited plan.

Any other suggestions?

This option also isn't in my settings, Lord knows why...

Yeah from what I hear, big red disabled that option so it's more or less forced on you.

Anyone figured out a way to disable this in the Verizon ROM, assuming you have root access?

Is there an app doing it or something?

Probably flash a custom rom, this has honestly been the only reason I'm a little upset about my phone right now.
