[Bug?] Wifi won't stay disabled.

[Sleestax]

So I've noticed this problem with my SGS3. When I drive into work, I turn off the wifi radio (or whatever the term is) before heading out. As I am driving down the road, the status bar will suddenly show the wifi network discovered icon, so I go into settings and see that Wifi has been enabled again. WTF.

Anyone else having this issue? I don't want my phone constantly scanning for wifi access points and turning on my wifi radio when I have specifically disabled it. Is this a known issue?

Do you have Sprint? If so turn off the connection optimizer. It will stop turning on then

Yes, and I should have put that in the thread title. Thanks.

I actually turn that option off but it seems that the battery wouldn't last me as long when it was on.
