Within the last few days, my Wi-fi setting keeps switching to "off". It does this even when the screen is on and I'm actively using the device. I've checked the couple apps I still have that help with conserving battery and none of them seem to affect wi-fi. In any event I haven't installed any recently nor updated any settings in them. What should I be checking? How can I fix this? Motorola Droid, Android 2.2.1, unrooted |

I had this happen to me once. I think it had something to do with WiFi being turned on while flight mode was on, but I don't know why. I fixed it by:

Well color me dumb. I'd recently installed an app called "Autopilot". It's supposed to put the device in Airplane mode when there's no cellular signal. I work in the middle of an office building so it happens a lot. It burns through battery while it tries to establish a signal. The settings led me to believe that it wouldn't touch wi-fi unless I turned a specific setting on. I didn't, because I didn't want to mess with that. However, after I uninstalled the app, the behavior has stopped. I should have checked that first. Let that be a lesson: Just because you don't think it's that new app you installed giving you grief, it just might be after all. |
