Does anyone haver the problem where their phones keeps re turning on wifi all the time? It seems to be especially bad when I drive around using gps, but it can also happen when I am in 1 place. Eg. I'm using 3g data as there is no wifi networks thati have access to, after 5 min the wifi will turn itself on,i can turn it off and then 5 min later it will be on again. does anyone else have this problem?

Not here, haven't seen people talking about that in forums either.

Do you have lagfixes installed? I recall some having problems with WiFi not sleeping properly when off, but thats the only thing I've seen causing problems with WiFi.

Not running Tasker, or something seeking to push data that is set to WiFi updates only?

the only thing i can think of is the weather widget trying to update over wifi. but its only set to update q6hr and it is turning on multiple times sometimes within 1hr. running voodoo, but i doubt this would cause the problem. wifi turns on when i am actively using the phone, not sure if it's doing it while the screen is off or not.
