How to stop Wi-fi Connecting Automatically on Xperia SP

[micksea173]

I have had this problem since updating to the latest update.   Everytime I switch my phone off and then switch back it automatically tries to connect to wi-fi.   Even if I disable the wi-fi after 10 minutes it will switch itself back on and again   It is starting to get annoying now as I needed to use my phone on Friday and the battery on my phone was dead.  

I have only had this phone for a month and I am coming to the conclusion it is the worst phone that I have got on contract and really hate using it.   I have had problems with wi-fi and lose of that,  Losing phone calls and calls been dropped.   Mobile data losing that.   I also have a iPhone 3GS and even changed the sim card with a holder over to that phone and used that and the sim card was not the problem.

Go to battery settings and disable last option (if available) "Location Based Wifi"

It's not working..
The wifi always auto-connecting itself when there's a wifi signal around, though I have disabled it

Slide down from top down to access the hot-keys;

1: Press and hold the Wi-Fi icon.

2: Under Wi-Fi preferences, disable "Turn on Wi-Fi automatically" 

Hope the above helped.

The Xperia lx keeps switching on 

how do I stop it

@Erictheviking 

are you referring to the WiFi switching on/off or the phone itself?

[Erictheviking]

The phone  switches itself on whenever I have the Internet connected.

How do I stop it switching itself on apart from  switching off the Wi-Fi
