Re: S5 5.0 Automatic WiFi - won't stay off

It wasn't turning on immediately, but it usually happened within about 5 mins of shutting it off.  I did not have this issue with 5.0 prior to the 3/30 update. 

Regarding Safe Mode - that fixed it!!  Here's how it went down - turned it on Safe Mode for a couple of hours and I did NOT experience the concern.  Within 5 mins of switching off safe mode, the WiFi had turned itself on.  Went to application manager and started looking for running apps to narrow down the suspects.  Took a shot and uninstalled a rather useless"Xfinity Wifi Locator" app and it seems to have been the culprit.  Appreciate the help - it was driving me nuts.
