    How to keep wifi turned off

    It appears my galaxy note 2 turns on wifi after I have disabled it. Does anyone know a way to prevent that? The best way I've found to save battery power is to turn off all the radios I don't need. It doesn't help to have one turn on without permission. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Power saving mode question

    I'm enjoying the new phone but have a few frustrations. Power saving mode seems to work the same regardless of whether the phone is on AC or battery. Is there an app that has one profile for battery and another for AC? One clue,the screen stays dim regardless of AC.

    Shortly I'll be buying my first smart phone and using it on Verizon. The Note 2 is a tempting choice because of the hand writing abilities which might replace a paper notebook used at work.
