I have a Nokia 5800

The problem is that the WIFI never turns off!

It drains my battery and I need to find a way to turn it off

When I turn off the phone, it stops for awhile then starts the WIFI again

How can I turn off this feature?

Is there any software such as HandyWi that I can install to manage this?

Thanks

Billy

Is it actually connecting, or just showing WLAN availability?

If connecting, you need to find what is connecting. The phone doesn't connect by itself for no reason, so some program must be requesting the connection (e-mail, weather app, etc.)

On the other hand, maintaining a WLAN connection (idle) doesn't use that much battery (unless the router is buggy), so if your battery is running out quickly, it probably means some program is actively using the connection (as well as the CPU, etc.)

Can you check which programs you have running and/or if/how you have configured the e-mail?
