ActiveSync icon in the tray

Hi,
I believe this happens only on WM6, as I haven't got similar problems on WM5 (many ROMs).
The problem is, that even though I removed the Init_Tray link and don't have the tray icons usually - whenever I connect my Wizard to the PC, the tray appears again with AS icon only!
I haven't managed any option / tweak to remove this icon from the tray and as I keep my Wizard connected to my laptop for a long time - this little thing is simply incredibly annoying!
Anyone knows how to get rid of this? Any help would be appreciated....

Goto "Settings>Connections>USB to PC" and make sure that "Enable advanced network functionality" is checked.

Are U sure of that? I had this one checked but I had some problems with connecting to my work laptop... I found on the XDA tip saying that I should turn this off...
Well, we'll see... I've been connected so I'll enable this option and see what happens.

which version of active sync do you have?

I have no choice - AS 4.5. I believe no other version works with WM6.
Yeah: I've checked it - AS won't connect with this option enabled

Wi-Fi Popups and Notifications Won't Stop

Hi,
I've got both a Fuze and a Diamond on AT&T, and both have the same problem. If WiFi is enabled, I get a constant stream of annoying popups and audible alerts as I drive down the street, letting me know about every Wi-Fi AP on my route, as if I cared. This is very annoying and I've struggled to make it stop.
I have gone into Settings, Sounds and Notifications, and disabled Wireless Network Notification MANY times. That works...until I reset. And the setting changes back on me!!! I reset every couple of days to keep the OS working smoothly, and so this @#[email protected] notification setting gets activated every time.
Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem, OR if you are NOT having this problem even with Wi-Fi on and moving around an urban area.
Please, tell me if there is a solution or registry hack. But please don't tell me to turn off Wi-Fi. Disabling a huge feature of the device isn't a solution. That's like a doctor cutting off my leg because of a sprained ankle.
FYI, the Diamond is stock HTC with tweaks from DiamonTweak, Advanced Config, and Diamond TF3D Config. The Fuze is running NATFs ROM with the same tweak tools.
Thanks.

I've had a similar problem. Have you tried going to: Settings > Connections (tab) > WiFi > Click on Menu > Advanced > Untick "Turn on available network notification" > Save ??

I had the same problem where the setting wouldn't stick on reset. I just wrote a one line MortScript that disables the wifi notification registry setting that runs when phone boots.

Please Share
Please share the how to.
I'm not familiar with MortScript, but have you got a file or a method you can share here?

I had not tried that. But the box was checked. I have now unchecked it and performed a reset, and as before, the wifi notifications returned. Good idea, but no fix.

Go to http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
Download and install MortScript 4.1.
Using notepad or similar text editor, create a file containing the following line:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "ControlPanel\Notifications\{DDBD3B44-80B0-4b24-9DC4-839FEA6E559E}", "Options", 0);
Save the file with an extension of .mscr (e.x. "DisableWiFiNotification.mscr").
Copy the file to your phone.
Finally create a shortcut to the file into the \\Windows\StartUp folder of your phone.

thanks
Great, thanks for the help ICWinner.

Similar to the problem above, I keep bluetooth on all the time and for some reason, the phone constantly has a notification which just says "Bluetooth is on". Does anyone know what the registry key is to disable this one? Or if there is a setting somewhere I am missing?

This May Be A Fix
Hi, I'm the OP, and it looks like I found a fix in another thread.
Check out what Chetstriker has posted at:

I will try it sometime this week, but some users have already confirmed it worked for them, so this may be it.

[Q] HTC HD2 - how to Stop 3g

Hi all, please help.
I've got a HTC HD2 that wont stop connecting to 3g. I've tried setting it to 'my work network, but it still keeps connecting. Also tried new modem connection to 'offline', it says that already exists, but I can't select it.
It doesn't cost much, but each time it's a few 'p', once added up it can amount to £1 a day easily.
Is there another way to stop it?
Any thoughts?

Hi there,
I assume your still using winmo 6.5 by the sounds of it
Two simple ways i would recommend, download a free app found in XDA (advanced config (v3.3 i think)) as there is a setting to turn off data there.
or
More simply, go into your apn settings and remove/change the apn name; so for mine i would change "internet" and just remove the t of it.
Can use data if the settings are wrong so it never connects
Cheers.

Yes, am using wm 6.5. Thanks for the quick reply.
Where are the 'apn' settings?
I'm not very savvy when it comes to changing things.

[Q] Custop ip setup

i just got my shiny one s today and tried to get wifi from my router, strange but theres no option or setting to do so, as it was on lets say desire hd, would you explain me how to to do that and whats going on, i installed wifi manager and it says something about changes google made its inaccessible now, thanks

Oh yea , that's strange. I just tested an app I used to use on my galaxy s2 called WiFi static and it works. Just open the app and go to add configuration and then generate and is all done for you. This app is handy because it will switch ip settings automatically when you log onto another wireless network.

You don't mean Settings > Wifi > Menu > (drop down options) Scan or Add Network or Advanced?

WiFi Auto Connects to Any Open Network

So my wifi scans and then autoconnects to any unprotected open wifi network. I live in a city so this means every museum, coffee shop, hotspot, etc., that I pass, the phone auto connects temporarily to that network only to tell me after that it 'smart disconnected' because the signal strength dropped (as I, for example, keep walking down the street).
Some solutions online suggest turning off wifi when I leave my house (not an option), forgetting each network it does this to (not practical), and pulling up an advanced menu that doesn't appear to exist in our touchwiz version of marshmallow.
Anyone have any ideas? I only want to connect to a network automatically if I previously entered a password for it. This is how every other android phone I ever owned did it.

If you go to settings > wifi > more > advanced. You can turn off "network notification" and "hotspot 2.0" that should fix it.

WiFi Notifications was already off and I don't have hotspot 2.0 (I am on verizon and it looks like they may call it "Passport"), but that is also off.
Any other ideas?

Darn. That's all I know so far. I'm still exploring this thing while trying to figure out my wfii-play store mystery.

Hopefully this isn't one of those 'features' that turns out to be a bug like getting rid of silent mode in lollipop.
Hope someone else comes up with something.

I'm having the same issue as well, but I do not have an advanced setting under more.

Same here, no advanced setting under more. S7 edge exynos Netherlands.

Some apps call for quick connect via Bluetooth and WiFi. There is a setting to disable this.. Sorry but don't remember where is it. Only hint it is hidden well.
