Relentless WiFi Notifications - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Is there any known way to disable the CONSTANT notifications indicating that "WiFi Networks Are Available" or "You are Connected to [network name]"? These notifications are completely useless, because when are there ever not WiFi networks available? I also don't need a notification that I've connected to a trusted network... there is a WiFi icon for that exact purpose. Driving me nuts!
I just switched to the M8 after having a Galaxy Nexus running AOSP. On the Gnex, you could easily disable these notifications in the Advanced menu under WiFi settings. Did Verizon remove this ability for some reason?

they removed it a while back to encourage people to use wifi instead of 3/4g. As soon as we get s-off customs roms will start pouring in and they will definitely have the notification of.
btw, i'm thinking of moving from my gnex to the m8, what are your thoughts on the comparison? are you happy with the m8?

Well, this notification is "encouraging" me to just turn off WiFi altogether and just use my unlimited data plan full-time!
So far I like the M8. Sense interface definitely has a learning curve, but it does have a few nice added features like motion gestures. The M8 is lightning fast compared to the GNex!

I found it and switched it to 0 and I'm still getting the notification after saving it and a reboot... I think it may be because of the temp-root method we have or else it's just not the correct setting? Oh well, it was worth a shot! Thanks!

hmm.... there might be another setting somewhere else...
i don't think it has anything to do with the temp root. as long as the value gets changed it shouldn't matter how you were able to change it...
anyways, i'd keep poking around the settings to see if anything looks interesting.

Very true... Root method should not matter cause it's just required to edit the field. I'll mess around a little too and post back with any findings.

Thanks for the tip. I also found the setting in the "Global" section of the db. The changed setting survived after the reboot, but unfortunately it didn't disable the notifications.

I'm getting this too on the Verizon M8 - I just switched from a Galaxy S4, but I'm seriously considering returning the phone for this issue. Is there really no way to disable this without actually rooting or running a custom ROM? I cannot believe that I have to hit the clear button a dozen times a day to get rid of that annoying notification or turn off Wifi altogether. I also have the T-mobile OG One and never had this issue.

I could turn it off in my Verizon GS4 - guess I will have to check on it in the GS5 before considering switching out again. I'm just going to turn off WiFi all the time in the meantime.

It isn't going to work until we have a true root method. We don't have R/W access to anything but /system/xbin any changes you make aren't going to stick. Nothing can be written to any system files. Same reason we can't edit our build.prop or debloat our devices. Don't fret though, I am sure we will have a true root method available soon along with S-OFF.

What setting are you talking about? If you're talking about one to hide the notification in the Notification screen, I don't see any setting to disable that.

Let's be clear about what is there and not there - In the "advanced" menu in Wifi on the Verizon M8, there is a setting to uncheck called "notify me - when launching apps, notify me when WiFi is available" - that box is unchecked, but I still get the icon and message in the notification bar whenever I have Wifi on, but am not connected to one of my saved networks. It only prevents the notification from launching when opening apps.
However, on my M7, the setting is "Notify me when an open network is available" - on the M7 (t-mobile), when that box is unchecked, I never get a "wifi networks are available" when wifi is on (let's be honest, in LA or most major cities every square inch of the city has wifi networks available).
I don't have my Verizon GS4 handy but am pretty sure the menu option was to uncheck "notify me when wifi networks are available" because I never got those notifications.

Has anyone figured this out yet, especially since we are S-OFF now? I turned off anything that seemed like it might turn off the "Connected to" notification in either the secure or global tables but I still get it

[REQUEST][MOD] Hide 4G notification on 3.70

So, i upgraded to Fresh 3.5 which is based off of the OTA 3.70. and now when i keep 4G on and there is no 4G signal around that notification icon sits on the top left corner of the task bar. it's a 4G icon with an exclamation point on it and when you pull the notification bar down it says "4G antenna is ON, tap to scan for 4G service" can someone please find a way to hide this icon. I like to keep 4G turned on all the time and don't want to keep seeing this every time the 4G connection drops. TIA.
I second this!!
We can't be the only two to find this annoying.

Sprint could get all information from user.. note phone is rooted and flag account
No they can't, I'll called them today, no flagging or anything. And remember rooting is not illegal, and they cannot flag your account for doing it. Their saying this is a feature to save battery life. I disagree. My thought is they couldn't figure out how to get the 3G to 4G handoff to happen properly so this is their solution. BTW, I've had nothing but problems with 4G stalling since I've owned the phone so this is still an issue.
For those of you wanting to lose the constant notification. It's in the framework-res.apk You can use Gimp to make it transparent and then push the framework back to your phone. Or you can pull your framework and make your own flashable zip. Then you can keep modifying anytime you want to change something with 7-zip.
It's actually not in framework-res, and making the image transparent keeps the spacing allocated and continues to display the notification text in the "notifications" section of the drop down window.
So, having said that, consider the attached (flash via recovery) EXTREMELY experimental. It "should" remove all the corresponding 4G notifications. What I don't know, is if in doing so, it breaks the ability to automatically reconnect when leaving and re-entering a 4G area. This isn't as easy to remove as icons to the right of the status bar, or even some on the left. This uses android's built-in notifications framework, which requires ongoing services, etc, to report activity on the top left side, and in trying to break its display, it is certainly possible more than just its display has been "broken".
Again, give it a shot and see if it works without any unintended side affects. But, be warned, as mentioned, it may. Just not sure, as I haven't been able to test it enough to verify it works as intended.
Nandroid before flashing so you can restore more easily if it doesn't work as intended.
It flashed just fine, I haven't left my 4G area yet so well see if it effects reconnection. I let everyone know. Now I just need to change the scanning frequency interval back to what it was before because it seems that the interval is longer now, thus they put a button on the notification bar to instantly activate it. Thank you Sir for your help, and a Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to everyone.
After looking at the wimax setting the values that changed are-
Previous- wimax entry delay(s)600
Current- wimax entry delay(s) 300
and
Handoff Threshold
Previous - 0
Current - 6
I changed my handoff back to 0 and well see what happens, and I'll try 3 and report back.
I'm also going to lower entry delay and see what it does to battery life.
The (Previous) settings are taken from a post from July, so who know what there were a few weeks ago.
I can confirm that the .zip file works perfectly. Gets rid of the notification and reconnection works fine. Still playing with the scan settings in regards to battery life.
Finally, back on the forum. Thanks for making this mod. Downloading now and will give it a try.

Cool, thank for the additional confirmation.
Sorry to be so noobish. I just got my first android phone and just (stupidly) applied this update today and I hate how it doesn't reconnect the 4g automatically and makes me rescan. I really wish I could make the 4g how it was before.
My phone is not rooted or anything its just an HTC evo with a white backing right out of the box and updated. What should I do?
I'd be more than happy to donate to the developer of this method just need a little help here please.

You beat me to the same question. While it is trivial to undo, how did you apply in the first place?
I guess it is feasible to extract the apk from the zip, and manually click to install from your sd card, but somehow I doubt this is what was done...
Either way, for future edification, since you would have to know what apk it is, if you installed it this way, why not just download a stock ROM and pull out the same apk and re-apply?
This is what I have done and attached.

[HACK] Remove WiFi reminder

IF YOU WANT ANYTHING ADDED JUST PM ME AND I WILL ADD IT AND GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. THANKS!
This will remove that annoying little Wifi Reminder. I have tested this on my phone with 0 issues.
•You will need root
•You will a SQLite editor
1.Open Settings Storage > db > secure
2.Search for “wifi_networks_available_notification_on” (different providers will be different line numbers)
3.Edit that record to read a value of 0 < (that's a ZERO)
4.Reboot your phone
How to remove WIFI Popup Notification:
Open anycut.
Click 'new shortcut'
Click 'activity'
Click 'HiddenMenuWifiOffload'
use new home screen shortcut to turn it off
Thanks to tillithz
for some reason this did not work for me...
I am testing a kernel so that could be the cause. my phone booted kinda wired restarted like 3 times. one of those into the recovery.
after it came back up i went into the market and i got that dumb notice that wifi is available.
so I checked the settings, and it still said 0...
but again i think is cause of the custom kernel so that this with a grain of salt.
Only the "Any Cut" shortcut workaround works for me.

You may want to add a link to the free SQLite Editor here http://code.google.com/p/xdroidx/downloads/detail?name=SQLite Editor-9.apk
Also Update your post to say this only takes care of the notification not the WiFi pop-up. To eliminate the WiFi pop-up when opening apps you need to use any cut or similar to create a link to " hiddenmenuwifioffloading" and then disable it.

The op is talking about the constant notification under "ongoing" in the notification pull down. They are two separate things and require two method to eliminate.

I'm not sure if this belongs in Development or in Q&A, but regardless, this tutorial needs to be somewhere, as everyone asks about this constantly.
Also, OP, I would suggest updating your post to have the methods of removing both the ongoing notification and the pop-up, so we can help people get rid of Verizon's nonsense.
I'm all for responsible use of data, but spamming us with a pop-up on every app launch is not the way to handle things.

In your launcher, add a shortcut via the standard long-press method. For the shortcut's target, select Any Cut.
From here you will have four options. Select "Activity". From here, scroll down to the "H" area (they're alphabetized) until you find a value called "HiddenMenuWifiOffload" and select it.
Then, open your new shortcut from your launcher. Select "Disable" and press "Okay" at the bottom, then you can use Back or Home to exit out.
You may need to restart for this to take effect (not sure), but this should disable the pop-up when launching apps.

The ongoing notification when you have a headset attached can be disabled as well, by freezing the ContextAware application. I froze mine with Titanium Backup, but it's possible you could do it with the stock ICS method.

Ya, that may not be the best idea. AFAIK that is the way in the stock ROM to switch input methods. After I did a factory reset I tried the press and hold on a textbox to get the input selection popup to show and it never would. I figured out whenever I had a cursor in the textbox and the keyboard open that clicking that icon is the same thing.

Just wanted to report that this does not work unfortunately. I disabled the option via the activity above and restarted, and still get the Wifi notification.
Looks like you really need root for this, and need to update the field in the db per OP.

I thought that was the NFC icon?
Also I was hoping this was a real hack. My understanding is that these just disable the popups. What I hate to think about is that there's processes being used to scan for wifi even when wifi is turned "off". Wifi isn't turned off is the phone pops up telling you wifi is close. This uses battery. No Verizon I don't want to use wifi. I want to use my unlimited data plan you keep f*****g me in the ass to keep. That's the only reason I let you f**k my ass.

Mobile Data Turned Off Notification

So today my Samsung-SM-G950U had a software update that now doesn't allow you to remove the "Mobile Data Turned Off" notification but instead lets you silence it up to 2 hours. I used to be able to simply restart the phone and it was gone until I used it again and then I would simply restart but this option has been removed. Is there any way to remove it permanently?

AT&T phone, data works, turning off intentionally. I don't have a huge data plan so I turn off the data unless needed. Used to be able to simply restart the phone and the notification that data was off would disappear, now it stays in the notification bar.

Notifications not working

Hi,
Push Notifications work if I'm actively using the phone, but if I turn the screen off for more than 5 or 10 minutes notifications for all apps permanently stop. If I turn WiFi off and on again, the notifications come. I haven't popped a Sim card in their yet so maybe that would help?
Anyone have thoughts on why notifications eventually stop? I'm nearly 100% certain I have every battery and app setting to notify setup properly. I'm almost ready to give up.
Thank you in advance for your help.
As a side note, I have Google play services installed.
I don't have notication issue but I saw someone does. Maybe reset the phone ?

If I reset I'll lose Google play services and have to figure out how to put it back on.
Right now I get all notifications the issue is not getting them if I turn the screen off regardless if always on display is on. I'll try to send what happens if I just use cell service not both, but that's not really a solution. Also, notifications work with the screen off for about 10 minutes. Any longer and notifications stop. I guess it goes to sleep and is being super restrictive.
If you reset your phone, you can put GM's back on. Just download the package and instructions.
I think your notification problems may be in your permission app settings may be. I had outlook notification problems and fixed it by checking app permission. Android 10 has very strict notification settings.

If I go to app permissions I see view all permissions. Then I see a long list of some permissions you can click on and it explains what it is, but there's no toggle on or off. I get notifications just not with the screen turned off for more than 10 minutes.
I think I may be getting closer to narrowing down the issue. It doesn't appear to be happening if WiFi is turned off. I believe I read someone else on the this board was having the same issue with WiFi turned on or it could have been another Huawei phone.

Go to settings, click on search and type in battery optimization, then click all apps, then click don't allow for each app you want notifications from. This solved my problem. I hope it solves yours.

Isn't that a bug in the platform? They can't seriously expect users to do this for all apps that they want notifications from? It's ridiculous.

Disable PowerGenie for Notification
Someone might post a precise guide, to disable, via ADB, PowerGenie, so all applications do not go sleepmode and notifications all arrive correctly. Thank you...

Notifications not appearing until the phone is unlocked.

Hi,
I have owned Find X2 Pro for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed that my notification is not appearing when the phone is locked. It only shows up when I unlocked my phone.
I know Oneplus also has this issue but can be fixed by disable battery optimization.
Is there any thing I should disable or enable in order to alert me when my phone is locked.?
Have you tried going in to Privacy<Lock Screen and then selecting show notifications

Hi mate. Did you sort this out? I have the exact same issue. As soon as screen is locked, no notifications. If I knew this I would not have bought the phone. Thanks for any help you may give.

I was disappointed to discover there is no notification LED on this phone, so wanted to find a way to overcome that. I'm not sure it's exactly the same issue you've found, but maybe the solution is the same?
There are several ways to replicate the missing notification indicator, but the one I've been using since I got the Oppo is NotifyBuddy. Although there is a free version (link below), I quickly paid a small amount of money to unlock all its features. This means that notifications appear on my lock screen in the form of app icons - you can select the size, colour and which ones you want to show from a list of all your installed apps. I've set mine to blink on and off at one second intervals and for NotifyBuddy to not show any notifications when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. A double-tap brings up the lock-screen fingerprint sensor, so it's easy to open the phone without even picking it up.
This is my preferred set-up, but the program is very flexible. It does consume some battery power because I've set it to run in the background (which seems pretty essential to me) but the extra drain is very small.
You can get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy&hl=en
Thank you John for your reply,
I do not think this will solve my issue nor the original posters issue. When the phone blinks out and goes into its hibernation state/lock screen state and has been idle for quite some time, no notifications come through until the phone has been picked up or woken up then all the notifications flood in. I have tried all sorts of things to get the notifications to work when the phone is in this state but it just does not work. However, if the always on display is on, all notifications work perfectly as the phone is not in that hibernation/resting state. I am not sure this app would help until this aspect is resolved, unless in your experience it has fixed the issue?
Thank you for your reply.

I don't know if this will solve your issue, but, have you tried to turn the "sleep stand by optimization" off?

I have just tried this now. So by locking the apps in they should notify regardless yes?

When the phone was in hibernation, I wasn't getting any notifications through either. The app I suggested solved this. Now I get notifications immediately, whatever the phone's state.

Hi John,
That is good to know. I am currently trying Tobias14's suggestion, if this does not work I will most definitely try yours. Thanks again.

Also whilst I am thinking about this, supposedly lock screen magazine can impact notifications if it is turned off so I have enabled this too.
Cheers.
I thought I'd add a photo of my Oppo Find X2 Pro showing how notifications appear on my lock-screen whilst the phone is locked. This is thanks to the NotifyBuddy app which I've discussed earlier in this thread.
Sadly, I seem unable to embed the photo, so here's a link to it:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/john_gass/50301729781/in/dateposted-public/
It shows three simultaneous notifications... Twitter, WhatsApp and TypeApp (which is my preferred email app). The strange position of the icons is because I set up NotifyBuddy's ability to move the icons around to avoid any possibility of OLED screen burn-in.
And finally, I have no connection with this app except that I've been really pleased with it and feel it deserves a bit of promotion!

I am facing the same issue on my oppo reno 8, in my case sleep standby optimization is turned on, because of which I am not getting notifications on lock screen. Make sure you turn off sleep standby optimization. Settings>>Battery>>Advanced settings>>sleep standby optimization.
