Anyone know how to remove this annoying notification? I can't seem to find anything related to it in the phone settings.
I did find two apps/services on the phone (Wi-Fi Calling Settings, WfcService) but could only uncheck the notifications for the first one, however it did nothing.
I'm on T-Mobile if that matters...
Don't know about you but wouldn't you want to know when you're on Wi-Fi instead of cellular?

Of course! But I already know I'm connected to Wi-Fi. I don't want something forever stuck in my notification drawer when I already know that my calls are going to go through Wi-Fi. This notification is basically always there if I'm connected to Wi-Fi.
I've definitely narrowed it down to WfcService. However it's not letting me disable notifications. Is there any way around it?
If you set it to wifi calling, cellular preferred you won't see the icon. I hate having so many icons on top so I'm obsessed with keeping as little as possible. It's a shame that it has to be at the expense of using features.

I didn't even think of that. Thanks!
Also, try pressing and holding on the actual notification itself, it will bring you to a menu where you can disable notifications and other options. I haven't tried it cause I always disable WiFi calling anyway, so yeah.... I posted some screenshots as to what the Menu looks like when the notification is pressed and held from other apps.

When I had my Aria, I could turn off the data connection but I cannot find the setting on the captivate.
Any ideas?

I would also love to know how to turn off the 3G data so I can be 100% positive that I'm not eating all of my monthly allotment when I think I'm on wifi
I use "APN on-off Widget" from the market. It's a simple 1x1 widget that allows you to enable and disable APN (data) connectivity with a single tap. It's color coded green/red for data on/off.
There are a few apps that can do this for you. Here is one of them: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.DataOnOff
Neither seem to work. :/

Have you tried APNdroid or SMODA Widget?
Gonna try now
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Download "network" app from the market place. Start the app, press menu, and press disable data. Works great for me. Would prefer an edge only option.
when by a wifi connection, can you just connect to the wifi connection to disable data?
When I first got my phone, came home, and connect to my wifi, it was showing the 3g icon next to the wifi icon for like a day and a half. Then for some reason, I had to power the phone completely off and back on again. So, now it just shows the wifi icon when I'm at home, and switches properly to 3g when I go out.
Been looking around for awhile (almost last two years!)
My favorite app/widget for controlling all sorts of things on the device (including data) is:
Extended Controls
Frigging AWESOME - not related to them or anything - just a fan of the app.
I use it and have TWO of their widgets full of controls on one screen!
This is my first post ever to a forum. So, hopefully this comes out ok.
Just picked up my Captivate yesterday and was trying to figure this out also. Found a post by someone, can't remember from where, to go Settings, Wireless and network, Mobile networks, Access Point Names and then add a bogus APN. I named mine OFF. Once you have a bogus APN then select it instead of the ATT WAP. Well, tried this and it didn't work, still had icon at top for mobile data and was transferring data. That is until I got to messing around trying out some the settings and I happen to activate Flight mode, still had bogus APN selected. Then once I turned Flight mode back off the icon was gone and no more data transfer from mobile network. Then when I wanted to turn mobile data back on just went back and selected ATT WAP and the icon popped back in and connected to mobile network.
Extended Controls offers an APN toggle that works very well, and it's not a bad looking widget either.
Undocumented Debug/Diagnostic Menus In Your Android Phone - I found this at: TechSupportAlert
From your Android phone, dial *#*#4636#*#* and then wait a couple of seconds. The testing menu will appear. To exit back to your normal phone, just press your back/exit button. If you're going to explore the various options on the testing menu, take care.
As for the method to turn off data, select the first option on the testing menu (phone information), then press your menu key. You'll see a selection of buttons, one of which says "disable data connection". Press it, and you're all done. To re-enable your data connection, go to the same menu, where you'll find that the name of the button is now "enable data connection".
I tried it on my GT-P1000 and it worked perfectly.
Just in case it helps?
If you are running stock FroYo there is a data connection in the power menu. Hold the power button, and press Data Network. It wasn't there in Eclair, but they added it in FroYo. If I remember right it will even remain disabled after a reboot. I can't test as my phones are no longer stock, but my wife once thought she broke her captivate because she accidentally toggled that.

Airplane mode and wifi?
Am I missing something in my quick review of this thread?
I am going to Europe and dont want any service at all except for wifi.
Cant I just enable airplane mode and then turn on the wifi? Or will those sneaky bastards at ATT find a way to still charge me for something?

Just leave your sim card out of the phone then there is no possible way to "sneak charges"...
wifi works with no sim. And you will get kick ass battery life without it.
I am in Venice now after a week in Paris and leaving the phone in airplane mode seems to be doing the trick. But let me just say, hotel wifi in Europe sucks! Its nothing like the states. You get a user name and a password and have to log in every single time. And only one user at a time. I need a wifi repeater or something to use my laptop, iPod, and phone as I want to.

I was wondering if anyone saw some mod or setting that allowed the wifi to be persistent even when the display is off. It looks like the wifi turns off after the screen sleeps for a little bit.
It would be nice to get email notifications without the display being on.

The app softlocker does what you need.
I use an app from Market called Wi-Fi Keep Alive. Free, works great.
Wi-FI Keep Alive here work perfect .
None of these work with my rooted with the wpa_supplicant fixed to allow connecting to ad-hoc.
If you are rooted just go to the wifi settings and click on the menu button go to advanced then wifi sleep policy then select never. Hope this helps.

Sounds great, unfortunately no such advanced wi-fi menu that I can find. Anyone get wi-fi to stay on with the wpa_supplicant ad-hoc fix in?
I would just like to see if some people have same issue at times.
*screen can be over sensitive at times
*when wifi is connected icon in notification bar floating with empty 4G icon
*new texts do not show up north finding them in stock message app marked read when they were not.
*(fix) wifi would be off but would prompt meningitis notification found open kwidow connection.
I disabled the att smart wifi app in settings, rebooted and that seemed to fix the problem for me
Post any more findings

i dont like this either because every other phone ive had that hides 3g 4g the wifi goes in the place of it but thats the only thing so far ive found that i dont like
2 from me,
1. Battery life is tough. I must have this phone charging whenever I am at my desk or It will be dead by 8pm. I would consider myself to be a power user. I'm coming from an Atrix 2 and would make it through the day with only charging in the car dock.
2. No true gps toggle. I use the toggle switchs all the time, all others work but GPS.
Otherwise I love the phone it's very quick and I'm loving ICS

Disable att smart wifi thing, your problem will go away.

The only problem I've had was with the screen sensitivity. It's no longer a problem. I fixed it with a Moshi Screen protector.
It's thick enough to balance out the touch screen and it covers up all the Logos on the phone.
Juice Defender can also cause wacky wifi performance issues. You can adjust the custom settings in Juice Defender to leave wifi alone.
Smart Actions hasn't caused any problems with waking up any of the radios or wifi.
Wifi works best if you disable anything that has to do with automatically connecting.
When you connect to your wireless point, just click "remember" when it asks you to save settings. That way it should connect/reconnect faster when you are within range because it's not scanning. It'll just connect.
Anyways, from a security stand point you do not want it to automatically connect to any open network. Wireless SSID can be spoofed with a name change, and connecting to open networks is asking for someone to record your activity, or even launch SSL strip to fish out information on the secure sites you visit. Packet sniffing at a Starbucks free WiFi is easier than using 'One-Click-Root.'
So just avoid open networks and disable anything to do with auto connecting. It'll speed up waking up WiFi and it'll make you much more secure.
If you still have wifi issues just toggle airplane mode on and off.

There's 8GB of space; how did 2 apps fill that? Go into setting>Storage and see what's really eating up your internal storage. I found that the camera by default saves pics/vids to the SDCard and I would bet that's what's killing your space. If so you can change the setting in the camera app and use the "Manage Internal Storage" to move over pics/vids that are currently on internal storage.
I've not had any wifi issues.
Having had this only 2 days, the only problem I've noticed is that there is noise when listening to music. Specifically using the standard Apple earphones and listening to Pandora. I also tried some other cheapo earphones and the same thing. I tried both earphones on my old 3g ipod and it was crystal clear. But this is really a nit-picky thing and I can only hear it on the lowest volume setting.
I get this notification asking for what keyboard input I want to use sometimes when I have the keyboard opened. I click it and it asks me what keyboard input I want to use. I have never installed any other keyboards and this has been happening ever since I got my phone a few days aho

There is no current way to do this as far as I know as I don't believe there is a tasker plugin for wifi calling. The only thing you could do is set up key presses in tasker so basically a macro to emulate what you want to do. I used this technique to set it up so when I connected to wifi, it would automatically detect that and switch the phone to CDMA only so the phone is not hanging on to a weaker LTE signal for no reason wasting battery. When wi-fi would drop it would go back and set it to LTE. It actually works fairly well and much better battery life especially since I have a repeater in my office.
Found a way!
This breaks ALL notifications from wifi calling but it doesn't break the functionality of calling itself. So when you're on wifi you just gotta trust that wifi calling is connected (or go into settings to see if it's on). Also it DOES break address confirmation but since this should only be a one time deal for most people you can just reenable the service when you need to confirm your address if you're adding a new network or simply want to re-confirm it. You also wont be able to turn the service on and off in settings, but since it's not a radio itself turning of wifi will kill any battery usage by wifi calling:
1. Get ROMtoolbox (I have the pro version so idk if it works on the free version)
2. Go into app manager
3. Find and open wifi calling (make sure its NOT the one from htc)(also dont just select it, make sure you go into the menu)
4. Go right to the advanced section
5. Select advanced freeze
6. Find the service "vowifiservice"
7. Click on it to disable it and agree to the promt
8. *optional* Reboot the phone or refresh the setting to clear any notifications currently showing
9.???
10. Profit

I have a regular Z3 so let me know if this isn't happening on the play.
So whenever I connect to wifi the phone puts a wifi connected notification and to which network. I disabled all wifi notifications and it still does it. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of this permanently? It's not crazy annoying but I just hate seeing useless notifications show up randomly.
