Problem wit Internet Sharing Program

When I plug in my USB cable my phone used to give me the option of Activsync,disc drive, and Internet Sharing and one day by mistake I selected Internet Sharing and now everytime I plug in my USB cable it opens up Internet Sharing. So is there anyway to stop it from doing this and giving me back the selection?
Thanks in Advance for any insight on this

I have had this problem many, many times.
What I try first is, instead of closing Internet Sharing after plugging it in, just leave it open and unplug your phone before closing it. Sometimes, for some reason, that seemed to do the trick.
If that doesn't work, go to:
Settings > System > USB Settings
And uncheck "Enable faster data synchronization"

This is only a temporary fix, if you need to get ActiveSync working. Well, you can leave it like that forever if you want. Other than this fix, I'm not sure how to solve the issue. Usually I would just deal with it until I decided to flash again.. then uncheck that box, get ActiveSync running, and flash. After the flash, it would be working fine again (until it decided to get stuck on Internet Sharing again).
So, I try to stay away from Internet Sharing if I can. One alternative now is the HTC Wifi-sharing/Router app for your TP. It's pretty sweet, but pretty heavy on the battery, I'm sure.. and I noticed my phone got pretty warm after like 20 minutes of using that app (which is expected).

Under activesync, uncheck enabled advanced mode funtionality.
Good Luck

Thanks for the advice but I just wiped my device to re-boot the rom...and I have the Wifi program it's cool and will come in handy in so many ways

No problem. Usually I don't have an answer to questions on here but this time I did (or thought so) so I decided to chime in.
No kidding, the HTC Wifi-sharing app is sweet! I didn't even know our phones had that capability (to OUTput wifi.... hmm..) and so I was very pleasantly surprised when I found out about it. Very useful and sweet app.

the problem is that you are closing out the program without disconnecting. i have hard reset a million times with this problem, until i figured this out
all you have to do is plug in your phone. click connect when internet sharing opens. let it connect, then tap disconnect. then close out internet sharing, unplug your phone.
in the future when your done with internet sharing, tap disconnect, close internet sharing THEN disconnect your phone

Or....
settings/system/usb settings/[check: ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to PC]
This way you choose the connection.

No. This is already selected by default, and the OP and I (along with others, I'm sure) still experience the issue when it's already selected. Unchecking the box, applying, and rechecking the box still doesn't work (in my experience).

Yeah, I know. I just get frustrated sometimes when some people suggest the most obvious "fixes" (like checking the box to ask what to do when connected to USB) when the said obvious "fix" doesn't work. lol
Thanks for your post, btw.

FWIW, that is not a cure-all. I had the same problem and, just in general troubleshooting, followed the steps you describe two or three times at least with no success. For some reason, though, manually changing the state of the registry key that holds the state of that checkbox (it's in HKLM\Software\OEM\USBtoPC, the key name is obvious but it escapes me at the moment) is what worked for me. I had to disable the popup and then re-enable it, and I was back in business...

IMS = IP Multimedia Subsystem
IP = Internet Protocol
SIP = Session Initiation Protocol
With setting off, SMS is sent/received over 1x circuit switched connection
With setting on SMS is supposedly sent/received over a SIP session over IP (e.g. LTE)
I got this from another thread. Did you try rebooting it again? When its registered I definitely sent and received texts much faster

This update was the Day One update that should have been installed the day you purchased the phone. It is sort of like a last minute final version of the software that should have been on the phone before you got it. Never did find out any information about what it covered.

Found out that you must register the IMS on your My Verizon page. It's under features(no extra charge):laugh: For some reason you can't do it on your phone, you must do it from a computer.

I can see that, but I don't usually use GPS on my phone. A few times here and there since I have gps in my car, so the location is turned of 99% of the time.
what i am saying is that this started happening just recently, meanwhile the location settings has been the same for much longer.

things change. especially if you google play services app updated itself. if you leave it on the battery saving option, it wont turn wifi on and use it, unless you already have wifi on.

also, is there a way prevent google play services from updating automatically? I have been thinking that it may has something to do with it.

yes, i have a nexus 5 as well, and it works exactly the same way on it. if you put location to high accuracy, it will try to use wifi. and if you put it on battery saving, it wont automatically use wifi. about google play services updating itself, i dont know. but when its not updated, many google services/apps stop working.

I understand that, what im trying to say is that my location is turned off but wifi shows on. Also, when you first set it on high accuracy, there is pop-up notification that tells you can either agree to use wifi or not to help determine the location. I opted not to let it use wifi.

Getting lots of wifi notifications, can't stop them

Hi all - I've searched everywhere but cannot find an answer, would be grateful for any suggestions.
I have a New Zealand Note 9 from 2degrees and since getting it a few weeks ago have been getting a strange sound notification which is somehow related to wifi. It occurs when I come home and when out and about and seems to be due to something like the presence of open wifi connections or maybe something to do with wifi calling. Its an odd sound as well, 4-5 robotic notes and its not one of the notification sounds that you can choose from.
Things I've tried from looking at multiple forums:
NFC and bluetooth off
Accessibility notification off
Reset all notifications settings
The main solution seems I've seen is to turn off the setting "notify me when wifi is available or connected" in the wifi advanced settings, but I do not have this option.

If you go to Apps then click the three dots at the top right hand corner and show system apps. The select "android system". There is plenty of network notification options there to try.

Two things you can do
1. if rooted you can use an xposed module to disable notifications for that
2. other way is you can use app quarantine pro or greenify or some other app to freeze "settings" which blocks the wifi popup, although I'm not sure if that works for your android version but it does work for mine which is kitkat and s5... still might work on new devices

Thanks Limey - had already done that.
Great suggestions zxzxzx......will try those apps and if not successful will root. Was on the fence about rooting but it looks like this may work and the phone is driving me mad.
Also, Pie update is due any day in New Zealand, maybe that will fix it.
Cheers SH

Hi all
Thanks again for the suggestions. It's driving me mad and I may well sell the phone and take a hit.
One more clue...it seems to happen a minute or so after I use the phone, turn it off and then start walking around. Don't think it is location services as does it with location off. And don't think it is when it finds open wifi networks as it happens when in the middle of nowhere and no wifi nearby. Happens nearly every time I go from home office to lounge. Happens with BT, NFC, data roaming all off.
Factory reset did not help, happened straight away, even with no new apps installed.
Could it be related to wifi calling somehow? I need this feature though as have little cell coverage at home. No options to change any wifi calling settings though, other than on and off.
Cheers SH

Question Bixby routines mobile hotspot can't connect

I have a Bixby Routine created so that whenever my phone connects to my car's Bluetooth, then turn on mobile hotspot. The issue is that when this event triggers, the mobile hotspot says "Please wait while verifying" then I usually get an error saying "Unable to connect". If I manually turn on mobile hotspot, it works. If turn off my Bluetooth then turn it back on and connect to my car's Bluetooth in order to re-trigger the routine, it works. But when I first get in my car and the Bluetooth connects, the hotspot fails to turn on because it thinks there's no data. I thought maybe it was due to battery optimization since my phone's screen is off, so I disabled optimization for the settings app, but that didn't fix it. I've tried playing with the mobile hotspot settings, but that also hasn't fixed it. I thought maybe it was my adblocker, so I turned that off, turned off my screen, got in my car, it tried to turn on the hotspot, but still said unable to connect. I'm running out of ideas.

I think I figured it out. The error only happens when the phone is locked. I deduced this because when my phone is locked and want to turn on the hotspot, I have to unlock it before it turns on. Thus, if my phone is unlocked before the Bixby routine triggers, no error. Unfortunately, enabling the "keep your phone unlocked" routine option (works via Smart Lock) doesn't help, even if I have it set to occur before the hotspot in the list of routine actions. I have to make sure the phone is unlocked before the Bluetooth connection/routine trigger.

I'm confused about your "keep phone unlocked" routine. Why do you even have a routine for this when Smart Lock can do it for you all on its own. If you're using some kind of routine for both unlocking and toggling hotspot then the order of this would be important but any delay to the unlocking would interfere with the hotspot routine and cause failure. Under Smart lock settings, if you have added your cars Bluetooth as a trusted device then this will run instantly and then the routine should work as this is always likely to be slower. If it still isn't, consider adding a delay in the hotspot routine after the trigger but before the action so that it gives time for the unlock to happen (should be instant but you never know).

Thanks for the reply. Smart Lock says "After you unlock your phone, it stays unlocked when it's connected to a trusted device..."
If I add my car's Bluetooth connection as a trusted device under Smart Lock, it says "Smart Lock can't detect the security features of this device. To help protect your phone, *Bluetooth device* will only be able to keep your phone unlocked once it's already unlocked by you. Your *Bluetooth device* can keep your phone unlocked when it's nearby, even if someone else is holding it."
So regardless, I have to initially unlock my phone myself manually. Keeping it unlocked isn't useful if it can't do the initial unlock on its own, which is what I need in order for the mobile hotspot to be able to turn on. So enabling Smart Lock directly or via Bixby Routines doesn't seem to make a difference.

Ah. Ok. That makes complete sense. I've never come across that message about security features before which is strange because my cars Bluetooth is 12 years old! You think it would be prime for that message. Unfortunately I can't think of anything else that can perform an unlock automatically. Maybe you will have to get used to unlocking your phone on the walk to the car.

Yep, exactly. I've made it a habit now to make sure the phone is unlocked before turning the car on and that's been working.

I'm beyond explaining this...

same here. i want to auto unlock my phone when the car's bluetooth is connected. So that an app can run correctly(it doesn't run when the phone is locked).
"Smart Lock can't detect the security features of this device. To help protect your phone, *Bluetooth device* will only be able to keep your phone unlocked once it's already unlocked by you. Your *Bluetooth device* can keep your phone unlocked when it's nearby, even if someone else is holding it."
This message sucks. what kind of security features? what criteria it must have for it to work? it doesn't say anything. and i can't find any info about this.
