Wifi Icon - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying wifi icon on the left? I have tried and tried to get rid of it and it will not stay away?

I am also very intrigued by that icon, I hope someone here knows about it....

You have it too?

I can't get rid of it. It keeps coming back. It started after the recent update.

Do you use macrodroid?

No

I only get the icon on the left when I've connected to any open network that needs to open a web page to complete the connection.

I will swipe it away and it comes back

I am not sure if this helps but my 2 cents -
Own a 128gb N9500 from HK
Based in the US (friend brought it here)
I can add US based credit cards in the Samsung Pay app
Able to pay using Samsung Pay
Cannot change CSC to US so stuck with HK offers
I think as long as your bank supports Samsung Pay, you can add it regardless on where you got your device supporting Samsung Pay. Too bad that there's no dual sim option here in the US but if there were, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

it happened to my phone as well after the update. what I did is just put the "auto-protect" in OFF.
Setting-> connection-> wi-fi -> advanced (on the top) -> secure wi-fi Auto protect -> OFF
hope this will help

What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe try to restart you G1 or reboot it. I have never had this problem at all.Maybe check with some other users.
You should change the thread title to something more informative pertaining to your proble. Most of the time, the pros on here will pass by a thread just says help because they don't feel like entering a thread just to see if they *can* help at all. Also, it might allow others who have had the same problem and fixed to easily see your problem and come to the rescue.
Back to the problem at hand. Can you use the mobile data for anything? updating weather etc? If you can't then its probably something to do with your APN settings. Who is your carrier? T-Mobile? AT&T? To check what APNs you have now, go to: Settings>Wireless Controls> Mobile Network>APNs
If it is blank, that's why you can't connect, the phone doesn't know where to connect to. Simply type your carrier into google along with G1 APN settings (ie AT&T G1 APN settings) and they should tell you the correct settings to input in order for you to access your mobile network. Good luck.
P.S. Also add more information about what's going on with your phone so that we can figure it out quicker without having to ask you for everything one-by-one. You can tell us the ROM you're using, whether this is a new problem, or something that's never worked, your wireless carrier, your SSN (just kidding), but come on, some background info could make this process infinitely faster...

Verizon Nexus 6 Different from Motorola/GPlay?

I was going to order the phone from Verizon now that they are announced, but everywhere I read the only difference in hardware is the Verizon logo on the back and the fact that you can't get the 64gb version from them. Is this true? With the 5.1 Update to the Motorola sold/Google Play store sold phones they are the exact same hardware minus the logo correct? I can't find anyone saying anything about this. Even without the Verizon firmware it will still work with HD advanced calling? Thanks for the help.
As of right now, no 64gig or white version available. And I think you are correct about the phones are the same, just Verizon putting their tramp stamp on it.

Besides the branding, do not forget about the bloatware.

The bloatware will be tied to the SIM card from what i'm reading. Once the phone launches, us who have Moto store/GPE N6, will have the bloat downloaded from play store on initial set up. Keep in mind that the stuff that is downloaded is uninstallable. It's user apps, not system.
I am not concerned since the S/W can be removed.
As someone who is using a play store edition on verizon i get such a run around using a "unidentified device" bascially they wont let me do anything to my plan.... add wifi hotspot or enable advanced calling etc
I just got off the phone with them... and we are going through some paper work to register my device with their network so this shouldnt be an issue. but its been 5 months of this same bull crap....

I used the "My Verizon Nexus" app to enable Advanced Calling. Fired up the app, clicked on "change features" , added Advanced Calling and confirmed it. I noticed the cell radio turn off then back on and I have "Advanced LTE Calling" in my settings and it was enabled. My Motorola purchased Nexus 6 still shows up as "Non-VZW device" but I had no issues enabling advanced calling.

No Find my phone Verizon

Got a notification from Bixby today about setting up find my phone from Samsung. Went to do that and its not there. Verizon removed it because they offer a pay service that does the same. I know people have done system dumps, but i'm wondering has anyone added this feature back to phone that it was removed from?

just go to play store and download android device manager/ find my phone from google
I have that solution but from what I've researched the Samsung one can turn on the location if it's been turned off to facilitate finding the device.
I always use Cerberus and disable find my device. Have for yrs.

How does this even make sense? How would a device get a command to turn on if it's off? Also, no this isn't a feature for Samsung Find My Phone; it does have other neat features though

Wifi calling on unlocked Note 8

Hey guys, i created this topic as i didn't find one dedicated.
I have an issue with Wifi calling.
I bought a Note 8 from Samsung, so it is unlocked. On my notification screen i have a wifi calling button which is blue (so activated!?) but at the same time grayed out (i cannot interact with it). If i go to Phone app and Settings i do not have any Wifi calling option nor in the system apps as a service. So basically i dont have the wifi calling function and i really need it. My operator is Vodafone Romania and from what intel i gathered googling i called them and ask them to activate it (maybe push something to my phone, like a sms) but they said its got nothing to do with them. They said what i want is a setting in my phone and they only provide services.. so they cant help.
Can anyone advise me for this issue?? Many thanks

I'm no expert at this but I think the solution is to flash the specific SM-950F stock ROM for your operator (you'll need to use ODIN for that) because it will have the localized CSC customization that you are looking for
Settings>Advanced Calling > Wifi calling enabled is an option on my phone
mozell_rowell your phone is unlocked? I do not have this option on my unlocked phone.
I have discovered that the unlocked XEU firmware allows Wifi calling on EE(UK) but doesn't allow VoLTE, for that I needed EE's EVR firmware.
I had set up a new contract for my phone so Wifi calling didn't work for the first few days, causing a bit of confusion.
Anyway, you may be facing similar issues.

I'm on Vodafone UK and bought direct from Samsung and now have wifi calling
There was a threads on UK Vodafone forums about this problem it was not working even for phones direct from Vodafone
The solution is to call tech support at Vodafone and ask them to send the configuration to "update the provisioning" on your handset ... this is not same as mms or web configuration .
Good luck

The setting is hard to find. Go to settings>apps>system apps>WiFi calling and enable it there. If you have Verizon, it will NOT WORK. I learned this the hard way, and had to return my unlocked phone. Supposedly, wifi calling will work with most other services.

I tried that also. Been reading everything i can find on the web about it. Tried many things, unfortunately there is only one place where i have wifi calling (in my notification bar near other buttons but...i cannot interact with the button).
My disappointment is even higher now... I've called Samsung (in my country) asking them if its possible to flash my phone with a Vodafone branded ROM (i know i can do it myself but wanted to see what Samsung has to say in this matter). And...lol...they said they do not flash roms on request...lol. I think not many people know about wifi calling in my country. It looks its up to me to solve the issue but... naturally I'm nervous about it because i dont want to lose my guaranty.
From what i learned its only a matter of flashing a CSC from a branded ROM. Unfortunately i haven't flashed anything for 4 years now.... i am scared...and not afraid to admit it I did pay for this phone a lot of money

I am in the same boat as you, I live in NYC got an unlock phone thinking i'll get by with the HOTSPOT. But it doesn't work and I have no WIFI calling and no CAlling PLUS (sprint)
and would like to flash it to the stock ROM, so I don't have to go trough the procedure of returning this phone and getting a Carrier version.
Let me know how you make out. I can't find anything on youtube about this
I got probably a solution for some. You can install shorcut master (lite) from Play Store. Go to apps explorer and search for IMS settings scroll down to last one imssettingslauncheractivity and launc it; then you have to switch all those toggles to on under ims service switch. Restart phone...and for some now all those services will work including volte and wifi calling.

I agree fully with @pigglett post above. (last Paragraph.) ......
................
" The solution is to call tech support at Vodafone and ask them to send the configuration to "update the provisioning" on your handset ... this is not same as mms or web configuration ."
....................
I noted that you already did this.(speak to service provider)
Wifi calling,
however depends firstly,
if you phone
and Rom support this (yes... your phone should ? )
Then it depends on your service provider..!
to activate wifi calling. (even though you might see
relevant wifi button etc in settings)
I am with service provider Vodacom ( @ Vodafone)
Above, is the procedure i had to follow.
I have volte , and wifi calling enabled on my device.
I also tried all sorts of shortcuts /options.
No luck
I would advise you to speak to
someone in senior management (technical section) Otherwise you wasting your time.
Good luck
I have just come off a web chat with Samsnug Uk and the Samsung representative confirmed that their engineers have now confirmed wifi calling is disabled on UK handsets until they are happy that it's working ok, I had spoken with Vodafone prior to the call today who have enabled the function numerous times on my account but to no avail The Samsung representative said they would release an update for NUgget once they were happy it was working ok. I asked for a timeline and was told that information was unavailable.....

The majority of my calls are wifi, including several over the past day or two. I would be surprised if Samsung intervened in the manner described without attracting a significant measure of publicity.
The issue is Vodafone Romania does not support WI-Fi calling. The only networks in Romania supporting such feature are Digi Mobil (https://www.rcs-rds.ro/volte-vowifi) and Orange (https://www.orange.ro/tehnologii/apel-wifi/). I have the same unlocked dual sim Note 8 (pre-ordered form Altex) and am with the same carrier (Vodafone Romania). I enquired with them about the feature and their consultant told me that such feature is not yet supported. Moreover I inserted my wife's Digi Mobil SIM into the phone and it works unexpectedly well, the option in the notification panel became accessible and was able to use Wi-Fi calling. I know this is not exactly the response you were hoping for but unfortunately, at least for now, it seems we have to live with it.
Cheers!
I don't think you'll be able to enable it until the phone can detect that your provider is actually offering wifi calling as a service

Verizon alert keeps popping up

My phone is constantly being interrupted by this annoying popup: (I can't post links being a new user, but the image is at imgur FN7uUhL )
"Alert
Sorry, we're having trouble connecting. Make sure you have a good signal and try again. If you still can't connect, call us at 800-922-0204.
Error code 1001"
It doesn't say what app it is, but I suspect it's from Verizon because the phone number is theirs.
My phone is unlocked and I use it on Personal in Argentina. I've used this phone for years and this only started happening last Thursday out of nowhere. No new apps, no system upgrade.
Rebooting the phone doesn't help either, and I wouldn't want to factory reset if it can be avoided. Any ideas what this might be?
Thanks!
same, just today noticed this on an older LG G4
Alert Message - Same thing here...
Same thing here have had Moto E4 Plus on Metro PCS for the last few years and just started receiving this message in the last week. The phone was a Verizon phone that I unlocked and has been working great on Metro...until now. What's going on?
This issue has me needing to toss my note 5 in the lake I wonder has anyone called the number in the error message thanks happens when i need every second . My note 5 unlocked and running on cricket

Same here on my note 4, using T-mo prepaid. Just started a week ago. Also the verizon splash screen still displays on power up. My understanding is the V boot loader is locked.

SOLVED I had the same problem as well but I found a way to get rid of it, you gotta disable the My Verizon app and then 1 settings then mobile networks then network mode and set the global off to LTE/GSM/UMTS and then it will not pop up anymore, your welcome.
by Myles Tecomba
Good news, I found the locations since I don't have "my verizon apps" Bad news, the fix does NOT work at all.
Solved
I actually got online with Motorola because I knew that the app causing this nightmare was Verizon Login . The problem is that I debloated all my Verizon and the problem still occurred. But then by going through Settings | Apps | ... |Show System, I say the bugger was still there. I disabled it and the problem was solved. Of course this worked for me because I'm on an unblocked phone and note using Verizon.
My husbands Samsung Galaxy S7 has been doing this for over a month. He tried disabling anything Verizon related and even a factory reset and it's still doing it.

Yes, I did same with my note 4, still there. IGNORE those solved posts, this problem is NOT solved. I use T-mobile prepaid with this phone and since verizon locks the boot loader, there is not yet a rooting solution for this phone and since it's a note 4 there will not be one forthcoming.
fixed it permanently
SOLVED: I have two Verizon phones that I now use on T-Mobile and this has worked for both.
Settings->Apps & Notifications->App Info (options may be slightly renamed on different versions of Android, may be Applications instead, just get to the big list of applications in the Settings app)
then hit the triple dot/menu thing to give extra options and choose Show System
Scroll down and choose Verizon Login and disable it and force stop it.
Message will be gone forever. I've rebooted both phones several times and the message has never come up again.
In addition, disable permissions of My Verizon: SMS, phone and GPS location, your welcome

So I have an old Verizon tablet that is running android 5.1.1. I don't have options for "show system" or "Verizon login" that I can find. Anybody familiar with this 5.1.1 that knows where it would be or if I'm overlooking. Thanks.
Awesome! I'm using an unlocked Verizon LG G5 in Canada and I've been trying for quite some time to get rid of this problem. I've tried all the suggested fixes I could find on the net and this is the solution! Thanks so much buddy. Much appreciated eh!
This problem started recently for me on Samsung S6 unlocked Verizon phone that I use with foreign SIM cards when traveling. I tried restoring settings to default, but that didn't work. Then I tried resetting network settings and that appears to have worked. it was popping up every couple minutes and so far it has not.
don't work
i know this is a old post but i changed the network it didnt fix it it made me not have signal and still popped up so i had to change it back to global and its still doing it , it only started last month i have a s6 unlocked verzion its so annoying

I had the same problem on my unlocked S6 Edge and knew that the Verizon Login app was the issue but the damn phone wouldn't let me disable it; grayed out. I bought an app in the Play Store named "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)" for $2.99. The thing will let you disable ANY software whether built in or not. So once you launch, disable Verizon Login with it and the problem is gone. If you disable "Setup Wizard", you also won't get the stupid message about the SIM not being VZW card when you boot. I disabled all the other Verizon software too. Problem was so aggravating that I got an account here just to share the answer since I figure it has to be driving people CRAZY!!!!

Help!!!
Still having this issue, I’ve disabled all those apps, force stopped them, and it continues to haunt the phone. I’ve called Verizon and they don’t know anything about it, and I’m really about to throw the phone away and buy a new one. It’s an s7 so it’s still a decent phone, but I don’t know what else to do
So Close, but Disable is Disabled

This definitely got me closer. Using this method I was able to revoke permissions which forces VZ SpyLogin to fail so it isn't running, BUT, the "Disable" button is disabled, even if I force stop the app. It's most certainly this application causing the issue. Thanks for the closest solution.
**EXTRA info
This wasn't happening at all on my phone ever, and this is an old one (I need the IR blaster in the Samsung G6). It's an unlocked Verizon branded phone running on ATT network. I factory reset it yesterday and now I am getting this annoying Verizon Login nonsense.
