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.

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).

Fix activesync
Go to ---- setting connections/USB to PC
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

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...

Hey all!
Ok so i have rooted the rogers dream to i could tether the phone to my PC. now i have done this i cant see to tether, i have tried 2 different apps (code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and tetherWifi)
I dont seem to get an error message from the first tether program but the second seems to say "error: su: access granted"
Is there some way that maybe the app has not been given super user access?
Thanks!
Any help would be amazing
I am pretty sure to tether you have to call into Rogers and get tetheing activated first. I know for the iphone you have to do this. It should be the same deal with the Dream.

WHAT?????? Are you serious, thats the worst advice ever. You don't call them up to have it activated. I'm sure Rogers is like T-mobile and frown upon tethering cause it hogs up bandwidth.
Yea and while your at it tell them you rooted your phone. Tethering involves 0 help from your carrier, all your doing is sharing the connection from your phone so if it's not working something isn't setup right.
Also since bad advice is being given out. Go ahead and flash the new spl with the old radio. I heard that turns your phone into something cool.
Ya i know it sounds wierd but i guess there allowing it to sell larger data plans or soemthing.
I double checked on the Rogers site it says you have to have a minimum 1GB data plan to do tethering.
Thats why i thought you have to call in because the iphone prompted me to call in when i was trying to do it with a 512 MB data plan.
Scroll down to the bottom and you will find the tethering FAQ this page is for the iphone but i'm sure same rules apply to the Dream

@Phantom - Dude really just STFU.
@tiptop33 - Make sure you are rooted and that you have USB Debugging turned on. Without USB Debugging the SU app will sometimes timeout.

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. After registering I got the "Voice HD" or "VoLTE" updatehttp://cdn3.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

The VoLTE patch was not the day one patch. There have been three OTAs for the Turbo so far.
21.21.15 was a last minute bug fixer.
We think the Lollipop output. Do not like
After I got my phone every time location turns on the google message would pop up with the message improve accuracy approve decline etc.
I would always decline.
Then I found if I was connected to my wifi and left the house, upon returning the phone would auto connect to wifi and when it did location services would automatically turn on and the Google message would pop up approve or decline.
It was driving me nuts so I went into every app and turned off the option to change system settings but sure enough every time wifi reconnected the location service would turn on and the pop up would occur.
In the end I relented and selected approve.
Now I find if I select location and change preferred method for GPS to phone only or battery saver.
Now when my wifi reconnects location will turn on for maybe 1-2 seconds then switch off, thankfully he pop up doesn't appear now.
But if I go into the location settings straight after it has changed from preferred method of phone only or battery saver to high accuracy.
Seems dodgy, anyone else get this?
Never occurred on my s7

Could it be something like emergency 911 calling trying to get your location? I remember I had some issues with 911 calling having problems on wifi with locating my position, some time ago, but don't remember details any more. This may be required by law or at least concern your safety. But I'm not exactly sure what is your concern, once you're on wifi your internet address is known and location can be tracked more or less, by routers you're connected to, even if it takes some time.
Which option are you using? I'm assuming the middle one ?

I was using the bottom one phone only. Saves on power.
What I find odd is that once wifi reconnects location turns on changes setting to high accuracy then turns off.
Never had that happen on any other phone.

Mine doesn't do that. But then again I don't use WiFi, will have to check.
Edit. Just put WiFi on and its still on phone only.

Try turning off adaptive WiFi.
Yeah it's off. Since I've only been able to google one other person that has had this problem and it was on an s8, I'd say my mine has just glitched. Maybe a carry over from smart switch as I never use it when changing devices but this time I did.

Is it an app doing it I wonder? I would have thought that's no longer possible so it's gotta be the system. I never noticed it doing this prior to the Oreo FW update

Looks caused by google play service upgrade, a window will be pop-up for asking you improve the location accuracy as well.
Still not fixed.
Thanks

Probably caused by smart lock?
I have a note5, this was happening to me as well. I turned off "wifi-calling" and it stopped the wifi from turning itself on.
probable solution
I've got the same problem on s8+
I've set off Nearby device scanning @ settings -> connections -> more connections settings. And I've not seen any improve location accuracy prompts since. So far so good.
Edit: nope, it did not worked out. After I switch the display off and on prompt appears.
Has anyone found a solution?
My S8 is doing this too: dozens of times a day location will turn itself on, prompting the high accuracy message to pop up, interrupting whatever I'm doing - which is starting to get really annoying.
All app permissions to location services are off already.
I think it might be to do with WiFi calling. Has anyone found a solution yet?
I have a somewhat annoying pop out, but in my case, every time I open the phone app, appears a " turn on location? " it happens 7 out of 10 times, not always
On Android
Turn off "wifi calling"
Go to wifi settings > turn off "detect suspecious network"
Thats all !
During the last daylight savings time update, my 2020 Subaru Legacy got messed up and jumped a GPS Epoch, the car now thinks its the year 2040.
This throws a Communication Error 8 whenever I try to use Android Auto, manually setting the time does not work.
Reading Subaru forums, it seems that only replacing the cars central computing unit can reset this time, but that theres a several month delay getting the parts due to chip shortages. But with Covid ending I got a lot of driving to do this summer.
I have a Pixel 2XL thats rooted with Magisk and was wondering if there was any way to bypass this error and get AA working?

Swap the central computer is the only fix they know, when they get the part, which might be months. According to others its happened to, that fixed the issue, but at least one person had it come back later...so clearly an issue in their software. But not very optimistic i'll get it fixed anytime this summer...so thought there might be something i could do to trick it into thinking its the right time set via a magisk module or root app or something.
Have they tried to re-flash your Subie?
Here are my technician notes from the dealership:
per techline- this is a known issue, engineers are working on software update to correct concern but not available yet with no known timeframe for availability. for customer satisfaction ordered new cockpit control unit to correct issue. techline states- replacement CCU will correct concern, but does not know how long until concern returns, may not return. also stated, android auto compares time stamps from cellphone network to time stamps with gps network from car, if finds correlation issue will not pair phone. CCU on order/will call customer when it arrives
Got a replacement CCU, Android Auto working again.
