Please tell me how to turn this off. I get constant pop-ups and alerts and it is very annoying and distracting. If it can not be removed please tell me how to send this back.
Do you have a Notify option?
Go to Settings -> WiFi-> tap on the three dots -> Advanced -> Notify Me -> Off.
Check your settings for the latest updates again perhaps your software is out of date and the issue has been fixed in a newer version?
Swipe down from the top, long press the wi-fi icon and uncheck the box at the top "Show Wi-Fi pop-up".
I have read this, but it does not work. I pull down and long press and it changes to "Android System". If I press the icon on the notification it give me the option to make it "priority"
I have been to every help forum on the web, I have changed every setting that I can find, and short of rooting it (which i don't want to do), there seems to be no way to turn this off. I will contact Verizon tomorrow and either get a phone that does not do this or lets me turn it off.
Thank you for trying to help!
What version of Android are you running?
How about
Settings> Wi-Fi> menu> advanced> uncheck notify me and scanning always available.
Android 5.0.1
Network Notification - unchecked
Show WiFi pop-up - unchecked
Scanning always available - unchecked
I really hate this. I have read that it is coded by Verizon in an attempt to prompt people to get off of the 4G network and connect to WiFi, but it is so annoying. I drive for a living and every time I pass a WiFi signal, it gives me a notification. I clear it and a mile later it pops back up. I think I will just disable WiFi, if possible. To make matters worse, it is not remembering my home WiFi and I have to put in my password every time I turn WiFi back on. I think I may send this back for an iPhone. I am not an iPhone guy, but my work iPhone does not do this...or send it back and cancel my plan. I have a work phone. Verizon has been so disappointing lately.
Sorry, but that only turns off the "pop up Window" when entering apps that use data. it does not prevent the wifi notification from being posted to the notification Q every 15 minutes. I have complained about this issue my self. every tine I pick up the phone I must now dismiss this notification. So far not response from anyone at Verizon. The local store didn't have any answers either.
SEE this thread: Re: Constant wifi notifications - HTC One (M8)
Did anyone ever figure this out? I have Wifi notifications turned off and they are still appearing every time I connect? Please Advise.
I have not got anywhere either. I have just turned WiFi off unless I am at home. It is a real PITA.
Short of rooting your phone and installing something like NotifyClean sounds like you'll have to deal with it for now.
Find the Verizon "Digital Secure" app in your phone (previously known as "Security and Privacy"). You may have to search your built-in apps to find it. Open the app and you will be at the "Security Insights" page. Tap on "Security and Privacy," then "Wi-Fi Security." Then turn "Wi-Fi Protection" to OFF. Note that you will not be warned about unprotected networks, so you're choosing to take the risk when you connect to these networks.
This should work for any Verizon Android phone. Find the Verizon "Digital Secure" app in your phone (previously known as "Security and Privacy"). You may have to search your built-in apps to find it. Open the app and you will be at the "Security Insights" page. Tap on "Security and Privacy," then "Wi-Fi Security." Then turn "Wi-Fi Protection" to OFF. Note that you will not be warned about unprotected networks, so you're choosing to take the risk when you connect to those networks. However, most people know about this risk anyway, and the pop-ups from the app are just annoying.
