Just extract the nowifinotif.exe file and copy to \Windows\StartUp on your device and perform a soft reset.
It works on my HTC Touch Pro, I'm assuming it will work for any HTC device or possible any WM6 device.
Let me how how it works, and what device your using.
Disabling the notification will work on my device, however after each soft reset they are back. This will fix that issue
This is a standard setting...unless you are trying to do something different.
Settings->Sounds/Notifications
Wireless networks in the dropdown.
Uncheck all of the notifications.
yes, i know it's a setting under notifications.
this is for all the people like myself where that setting doesn't hold. when i soft-reset my device the notifications would come back and i would have to disable it every time. I have bumped into many posts about it with no fix. this is that fix.
Gotcha, that's cool. I've never seen it not stick but that would be a crappy problem.
Nice work on the fix.

Wow for song long i have been annoyed about the wifi popup notification, i knew about the setting but assumed it did nothing, not that it worked but didnt stay
Your app works spot on, is there anyway to still have the sound alert enabled (sonar or something), but just disable the onscreen notification?
Sure
Sure here you go, it assumes you have the file \Windows\Alert-Sonar.wma
and plays that sound when a network is detected. If you don't have that file just rename or create one with that name and put it in your windows directory.
If you are still paying attention to this thread, I would appreciate advice
Hi,
I have a new HTC 6800.
I would LOVE for the file posted as the solution to work for me as I have the same problem with popping up notifications.
However when I installed the file and did a soft reset I get this message:
The program is from an unknown publisher, running it can possibly harm your device do you want to continue?
When I click "yes" I then get this message:
Unable to run the file nowifinotif the certificate is invalid
Ugh. Is there anything that I can do to get the file to run?
thanks!
Oh snap - another solution just found
OK,
Nevermind my last question - another solution was just found.
This model has a side button to turn on/off the wi-fi - who knew! Well, mobiletechreview.com, thankfully!
"don’t fret: slide the Wi-Fi slider on the left side of the Mogul to turn Wi-Fi on. "
So, I'll just turn the Wi-Fi off unless I actually want to use it, which eliminates the constant notifications. Whew.

Hi Chet,
Thank you for your solution! How does it work?
Also, any idea what causes the issue in the first place?
Thank you,
Jeff
Good idea, I've read a number of posts about this, but have assumed it was a GSM phone problem. Could anyone confirm what phones have the problem and which don't?

I don't know exactly but I've been using it myself for a while with no problems. I'm guessing it writes changes to the registry keys that control wifi notifications.
The problem is likely to be that some process is writing some other changes on each soft reset. That's my guess anyway.
How it works
Yes your correct, I don't know why it happens only what's happening and how to fix it.
When you disable the notifications under settings on your device it changes the following values under the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\Notifications\<"SOME GUID"> with the ".DEFAULT" value = to "Wireless network detected".
after you soft reset your device this registry setting gets reset for some reason.
The other values under this key are:
"Options", "AvailableOptions", and "Wave".
Options is what kind of notification is currently assigned (none, sound, popup, ect)
AvailableOption is your choices of what you could pick from
And wave is what sound will play if enabled.
My program just sets this value back at startup. I can post the source code if anybody actually wants it, but yeah I have no idea why it's happening.
Thank you, Chet. That helps me understand a little more.
no problem
Works for me
Chet,
Thanks, works for me. Small problem, but very annoying.
I've found a few other boards with this question, and I've pointed them here.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=114943&jump=true
Yeah it's an anooying bug. As a workaround I just made a .WAV file with no sound (just 1 second of silence) and assigned that one to the WLAN detecten notification. Works also
What About Other Notifications
Chet,
That was great. But I've noticed almost the same thing happens for "new email" and for "Reminders".
For both of those, I have "display message on screen" unchecked, but the phone still displays the message onscreen. However, in this case, the boxes remain unchecked after reboots.
Have you noticed that HTC's TF3D interface displays a callout box (cartoon quote) for the on screen reminders in the header, so that if I get new email and a calendar appointment, or some other reminder like an SMS or missed call, I get a "callout" box shaped notification at the top of my screen. Now, I get curious as to what the message is, so I click it. TF3D then opens their "easy icon view" screen, on which a bigger callout box is one of the buttons. I click that, and the standard MSFT tiny icons appear at the top of the screen again for "new email" and some other useless reminder like "Mtg at Johns". I need to click these tiny reminders, one at a time, then view the display message on screen, then click the soft "dismiss" button. Is this an easy way of handling reminders that I didn't want in the first place. @#$# HTC and MSFT!!
Any ideas?
This sounds great! I have a Fuze (with TAEL ROM) and this has been annoying me for a while. I suspect most people don't see it because they have wifi turned off most of the time. In my case, it's always on as I don't have a data plan
Is there any way to stop the screen turning on when I receive a text, I dont always want to read it straight away and when the screen comes on in my pocket I find i press all sorts of things.
Very annoying.
start - settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications (tab at bottom) - select "Messaging: new text message" and unclick box for display message on screen.
Hi,
What about delivery notification ? It's not possible to change notifications about it, and it's always turn the screen on.
thats what i thought i have the box unchecked and the screen still comes on

Hmmm - I think this is a bug in the system because I have heard other people with this problem and I personally have the box checked to see the window but it does not always appear.
A soft reset should correct the behaviour BUT the problem will return.
Try at least the soft reset and you will see the correct behaviour (if only for a while !!)
how annoying is this an issue of tf3d overriding windows settings?
Also interested in dropping the screen wake up upon sms arrival and confirmation text. No need, the sound/vibration is enough.

Tried this, it still wont work.
Anyone had any luck getting rid of this issue?
Ultimately I dont want the screen to wake up unless
a: someone is calling me
or
b: i turn it on
Any ideas?
Try with HD Tweak. I enabled the option in HD Tweak, but found the same issue (I was making calls when the phone was in my pocket and I received a text message). Then, I disabled from the same HD Tweak and it didn't turned on the screen anymore.
I did a search of the forums and found 2 post without any solution to this problem. It started happening today to me and I've tried almost everything to make it work, i dont want to resort to a hard reset. Does anyone know how to solve this? My vibrate motors work fine as I just reverted back from an HTC Magic Port and my messages were vibrating perfectly fine.
Bump Still searching, found info that suggest a reboot removes this or setting the volume all the way down to silent then to vibrate would force it to fix itself. My G1 Still is not vibrating but the engine is perfectly fine because I keep testing it with a Magic Rom (H5.0.2).
Well, the obvious question is, have you gone into the messaging app and set it to vibrate?
Done all the sets already to properly troubleshoot the problem. Deleted any program having to do with calls and sms and still nothing.
Well then the only thing left is a factory reset. Once thats done make sure to go back into the messaging app and set it to vibrate.
If that doesnt fix it and you are running a rooted phone then reflash whatever firmware you are running.
An actual answer!
I had the same problem as you... i just got my phone yesterday, and I've been trying to get it to vibrate... and finally i found out how to! Go into messaging app (if a thread is open, click the MENU button press "more" then "all threads"); click the MENU button; press "settings"; at the very bottom of the list press "vibrate".
I am confused as how to remove the notification on my left soft key when my bluetooth headset is connected.
even though I hit the hide button, the notification comes back. so I cannot use the left soft key as it now shows notification all the times.
is there any registry tweak to disable it?
I search and only find how to remove sms notification or disable the bluetooth disconnect sound only.
please help as this really annoying.
thanks
Did You try Settings -> Sounds & Notifications?

yes, but it's not there...
Well, then what about using Google? Like finding this util - http://journal.zenyee.com/2006/11/10/diy-software-hack-for-window-mobile-phone/ with a simple query (http://www.google.com/search?num=50...=3892l3892l0l5848l1l1l0l0l0l0l106l106l0.1l1l0) but since the download doesn't work, You can ask the blog author.
Or if that doesn't work, You could check what happens if You delete the notification from queue manually (with SKTools or Dotfred's taskmgr). And if that works, then You could write maybe a small mortscript to take care of this. There are tons of ways You can help Yourself. There isn't a ready-coded solution for everything here as all the devices are different. We can only show You the door, but You are the one that has to go through it.
Hi, thank you for the answer. I did search using google but I couldn't find it.
I used the remove bluetooth softkey and other combinations but I couldn't get the answer.
Anyway, yes the program is not downloadable anymore.
I already post on his web hopefully he still has the program to share with me.
anyway thanks a lot...
OK, glad I could help. Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button, if You really feel that way
yes, I have waited for a couple days but so far I haven't got any replied from him. I PMed him already. Hopefully he still has the file as he is the only person who has this kind of modification...
I have searched everywhere but nobody seems to have it.
if someone still has it, please share it with me as I desperately need to get this...
thanks
Hello Everybody
My P8 Lite Don't give me notification unless i open apps like whatsapp and viber and i marked show notification for them
any help please
You said, you've got the notification enabled for those apps, so there's only one thing that can cause problem, like this.
Go to your Settings > Power saving, then scroll down, and check the Protected apps menu.
Checked means it can run even if the screen is off.
Report back if it's worked for you, please.
Solved

Thx Man It Works For Me
I have whatsapp checked and I dont recieve the notifications, it is sudden.. I have to reset the phone.
It works fine and suddenly stops.
thks
same as @manuz89, if i reboot the phone it works but a few minutes later its bad again
i already have "normal" preset in battery settings, whatsapp its protected and all notification toggles are ON
im clearing cache right now and if it dont work i'll factory reset the phone
All other apps works properly, I think is a compatibility problem between Whatsapp and P8lite. Don't think factory reset will work
Before this phone, I had a S3 Mini, and that phone also had notification issues with WhatsApp...Maybe it's the app, not the phone
kitkat was fine, its the lollipop version with the problem.
But does this happen to everyone? Do you think someone will have an answer soon or we should just go back to kitkat.?
Thks
try changing your power mode to Normal, in case Smart is turning off a connection somewhere
Notification problem
I have the same problem - no notifications for whatsapp. All settings are correct. I.e. Notifications is allowed, power saving is normal, Whatsapp is protected. What else can I try? If I reset to factory will it delete all my photos etc?

No need factory reset. Anyway notifications of Viber(may be Whatsapp) do not work on this phone. You can easy resolve this bug with Light Flow - LED&Notifications. I use this method and work great!
unfortunately that app is not free. is there any other solutions. i did all those mentioned above including locking the app in the recent app tray. still, the problem persists. previously i used a xiaomi phone, it still had notifications although delayed for minutes
hi
just go to setting/screen lock& passwords/ screen lock style / and change it to default(magazine).
then you will see ( notification panel ¬ification turn on screen......) it will save the problem.
note : after you can change your lock screen picture and choose from your gallery.
Solved
Hello.
I had the same problem with whatsapp. After many research, i think i have found the solution:
Enable background data for Google Play Services app and allow notifications as well for this app.
(PS This solutions is mentioned also in the FAQ from whatsapp )))))) .. that simple
It worked for me.. try
