[Fix] Disable Wireless Networks Detected Notification

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

Appointment reminder bubble not showing after softreset

Hello all,
I dug into a few WinMo boards, including this one, but couldn't come close to what keeps bugging me. I think I'll give it a try, so mods please accept apologies if this is a repost or if this has been asked before.
I heavily rely on my calendar to remind me of all the stuff I need to remember. In the "sounds & notifications" options, I've set the reminders to play some wav, to vibrate the phone and to display a notification bubble.
The issue is the following: sound & vibrate work fine, but as soon as I perform a soft-reset, the notification bubbles don't show anymore, even if the "display message" option is checked in the settings. I get the little bell icon in the top bar, and from there I can click on it in the HTC action screen to open the bubble, but it doesn't pop up automatically unless I go back to the settings, uncheck the option and save, then go again in the settings, check the option and save.
I tried to clean up the notification queue with SKTools, but it didn't changed anything. I'm pretty sure this bug wasn't present when I bought the phone, about 4 months ago. Is there any tweak or reg hack that would help me circumvent this very nasty annoyance, or should I hopelessly head for an hard-reset ?
Thanks in advance for any help one can bring.

I have the same issue - be interested to hear of any fix.

Me too, also same problem on touch pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3228098&postcount=5

I get this as well, very irritating

Me too ! This is a very irritating problem, no fix found
anywhere on the Internet

Same here. Its a terrible bug that has plagued Touchflo 3D since the Diamond...

Isn't there a third party app that shows announcements to fix this TF3D issue?

It isn't a tf3d issue, I run a ROM wihtout tf3d and it still occurs. Works fine for a while and then the display bubble stops popping up.
I've tried galarm as a third party alarm solution but this must rely on the system popup to give it focus because the same thing happens.
Very irritating, affects me when my wakeup alarm goes off and I have to mess around for ages to get it to cease.

Are you using wktask ? If so, it is being hidden by it. In your preference under the first tab, check the option for hide the task list when there is no task.

No, although I have used it in the past and it is a very good task manager. Seems to be the settings under sounds & notifications for reminders which revert to unticked "display on screen". I tick it again and it is OK for a few days then it "unticks" itself. Weird. I am using Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 but I can't see that this should affect it.

Its not a wktask or wisbar issue as im not running either of those...

Same problem here.

other problems with bubble...
Hi,
I'm having the same problem as above on my Touch Pro 2, but also, if the reminder includes a '&' it shows as a '_' in the bubble. A bit of an ASCII problem maybe?
If HTC is watching, the reminder bubble integration into TF3D has gained us problems and removed the ability to snooze the alarm... not really an improvement.
Problem I have, is that if HTC supply a fix at the ROM level (as with the GPS and SMS fixes) Vodafone won't take it up for months, if ever.
Cheers

I have figured it out the Alarm & calendar notifications issue. These settings will display Alarm & calendar notifications on screen with out clicking the little bell on top of the screen all the time.
Go to Menu --> settings --> Sounds & Notifications under “Personal” tab --> select “Events” under Sounds tab then --> go to “Notifications” tab --> select “Reminders” option from drop-down list for Event field --> Select “Display message on screen” and then click OK on top of the window.
You can select other number of options from drop-down menu to display the notifications.
Hope this will solve most people’s notification issue.

Screen comes on when message received

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.

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.

Bug in official WM6.5?

Anyone noticed that while weather is in automatic update, and you press the "activitymanager" on the far right top to see what programs are running etc, the today screen freezes. The weather effects stop and the clock will jump back an hour or something and then back again once you leave the "activitymanager" and go back to today screen. Same thing when you press and hold the endcall button to turn keylock on, the weather effects+clock will go wild just before it goes into lock mode. Anyone else seen this??

It's like this even if you don't have automatic weather-update. The 'error' with the clock jump 61 minutes back in time is normal in Sense. Try to click the endcall-button in homescreen - the clock flips and the weather-effect resets

I initially found this problem. You need to go into settings - sounds and notifications - advanced: scroll down to text messages and check the box to sound event.

Another bug (?) I found is that when you have your headset connect and get an incomming call the ringtone only sounds in the headset. So if you have your phone in the pocket you miss the call.
Anyone else with the same irritating problem?

I have the same touchflo-freeze-when-taskman-is-open - bug.
But ... for some reason I like windows' default new todayscreen more then touchflo! It seems way more to the point.

problem with clock / battery icon on taskbar
With WM 6.5, when I check "see clock on all programs" in clock and alarms I see clock on taskbar all the time (home screen). With WM 6.1, it was displayed the battery icon in home screen and the clock only in programs... Anybody knows how change it in WM 6.5? What registry I must change?
Thanks

manila start menu
anyone had any luck with mapping the start button to the manila programs tab on the touchflo.

Are the ppl at HTC aware of these issues or are they Microsoft-related? Has anyone reported the bugs to HTC? Any response?
Its just incredible that they release a ROM where there are so many bugs. They have to be aware of these, I cant believe that they dont...

I found a very strange "bug" ... I guess:
I can't touch the volume keys in sence... up or down key will result in a "services.exe" error and the phone gets really slow.
Anyone???

Yes, I use the excellent TopazKbdControl which can be found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4722478&postcount=2.
You need to remap the Windows key (or HOME key as it's called) so that on the Click event it performs the action "Run program". Set the program to run as "\Windows\manila.exe", and the arguments as "--switchtopage programs.page" (both without quotes). Works perfectly, no more horrible Windows Start page!

weirdness on the slide lock

Greetings all.. After installing the Dusk theme, my phone no longer automatically locks when the screen times out. I have to hit the lock button. Any thoughts on this??

The stock lock feature is a part of TF3D. If you're not running TF3D as your Today screen the lock timeout won't function.

I do like S2U2...I've had it on several of my devices but the Imagio is such a memory hog as it is I think S2U2 just adds a bit more bulk than I would prefer. I also tried speedbooster to help but that caused more problems so I had to uninstall.
Other then the text message tap option not working the device runs pretty well...a little sluggish at times but nothing a clean ram won't fix. Just wish I could find a way to fix it!
