I've noticed that my phone will pop up a dialog with all available Wi-Fi networks listed when I turn on the Wi-Fi using the toggle button on the Notification bar, even though I have the "Notify me when an open network is available" setting disabled in the Wi-Fi settings.
If I turn on the Wi-Fi using the checkbox in the Wireless Networks settings menu, the dialog doesn't pop up (like I would expect).
Can anyone else reproduce this on their phone? Seems like a TouchWiz bug to me.
I believe it is a bug. It happens to me every once and a while.

Hi,
Has anyone had any trouble getting notifications for networks to connect to? When I have WiFi enabled and there are open networks I have to go into wireless settings to connect...
Are there any WiFi scanning apps worth getting to make it easier?
Cheers

Nope, I get notifications fine; I just pull down the bar and tap the notification if I want to connect. "Network notification" in "Wireless settings" hasn't disabled itself?
Nope, notifications are still on. Tried tiring them off/on but nothing comes up.
Hello,
I apologize if I have missed this asked in the forum, or in the phone settings for that matter but is there a way to disable the notification sound on the phone. I seem to be getting notifications whenever it connects/disconnects my wifi or whenever it changes service from GPRS / Edge / 3G.... at least I believe this is whats causing the notifications as there is nothing noted in the notification bar. I have disabled the notification for "Network Notification" however this just means I don't get notified about open networks in the area.. it still notifies me when my home wifi connects.
Other than that I'm loving the phone! I was rocking a G1 with a Cyanogen ROM which was great but was looking for something to be a bit more snappy... I will say i've been very surprised at how snappy this is.
if you go under the 'mobile networks' area under 'wireless & networks', there is an option to play a sound when you go into roaming. also under the wifi settings there is a check box for a notification when an open network is available.
check that out, should solve the issue
Thank you i0nicx , i ended up stumbling upon this on my own but u are correct this is what fixed the issue :

I have an SGH-I337 that is running Cyanogenmod 11-20151112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte with baseband I337UCUAMDB, and I am experiencing some odd WiFi behavior.
The WiFi will be connected, showing in both the notification bar and the WiFi settings, the notification bar with show traffic (blinking up and down arrows), and yet apps won't be able to access the network. I can restart the WiFi via settings and this will usually restore app connectivity, though not permanently; eventually apps will lose connectivity again. Rinse; repeat.
At times I'll get annoyed at having the WiFi problems and turn WiFi off and use LTE. However, the WiFi eventually turns itself back on, often times exhibiting the connectivity issue that drove me to switch to LTE.
Another issue is that the WiFi will forget the settings for a given network. The WiFi app will simply show the network, not indicating that settings are saved, and I'll have to enter them again.
I haven't been able to establish a pattern to these issues, and it's driving me mad! Has anyone seen anything like this? Have any suggestions, besides taking a handgun to the phone?
Hey guys I know there's a way to automatically connect and disconnect Wi-Fi I thought it was called Smart Switch but apparently it's not does anyone have any idea what it's called?

Smart Switch is for moving content between devices.
Smart Network Switch is for automatically moving from WiFi to Mobile Data, in theory without losing ongoing connections.
The Edge Panel "My Places" can be configured to automatically enable/disable WiFi (and other things) based upon your location (location being configured a small number of ways).
There's probably an App to do it another way (like Wi-Fi Matic - which I've never tried - linky).
It took me a minute to find it but if you go into Wi-Fi settings & tap "more" you'll find the smart network switch option.. It used to be under advanced & somehow I was just missing it when I went to the advanced settings
I've got a Wifi camera and when I try connecting to it with my Nexus 6P when I'm at home it tries to be "clever" (read throw all common sense out the windows and do something utterly stupid) by disconnecting it and switching to my home Wifi, presumably since it can't connect to the internet through camera.
Looking online this seems to be toggled by a "Auto Network Switch" or "Smart* Network Switch" (*Stupid), however this option doesn't seem to exist in the Wifi Settings (including advanced settings).
Any solutions? Bit of a PITA to remove my home Wifi network so I can connect and re-add. I'm running a rooted PureNexus 7.1.1, would be willing to switch to other ROMs that might fix this...
I've never used it, but have you tried connecting to the camera via WPS?
Do you have "Use open Wi-Fi automatically" enabled? If so, this might be causing the phone to drop the camera connection due to it's lack of internet

I've tried disabling this and the option to notify if a public network is available (just in case) but no joy with this.
