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

there is about a 5 second delay that you have to wait before trying to wake it again. Also be aware that the display widget can turn the screen completely off. while the device is still active so you wont see it on even though its on.
Hi.
Now i have the same problem after i installed the widgetlocker 1.2.5
I can only see a black screen :-(
Is there a possibility to uninstall it without screen?
I don't know what i should do now. Please help me

i had exactly the same issue and after a lot of tentative i understand that the screen was off but the phone is unlocked with the screen luminosity at minimun. So if you remember where is the luminosity control (i had on the home screen lucky), you can reactivate the normal screen.
first thing i had done was uninstalling this app...
unfortunatly, after some reboot (to use wm), the issue reappeared and this time i was unable to get normal screen and i had to delete my android folder and get a new one..
a very disappointing experience with this app.
sorry for my bd english
For those who will suffer from this problem in the future
adb shell echo 100 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
That will do the trick. You will still need to update the brightness in the settings then.
hi im new here. i found out my sgs2 got auto-rotation problem. i turn off auto-rotation on notification bar. and also in display>off auto-rotation. But..it still ON automatically...anyone has a this problem?
is there any fix for this? thanks yaa..
What do you mean it's on automatically ? Some applications just don't obey this setting.
yeah.. when i open notification...it ON again. but in setting show OFF... hmm, why aaa??
eg: when i open setting or messaging...it horizontal and change back to vertical. and i have to OFF again Auto-rotation in notification...and ok for awhile.
if i reboot. it didnt save the auto-rotation setting. it keep ON...
I see .. I have no idea why it's doing that though .. mine does no such thing.
I had this problem when i used touchwiz, it doesnt seem to do it anymore when i switched over to launcherpro
Any body else has noticed it? (KitKat)
Turn off auto brightness. Try sliding it slowly down
and when you met 60/255 values back-light will light stronger...
which is weird. It should constantly lowering the
back-light but 60 value breaks it.
It is really annoying if you have auto-brightness enabled
especially when you approach dark places. Brightness will lower
and than BAM! at 60 value it will x-rays your eyes
Any body know how to fix that?
anybody?
Try to disable "Content Adaptive Backlight"
You must make a shortcut of this app with the launcher [Nova launcher i.e.] or an app to create shortcuts
Also you can disable or change the settings of this. Test the settings that best suit you...
Meanwhile.. i'm in need for some help too
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/elife-e7/help/request-nv-items-backup-qcn-ou-nvf-t3097931

=== SOLVED ====
Thank you but its still the same... any suggestions?
Glad to see your device is already fixed!

On the dialer of the phone type *#8702# to test your backlight.
If apears all in chinese, download GN_MMITest.apk and replace the one you have in /system/app.
Have you tried 3rd party apps?
Disable the "Content Adaptive Backlight" install this app Brightness Widget - Backlight! and manually set the level you want.
There could other apps that do this better, i just dont know. So if this app dont do the job as you intent search for another app to do so...
Take a look at this How to Improve Your And... and if that is your issue. They suggest a paying app, but if it suits your needs maybe you should consider it...
Hi,
I tried almost every 3th party app like Lux, Velis etc... but problem is still there!
GN_MMITest.apk you posted is not working it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Thanks for your further help.
Have you noticed it?
When brightness goes across 60 value it will lighten up instead dimming...
With auto brightness turned on.
It seams it is system or kernel bug...

If u have root access then try xposed's module Screen Filter.
Link:- https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-screen-filter-t2893936
Thanks, but I read somewhere Xposed on KitKat cause boot loop...
So I am alone with that problem?
I'm installed xposed frameworks, and work fine, not all, but many modules work!
But, Screen filter no work, sorry! ?
Thanks anyway
Hi guys, I thought this would help you, so I wrote a (I hope) noob-friendly guide.
Basically, this fixes the screen turning on in your pocket and detecting random touches. It keeps on happening to me, I end up randomly calling people/emailing the president and it's really annoying when it happens.
This does NOT fix the flashlight turning on due to detecting a 'V' gesture (for that you gotta disable the gesture itself, sorry, can't prevent that happening).
So basically you gotta install this app (Glimpse Notifications) (Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with this dude, just sharing for fun) and do the initial setup. Then, in the app itself, go into the Extras menu and enable Lockscreen menu and enable 'Lock when covered' and the next two options you can set as per your preference (I use 'only in Lockscreen' and '600ms'. You can also enable a double tap to lock on the lockscreen if you're using the Beta version (available in the Extras menu).
Oh, and to prevent it from closing in the background, enable the Persistant Notification in Extras and go to your notification bar, long press on the notification and tap the crossed bell (assuming you're running Cyanogen OS/CyanogenMod/a ROM based on it) to hide it.
That's pretty much it, you're set!
P.S. I know you can get similar functionality using Gravity Screen etc. but this is free, and it's only polling your sensor when the screen is on and you're in your lockscreen, so it should barely use any battery (and uses only around 8mb RAM).
P.S.S. It's my first thread on XDA, any feedback would be appreciated
Good job!
My friend had a similar problem, this seemed to work for him, thanks!
Anytime!
