Hello guys. Long time lurker first time poster. Tried the search but can't seem to find the relevant info.
My wife is now using an XDA Mini and there's one thing that really bugs her.
When her phone goes on standby and she gets a call, the phone app activates. However, it gets stuck here and the top window bar only displays the "Password" label on the upper left-hand. No other button is available even the "Ok" label is not visible.
All the other app that can be access from the phone app is available but no way out of this screen to get to the password screen. She has to take out the batt or do a soft reset.
Her current ROM isn't the 1.12 (?) version and our WinME PC prevents us from doing an upgrade.
Has this been addressed in the updated ROM? Or is there another way out of the stuck phone app?
Appreciate the help. Thanks.
Hi mc_oliver,
this seems to be a bug on our devices. Using an app switcher (like PocketNav, TaskMaster, or others - see here) might help you to get the password-screen back to the top, so that you'll be able to enter the password.
HTH,

Password lock out O2 XDA IIi
Hi
I have also had this problem that if the keypad password is set having received a call and finished it the keypad password cannot be entered to enter today menu and a soft reset required.
Anyone else got any ideas of fixes for this?
Does O2 know about this? I will be asking them soon my self.

Appreciate the replies guys.
Last week I managed to upgrade the ROM to 1.11. So far the problem hasn't occured again. Just FYI.
Thanks.
mc_oliver> My xda II mini is running 1.11 ROM as well. You will still have that password screen problem, but less frequent. Sorry to disappoint you.
Key pad Password lock out freezing
Hi
I have found one solution to the baove problem for O2 users.
select the O2 icon on the start menu bar - the Active menu will appear and suddenly go so you have to try a few times and move quick!
having got the Active menu on screen swiftly select tools then task manager.
select password and close application - nothing will happen, but then select activate. this will activate passwrod and then you can in put your password and get back to full operation.
Does anyone have a quicker way?!!!

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
I received a notice in my notification tray that someone has responded to a post I had in an XDA forum). I clicked on it and the load page froze.
Is there any way to recover that "notice" so I can get more info to search on? Are they kept in a cache file somewhere.
Or is there a search filter that gives replies to my posts?
Thanks
That happens to me too. I have the XDA HD app, and if I get a notification and try to open it it just stays loading and never loads anything.
I truly love my S4 but this is driving me insane.
When receiving a message instead of telling me who it's from and an idea of what the message is... I get this:
Edit: Apparently I can't post an image of the issue until after 10 posts. In any case, my notification, both on the lock screen and on the notification bar, say Messaging, and underneath says New Message. Normally, or at least with my S3, it would show who the text message is from, and then a small preview of what the message says.
Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix? I am trying to stay away from rooting my phone, for now. I am using Nova Launcher Prime but I don't see why this would effect anything. A reboot has done nothing so far.
In message app enter menu and after, settings thhan tick the last option before signature, in italian "anteprima messaggio"

Thanks. For some reason I didn't think to go into the settings of the actual messaging screen. I was able to put a check mark beside "Preview Message" and that has solved my issue. Thanks Again!
Why isn't it on ny default?

I guess Samsung left it off to keep the privacy of unexperienced users on Android that have no idea how to change settings by themselves.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I'm almost definitely sure mine was on by default as I turned it off. It showed the message on the lock screen too.

That looks like a toast message so go to Play and download and run Toaster by MARS3142. You will have to activate the accessibility service for the app to work properly.

Thank you i couldn't remember the bottom notification was called a toast message but i installed the app and figured out what app caused it. Freeflix was giving me the error i cleared data and everything and i hope it will be sorted out.
