Where is this phantom notification coming from? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I started seen this weird overlay notification when I turn on/off the WiFi it toggle the Hotspot. The text in the notification reads like this:
Active Type : WIFI, Work: YES
Mobile Type : MOBILE, Work: YES
Wifi Type : WIFI, Work: YES
I'm attaching a screenshot as well. Yesterday I did a factory reset and the issue is still there. But I recovered from the saved backup so maybe whatever is causing it (a setting or and app?) was recovered after.
Anyone seen this or knows what it is?
Thanks!

Found the answer at another thread in androidcentral. Posting it here in case it helps someone else.
You're a legend Xeon1!!! I can't beleive I did a factory reset for this, I thought it was me as I had been playing around with the Developer Mode options. I uninstalled the mydlink Baby Camera Monitor app and the issue is resolved, the overlay notification is gone! I still have the mydlink Lite app installed which does pretty much the same thing and this one does not cause that issue.
Thanks!

[Q] Notifications not received!?

Hi there,
I am having the issue of not getting any kind of notification from apps or what so ever on my nexus 4, i noticed that my phone was really quite for a long time and i figured quickly that it is the phone and not the router or so, only after disabling and then reabling wifi on my device the notifications start to poor in, although in the meanwhile i can use the phone, the apps and web.
Any ideas why this is happening? i just had done a factory restore like two weeks ago because i had more app issues and also because my device was not reconnecting automatically to known networks, this issue disappeared and now i`m having this no notification issue.
I recommend you to reinstall your apps which you receive notifications often from. It may help
Thanks
i will try, but i don`t think it will help because all of them do same...so mathematically seen it can`t be an issue with all the apps at once and over night...
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Yeah, try clearing data and reinstalling the apps which are giving you issues. In addition, download an app called push notification fixer from the playstore, set ot as its default settings, apply them and reboot the device. See if that helps.

[Q] Lollipop WiFi issues - takes long time to turn on or not turning on at all

I had CM11 on my Nexus 4 and did a full wipe, then flashed the official Lollipop image (using flash-all.sh script). The process went smooth, without any problems.
Now, I am having WiFi issues. When I turn on WiFi from quick settings it changes the icon, but doesn't connect to the network yet. If I try to access WiFi settings it opens them up, but I can see only the actionbar and a blank white screen. No networks shown. Sometimes I even get "The app is not responding dialog". It sits like this for about 30-60 seconds and after that it connects to the network and I am able to access WiFi settings.
Sometimes I can't turn WiFi on at all. Quick settings don't change the WiFi icon to the ON state. If I try to turn it on from the Settings, the switch does literally nothing - not even "Turning WiFi on..." shows up.
I tried to reflash the system - still get these issues. Tried reflashing just the radio module - didn't fix it. No idea what to do. KitKat worked just fine.
Does anyone else have similar problems?
Same issues, but on a Nexus 10.
I have exactly the same issues as you, but on a Nexus 10. Running LRX21P 5.0 Lollipop.
+1
I used Wugfresh 1.9.6
Downloaded and installed LRX21T
Did a complete wipe (cache and factory reset)
Did a selective restore of ~75 apps from Google backup
Played with the machine for hours.
Rebooted, now got no wifi
Anyone suggest a workaround?
EDIT: I came across this post in the Nexus 5 Thread , where he suggests changing your router's channel to something below 12. I changed mine from 13 to 8 and now wifi seems to be working.
EDIT2: Sadly the above was a red herring. The problem seems more complex. Hopefully Google will release a fix soon

I don't think my problem depends on the available WiFi networks. But thanks for the response.
I have the exact same issues, Wifi doesn't turn on at all. It doesn't matter if I press the quick settings button or the button in the menu. It says Wifi on, but nothing happens. After the screen goes dark, Wifi turned itself off again.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

I'm having the exact same issue. Wiped with ADB and flashed LRX21T factory image from Google's website. No error codes during flash.
Wifi is great - if you leave it on all the time. As soon as it turns off, it will NOT turn on. I get no error message, no timeout like it usually does when Wifi isn't working properly, no crash report. Nothing. Just a stalled Wifi acting like it's turning on. If I exit Wifi settings page, and come back, it shows as being off. Turn it on, and it just hangs the same way.
So frustrating.
It's for sure not the network I'm on, as it also doesn't turn on when I'm not near Wifi, or when I'm at a friend's house. Rebooting the phones makes the Wifi work again...until it turns off for ANY reason. Then we're back at square 1.
I'm having this same issue...
My WiFi seems to turn itself off. Then there is no way I can get it to turn back on unless I reboot the phone.
Very frustrating.
I have the same issue.I sideloaded the OTA and everything went great,no errors during the installation.I was on stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Wifi it takes around 30 sec to connect to a network.If i click on the Wifi menu in the setting it usually freezes or I get a black screen.After that Wifi works fine,but another thing I noticed it doesn't remember new networks.I don't know if a factory reset would help...
Anyone find a solution yet? Did a factory reset eliminate the problem for somebody?
I got the same thing. Currently, I'm using Power Toggles to do the on/off setting.

Are you saying that Power Toggles fix the problem?
I'm facing a different issue. Whether I have WiFi on or off, it always appears active in the battery usage stats ('scanning always available' is off)
WiFi was off when the screen was off from about 3 am to 2 pm.

I am having the same issue. very frustrating. it was working perfectly last night on my home network, but now it wont connect to my work network. it has the same issues as everyone else. the wifi toggle will turn on, but it will not show any networks. then after a couple of seconds it will turn itself off.
^^i am having that issue as well. the battery usage stat page is showing wifi as on even though it is off.
Have the same issue. After some standby time, turning Wifi on again, it showed me networks where I am not close to anymore and didn't show me the actual networks where I am right now. This seems to be a serious bug that needs fixing. I don't want to reboot my phone to fix it. Didn't Google delayed the Lollipop-Update because of some Wifi issues?
I have all the symptoms listed in this thread. I filed a bug report too: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=80028&q=LRX21T
Found this thread when this problem popped up for me after flashing the factory images one by one. Might try to find a source-built ROM using a later version to see if it got fixed.

[Q] Yotafit not registering steps

Upgrade to lollipop seemed to work fine. As part of this, we now have the yotafit app and EPD widget. However, mine refuses to register any steps whatsoever when I move. I have tried the various priority and mode options but nothing seems to work. Location services are on. Does anyone else experience this?
OK - seems to work now after I tried to fix something else. I was receiving the message 'NO SERVICE' on my lock screen even though I was connected. Some searching prompted me to try to fix this by turning airplane mode on and off. This did fix the NO SERVICE problem, but it also seems to have fixed the yotafit issue. Maybe it was just a coincidence but at least it seems to work now and the steps are showing on the app and the EPD widget!

"Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping"

Hi, its my first time writing here, but not using this forum.
First of all, sorry if my english is not good enough.
I have a Nexus 6P stock, without root or anything. This week I installed Android 7.1.2 from google beta program, after that, I was having draining battery issue, so, I checked the battery usage and discover that the Wi-Fi never stop, then, after reading on some blogs about this problem and found that I should go to WiFi setting and disable some option in "keep wifi on sleep", however, when i click on setting key, always appear this messages "Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping". Things I did:
1) Disable Wi-Fi, try clicking on setting key - still the problem
2) Restart on safe mode - still the problem
3) clean the cache from recovery mode - still the problem
Any other suggestions without restoring the cell phone?
Thanks in advance

Hi... The gear icon force close... It's a bug in this beta version, nothing you should worry about.
However, I have no idea for your battery drain...

Have You tried with - Settings - Location - press the 3 dots - Scanning - And disableing everything there ?
So...if I can't access the wifi settings is there any way to disable the wifi optimization or otherwise prevent it from dropping a wifi connection that it detects has no internet?

Unfortunately the only thing that usually fixes that is a factory reset. And if that doesn't work it's a ROM issue. Even though it's a stock ROM it happens.
Your best bet is probably a factory reset at this point. Usually if Settings or another system app is crashing on Stock, something is pretty messed up. You could either opt out of the beta and it will wipe/downgrade for you, or you can download a factory image from Google and install it manually if you're so inclined.
I have the same issue on my s6 after it updated to Nougat. Settings crashes every time if I try to open wifi, no matter what. Already wiped system cache and started in safe mode, but the problem is still there. Has anybody figured out a solution to this?
Did you try what was suggested..... ?

I tried everything except factory reset, which I don't want to do yet.
I have this problem but I'm running Nougat on a stock "International" Samsung Galaxy S7.
I've tried factory resetting which fixed the issue for a while, but now it's come back.

I may have found a possible fix for this issue. Head over to this Android Central Thread where I've been discussing the issue with some other people.
Good luck!

Wifi will not reaquire home network and Bluetooth LE does not appear to work on Pie

I have searched here and other forums a bit with no real luck finding a real answer.
Before Pie I believe my PH-1 was working fine. Since updating to Pie it seems if I leave the house the phone will not automatically reconnect to my home network. I have played with a number of setting recommended with Wifi, Location and Battery with no luck.
From what I have picked up Pie can be problematic, not sure if these issues are being worked on in the background?
I also think there may be an issue with WIfi distance, but have not confirmed this 100% yet.
I have a Bluetooth LE interface that I recall working before Pie, but it does not appear that the phone can find the Bluetooth LE interface now.
Any help, suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.

When in doubt... A factory reset gets everyone on the same page...
If not... Delete the /sdcard/Android/ directory and wipe data in TWRP and see if that fixes it
Just wanted to update this thread that I ended up resetting phone to factory defaults and the Wifi connection issues seem to have been resolved. Now if I can find out why the charging LED indicator is no longer working. Seems after a brief search this may be an issue with Android Pie/9?

LED works for me. Did you turn it on? I think it's in display or notification settings
The charging LED worked fine before the Pie/9 update. If there is a place for changing/setting this feature I have looked and looked and cannot find it.
I believe I found it in earlier Android versions but for the life of me, I cannot find a setting.
Anyone have some suggestions?
Not sure why I was not able to find the Battery Charge setting. It was probably because it was at the top of the screen and I must of have started to scroll down immediately.
Access your Settings Menu
Select Apps & Notifications
Select Notifications
Turn on Battery Charging Light
