Long-time lurker, first post. I've been looking for an answer to this one since Friday.
I got my Verizon Galaxy S3 on Friday and was immediately irritated by the ongoing WiFi notification. Monday rolled around and I rooted and disabled the notification per the instructions posted to Droid-Life, awesome.
I've come across another irritating pop-up notification that I cannot seem to disable. The message says that a known WiFi network is available and asks if I want to connect. It gives me the options OK, Connect always, Not now Remind me later. It happens only when I'm near an AP that I've connected to before. I have all notifications I can find disabled for WiFi. What I really want to know is, how the heck is it checking available WiFi networks if WiFi is OFF?
If this has been answered before, please point me in the right direction and I'll see myself out.
I can't seem to post screen shots yet, not enough posts. I'll see if I can get moving haha.

theres a thread about this already. short answer without searching. Get anycut, create hidden menu for wifioffloading and disable it. as for the notification theres an edit somewhere here on how to do it. but you need root.

How unfortunate we need Root. So there is definitely no way to get rid of this with an app, without rooting? Even a paid app?
Is there any danger with root and updates? I mean if we undo the root, then we update, right? Then we re-apply root? Will the phone look exactly the same with root if we un root? I have Verizon. I read something about this "triangle counter" or whatnot. To get root do we currently have to flash an entire rom or is there an easy trick like most phones? Sorry I've not rooted before. If someone just points me in the right direction even I'll read up on it. Thank you.

It's quite clear now that something in the new update has disabled much of our precious tethering features, I have tried all of the different guides and tutorials I've found on the net with no success. Does anyone have any ideas?

#1 You're going to get bashed for posting in dev forum.
#2 Check out the lastest ROMs : Alien, AURA, etc. do everything except wipe your butt.
I apologize, I was much too vague in my original post. Allow to explain:
Pretty much every ROM out there enables tethering, however, AT&T has some sort of verification system when one uses the lapdock. This system is completely independent of the regular tethering hacks. I posted in the dev form in the hopes of inciting people to try and figure out what exactly has change. This is my current theory:
When the phone is placed into the lapdock cradle a request is sent to AT&T's servers to see if the account has a tethering plan or not. I also tried tethering to my laptop at the same time as putting the phone in the dock. Tethering worked just fine until my phone was placed into the dock, where it proceeded to give the error of "Lost 3g connection". Disabling entitlement check bypasses this for regular tethering, but not the dock. So then the these are my best guesses on how to fix the situation:
If we simply blocked the IP that this check is going through, would it bypass it?
Is there anyway to simply remove the check?

I am running Alien #4 ROM and this is working; this has also worked perfectly for me on Froyo stock as well.
1. Plug phone into lapdock
2. Click okay on error message saying you have to be on wifi
3. Turn on mobile hotspot (entitlement check disabling will allow this)
4. Open browser and find that you now have internet
5. Disable mobile hotspot (if you want)
6. Continue surfing on browser
7. ???
8. Profit!

First of all, you are asking a question in the Dev forum which is a no-no, regardless of what the question is about. Just try to remember that for next time.
Second, there is a thread for this already here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160452
Take a look in there and see if any of their solutions can help you out or you could have at least asked your question there.
(It is also frustrating that this thread I just linked you to is on the first page of this forum so it would have taken no effort at all to find, just saying)

An infraction was given to the OP to remind them to not create question threads in the developer forums. Hopefully this will prevent them and others from doing so in the future.
I have a rooted Evo 3D running ICS 4.0.3 with Sense. Blah blah blah.
Anyway, I depend on Wifi a lot cause I dont use data. Its absolutely no problem when Im at home.
But when I go to school, the Wifi is almost useless. But its weird, because I can get on the Play Store, and download apps, but that's it. How much sense does that make? Sometimes I'll receive Google Voice messages, or email alerts, but I cant send a Google Voice message, browse the internet, open an email, or play those games I downloaded with friends. I have no idea what this could be.
Before the Evo 3D, I had the OG Droid, which did everything just fine. Which makes me wonder even more why this happens.
Anyway, Thanks in advance!
Which rom are you running? Have you tried to flash another kernel? Have you tried another rom? Are you sure that your schools Internet is not safe guarded or blocking what they would refer to as warez sites?
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )

Im running the stock ICS Sense rom from the OTA update (4.0.3). And I know that my school's wifi doesnt have these things restricted because on my previous phone (OG Droid), everything worked fine. I could browse the web, send GV messages and everything.
Not sure if this helps, but Im rooted with S-Off on HBoot 1.58.

Sorry, forgot to mention... No, I cant flash roms because I havent figured out how to downgrade my HBoot yet (1.58). But Im hoping once I figure that out and flash a new rom/kernal, that will do the trick.

I've tried about 2 or 3 actually. I kept getting bootloops. I did a lot of research and a lot of threads talked about how you cant flash AOSP and some other type of roms on 1.58. But I just flashed ViperRom after downgrading to 1.4. So I'll let you know if I still have the problem after school tomorrow.

Maybe the problem is with School IT and data throughput. Maybe they put limit there, so you cannot communicate while you are on exam or using time on "chatting with friends" during classes ..

Well then why did it work perfectly with my previous phone? It cant be a coincidence that they updated their internet security the same weekend I got this EVO.
Still having the same issues with the viperROM. It works for minute once I walk in the door, then just stops. Im still able to download from the Playstore and get notifications, but nothing else. Cant even do a Google search.

OK. So you've tried different ROMs and get the same behavior. And I'm assuming Wifi works correctly everywhere else or you would have mentioned it. So, I'm leaning toward something with the school wifi. I know that my work wifi only lets students out through port 80; nothing else.
Having said that, I do find it odd that basic web surfing and Google searching doesn't work while the other stuff does. You'd think it would be the other way around.

Im seriously stumped. It doesnt make sense to me. Im able to download all the apps I want, and get notifications, but nothing else. So I dont think its the port, because Im obviously getting some sort of internet connection. I've done endless amounts of Google searches and cant find anyone who has had this problem. I know there a web filter, but it only blocks certain inappropriate sites.
But what puzzles me even more, is how my previous phone did everything just fine. So I dont think its the WiFi.
Im probably being a bit repetitive, but my mind is just blown. It literally makes zero sense to me.
Try this.
NVM. Since your problem is WiFi related this probably won't help.
It sounds like your school uses some kind of proxy for security purposes.

You may need to set a proxy when you make the wifi connection to your school's network. Those settings are available by checking "Show advanced options" right below "Show password" when you first connect to the access point, or by long pressing the SSID of the network while connected and selecting "Modify network". Some people have also reported solving Internet connectivity via wifi issues by clearing the proxy settings if they were somehow set by accident.
You will probably need to check with your school's network administrator to confirm that and get the proper settings. I'm not sure why the OG Droid didn't require similar settings but it might have been able to pick up the proxy automatically like Internet Explorer does on a PC.
BTW, unless you checked the option in the Play Store app settings to download via wifi only, you may be getting your apps and notifications via Sprint's cellular network without being connected to the Internet via wifi at all.

I make sure that the Mobile Network option stays off. I know for a fact its via WiFi. And I did some research to find that this should be easily fixed. But having the crappiest luck sometimes, the viperROM I'm running managed to hide the RSTP/HTTP Proxy settings (Not sure how or why) making them inaccessible. Even worse, I cleared all my backups on my SD card to get those 2 gigs of storage back, so I cant restore to my stock ICS ROM from the OTA update while mainting root and S-OFF. At least not that I know of.
Sorry if I seem like kind of a noob, I got this phone used like 2 weeks ago. I still have a little to learn about it.

To be 100% sure that only wifi is active you can put the phone in airplane mode, then turn wifi on after that takes effect. I know that works because I do it all the time myself. I'm pretty sure the RTSP/HTTP proxy settings only affect the data connections through the Sprint network and not wifi.
You can flash the RUU.exe to return to stock without losing S-OFF, then flash a custom hboot and recovery and root the stock ROM. I outlined this process for someone else that was S-OFF in this post, which is part of my guide for rooting and getting S-OFF.
Edit: According to this thread, RTSP/HTTP proxy settings can affect ALL traffic. I'm still not 100% sure that they apply to wifi.

Hey All,
I'm S-On and on the latest stock firmware, and some rendition of the latest OTA (I got there from the Global Leak OTA and fastboot flashing the zipfile, OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted, I found in one of the development forums here on xda-developers).
My question relates to this scenario: I arrive home, turn on my wifi and check that I've set the wifi advanced setting to leave wifi enabled "Only when plugged in". Then, I connect to my access point. When I immediately relook at the wifi advanced settings, I see that it's been switched to "Always," without my requesting that that happen. I don't know that I recall this ever happening before, and now it's completely repeatable.
I'd like to have my setting stay on leave on only if connected. Can anyone offer up a way to overcome it getting changed to always?
Thanks!
cheers,
john

My guess is you have an app that has permission to activate WiFi, or something is corrupt... Try Permission Explorer and look for apps that have WiFi control (I don't remember how the actual permission is worded), if you can't find anything then I think a factory default is in order and try it before restoring any apps.

Do it a few times and a factory reset is easy... I switch ROMs in my Rezzy so much I don't even hesitate anymore. It is a basic troubleshooting tool and done correctly you won't lose anything.

Ok, so I'm on at&t and I got the notice for the 4.2.2 update. I wanted to do a factory reset before the update, which I did, but now when I go into settings and check for updates it tells me there are no update available. I was wondering if anyone has any insight as to whats going on and how I go about getting the update now. What's even more frustrating is the 24hr wait time between update attempts. Is there any way around any of this. By the way I am stock and unrooted.
Also a secondary question is about the notification pulldown. I don't know if it's just coincidental to this factory reset, or something that I amazingly never noticed, but I can pull down the notification tray from the lockscreen. I can't believe I've never noticed this before. Is this supposed to behave this way? Is there a setting that I've missed that was reset? It's annoying cause it easily unlocks when I put the phone in my pocket. I can't believe it's supposed to work that way as it completely defeats the purpose of the lock screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I had your exact same problem. I decided to follow the suggestion @grigoriisi provided and it worked. Step by step, this is how I pulled it off.
1- I reset the phone to stock settings, after which point I suffered your same problem. I checked for updates and it said my software was up to date.
2- I went to the Time/Date settings and changed the date by 1 full day. By this point, I checked again for updates and it found one and started downloading the small update.
3- After the phone rebooted, I checked again for update and it said my software was up to date.
4- I then moved further ahead in time by another full day. After this, I checked for update and it found the full update and began downloading it.
5- Afterwards everything went as expected. Once the phone was up and running (And fully updated) I reset the date to the correct one.
Note: Some networks (as in Office WiFi or not optimally configured home networks) may prevent the phone from reaching the update server in the first place. Check for the update using your LTE connectivity, and once it starts downloading switch to the WiFi.
the trick of checking for the update on LTE worked! Switched over to wifi after getting the notification and am updating. Thanks!

Hi Fellow ATT S7E Owners,
Some of us have chosen to stay Stock on this phone. My primary reason is not tripping Knox and using Samsung Pay. I have been trying to fix most issues or workarounds:
1. AdBlocking
2. Mobile Data toggle
3. Package Disabler to turn down the bloat
But for us ATT users, there is this annoying continuous notification that pops when we turn off data for the first time, after a reboot, EVER IF, we have WiFi on ! It goes, "Mobile data is turned off."
Googled and researched ways of getting rid of this annoying message. Wondering if any of you had success with it? Getting all of us to talk about it to see if there is a solution, thank you!

There is very simple solution . Turn your data on. If you worry that you get overages turn off some background data for apps. When you on WiFi your mobile data is not in use.
For all the hype about having control over your notifications, not being able to change this one is super annoying. I'm also guessing AT&T is trying to get us to us as much data as possible so they change charge us more.

It shouldn't have to be this way, if I don't want data on, don't you agree? Why have needless signal processing or searching when I don't need something? ?

The only way to get rid of it for now which is not very fun btw, Swipe right on the notification until you see the gear on the left and tap the gear. After that tap "phone" with the green icon next to the word "phone" and then tap "force stop".
So far that's the only way to get rid of it.

The Theme I was using was called, "Red Strokes" I believe with custom icons and a wallpaper.
Hope someone cracks this!
Galaxy s9, Android 8.0.0 here. Following worked for me, check if it works for you:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Developer Options
3. Look for "Keep Mobile data turned on". Uncheck that.
And hopefully, voila...
EDIT:
This method does not work anymore...
1. Settings
2. Apps
3. Select Options, then Show System Apps
4. Locate "Phone" (Maybe there will be 3)
5. Select every "Phone" App that you find and select "Force to Stop"
and the message dissapers.
(If you restart the phone you will need to do this again).
