Minor wifi annoyance after 4.3 upgrade - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

First, I flashed Beans 4.3 OTA leak then his official 4.3, and both worked perfect. No random reboots or fc's. Then I just installed Sophisticated 2.0, and again no issues.
Other than the fact I keep getting a notification saying my wifi connected to my network even though it was already connected, and I always have it set to keep wifi on during sleep.
I tried searching, but couldn't find anything that sounded like my issue. I attached a screenshot of the notification I get at least a few times a day.

That is an annoyance, but thankfully one that can (newly) be turned off. Go to settings, wifi, advanced and uncheck 'wi-fi notifications'.

Thank you so much. It wasn't really a big deal, more annoying than anything. Coming from 4.1.2 I never had that, but that had that stupid wifi always in the notification panel.

(Sorry for the late reply - missed the notification on the forums.)
Glad to help - I've always hated that ongoing alert in the stock ROM. It's great to have an option to turn it off.

[Q] Unknown empty SMS messages

I use Go SMS on CM 7.0.3 ROM. I frequently (2-3 times a day) get a weird text alert as you can see below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, it says 7pm (and always does regardless of actual time), has no sender, has no content, and does not show up when I actually launch either Go SMS or the regular messages app. It is like a ghost alert with no real message attached. Has anyone else experienced this? What causes it? How do I stop it?
Yes I do.
Yes I do also get this. I have a DroidX with gingerbread. I get it probably more than 3 times a day. I only get it with an actual text message. i have not been able to figure out what is causing it. Please figure out!!!
+ 1, would be great if someone could figure this out, quite annoying
It usually happens when you get a picture message.

I get it everytime i get a normal text.
Anyone figure this out? I just switched from Handcent to Go SMS a few days ago and am now getting these "ghost" messages.
My *guess* is that this may be caused by a combination of Go SMS and some other app. I've recently reset my phone and removed a lot of apps and widgets (like Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets) and haven't had the problem since. Makes me think it may be a widget update of weather or something that is causing this.

I agreed - something to do with MMS notifications and multiple notifications accumulating.
Ive been having it for a little while now, maybe the last month and a bit.
cheers.

Wifi and car dock

Couple of quick questions. Is there a way to make my phone stop searching for wifi. I turn it off then look at my phone and it tells me there is open wifi. I never use wifi so I have no need for this. Also is there a fix for the car dock not charging while using gps

Anyone have a fix for these

You on ICS or GB? Go to settings>wifi>hit menu capacitive button>advanced>check never auto turn on Wifi. That should take care of it. On the same menu at the top there's the option to notify you if there is wifi when launching apps. You can uncheck it too.
If you're talking about the iBolt car dock sold through Verizon, Google for their (iBolt's) web site, and leave a message explaining the problem, including your address. They'll exchange for a new dock which charges properly.

Does that only work in ICS??
I would like to eliminate WiFi turning on by itself myself as a I NEVER use it, but I don't seem to have those settings in GB.
I occasionally swap to an earlier version of the kernel I'm running as I know it breaks WiFi, but there has to be an easier way to do it than that...............

I was thinking that those settings were in GB as well. I can't remember for sure because I've been on ICS for a good bit. I know the advanced menu is there. Just not sure what all was on it.

Yea I'm looking at that exact same screen in GB, except that one line isn't there.
It goes right from best Wi-Fi performance to Wi-FI proxy, that additional line your SS shows isn't there in GB.
Is there something in the Sleep Policy, or perhaps the main Wi-Fi screen (not Advanced). I remember having that option somewhere.
Might it be in the Power settings?
Open up the regular Dock program, go into the settings and disable the automatically turn on wifi setting. Even though it's only in there, it also turns it on when you use the car dock.

[Q] Gray Arrow with minus or plus sign

I keep reading that the gray arrow with the minus or plus sign is "notifications off" but I don't see a toggle to turn it on or off. It's not in the pull down menu, even if I go right or left. Tmobile and others seem to have it, so maybe AT&T doesn't have the toggle? Where is the setting to turn it on or off?

I asked twice and no one helped. They just said it was there, look. Are people just going to ignore me?
edit: it was moved, sorry good sir, but I asked on other forums (international galaxy s 3) and they didn't say anything.
What do you see when you access the notification menu with the toggles ?

Nothing, no notifications. I think it changes when I get one, shows a + instead of a - sign. But I rebooted it and it went away. Not sure why it came up in the first place and not sure how to fix it (besides a reboot)
When I installed the chrome browser and did the login the plus thing happened to me too. And when I pulled down the notification bar I was able to click on the plus arrow and it took me to a password login area. Hope that helps bro.

I know that I get the + icon when I have a crap load of notifications (not enough room to show all icons in the status bar). Not sure about the -. Maybe it wants you to hurry up and clear some notifications?

Try tapping the text and see if that closes it. Or clear the cache of the app.

The text box is a dead area. Can't touch
I've had this problem about two months, and tried the cache, reinstalling, and reflash rom.

I agree with you that you shouldn't. I personally don't use messenger much at all. Facebook apps have too many bugs. Like this on for eg. I just turned off the chat heads.

Duplicate emails and Network Notification Sound

There are two main things that are killing me atm...
1. If I send an email to myself on the gmail app I'll get duplicates instead of one... WHY IS THAT!?! i tried everything I can think of to stop it...
2. My phone all of a sudden started doing a audible notification when I do or don't have a network signal and it's driving me nuts... I looked everywhere in setting. I seem to remember a settings where you can shut off the notification sound off. As of now I have "notification sounds" off.
For reference I'm on 5.1.1 thanks for your help in advanced.

Can you provide screenshots it'd help me out.
Are you on stock?
Yes, stock. Not rooted.
I can take screen shots, but don't know how it will help. 2 has been sorta resolved since I left the sound off. I could've swarn i remember a setting before to toggle if you wanted an audible warning if you did or didn't have a mobile connection. The emails do it still but is more random than consistent. It will do it on wifi and mobile data. I think it has to do with sync though.

Well see if its the syncing. With a screenshot I can pinpoint the issue out right away.
That notification sound is an OS issue, while the duplicate mail issue is a Gmail issue, so I would try to maybe:
1. Clear Gmail data from Settings-> Gmail -> Clear data
2. Force a re-sync from Settings-> Accounts -> Google
3. Send yourself an email on the desktop site and see if it still happens. If it does it's a google service issue and not an app issue.
I found a fix. I'm getting a LG V10. Lol... Thanks for the help though anyways.
