Not sticking [ROOT REQ] Remove constant wifi nag - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

It has been brought to my attention this fix does not stick through reboot or wifi cycle. I will mess around with the editor some more however I fear without modifying the framework it may not be possible to completely be rid of it. Moderator can lock the thread please.
have discovered how to remove the constant notification that wifi is off. You must be rooted (thanks to the devs who made that happen) and have SQLite Editor installed.
It is available from the Google Play Store for 2.99. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zcGVlZHNvZnR3YXJlLnNxbGVkaXRvciJd
Open SQLite, allow root access and navigate down to "Settings storage". Click it then click "settings.db" then "secure". The last line (351 on my device) is entitled wifi_watchdog_on and the value is listed as 1. Click on this then click the pen in the upper center corner to edit the value. Change it to a 0 (zero) and click save. Back out of the app then pull down your notification shade. Long press on the *&#%$* wifi nag until "app info" is shown. Click it then select force close. It will give you the standard warning but don't worry about it.
After these steps are taken the nag will be gone! Hope it helps someone who is irritated like I was.

Thank you for this! Worked perfectly

Thanks!

Thank you very much!!

This worked, but once I turned wifi back on it came back once I disconnected. Anyway to make it permanent?

Doesn't stick for me, the nag comes back and the setting goes back to 1 after a reboot...

is there a way to do this for the blocking mode nag as well?

coming back on for me as well.

Can this be done with the FREE SQLite Manager app?

If you forcefully uninstall the WiFi nag app, will this prevent it from relaunching everytime you reboot or turn WiFi on?

The app info of the wifi nag said it was Android System

Well... When you long press on the wifi nag on your shade, then choose app info... it's a part of android system that you're stopping... don't know if uninstalling it is possible.

Hmm...I wonder if it's a part of the TouchWiz framework. Hopefully someone can make a hack for it which removes the Ongoing Notification, and also puts the WiFi toggle back in the Notifications Control Panel where it belongs.

You can put the WiFi icon and whatever else you want (I add a flashlight also) to the taskbar with the app "notification toggle" from the playstore.
I have used this temporarily on a few different phones while I was waiting on Custom ROMs to make their appearance.
It works perfectly.

This doesn't stick.

Thanks everyone. I have updated the op and will continue to explore some way to make this stick.

i dunno about the toggle, but the wifi notification is probably an edit in services.jar

[Q] Prevent Screen-On due to SMS?

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the screen turning on when receiving an SMS? I would really like to disable this if at all possible.
not sure if it's what you're looking for but if you install sms popup (which is a fantastically simple app) it's one of the many options that you can configure ...
hope this helps ...
This didn't prevent the screen from turning on. The basic SMS app seems to still turn it on.

the way this normally works, is you install handcent which does have this option. then you go in and disable to stock messaging app completely, so that only handcent or your replacement choice controls text behavior.

What you'll notice is that even if you disable the notifications on a the standard messaging app, the app still runs in the background as it's also handling all the incoming DB writes from what I can tell. Samsung re-wrote the messaging app which always runs (and can't be removed) and in this app is the control to turn the screen on. That's why I can't figure out how to disable it without breaking SMS functionality altogether.

[Q] senseless ics rom no mobile data

I have installed this Rom 3 times and I can't get mobile data to work and I don't have the quick settings in the notification drop Down to enable it. The clean ics Rom works fine for me.
Also it keeps saying preparing sd in the notification
Yeah I had the same issue with data at first. Go into your settings menu and turn wifi off unless you plan on using it and then go to the data settings and enable data networks. You should get data right afterwards. As far as mounting the sd card issue I have no clue. Have you tried unmounting it manually then remounting to see if that solves the issue for you?

No quick settings but there is a settings button at the top of the notification window.
OT, I had to reboot once for my mobile data setting to enable. I mean actually being able to change the setting from off to on. After that...all butter.
Thanks again for all you help! I got this working. The only issues I see now are the screen flickers quite a bit and the browser goes really slow at times when scrolling. The screen takes forever to redraw

4G icon remains on screen with WIFI on

When I turn on my wifi, the 4G icon disappears for a couple seconds then returns so both are in the bar. It shows data is transferring over wifi only but the 4g icon remains. Just thought this was a little strange since last night only the wifi icon showed up... I have tried toggling data, wifi, rebooting the phone, and rebooting the phone with different combinations of connectivity enabled. Just wondering if anyone else has both if these icons present in the notification bar and if anyone has any idea as to how to remove the 4g icon while wifi is enabled. I would rather not turn data off while on wifi so I am able to transition from one to the other. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk HD
There was another thread on this recently, but mine does not do this. The only time 3G/4G will show while on WiFi is if I'm doing something that requires mobile data, such as sending or receiving MMS.
Thanks. I looked but didn't see it earlier... Found it now though. Thanks for the response

1) Go to Settings/More Tab/Application Manager
2) Swipe right to the ALL tab
3) Find "Caller Name ID" and click on it
4) Click on "Disable"
4G icon should disappear in a second or two from your notification bar. Worked for me!
power control toggle
I downloaded a power control app from the play store and now I just turn my mobile data completely off when I am at home running WiFi. You can do the same thing in the notification bar toggle menu, I just like having the widget on my main screen.
I removed the Caller ID app but I still have both the Wifi/4G icons sometimes. Sometimes the 4G icon will disappear, sometimes not, can't figure out the root cause of it.
EDIT: Apparently running the "Remove" option inside this app only hides it from your launcher. It was still listed in the Application Manager. Disabling it there fixed the problem. Thanks guys.

That did the trick... Turned off caller id and 4G icon went away
Did anyone find that a complete wipe fixed this? I was about to try that with my wife's phone, as there seems to be some lingering text messages going through issues.
I will try that callerID disable thing as well prior to the reformat.

Blocking Toggle Working

Found the solution to adding the wifi toggle:
1 Get SqlLite Editor
2.Goto Setting Storage |System |
3. Edit field "notification_panel_active_app_list"
4. add DormantMode
5. edit field "dormant_switch_onoff" from 0 to 1,
6. Hit save and reboot
You can now toggle blocking mode. Can't seem to get it to work though.
I got it to block the led light. I set dormant_always to 0
Set start time to 13 (1:00) then set dormant_led to 1.
Turned on blocking toggle and the led would not blink when I received a message. I still got the notification and my screen turned on tho.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I had several force close of "settings" with dormant mode enabled. Doesn't seem to be working that cleanly, I'm disabling it for now.
I don't really need it anyway.
PS" dormant_switch_onoff just toggles it on or off. I turned it off and went into SQL Editor and it was set back to 0 so that's not an "enabling" control.
I am trying to download a System Dump to see if we are missing an .apk for some sort of Blocking Mode Setting App.

It likely needs to be turned on in settings, phone, messaging and anywhere it affects. Won't be a simple missing app.

isnt it a feature in android?. I looked it up on my note to where exactly its buried. and it looks like it's buried deep inside com.android.settings hopefully that'll help figure something out.
Long pressing on the Blocking Mode toggle should open the settings. Instead for me it crashes System UI and reloads the notification bar and such. I'd probably start there as well comparing from AT&T version.
Blocking Mode seems to be working correctly for me. I can toggle it on and off.
As others have stated, it crashes Settings when you try to open settings for Blocking Mode. My theory is that Blocking Mode settings is still there but disabled instead of just hidden. When you try to access it, Settings crashes just like if you we're to Freeze the wrong thing in Titanium Backup and then try to access it.
There is probably another field that would allow us to enable the settings for Blocking Mode, we just need to find it.
On another note, while I was poking around I found "Throttle_Reset_Day" which had a value of 22. Any theories on how this works? I changed it to 15 thinking maybe if you reach the throttling point of data use that it would reset and unthrottle a few days earlier. That theory only works if the throttling also resets at the beginning of the month though.

i'm looking for a rom from any other S4 besides Verizon's to see if i can pull the smali's to look at the differences today. i'll let you know if i come up with anything.
I flashed SecSettings for the i9505 and blocking mode still doesn't show. So I'm not sure how Samsung set it up for which file to read so it knows whether or not to show.

I have a feeling it's more involved than that though. You could probably flash framework, systemUI and settings from the i9505 and it wouldn't work.

I'm not really not looking forward to that, but i want to find it out. it's now bugging me. haha. if only i had better internet than crappy DSL
Bump.
Blocking Mode is working perfectly for me, it's just when trying to reach the settings screen that it causes a problem. I adjusted the settings manually by editing the proper fields in SQLlite and added the notification toggle and it will turn on and off without issue. I have it set to allow calls but not notifications or the LED. It works as advertised with these settings. I have no real need to adjust the settings further but it would be nice to get the settings screen back as well.
I set it up and I put favorites as allowed so I'll have to see it if works.

The settings screen works properly and doesn't crash in Beans rom.
Notifications are blocked properly, but it still lets calls ring through even though I have that checked.
dormant_disable_incoming_call was set to 1, so the feature is broken, not the setting in the database.

I'm not a dev, so I'm not going to play with swapping files from other carriers right now, but is this info useful for getting blocking mode working on the verizon S4?

There's an app called disable increasing ring in the playstore it's free and I can confirm that it's working. I'm on stock deodexed rom.
Yup i'm using disable increasing ringtone from the play store. Doesn't required root access either.
That app sits on the notification page for me and I can't get past it no matter what i do.
go to setting >> more >> application manager >> All >> Disable Increasing Ring >> Uncheck Show notifications

or long press notification go to app info then disable notifications
I'm bringing this back I'm afraid
For us rooted folk, has anyone figured out how to fix this without an app, or how to do what that app does manually perhaps?
I know that for the i9000 for those with deodexed roms there was a fix involving edits to the phone apk I believe.
WANAM
If you have root, wanam xposed has a feature for this as well. It also has a lot of stuff and can change a lot of touchwiz. My notification bar is totally themed out, and I changed a lot of other stuff, mostly under the hood. You need xposed though, and it is on the play store.
Now that sounds interesting. I have to use XPOSED for another issue. I'll have to check it out then. Thanks
Not only did it work, but it gave me a windows to a few other tweaks I had on the itinerary . Cheers! :highfive:
