Hi everybody, i keep receiving this annoying pop up with wifi scanning every time i lock my phone even when the wifi is off or on. I turn the scanning off / on from developer mode (kept it in both ways for a while but still the message appears). Location off/ only gps/or high accuracy. Seems that all the commands don't really work.
Please help!
Thanks
I have the same problem! Would be great to get a solution to this. For me, the pop-up only seems to appear when I have Wi-Fi turned off. Whenever the pop-up appears, it minimises the app I'm in, too, which is really annoying because I use Google Maps in my car a lot, and I like to have the Wi-Fi off so the phone doesn't keep trying to connect to Wi-Fi networks that require authentication.
Now its happening the same with me...when wifi is off... It supposed to be an option in the wifi advance settings but...i dont see anything there...that helps...
Have you tried going into settings-security & Privacy-Location services-tap on 3 dots-scan settings and make sure wifi and Bluetooth scanning is off?
Yea, i did that too... Everywhere i could possible know it can be a setting to scan/ locate )... Only thing seems to work for not so many popups is letting wi-fi on all the time ). Good that it has good battery life...
Turning the WiFi + off solved the problem for me.
I have the same problem it's really annoying... And it pops out every once in a while it doesn't matter if you click agree or deny on this message
The only thing that seems to be working it's keep the wifi on... But of course I shouldn't be like that.... Any idea why we have this annoying pop up message?
Found this at Android Central, has to do with incompatibility with latest play store update. If you downgrade play store , then you get popups about Google play services being out of date. Oh well, just keep hitting cancel I guess. Im sure an update to solve will come soon. Lol
Here is what Huawei sent me:
Thank you for contacting Huawei Device USA!
We really appreciate your interest in our devices.
This is caused by incompatibilities between the device and Google Play services of version 12.8.74 or later.
Solution:
It is recommended that you try to solve it in the following three ways:
When pop up, touch CANCEL button.
Go to Settings > Security & privacy > Location services > The three vertical dots > Scan settings, turn off WLAN scanning.
For now, you are advised to go to Settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > More > Show system processes > Google Play services >The three vertical dots > Uninstall updates(This path will not appear until the version is updated).
Feel free to share this information.
Huawei is actively working with the Google development team to provide a final solution. Please stay tuned for updates about this issue.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, we are working hard to make a connected world and this includes the satisfaction of our valuable customers.

Mate 10 lite here, been receiving this pop-up like mad yesterday. So I was right in thinking that the pop-up was probably caused by Google being Google again.
Hopefully we get a final solution that doesn't involve downgrading Play Services, a component that insists on being up to date.

Hi,
If I'm the wrong forum I apologize and would be happy if directed to the proper one.
Androids newer versions have changed the 'GPS' button into a 'Location' button which now offers 3 options for determining your position (recording wifi router information and comparing it to a google database, using the devices GPS, and doing both) each of those options prompt a disturing and annotying popup each time you turn the GPS on, "advising"/badgering the user into sharing his information with Google.
The only solution which I found to this popup problem (without installing any 3rd party apps or rooting the phone) involves disabling the Google Play Service- that however created something strange which I'm not sure about... If previously the user could choose which way of locating he wants and the device remembered it- now every time the GPS is turned on it is automaticlly goes into "local device&wifi tracking" mode (the first option).
I want to know if a)Does the device indeed monitors that information (even if it can't send it anywhere with google services being disabled)? b) any way to stop it? c)can this default be changed so that only the local GPS chip will be used?
Thank you very much!

really? nobody knows?
I get this daily notification to enable location services so it can update the network time even though I already have the system setting to update network time automatically.
It is coming from the phone as you can see and it still rings and vibrates even though i have them off.
I spent an hour on the phone with huawei today and they said it must be an app requesting the location which doesn't make sense to me as it says it is to update the network time (which I already have on).
I have never had a phone insist I turn on location services with a daily reminder before.
Just turn it on and leave it...it helps with many things that the phone does...maps, third party apps that find cell towers and WiFi hot spots, and of course what time zone you are in.
thanks, but I want to know how to stop the phone from asking me to turn it on every day, I don't want my gps on 24/7
Turn off automatic time and automatic timezone?

Any luck with this? I've got this damn annoying notification popping up every few hours or so too.... Have tried manual date and time adjustment. Also tried unticking all notifications managements within and it still shows up

Same here. On my mate 20 x. I googled this and found this thread.
Any luck?
I'm also experiencing this, I tried the same things as other posters here but still haven't found a way to stop this annoying daily notification. I'm on a Huawei P20 Pro.
Try turning off automatic time zone (whatever it's called in your settings)
Wrong.
I, too, am having this problem (also - as yet - without resolution) on Huawei.
I believe this problem (for me) is BECAUSE I have "automatic update" for Time/Clock turned off, and GPS turned off, BUT Google Services wants it/them turned on (by default). Indeed, I am lead to believe that you cannot remove Google Services from Android, while disabling Google Services is not effective. Love, Fred (not my real name).
Smart Unlock Trusted places only works sometimes.
Anyone knows a fix? I guess it's connected to Huawei paranoidly killing all apps/ services in the background.
Sometimes I see that trusted places works but most of the time it doesn't even if I go to maps to update my current location it doesn't keep my phone unlocked. (This usually helped with my older nexus6P)

Came with 137 update.
Settings -> security -> lock screen -> smart unlock
With wifi off system puts me like 200m off my actual location, just outside the geofance, when I turn wifi on it will put me on the right spot.
But if I open maps with wifi off, it will fix to my location with great accuracy.
I can only think that the system is only using network information to determine my location instead of pinging GPS from time to time.
Idk if this is related to the Google location history problem, that only track the places I've been (and poorly) and not the route I took to get there.
Hello guys im wondering why this pop-up has recently appeared and keeps appearing alot like 20 times a day
If i choose okay or cancel both don't affect anything
Wifi is not turned on or off
Location is not turned on or off
Location is not switched from battery saver to high location
HOW CAN I MAKE IT STOP?!?!

It doesn't seem to be a message from system software. The feature of WLAN+ doesn't work like that.
Check whether you have installed some malicious app. Phone Manager - Virus scan.
Turn off wifi+ in wifi. Haven't noticed any difference in connection.

It is tho
Cz i discovered that when u press okay it will allow wifi scanning in the location settings to improve accuracy
If u press cancel it wont use it
BUT WHY DOES IT APPEAR?
Like u either turn it on or off no need for it to keep asking me
UPDATE
I talked with huawei and they said they are aware of the issue and are already working on fixing it
Hopefully soon ?*
Keywords, Call and SMS Message continuity problems and solutions.
Yes it worked flawless at Android 9 at my Tab S5e, then the following happened.
Both my phone and the Tab S5e got a firmware update, the Tab S5e to Android 10. At this time I tried everything to get Call and Message continuity working again. But nothing worked.
* First I removed and disconnected all phones and this tablet from my Samsung Account, I recommend that you too do that first. ( You see after for example a factory reset you get multiple accounts for a same device, so solve this first, remember your password and have your phone reachable for SMS verification for when you connect all devices again.
* Second, I assured nothing was wrong with the home router internet, by factory resetting it. A lot of work, but still didn't work.
* Third, although everything worked for perhaps an hour, it would simply stop.
Now you want to know what in my situation was the cause and actual solution:
*** When I received firmware updates, I also installed the COVID 19 app that is different from country to country, ( Holland here ). This turned out to be the cause.
At day I enable from Google Settings the COVID 19 app tracking over Bluetooth other people that you meet and see in case one has COVID 19.
But this is the solution, at evening I disable in Google Settings the COVID 19 app since I then don't meet people anymore.
It turned out that when in Google Settings the COVID 19 app tracking is enabled, the Call and SMS Message Continuity is simply not working, ( in this country Holland here at least. ).
So the COVID 19 tracking app unfortunately here was the cause, this took me weeks to figure out, I had COVID 19 app tracking over Low Energy Bluetooth simply running all the time.
Conclusion: Follow these instructions if you experience these problems with Call and SMS continuity.
I think the by Google supplied COVID 19 tracking option does something with the phone its identifier and ironically, the time it works fine is equal to the time that a device rotates Bluetooth Keys to other phones from people having the anti corona app installed.
Good luck troubleshooting if it doesn't work.
One more thing, Call and SMS continuity is in advanced settings, but it is named a little different than the English term in this forum though. And if you cannot find it you probably have Verizon firmware that doesn't have it at all.
EDIT: Update at 2020 month 11 day 28, November 28 2020
The following seemed to resolve.
I got a firmware update for Tab S5e with revision: T720XXU1CTK1
I also downloaded in google play store a program that redirects you to the latest google Play Service Framework
I would recommend to update to latest google Play Service Framework.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyumpany.playservicesupdate
That will only make you sure you have the latest google framework.
You can find it with ' Play Services Update - Update to the latest '
Then you will be getting the official latest google play service framework. Reboot all your devices. And the problem I had and probably others is no more.
It now works again as in the past.
Speculation: I do not have to disable the covid app anymore, it can run fine without the first guide mentioned things. The covid app is part of Google Play Service Framework. But I think the latest firmware update for Tab S5e might also be why it now is finally working.
This procedure took 2 months at least to be sure to be solved. Let us hope something like Covid never happens again.
Pull down the status bar, in the quick toggles you see a little phone icon, by default at the 2nd quick toggle page. Move that quick toggle to first page by rearranging the quick toggles. Every time you connect your tab s5e with wifi you have to reactivate call and message continuity with that quick toggle so you need it manually a lot. Then both calling and sms work flawless. Until you disconnect wifi. If you don't manually quick toggle after connection with wifi you will only receive missed call notice or SMS only.
It's a workaround.
Tab s5e Android 11 came over air. Call and message continuity did no longer work. Did factory reset of Tab s5e. Still didn't work with exception of SMS.
Solution turned out that in the mobile phone my Galaxy S8 something must be done.
It's called Reset Network Settings.
This is what it made it work, had to do this in my Galaxy S8.
Go to your mobile settings menu by sliding down the status bar:
After that choose Main Menu and Settings.
Navigate the list of settings tap General Management and Reset.
In the next step select Reset Network Settings.
Read the information in front of you and choose Reset Network Settings one more time.
Don't forget to setup Call and message continuity again. It should work.
This might be necessary after every firmware updates for mobile or tablet.
