I can't tell if this was already asked as I can't search individual forums for some reason. Hopefully I'm not duping a question. Anyways, I've turned my wifi notification off in system settings->wifi->advanced->network notification but am still getting it on occasion, i suspect though not 100% sure, when there's absolutely no network available (ie underground). Anyone else? Am I missing another option somewhere?
I've seen that as well... I think it's seeing that there isn't a mobile network available, so it's trying to help you out. Not sure if I like it, but it seems to be the case. I think I saw a setting about automatically switching to wifi when no mobile is available. Perhaps that feature is doing it?

also when clicking on the notification while coming from lock screen, i dont leave the lock screen like other notifications. the lock screen is still there; and when i do unlock i finally see the screen. when i bring down notifications while in lock screen and see an email, and i tap it, it takes me to gmail.

Well I claim to be pretty good with phones and its not often i`m stumped on stuff like this.
I really need help though? My Nexus keeps talking to me!!
Its only on the web and some other web based apps like youtube. It will read out the letters as i`m typing into Google. It will read whole web pages to me too.
I have gone through the settings many times over. Def checked that Talkback was off. I have no idea whats making it do it.
My last Nexus did it too so I know its not a faulty handet.
Maybe an app I installed or a setting I just dont know about?
Anyone know what it is???
Take a look at accessibility. Its probably something there. Or your phone is possessed.

I noticed once I setup my google account it downloaded all my Market apps. Could you have a 3rd party app loaded which was downloaded to your last Nexus and current device which is reading the text outloud?
If you weren't sure, you could post up your list of 3rd party apps and I'm sure somebody might be able to recognize the issue?
Also, does it always happen on specific web pages or on all different web sites? perhaps you could record it and post up as somebody might recognize the voice pattern or web pages it reads?
Trying to gather more information in hopes of getting a more specific solution. Throwing out ideas .. hope that helps!

Mm true could be an app thats come across from my last Nexus. Is there an easy way to list all my apps? I have over 100 of them.
All web pages and some apps. It doesnt always speak either!
I`m trying to get it to say something it says when using some apps. I think it says "play" but i`m not too sure as I have my volume turned right down as the speaking is annoying me now...
Ok here is a video of it in the eBay app and on the net.
See what you think??

hmm,did you restart your phone after you turned off your setting's?
also try uninstalling all apps reboot and see if it still happens.
or do a factory reset and dont let the market download any thing.

Thanks but this wont help me find whats causing it only eradicate the issue.
I know doing this will fix it but it will come back.
I want to know whats making it happen really.
Cheers anyway.
Perhaps narrow your search down to apps you think might do this. Many apps will obviously not.

you must have accidently enable this.
its a feature of ICS. take a look.

unfortunately, i am not sure how to turn it off.
I HAD THIS ISSUE!
Drove me around the bend blurting out everything I went near on the net!
i spent about 2 hours clicking round , retracing steps, reclicking on things...suddenly it stopped.
Only thing I remember doing was opening up default.prop file in viewer out of curiosity so I did this again as well as other things and it stopped. Have you been viewing or even tinkering with any system files?
If this doesnt help try:
Go into your apps list and disable the TalkBack inbuilt app. That may mitigate the problem.

This accessibility part has something called talkback in which is turned off on mine. So not sure what else in there would cause it. ??

Ok I have disabled TalkBack app. No joy
I have not done anything to any files. Like i say it did this on my last Nexus so i`m guessing it may be an app i have installed.
Just wondering if its caused by Lightflow. That is the only app that asks for accessibilty on my phone.
Might try uninstalling.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway.
I spoke to Samsung last night and they went through some settings then said my handset is faulty!
I know its not and i arent changing it again, this is my 3rd one already!!
I had the same issue just from turning Talkback on and off... Like I really want to hear the time everytime I hit the power button ffs. I think it's fixed now (*touch wood*) but I had to screw around in the settings turning it off repeatedly to get it to stop working...
Did you just get your phone? I had the same issue when I got mine too. This wasn't just on webpages or YouTube app. This was EVERYWHERE. If I opened the app drawer, it would be like "launcher" or if I swiped to a different homescreen, it would say "screen 2" or something. I went to accessibility in the settings and turned off "Talkback". The phone stopped reading stuff to me after that.

Benn running MOAR v2.2 for a few days and love it. But I've noticed something when wifi is turned on. If I'm on the wifi settings screen, I can see it scanning about every 5-6 seconds for new wifi signals, even though I'm signed into my home router with a good signal.
Network notification is turned off. I'm running the stock kernel.
Couldn't find anything in the moar thread about this.
Wondering if it's just me or if others also have this happening but just haven't noticed? Because you wouldn't know unless you're on the wifi settings screen with wifi turned on.
Can anyone verify this?
Any ideas on how to make it stop constantly scanning?

Well, this has nothing to do with your rom or kernel...thats just how the wifi is implemented. And you cant turn it off, unless you want to use wifi at all that is, this is to make sure you still have wifi access and to update the wifi networks that show up listed
You can make the scan interval longer by setting the "wifi_supplicant_scan_interval" (or something along those lines) to a higher value in your build.prop (located at /system/build.prop)

I'm a long-time note 2 user and usually have no problem with settings. Out of
nowhere, my Note 2 started sounding a notification tone (first tone in the list)
and I haven't found a way to disable that notification. I think it's related to a secondary email
account... yahoo or Outlook perhaps. Tried the obvious options to turn notifications
off/on but nothing has worked. This thing is waking me up at all hours and disturbing
my lifestyle in general. The only way I've found to turn off the continuous sounding of the tone is to touch the top notification bar. Such a hassle. Any real suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
This is bull$4!* I agree
This is bad enough to make me want to switch to an iPhone.
This has got to get fixed.

If only that were possible. With Android 4.3 the notification is for leaving and rejoining the 4Glte coverage area. For those of us that live on the edge of 4G lte coverage it makes for a long annoying night. I have emergency notifications that I DO need at night, but not the damn network change every 5 minutes.

UPDATE from SPRINT
I talked to Sprint. They have confirmed that many ppl are complaining about the constant "upbeep" and "downbeep" tones. I understand it is not just 4Glte/CDMS coverage change, but also Wifi and Bluetooth availability. They say Samsung is aware of the unpopularity of the issue and will have a patched version out very soon.
I have resorted to disabling 4Glte all the time and disabling WiFi and Bluetooth at night. this seems to be a reasonable short term work around.
Thanks for reading.

I've never had any notification tone for network/wifi mode changes. I'm not sure why the stock rooted MK4 ROM wouldn't have the same issue but it doesn't or this forum would be full of angry people. I assume you guys are on the stock unrooted MK4 Jellybean ROM? If so, I'm glad I told my wife not to allow the update on her Note 2. I'm currently on stock rooted MK4 ROM and have never had this type of notification. But I would hate it also.
With this all being said, time for you guys to visit the Note 2 Toolkit thread and get rooted! Just one more reason why people prefer to root their devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957155
Once rooted you will need to ask ROM devs for help in removing the network notifications. I'm sure there's an easy way to do this with Root Explorer file manager app but you must be rooted to gain access to the file system. This is my only advice because I'm pretty sure an update will not come soon enough for you guys. Updates come from Samsung then Sprint sits on it for testing etc, then Sprint pushes it OTA. You can root and fix the issue in a few minutes or wait and pray for an update.

Thanks for all the input, everyone. And Sean, thanks for talking to Sprint about this matter...I'm sure that all the suggestions here will help others with the same kind of issue I've been experiencing. For me, it's a wait and see kind of thing in that whatever the change in settings I make, it could take an entire day or even more to verify success in shutting down this maddening interruption.
There have been days when, because of a setting I changed, my phone would not ring at all when a call was coming in even though the ringer volume setting was at 100 percent loudness.
The good news for me is that as of this morning, I had an uninterrupted night's sleep last night which, obviously, could mean that I've finally stumbled into a solution. But I am reserving the 'Mission Accomplished' party for when I am absolutely sure my settings are the way they should be. I hate big let-downs, especially when they follow great expectations and celebrations of euphoria.
BTW, the latest changes I made were done inside Facebook's notifications preferences. It seems the Facebook crew are on a mission to keep its members fully involved in troubleshooting the 'traps' they set for us. Kinda reminds me of Hunger Games.
Fingers crossed now...maybe I'll have another full-night's sleep, but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.
Thanks again to all who pitched in their $000.02000. I'll update here any more results that might be helpful.

Have to admit that rooting is very tempting...thing is, I live in a new area and have no 'guru' type friends here and I'd be concerned that I'd get myself in a corner and not be able to get out. I just don't know enough about rooting to trust myself with doing it to my only smartphone. For instance, does rooting wipe all data completely? I'd have to back up everything I want to keep? And how would I do that backup. Will the memory be re-formatted? How do I know which apps work and which ones don't work on a rooted phone?
Yeah, you guessed it...I'm an old guy...66...and fairly savvy with being a PC/smartphone user...but I haven't studied coding since the mid-eighties and don't remember what I learned about it then. Still, I'm intrigued with rooting my Note 2. Maybe someday.

DrDubner, the Rooting Toolkit I linked to above is very simple and straight forward to use and it has very clear and easy to understand instructions within the user interface. Basically if you can read you can root your phone with ease. Also there is no need to backup anything on you phone or sd card (although it's always advisable just in case) because the root process does not change, delete, wipe, or alter anything other than enabling root permissions on your phone and flashing an insecure boot image & custom recovery in which you do not have to ever use and will not be visible upon normal day to day usage.
BUT with this being said, I would highly recommend that you do some more homework FIRST and find out exactly which app or system process/app that is triggering the notifications BEFORE rooting your phone. It may turn out to be something that can be fixed without rooting your phone and either way you go about this, you need to know the exact cause of the notifications before doing anything.
Hopefully you can get more specific info about your notifications and post them here for others to help you better. Like I said, I've never had the network notifications that you described... on any ROM stock or custom. Perhaps it's not network notifications and mabye it's a system app or user installed app that is triggering these notifications? Keep us posted so we can get to the bottom of this issue much faster than Samsung/Sprint patch update that may never come.
Yeah I've never heard of this problem. Stock 4.3 and my phone never beeps for coverage issues. Idk to me it sounds like there's an app set up to continue reminding you of an unread notification. Like the Messages app reminder feature. Plus he did say taping on the notification bar stops it so that means one of those notifications on the dropdown is the culprit and when you tap on the bar it resets your notification (no blinking or sounds). Maybe it's time for a factory reset.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I agree. It does sond like a repeat notification. The notification pull down should give you a clear indication of which app is giving you the notification. Double check notification settings within each suspect app itself. If you can't find it that way then uninstall suspect apps one at a time until you find the culprit. Facebook and other social apps would be a good place to start. Also check Sprint visual voice mail and your messaging notification settings. You might be surprised at the simple cause of this.
Well kind of. Not a paranoid thing. But I got my G4 yesterday and it updated to MM. So I'll start by saying I'm not sure if this is a MM only problem. Anyway, Today I went to walmart did some grocery shopping. I get back out to the truck and look at my phone. (I should have screenshot it but didn't think to) I pull down the notification area and it says Walmart save money etc. So I click on it and it shows reviews with a split view map. I've never had a phone do this before. I'm using the same apps on this phone that I did on my S5. So I figure it's built into the phone. And my guess is it has something to do with google now cards. Even though I never set cards up. I do use google voice however. It's a little annoying seeing as it's using data without my express permission to gather information to show me. Much like how it also uses google now cards to show me ETA to get home even though once again I never set that up either. It assumes some place is where I work as well even though I don't have a set job site since I do odd jobs. Any ideas on this stuff guys? Being on prepaid I'm on a very limited data plan of 1GB per month.
I know somewhat of that feature. It goes by gps to where you been looks like mm has that option enabled cause on my lollipop (not upgrading to mm) i dont have it set up. I have somewhat of the things set up as for home and work. When gps is on it will tell me when i be at work if i left. The weather and when i get home. However you can turn the things off so it wont use your data. Turn off location when you are not useing it. I think you can turn off the things in google settings and you can turn them off in cards

Found the culprit. After digging around a little I remembered the accuweather thing that comes with the phone. Click the little drop down arrow and this is what I see. Telling me it will provide suggestion based on time of day and phone location.. So I deleted the widget but can't figure out how to disable it in the application manager. Can't find it. Can only find weather in there.
Ah i see i had that before thats the mart notice. I dont use it but i use this widget on my phone

Turn off WiFi scanning and location. Both use data.

I have wifi scanning off. But You're right I have my GPS on I used to have an app that absolutely required it being on to be able to use. I still do have an app that requires it but I don't need to use it often. (instant radar). Best weather radar in my opinion. But yeah after I do my battery test today I'll be sure to turn off GPS as well. I'm comparing the battery time to my S5 with this MM update from yesterday since I heard a lot of people weren't happy with the battery. So the only real world test I could do for my self was to leave GPS on since I always had it on with my S5.

Thanks just did that. I had set a lot of other apps to restrict background data but didn't include that one for some reason that I can't remember. But have it blocked now.

Glad it helped you out
Does anyone know of a way to get aggressive wifi to cellular handover back in Android P? It used to be an option under developer options.
It's still there. Under networking. Turn off mobile data always active.
Like me lol
That's not the same thing. In older versions that was there but there was also the aggressive handover option.
My problem is that whenever I'm right outside of my work building it keeps connecting to wifi, but the signal is so weak nothing happens until I turn off wifi.
With the option that used to be there this wasn't a problem.

Oh yes! Now I remember what you're talking about. Sorry man.
Maybe it's just not available yet in the betas.
So... this setting is missing on the official version also... did it move somewhere else or was it removed permanently?

I no longer see it either, but remember using it back on my 6P.
The mobile data always being on should work just fine for that though.

Perhaps some cellular provider business partners urged Google to make some more money for them.. and voilá.. there goes your "agressive handover" switch.. Instead of really useful, real customer-usecase driven features, like this, we get a dozen of useless vapor-features like digital wellbeing, that no one ever uses. Thanks, Google
