I’m confused. Don’t all phones running Android have under WIFI Settings “Network Notification” section that has two check box options “Notify me when an open network is available” and “Notify me when a secure network is available”? I’m on a droid 3, and I had a droid 2 and the original, they’ve all had it.

This is news?

I refuse to use wifi on my S3 because of the notification.

Neither of those were built by Motorola, a company that continues to give VZ some pretty cool exclusive devices, so I have to assume they’ve leveraged that to get them the simple ability to turn this crap off.

…and by simple I dont mean A B A B up down up down left right left right.

I’ll bet you a dollar if it does appear, you get an option to turn it off in the settings (or maybe on the notification itself the first time?).

I hope once you activate it you don’t get push notifications from verizon with “friendly reminder from Verizon, you can use wifi on this device”

VZW just likes to pour salt in the wounds by telling you that you should be using the wonderful free WiFi networks available instead of their cellular data network that you’re paying an arm and a leg for. Oh, and if you use the WiFi networks you still have to pay for your data plan even if you don’t use a single byte of data on it because you’re using a smartphone.

So what you’re saying is, Verizon had enough influence over Samsung and HTC to get their ongoing notification onto the GS3 and Inc4G, yet just up and decided to not bother with Razr M?
That doesn’t make any sense. And I’m 99% sure that that’s an incorrect use of the word fallacy…

Yes, i selected disable, then selected OK, and it’s still there. Also still there after a restart. Are you also on Verizon?

That’s how I got rid of mine.

The menu popped for you and you switched the setting and that notification still shows up?

here’s a screenshot of the menu and what you should set it to:

Hope that means Verizon will remove it from the GSIII with the next update.

What purpose does an annoying ongoing notification serve? Its nice to see motorola stand up to this, but is Vzw insane?
