[HACK] Remove WiFi reminder

[Waipio11]

I should have had my glasses on this morning. I missed the * in front of the string. Got rid of it in the meantime with the anycut fix. Thanks.

I found this comment to the article about the nagging WiFi popup on Slashgear. This does not require root or any apps. It accesses the hidden menu via the phone dialer. I did this and no more pop-up.

To those who wish to remove the wifi popup, NO NEED TO DOWNLOAD ANYCUT!
simply open the dialer and enter the following code:
*#6335623#

this will open "HiddenMenuWifiOffload" menu.
select "Disable WifiOffloading"
press OK
done!

Awesome shortcut (I'm assuming this works) for anyone that doesnt want to install Anycut

For some reason the dial string didn't work for me, but anycut worked like a champ

Still do not know/see the wifi reminder everybody is talking about. Three days with my phone and nothing.

Have you connected to a wifi network? The popup most are complaining about is when you open an app with wifi OFF and are in range of a remembered network. A couple seem to be getting no popup at all while the vast majority are constantly nagged by it.

Are you on verizon? if so i doubt that the dial code works. Hence why i posted this thread in the version page. i don't think the dial er trick works on Verizon phones.

Yes, didn't think of that. Thank you for clarifying.

I did the dial string referenced on both my 2 VERIZON siii's last week...
It worked great!
No more nagging Wifi messages...

Yep, works on my Verizon SG3 as well, even though I already used Anycut.

It does work on my Verizon SIII which is why I posted in this forum.

Not sure why any other carrier users would want to know this hack/trick as I believe this wifi issue/annoyance is mainly on VZW S3's no?

Does this only happen if wifi is left on? I have a tasker profile that would turn wifi off when out of range of my house so just curious.

Only when wifi is off and you open a data intensive app. There's a separate one for when wifi is on but that one can be turned off.

Just did the dialer change on both mine and the wife's VZW S3 and worked so far.

This worked for me on Verizon. I did a copy/paste from the forum to my dialer and it worked. I am rooted, not sure if that helped me... Thanks for sharing.

I got rid of the wifi reminder and wifi popup box using the instructions in the OP,actually saw the one on XDA first then saw this one.
I am going to install the wifi icon next.


Do you have to be deoxed for the wifi toggles to work?
I am on stock rom just debloated with wifi reminder and wifi popup disabled only .

I had the blue version installed on a stock, rooted rom.
