    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    Okay. Shall do. Thanks. But, this is before the browser is launched. Here is the banner that I get, but not a thing happens when I click it repeatedly. It is supposed to bring up the user agreement if all goes well.

    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    Well, I have Chrome as the browser. Are there any settings within the Chrome Android app that I need to tweak? But I don't suspect such a popular browser would pose an issue. Right?

    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    You are right. I saw that many shortcuts were missing and the default launcher had taken over and freaked out. I did not realize that the first few times I rebooted that I was, indeed, out of Safe Mode already. I expected everything to return to the way I had set it up with Microsoft Launcher...

    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    Okay, it worked in Safe Mode but how do I detect which of my applications are causing this issue? Also, I had a heck of a time getting out of Safe mode. It also played havoc with many apps on my desktop. I don't think I want to try Safe Mode again.

    Can't Turn Off Audible Wi-Fi Connection Notification

    Okay, when I tried it in Safe mode, it worked. But now, I do not know how I can find out which app is causing issues. Would it help if I listed them?

    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    I was too smug for my own good! I should have done that! Egg on my face with apologies! Of course, if I RTFM, I would have known that the stupid video I followed from elsewhere on YouTube (holding down the Vol Down, Home and Power buttons) was not the way to get into Safe mode. :(I followed the...

    Not sure why you are including instructions on how to get to Safe mode because the picture shows that I am already in Safe Mode.

    Here is the screen shot of Safe Mode. Not sure how to proceed from here. Not at all sure how to connect to WiFi in this mode.

    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    Well, when I start up in Safe Mode, It asks me to choose where I want to "install" from Internal Storage. Not sure what that's all about. I don't want to install anything! Kindly give me a step-by-step roadmap to proceed. Thanks.

    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    Actually, that is what I had been doing all along - using the URL manually, but it doesn't work in all cases. I am not using a VPN or ad-blocker. The settings in your third paragraph are all currently as you have prescribed. Anyway, I have changed the following settings in Chrome: For Safe...

    Unable to connect to public Wi-Fi

    I have a Oneplus 5 running Android 10.0.1. When I try to authenticate to a free public WiFi network, such as the ones at airports, I get as far as an empty page with only a banner at the top saying, "Tap here to connect". However, no amount of tapping allows me to proceed as nothing happens...

    Mystery Notification sound

    Sorry, my fault. :-) I was referring to the solution to my problem, not the app in the store. I looked high and low trying to find a solution and you had a viable solution. Thank you.

    Mystery Notification sound

    "Try Nice Catch from galaxy play store , it might be able to find which is causing this". Thanks, That is great. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack!

    Re: I just did the universal thing nd started working Thank you, Varad Jade. It was none of the problems discussed here. My Developer options was NOT on, my SD card is a reputable one and it has been working all along, there was nothing wrong with the card label, etc. I had removed the card...
