Annoying wifi scanning popup wont stop

[AlyssaX]

I have the same issue. I have the Huawei Honor 9 Lite and it started about a few hours ago once all my apps were updated via a wifi network. I have restarted my phone, switched my wifi on and off and still the messages pop up every 5 minutes. Most annoying thing ever.

My phone is continuously showing Turn on Wifi Scanning pop up... Even though i've turn it ON in "Scan Settings" - > "Wifi Scanning". But every time i unlock my phone, it pops up again. It's quite annoying!

Same here on my Honor 9 after EMUI update. Turning off WLAN+ temporarily helped, but it's back now

My phone started to show the wifi thing after the new update with GPU turbo. Hope they fix this soon. Honor V10.

@Brandon Griffin 1 Thanks for this. Will try on my Huawei P20 Pro. Very annoying. Maybe if we all contact Huawei @huaweiMobile

Update: just down loaded latest Google Play Services and, so far, the pop up has gone!

This issue has been fixed with the latest software update which I guess Huawei released last night.. Anyways the issue is resolved now. Please update your phone. It should resolve the issue.

Hi, today I started getting a popup message which read

'by turning on WiFi scanning, apps and services can scan for WiFi networks at any time, even When WiFi is off.'

I proceeded to turn WiFi scanning off but message won't stop appearing every 5-10min.

Restarted my phone and it still kept happening.

Phone is a Huawei mate 10 pro.
Never had this message till today. Haven't installed any new apps today.

Any ideas why this may be happening?

Try Navigating to Settings - > Location Setting - > More Settings (3dot) - > Scan Settings - > Dis-Select WiFi and Bluetooth

This notification is a navigational notification which alerts user that WiFi might switch on without users consent for enhancement of location precision.

It's actually a bug because this is not supposed to happen every time you unlock the phone. I updated Google Play Services and my phone and the issue seems to be resolved. Turning Wi-Fi+ on and off also seems to have helped some users.

Try updating your phone and latest Google play services. If that doesn't work, turn off Wi-Fi+

Same thing going around here with my mate 9. I wrote an email to Huawei Product &Technical Support but they haven't answered yet. If this annoying issues doesn't get fixed I'll have to go ape **** crazy in the local service center.

Ignore my comments. It's still broken. Not happy with my Huawei phone. No reply from them on Twitter.

Turning off Wi-Fi+ solved the problem instead of uninstalling google play service updates!!
