Can't Turn Off Audible Wi-Fi Connection Notification

[DC_73]

I don't know if this is an Android 12 issue or a Samsung S22+ issue. When I connect to a public Wi-Fi that requires me to "sign in", immediately after signing in, I get an audible notification alert. The notification shows up in the notification list as "Android System". But, I have Android System set to deliver notifications silently so something is amiss.

I don't get a notification when I re-connect to a public Wi-Fi I've used before and that does not require me to sign in.

I'd like to stop these audible notifications but can't find any setting that will accomplish what I want. My Samsung Note 9 does not have this issue.

Thanks for the help.

Does it redirect you to a website to sign in?

I get those notifications if I'm redirected to a website to sign in, like at my dentist office. Even though I sign in every time I go to the dentist.

Welcome to Android Central! There can be various notification channels for a single app, so even if you have some part of the app set to notify silently, a different channel might be set to be audible. The next time this happens, swipe down the notification panel and long-press that notification. Do you see an option to make it silent?

Duplicate threads merged.

Sorry about the duplicate thread. It let me post a thread without signing in and then I couldn't find the thread so I logged in and created it again.

Yes, it redirects me to a website.

I always go to Settings > Notifications to see what triggered the alert. Most of the time it showed Android System. But, twice since I posted this thread, it showed no recent notifications at all.

@B. Diddy: Thanks for the tip on the long press of the notification area. I tried that yesterday and it did pop up a message allowing me to choose to receive notifications silently. It referenced "Network Manager" which I've not been able to find anywhere else in settings.

Followup question: Do you think setting that notification to silent yesterday will stop it for all future alerts of this type or did I only silence it for that one particular Wi-Fi network? It'll be a day or two before I get to test any further so just curious.

Thanks much,

DC

That should silence it for this type of notification, not just for that one network.

It did just that. Finally got a chance to test it on networks other than the one I first silenced.


Thank you for the help.

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?
