What is "MobilityState" and why does it keep appearing on my phone?

[Android Central Question]

A few times a day, I get a brief message on my phone that says either "Mobility State: UNKOWN, Mobility State: Stationary, or Mobility State: Mobile". It appears and disappears very quickly. It shows up at the bottom of the screen in one of those gray text boxes, the same type of box that appears right after you set an alarm. It happens randomly, doesn't seem to matter if I have an app open or not. Can someone please explain what this means?

I too have cricket, i'm dealing with the same issue. But my phone is a galaxy

 

[Sueanna Cossey]

I have Cricket too. mine is doing that too. Is it just happening to Phones owned by Cricket? I have a ZTE phone as well. It started 2 or 3 days ago.

I also have cricket and my phone updated a couple days ago and has been popping up since. Pretty strange¿?¿?¿
I have the Motorola supra

I own a Galaxy 9. My carrier is cricket. I started experiencing this problem about 3 days ago. I see that it is an issue with cricket subscribers. It disconnects me from my Wi-Fi. It is a bit annoying because pops up a lot through out the day.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Amp Prime 3 and use Cricket. This just started for me right before I updated my phone yesterday. It's definitely Cricket.

I also have cricket and this just started happening to me!!

As long as it takes, you won't see anything before the next normally-scheduled update. The fix foes into the update, unless the bug is so severe that you can't use the phone for anything (in which case, in the US, since Cricket can no longer provide service, they've breached the contract and even if you can get the phone working, they'd have to sue you to get paid, but you have grounds for suing them if they shut off your account - and they know it.)

So sit back, relax, and don't expect a fix until they normally send a patch, which is probably only a few times a year. (Cricket isn't Google, which provides patches every month - there's one due April 1.)

I have cricket as well but different phone

Same here. Cricket and a Motorola e5. I just turned off WiFi manager.
My girlfriend also has a Motorola but an e6. Her phone randomly chimes but they are no notifications or anything happening. We can't figure it out.

Hey y'all.
I also have Cricket Service as well as a ZTE Blade X Max phone. This just started happening in the last couple days. It's driving me crazy! At least I know I'm not alone.
Has anyone found a fix for it yet?
Thanks!

My wife and I both have ZTE Blade X Max on Cricket service and have been getting these pop-ups for about a week now... it's really annoying!

 

[Chad Parker3]

Turn off the cricket wifi manager this could be the culprit. It worked from me.

 

[Jrogers3236]

I don't have any of the apps here anyone else has here and it recently started popping up on mine after I updated my phone software.

Let's get even more detailed here. Has anybody been receiving weird calls/scams also called robo calls for a while now and the phone has been acting weird as well before this?

ALSO LOOK CLOSELY IN THE PICTURE AND IT WILL SHOW THE MOBILITYSTATE

Has your wife's phone randomly vibrated as well ?������

[Javier P]

Have you tried under settings - WiFi?

How do you turn it off

 

[PamLeslie417]

We have 4 cricket phones and 2 of them started getting the same notifications within the last week. We have Samsung Galaxy S9 and ZTE Blade Xmax

 

[Sky waye]

I thought i was the only one, phew.... I really hope it is something to do with cricket, cuz it is making me nervous I don't want it to turn it to be some kind of crazy hack or virus from cricket

I also have the cricket blade xmax 3 , I'm hoping it don't mean my phone is dying or something crazy lol

 

[Logansdomain]

Just turn off location lol

 

[DeanslandZ]

I also have a blade max x with cricket as my provider and I'm also getting this message randomly.
