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?

Go into your phone settings, choose WiFi and at the top you should see Cricket WiFi Manager. Tap that and you should be able to uncheck the box that keeps it active.

What helped me was to disable the Cricket WiFi Manager as advised by ZTE. So far so good, no more toast messages.

My wifi has been off all day, I'm still getting those messages

The app "Toast Source" is saying it's coming from the Cricket Wi-Fi Manager.

That kind of makes sense. At least you know it's from a legitimate app, and not from some malware.

It has to do with the Cricket Wi-fi Manager app, not the actual wi-fi on the phone. Have you already tried disabling the Wi-fi Manager app, as described above?

Blade x/ cricket
...i get them, too.

I have Cricket, but I have a Samsung, and I've been getting these since yesterday. I don't think it's causing problems, it's just annoying. I just got Cricket less than a week ago, and I've had non-stop problems. Definitely not a fan.

Cricket also and blade x max. My wifi manager was already turned off and I still get the messages.

I'm having the same problem as of today 3-26-19. I have a ZTE Blade X Max with Cricket and every 3-5 minutes I get the same little message at the bottom of my screen in a grey notification that says Mobile Status : Stationary it appears and disappears quickly I haven't read it correctly.

[Ripped8218]

I get the message too and I have cricket.

 

[jaybee717]

I am getting the same message. On Cricket but have a Samsung S9. I am also having wierd pop ups about Google Location. This was before the "toast" pop ups started.

I am getting the mobility state message on my screen as well... i just noticed it today. I have samsung galaxy s9. SO maybe not so much the device that is causing it-different devices are having same issue...The provider is also CRICKET... like others haven't downloaded anything in the past few days i did turn my location on the other day because my cell kept having a message on my screen about enable google location or remind me later.. it was annoying cause it kept popping up cricket wifi manager as well.

I strongly recommend to everyone here that you send feedback to Cricket about this. It's pretty clearly due to Cricket's own Wi-fi Manager app, so they're the ones who have to fix it.
