On my other androids, there was always when option that says "Notify me of available WiFi connections" and I would always uncheck this option. On the Rezound, I only see an option that says "When launching Apps, notify me when Wifi is available." I have this setting unchecked, but still get the "Wifi Networks Available" message. I always leave my Wifi turned on. Anyone else notice this setting is different then previous ones?
 
there should be another box you can check in the wifi settings that will stop it from telling you when networks are available. I thought i remembered seeing it when i had the RZ. I know the Gnex has it because i just went to it. I think that is a pretty standard android feature across the board.

(traitor, lol)

I can't seem to find that setting anywhere either..... weird.

I will say though that if you are gonna leave wi-fi on that having it notify you when there are open networks doesn't hurt battery life in long run (no more than leaving wi-fi on 24/7)

Yeah, there is no setting on this phone for that. :-( Anyways, I do leave Wi-Fi on the whole time. That's my preference.

I feel ya, just pointing out that while annoying, it telling you wi-fi is available doesn't do any harm. Could always use an app like tasker to turn wifi on and off at predetermined locations though....

But yea, if i could make it stop I would
