I'm currently out of my coverage area so the "searching for available network?" alert keeps popping up every 10-30 seconds. This is driving me craxy, I've tried disabling all alerts and even enabling airplane mode. I can't seem to find anyone with this problem, so I'm assuming I'm just missing a simple solution. I'm currently rooted with stock rom on 4.1.2.
If there is no way to disable this pop up, is there some way I can at least make it think there is signal so it stops popping up? The alert has increased to every second. I can't even manage to type 2 words before the pop up blocks the screen and disables the keyboard.
That sounds annoying! Try this..
-Go to phone dialer and dial #*#*4636*#*#
-Select "Device Information"
-Scroll down and press the button "Turn off Radio"
Does that do the trick?

When I dial that I just get a pop up that says "emergency calls only"
It was just a lil off that's why you didn't get the menu. But he was right! It's input this way *#*#4636#*#*
Most codes start with the star* first.

Thanks that works, but turning off the radio doesn't disable the pop up. I just connected to Rogers (I'm in CAN atm) and disabled roaming. So there's no pop ups while I'm their coverage. I still can't believe there's no way to disable that pop up.
Remove the Sim card! this will fix the problem
I simply removed the sim card, rebooted the phone, and tada, when I am flying on airplanes, and ofcourse there is not network coverage there, I can finally use the phone for games, music, etc, without this annoying message poping up every 30 seconds or so.

I have this EXACT same problem. I first noticed it after I turned on WiFi calling. This is not a mild annoyance. It's happening so often that it's rendering my phone nearly unusable. If anybody has any ideas I'd love to hear them. It also only started happening after I updated to Android 9.
I hated this so much on the S10, because it would interrupt games, apps, everything (and my network coverage sometimes flipped from 1 bar to 0, so I was seeing this 20-30 times a minute) but I found a solution that has worked for me so far (I've definitely seen my network transition to Emergency calls only without popping this up). Fair warning, I don't know what other consequences this had, but basically, I went to Settings -> Apps -> triple dot menu -> Special access -> Appear on top -> Show system apps -> (then I went through a bunch of apps that I thought could be the culprit, and turned them off. That included the phone apps). I've tested to make sure that if someone calls me I still get notifications (audio if phone volume isn't vibrate/mute, and full screen popup if I'm in another app). For completeness, I also went through the system apps in Settings-> Apps and turned all their notifications to silent and minimized, but as far as I can tell, that didn't help. I haven't gone back and turned stuff back on, because I never want to have this happen again.
