I have a Nokia 6.1 (US 2018) phone running AndroidOne. No complaints except the camera locks up every once in awhile, but I’m not a big camera user.
So I’m in my car, pulling out of my neighborhood onto a highway. My phone is in my shirt pocket. Suddenly the phone starts playing a sorta doo wop tune over the speaker, a tune I’d never heard before. Then it went to voice over, it was a commercial! I know it said something about Google and maybe it said something about Wifi. I, of course, was busy, fumbling, trying to get the phone out of my pocket. But I’m fricking driving on a highway. I manage to thumb the lock screen on and see some notification saying something like “Dave’s open wifi network” or words to that effect. But I’m fricken driving so I can’t PIN unlock the phone. Then the commercial is over, the speaker goes dead and the notification disappears from the lock screen.
WTF just happened?
That’s the first time something like that has ever happened to me. The Nokia does have a FM radio receiver built in but I’ve never used it. I got no repeat of the incident, in that area, on the way home.
I did a full antivirus scan and a full malware scan that evening, two different programs, neither found anything.
I’m just putting it down to the freakishness of radio waves - wifi is really just radio waves. But it was strange.
