THis is weird but the command goes trough.. but I still have peak notifications.... wtf

edit: already tried twice

try to use the terminal emulator method.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] insaned:
I just realized it's working.

However I was referring not only this peek preview but also on the notification bar... when you have a message and you slide down the bar and you have the message there.

Crap samsung has some brain freeze once in a while for eliminating this ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Bd757:
What is this adb everyone is talking about? I'm having this same complaint with the peeking and use to have it turned off on most apps. Just got android 7 this morning so still looking around, but sounds like dropping this code in is an easy fix.... But where do I drop it? Is this an app for the phone or is it on my pc? Can someone please describe how to do this from the beginning, not just "use adb, put in this code. Done." maybe for some of us less intelligent but equally annoyed with peeking people so we can remove it as well. Thanks!

I can also confirm that this worked. No more heads up popup when I get messages. Tested in Google Hangout and Whatapps.

ADB is a software you need to install on your PC computer (some where there is a 5 sec installation for it). Then you need to set your phone to USB debug mode and plug it into your PC with the USB cable. Your PC will detect your device.

Go to Start on your PC and in the search area type "cmd" to bring up the black box terminal window. Then just follow the two command lines listed to first detect your phone, then run the flag to turn off the popup. Reboot. Then it will work.

Test and tried on a Sprint Samsung S7.

It will remove the popup window but preserve sound.

Oh, ok...well it sure is affecring my privacy, i am using my phone for ppt presentations and when i am presentig i get wa messages on my projector, this happened once and since then i have to turn off mobile data to not receive wa msgs...

Any way to send this to google to change it, is there something we can do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChamAramis:
You could try posting to the Google support forums. However, I don't think they'll give it priority. I would suggest trying the ADB method that other users talked about or downgrading to Marshmallow if possible. Personally, I just tried the ADB method and it successfully disabled all peek/heads-up notifications (you can't choose which apps to affect, it is a general setting).

Maybe someone will develop a heads-up notifications blocker app for Nougat in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] george_ch:
Do you have any idea of how to roll this back?? what i mean that if want to stop the heads up notification and set it back as it was, what should i put as commend "adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_disabled " ??

Hi all,

can somebody tell me, if i use ADB method. I didnt receive any pop up notification. BUT did my phone still vibrate if i get a message and the normal notification symbol will show me that i receive a WA message?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ranwej:
Hi, yes, only peek notification will be disabled. Sound, vibration and icon will be preserved.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jackpot82:
I try it. First it seems to work. No Pop Ups but vibrations and the WA icon is there. But sometimes it didnt vibrate.....

I have to watch narrowly.

I should've probably posted it here instead... so here it goes!

Hey, finally got the solution that works with the Galaxy S8!!

But I bet everybody knows it by now... anyway, if someone needs to know it's kinda easy though. Just gotta keep playing with the options. This way, you'll get sound, vibration and an icon on your locked up phone, but not the heads up banner, even if you've unlocked it and are either on the home, apps drawer pages or inside an app or game while using it. After you apply the solution, you need to restart or reboot the phone and that's it.

And as you all probably figure by now, the correct solution seems to be the one proposed by the great (to me anyway because he did it!) rostopira (post #9 on the original thread)! Thanks a lot! I was thinking on moving out to another phone until a solution came but now everything is cool... I know, I know, shouldn't despair and bail out so quickly but whaddayaknow maturity reaches us late in life!

And yes of course, you need to be rooted already and as you may guess, yes there's already root and TWRP for the S8. As usual there's already several threads for it here on XDA so I won't go into those details but it's very straight forward and you should be done in about 2 minutes after you download the Magisk version, which comes already with root. Please remember to remove PIN before you do it and all the rest should go easy enough.

When Stupid Samsung fix this head pop up notif ?

Nougat is like some crappy shoot! How come we cannot modify our own mobile like we done it with the old notif system?

That is stupid!

n that stupid annoying popup will always blocked the screens, THAT IS NOT an improvement, but steps back from old OS ver 6.0.

Just fix that swiftly, u owe me that Samsung.

Really really dissapointed!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] widget2k13:

It's Samsung who didn't have this options. Crap.

My oneplus 3 with Nougat have the possibility to turn only peeking off for each app. I miss it in my S8!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] edumollo:
APP to solve this

Hello,

you can use the app 'Nougat Quick Settings' (on the playstore) to remove this peek notification.

I really dont like the nougat has no native option for this... anyways, here you have a good option.

Works pretty good. You have all the notifications as you should (except for the heads up/peek).

Btw I think you need root access for this feature.

Today my J7 Prime updated to Nougat and I was irritated by this problem which led to a Google search where I found this thread.

The above solution solved my problem instantly. Thank you very much.

I didn't want to have to depend on an app to solve the problem because apps can crash and sometimes lose their permissions when you reset the phone.

[Samsung Gear S2] ProFragger:
Dear Friends,

Very possible this question has been asked here before, but I couldn't find a concrete answer. Since Gear S2 now has the ability to use Samsung Pay, is there anyone out there using the watch to use Samsung Pay feature on it, with a NON-Samsung, Rooted phone like LG V10 or Nexus 6P and etc? If so, can you share how you were able to manage that pairing and if the MST feature works?

I only wonder because non-Samsung phones wouldn't have all the Knox fun on them to possibly allow this use case? Thanks for your help in advance!
[Samsung Gear S2] diveoz:
I would also like to figure this out. I can't get samsung pay to work when I install lineage on my moto x pure. I set everything up and when I try to add a credit card it comes back with an inoquious message saying that it failed.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Are there any phones that will allow me to plug in 2 micro SD cards? The Saygus V2 was supposed to, but that was vaporware. The s8 is rumored to do so, but there is little credence to it. Are there perhaps any phones with 1x dedicated micro SD slot, 1x dedicated SIM slot, and 1x hybrid slot that can serve as a second of either? I have heard of dual Sim phones with dedicated micro SD slots. Do any of them have a hybrid slot for the second SIM? I'd like a phone that can host 2x 256gb micro SDs. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently using a Note 4 with an adapter for full size SD cards and a 512gb sd. It's dying though. Ideally I'd like to find a set up that will net me the same capacity but without fussing with the adapter.

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterankin:
My wifes Huawei P9 Lite seemed to have an OTA update and for some reason it has failed to install. I'm not sure if the OTA was from a while a go and she just ignored it.

It is now stuck in a bootloop on the screen:

"Software install failed!"

The only option is to reboot system now. This just repeats the process, I can't seem to turn the phone off at all by holding the power button. And if I try holding power and Volume down or up after a reboot nothing happens and it goes back to the screen when it tries to install the software, and fails.

This phone is not rooted or anything like that, I think it was on Marshmallow. Bootloader still locked.

What can I do to fix this?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p8tgames:
So, heres a guide to recover:

1. Go to huwaeifirmware.com and search your Device.

2. take a SD card. Create in the root of it an dload folder

3.put in the dload folder the UPDATE.APP

4.When turning on, hold the POWER + Vol DOWN + Vol UP

5.Let the "Update" finish.

DONE

If that doesnt work, try go to recovery mode and wipe data.

Have a nice day!

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
Reading various threads, i am quite heavily confused in understanding how OTA updates work.

Aka: i bought a LON-L29 running LON-L29C636B124 on ebay because in my country (USA), thats the only way i could buy it. So i guess this model was imported from some region like Europe. Then other threads seem to indicate OTA in different european countries happens at different times. Yet other threads offer OTA by pointing to DNS servers with probably faked DNS entries for the OTA servers.

Obviously, i am trying to figure out what i can do to get OTA with the least amount of hacking..

So, how does the phone decide how to get OTA ?

- What role does the SIM play ? Aka: could i improve my chances to get OTA by removing my carriers SIM first (the carrier that is not offering/supporting this phone). I was hoping with this being a carrier independent firmware, it would be out of the picture (had enough of carrier firmware).

- What role does the wifi network i am connecting to play - eg: is there some form of IP geo restrictions for OTA servers (only accepting OTAs from IP addresses in specific contries).

- What role does the build number (LON-L29C636B124) or other IDs in the phone play to select the OTA server ? would all phones with the name build type (LON-L29C636) request the same upgrade ?

- Does any of the huawei ID/accounts created on the phone have an impact ? I created a Huawei ID on the web with USA as the country and the phone was rejecting it. I then created an ID on the phone with country being Germany and that worked.

Sorry, hit me if i missed finding an FAQ that covers this.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Your phone send a request to Huawei's server for an update. The request includes some information about your phone. One of these includes a field called IMEI. Since the data is encrypted with Huawei's private key, we can't be sure what is included in this data, but my guess is it's both your IMEI and your IMSI.

Although other information is sent, Huawei will tell your phone there is or isn't an upgrade based on your current version, phone model, and the aforementioned IMEI field. They push it initially to some IMEIs, and push it later to others. They may never push it to others.

Your phone is the C636 region, which is the Asia/Pacific region, not Europe.

Anyway, the easiest way to get updates is to use FunkyHuawei. That is able to get you the latest update regardless of whether Huawei wants your specific IMEI to have it. The only other way would be to pay attention to what people with the same phone/branding as you have, and see if they're getting an update. If they are and you're not, you could try finding a Hong Kong or Malaysian SIM card, and seeing if that helps. Otherwise, you can wait.

Not the ideal situation, but Huawei works in mysterious ways, apparently.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
Thanks folks for the infos.

Is there a list of what regions the numbers indicate ? C636 being for "asia/pacific" seems to be the one thats peddled on ebay as well.

I clicked on "downloadlatest full package" both with and without US (ATT) SIM inserted, but got nothing (aka huawei tells me B124 is latest). FunkyHuawei has C636B139 though.

My orioginal problem is that i want daydream, and just sideloading vr.vrcore and vr.home was not sufficient. Store does not offer daydream only apps, and sideloaded daydream apps fail to start with an incompatibility popup (which may be possible to get around, but its just maddening).

This thread https://xdaforums.com/mobile-vr/google-daydream-vr/spoofing-daydream-compatible-device-t3534943 seems to explain how to hack up the rest of googles moronic :mad: compatibility checks, but i may just wait for a firmware upgrade that officially supports it and then worst case use FunkyHuawei to install it if Huawei does not offer it to me via upgrade.

I guess B139 is not yet introducing official daydream compatibility, or else i am sure some huawei marketing droid would have already posted that info somewhere.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Huawei!

We still did not confirm your mobile phone belong to Hong Kong version or not. If you confirm your phone was Hong Kong version only insert Hong Kong sim card then can receive OTA update. There was no other way to solve if you did not have Hong Kong sim card until now. Thank you.

- did you create your Huawei ID in exactly the country where the phone has warranty in ?

- Did you put in the HiCare settings the same country as your IMEI is from ?
