How to turn off top banner notification? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As per title, how do you turn off the white banner that slides down whenever you receive a notification (fb, appointment, charging,)? This came in after i updated to android 5.0.
It's annoying it blocks the view when i'm doing something else and i can't take it off but wait until it retracts back!
thanks

hi,
Take a look at stock Sms app, open sms app, top right three dots( menu) settings, scroll down to notifications, press and check "pop up display" if check or what. ?
2 Also, you can also check Phone app, press, three dot menu(top right) settings, call, see call related pop ups? check.. unchecked..
3 Then you can take a look at.. Settings, Sound and notifications, scroll down and press on Application notification , it will load all apps and you can select any app , block that notification if you want too ?
Is it these options you were looking for ?
good luck

thanks!
3 is what i was looking for... though i find out that if you turn it off, it will turn off ALL notifications for this app... that sucks cuz i only hate that big white banner notification.... so i'll still leave it on

You should be able to swipe it to one side as soon as it appears to get rid of it, rather than waiting for it to disappear.

[Q] Set screen to not turn on after I receive a text

I bought an LG G2 yesterday after changing my mind and not buying a Note 3 instead. It's the T-Mobile version in black (fingerprint magnet, no white ones in stock unfortunately). I'm coming from a Galaxy S2, and everything feels amazing compared to it. There's one thing I don't like, and that I can't figure out... When I get a text on my LG G2, the screen lights up, every single time. I'm a pretty heavy text user, and I average about 10,000 texts a month. Sometimes I'm in a lecture and I can't text back or use my phone, but it's sitting in my pocket with the screen on wasting my battery and opening up all kinds of apps. How do I disable this? Thanks.
I know you can change text apps that have this option.

If you are using the stock TXT app. Open the App/hit button for the menu, then settings/notifications. you should be able to do what you want there.

That's what I tried, but there's nothing about the screen in there.
I have notifications enabled, new message pop-up enabled, preview enabled, notification sound (text ringtone), vibrate set to always, and repeat alert set to every 2 minutes. Besides those settings, there's nothing, and none of them control the screen unfortunately.

Cant you just on click "notifications display message notification" ??
I'm using the app SMS pop-up to manage all my SMS notification.
The stock app has it's notifications all turned off.
As for SMS popup, there is a setting to keep the screen off when SMS is received.
Well.. I don't like the screen to turn on as well (I don't use any lock screens) and also, I like the pop up feature.

It's just a check box, so if I uncheck that box, I don't get any notifications.

Although that's not the optimal solution, I guess it'll have to do. I'll try that right now, thank you for your help.

[Q] Phone notification won't go away

Hello
I'm running Android 4.2.2 and my phone is rooted. I'm currently using full!screen+ (paid version). Whenever I receive a phone call, a window pops-down from the notification bar (see screenshot attachment). Ignore the big red mark that I accidentally made in QuickNote when capturing screenshot.
Regardless of whether I answer or decline the call, the notification window stays there and does not go away. In fact, it sits on top of any window/app I open so I can't see anything behind it.
This notification window comes up only when I'm receiving a call while another app is open (eg Gmail). If I'm on my home screen, the regular phone dialer window comes up instead of the notification window. I'm thinking it might be because of fullscreen app, but I haven't had a chance to test it after uninstalling the app yet.
Anyone else have this issue?
Try disabling incoming call pop-up in phone settings.

[Q] What is this Icon and how do I stop the spam

I'm getting daily spam messages.
Please see the icon in the upper tray to the left.
The Header says:
'New Incoming Message'
I'm not using the Samsung messaging app as default.
I'm not seeing this message in Go SMS or the Samsung messaging app.
When I pull down the drop down, I see the message from a web address, and when I press it, it takes me to the website.
What is that icon to the left and what app is this, and how do I block these morons from sending me their spam?
looks like the O for opera.. Is that installed?
Hi. Yes, I am using Opera as my browser.
It could be that.. id uninstall and see if that stops it..

I think it's related to Samsung somehow, as the symbol is within a grey circle in the drop down screen, similar to other Samsung apps.
Edit:
See attached photo........
Edit #2:
If it does have anything to do with Opera, I just went into Settings/Notifications and changed the setting to 'Denied.'
Ultimately, I'd like to block the morons, if possible.
Pull down the notification shade, long press on that notification, and that should end this mystery.

Thanks for that. I haven't received anymore spam since denying notifications, but if I do, I'll be sure to hard press it.

Notification popups

What is with the small, fast, pointless notifications popping up from some apps. Facebook & texts seem to be the only apps I have seem activate the pop-up.
Why are there no settings?
What's the point if I can adjust timing or actions?
I am a few years removed from Samsung but I imagine this is a TouchWiz feature.
I think you're seeing he edge lighting notifications. Try turning it off in settings --> display --> edge lighting
Nope. The small pop-up at the top that displays incoming messages. Edge lighting seems to work when it wants to but this is a true peek notification at the top that goes away after 1 sec, barely time to realize it is there.

For messages:
Messages -> Settings (3 dots in the corner) -> Notifications
Turn off popup display and preview message
For Facebook:
I have no clue
Looking for the globAl controls for this popup. Is it TouchWiz? Is it Android? Where are the settings?

You only get the little bubble pop-ups if Edge Lighting is on...however, if Edge Lighting is off, you get bigger pop-ups and the ability to reply within that pop-up. It only lets you do this if the Edge Lighting is off though. I've been searching and trying to get this to work right since I got the phone and just now figured it out. The Edge Lighting does nothing for me, so I'm happy to turn that feature off in order to reply within my pop-up notifications.
Turned off edge light but left panel on. I see within edge lighting there are app selections so this now makes sense. I am now getting popups as well as in training controls but it surprises me that I can control which apps. Inbox doesn't pop-up for instance but messaging does.
Does anyone experience problems when taking pictures with the messenger app, I cant seem to send the pictures. When I press the send button nothing happens. Also, I dont get popups from the email and instagram app when I use the phone, only a sound. Is it possible to regulate this?
Did you figure this out?

You mean toasts?
Try an app called "Notification History Log" if you want to see them after they vanish.

Follow thread starter:

When you hook up the phone, you will need to confirm USB debugging popup on the phone and also access to data.
Get the USB drivers from here:

Popup preview

I'm using Google messenger as my default. Some reason I'm still receiving that preview popup whenever I get a text and I can't find a way to turn it off. I do want the notification just don't want the preview showing. Anyone know how to turn that off?
I'm not 100% sure but is this the option that you speak of? If you're on the latest version of messenger, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the app, then you can find this setting inside of Notifications & Sounds.
EDIT: I'm so sorry, I had a moment of brain fog. I thought you were talking about (FB) Messenger. My apologies!
No problem. I still can't figure it out. Nobody using Google messenger here and turned off preview??
Okay I just downloaded it to have a look and I think you're out of luck mate. The only setting that even comes close to altering the notifications without downright turning them off is the option I've highlighted below under App Info > Notifications. Obviously not ideal but the choice is there.
