Notification when I press Power Button

Hello ...
I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 from Saturday (NOT rooted ... yet). After a lot of hours searching and setup I have this "problem":
When I press the PowerButton for 2-3 seconds to show the options: Reboot/ShutDown/SafeMode it sounds the Messages notification !! How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.

I still cannot disable it (without reset the phone)
I wonder if this notification is by default ....???
Thanks

Dunno if you can remove it without root, but you can do it with root. You find system sounds at /system/media/audio/ui. There you should find the sound file regarding power menu, then delete it and reboot and that's it.

@zavag
I try to turn it on to reproduce your problem but In my case, I can not even find out how I can turn it on.
Can you tell me...
How you activated it?
On which build are you?
@Henkate
I think it would be rather embarrassing for Samsung if you can not even personalize a notification tone without major changes to the system.
By the way, even if I do not actually think of TouchWiz. For me it's just ugly and overbloat!

I really don't know how it activated. The phone is new and ... you know ... I was searching a lot of settings in order to setup as I like. I googled it ... I found some infos but it didn't work.
On the other hand I don't want to reset (and most I don't want to root it from now) because I spent a lot of hours to set it up.

Know what you mean! I think if there is really no other way you are at minimum able to backup your settings in almost any app.
Maybe you like to inform about adb based backup solutions like declared here:
https://www.droidwiki.de/wiki/Backup/Ohne_Root
I also found a tool called Ultimate Backup on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
If you don't have access to a Linux or at least Windoof computer you can maybe search for how to use adb through androids buit in Linux command shell. Don't know if there is a workaround.
But in my opinion it is already poor from Samsung if one must operate such an effort in order to turn off a notification!

Official Nougat - turn off Peek Notifications?

I can't seem to find the equivalent to the setting that disables the "Pop-Up" notification setting in Nougat 7.0. This link explained how to do it in MM...
https://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-s7-disable-heads-up-notifications/
Anyone find something like this?

Same here.

Well I did that and worked for me in Nougat on my S7 Edge Duos. I tried it with whatsapp and I'm not getting the preview pop-up anymore while using the phone

but you wont get the vibration alerts either

They actually removed that exact feature from Nougat. You can silent the entire notification, but cannot turn off the floating notifications.

I was looking for solution on this either, stupid sumsung removed one of the best nougat control over notifications that you could define levels of notifications control and their priorities even of the list (The power controls notifications)... Idiots.
Now or you only have 2 options:
NO PEEK+NO VIBRATION/SOUND
PEEK + VIBRATIONS
instead of the great different levels of notifications control. Samsung always does some **** to piss off users.... because they decreasing the control that the user have over the phone instead of increasing.

F! That's true... sorry... I was on DND mode so I didn't realize that.
Hope we find some way...

Unless there is maybe a port from somewhere or an xposed alternative but still might not be possible since it can be far too complex as it mixes the notifications and settings, so I doubt we will ever get this properly working...

ADB method confirmed working! Thank you!!!!
(extract below...)
a) Open a terminal and check if the device is connected using the following command:
Code:
adb devices
b) You should see your phone on the list that appears. Now use the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0c) Reboot your phone.
d) Done!

So with this method there is not PEEK but the sound still works right?
The drawback for me is that I wanted only certain apps without peek+sound, but not all the apps...

Is that on the home screen? If so, you can always use a launcher like Nova w/Tesla badge notification. Mine are working properly with Nova (but I don't use Viber...)

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 ..

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.

Samsung Galaxy S6/S7/S8/Note8 - Adding Missing/Hidden Quick Toggles/Tiles

Due to my own experiences after having purchased many Galaxy devices, I've noticed, Samsung likes to hide toggles.. So I always put my own back in, with adb, or an app. For newer android devices, we need adb.
So on your Galaxy, go to settings>developer options, and enable USB debugging, and Stay awake. (If you don't see developer options, go into 'About phone', and tap on 'Build Number' 7+ times until achieved.
Plug your phone into your computer, and make sure it's drivers are installed and the phone is coming up properly.
Download the ADB files, on your PC, here in a .Zip or a Folder
Then, open up an Admin CMD, (if you don't know how, GOOGLE.) Then, open up the directory of the ADB folder in the cmd.
Example, on my computer, I left the folder in downloads, so I type into the cmd cd c:\users/Jae/downloads/platform-tools Example
Type adb devices into the cmd. (Make sure only one phone is attached) If you see your phone, (random looking numbers & letters) good. If it says 'unauthorized' check the phone and make sure tap allow, if you don't see anything.. detach it & reattach, and type in adb devices again. When it says 'device', you're good. Go to the next step.
Type adb shell and at this point, you should be looking like This.. If you do, copy and paste this settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
Once it loads, copy what came up by highlighting like this, and then use ctrl+v . Yours will be/look different, depending on your toggles. Paste it into a text file, or whatever.
Then copy settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles and paste it in front of all of that, then put ' in front of the first toggle, and after the last toggle. Like this, 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth' < JUST AN EXAMPLE
This is where you add in your missing toggles, using only commas to separate, no spaces.. Most commonly desired MobileData. There's more, if wanted. So, for example, if you start with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth'
You should finish with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth,MobileData,WifiHotspot' or any order you like. (MAKE SURE NO SPACES IN BETWEEN ANY TOGGLES. ONLY COMMAS.)
Should be looking like THIS!! then, copy it so it looks just like in the last screenshot. Simply right click in the cmd, and hit enter..
If you get a syntax error, you did something wrong. Like leaving out the ' at the beginning, and ' at the end of the toggles, or spaces somewhere other than the command.
If you have no errors, check your Quick Toggles for the newly added ones. Should be there, no restart necessary or anything.
If successful, congrats. If not, I can help. Just ask. (don't ask about anything other than the topic, PLEASE..)
As of December 30th, 2019, this still works just fine. HOWEVER on newer android updates, 'MobileHotspot' has been renamed to JUST 'Hotspot' . So if you're not seeing the icon after applying this fix, this is probably why. Try with Hotspot instead of MobileHotspot.

Thanks for the solution, finally I added mobile data icon!

No problem! Glad this worked out for you.

Hey there! This worked great prior to the update I just did last week. I wanted to get the wifihotspot to be the first icon when i dropped the quick toggle menu down, instead of rifling through Settings, Connections, Mobile Hotspot and tethering, then finally able to switch it on. Now when I put wifihotspot in the command line you posted, it just stays at the default. It's as though they may have changed the name of the wifihotspot toggle to something else. Any idea? My phone is a S7, Android 8.0.0, Samsung Experience version 9.0, Baseband version G930W8VLU3CRE3. A lot more software info but hopefully that's enough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I have the same problem with MobileData. Even though I add it to the list, the tile doesn't seem to appear...
Any idea on the new name if it even exist anymore?

So, would I be able to add the DeX software toggle thats on the galaxy tab s4? this would be the best.

Best answer all the times
I have been looking for this solution nearly a year! And thank you really, thank you too much. I m glad.

AWESOME! Added "HotSpot" to my Rogers Galaxy S8+ in Canada. Thanks so much!

Question
I have small question. Is there a way to stop asking "Turn off mobile data" question?
I mean for example mobile data on. And when you touch toggle it asks "Mobile Data unless.. bla bla do you want to turn off mobile data?" I just want to change it as without any question.

Thank you
I was able to add "Hotspot" toggle to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

This, I am not sure. I was also wondering the same thing, but it wasn't that big of a deal to me to search for it or try to disable it myself.

I can confirm this MobileData name has remained the same through current date. Dec 30, 2019. I just received an update on my phone and had to repair tiles again. Nothing has changed with this.

Unfortunately, installing other software isn't as simple as this TileCode fix.
You should search other XDA threads for that. And beware, read EVERYTHING before trying to apply anything!

Phone been acting weird... need help

My phone has been acting really weird for a few months now and I can't figure it out. Is there a way to find all apps on the phone user installed, system, and hidden?? My phone isnt rooted; well I havent rooted it nor does it say it has. For instance earlier when I pushed my volume button there was an accessibility guy there nothing would open when I pushed him and while looking threw my accessibility settings and checking here and there to see if he was still there, he just vanishes without me turning anything off. Like WTF. Theres other weird things but that's just the most recent 1. And it's got me very concerned. Pls help!!

Your probably have a setting on in Accessibility like visibility enhancements or screen reader, you'll need to turn it off.
For list of apps you can view them in Settings > Apps ( Tap the 3 dots on the top right and tap "Show system apps" )

That's what I thought at first so I went threw my accessibility settings and they r all off. He hasn't been back so far that I have noticed. I know there r some spyware and malware that u can hide from being seen or make it look like some random app. Is there a way to use like adb or android studio to scan it for something that shouldn't be there.

I'm not sure too much about malware, I do know that Samsung has their own "Security Features" in Settings > Device Care > Security if you want to scan your device, also try Play Protect.
Seeing that the Accessibility issues are out of the way, what other problems are you experiencing ?

I saw the guy again but this time I kinda got to look at the running services and I found this. Could that have something to do with it?? As u can kinda tell, once I forced stopped that cloud messaging service the time changed on it and went under the dual messenger service. But as I was saying beforehand, google play services always had a pop up saying using headphones in the background. But my data doubled in the last 2-3 months, things I download will just disappear and pictures (like my phone will restore itself a few days but not my messages or calls), my phone also keeps adding a new camera gallery like it's not connected anymore and is a new camera same with the screenshot folder. Theres also a few other things

So Cloud Messaging's time would change because after you stopped the process it restarted itself. But the other things make it look like your phone is being haunted :laugh:

someone recording camera on my phone

Hello guys,
Someone is using my phone to record what happening on cam
Could someone please help me on how to disable this ? Each time i connect to my wifi this icon near hours show up and start blinking, any one have an idea ?
Thanks guys

Depending on what version of Android you have, you could go through permissions to see which apps allow camera use while app is running. Use the Permissions manager to do this.
Turn them off any suspect apps. If that doesn't do it, turn them off in batches until you narrow it down.

A good starting point: Disable for all applications that you side-loaded ... meaning, any apps that you didn't install from the Google Play store.

I did a clean install, everthing was erased (with odin samsung phone), untill now all god, but each time i connect to my wifi the small icon start recording...
Any idea guys ?

That symbol is samsungs screen recorder
