[HowTo] Disable heads up notification on Nougat (NO ROOT required)

[Deni_NS]

After many sleepless nights, I found solution.

As we don't have in our stock ROMs System UI tuner, we can do this even without root.

First, you'll need ADB, USB debugging ON and Samsung Drivers.

ADB:

Turn on usb debugging from developer menu (tap build number 7 times to show developer settings menu)

Samsung Drivers
- http://www.devfiles.co/download/AbRa7wHc/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe

Connect your device via USB.

Open terminal (command prompt) inside ADB folder (hold shift and mouse right click on blank space)

write :

adb devices

You should see your phone listed as numbers. After that write:

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

Restart your phone. Now your heads up notification nightmare has gone.

I FOUND A SOLUTION WITHOUT HAVING TO INSTALL ANY EXTRA APPS!

So we have all been getting the annoying heads up notifications that we don't want appearing on our phone when it's unlocked right?! Well I found a solution after playing round with my phone. First I changed the notification settings in my apps for example WhatsApp, Facebook messenger etc by going to settings > notifications > select each app you want to stop heads up from > allow notifications > show silently. Toggle this to on.

Now wait I've not finished, the go back into settings > accessibility > notification reminder and turn this on. Then turn sound on and vibrate on and select the apps you wish to receive notifications from. Then there you have it , this stops the heads up but then reminds you 1 minute later that you have a notification! I'm sure a 1 minute wait won't hurt to stop those heads up!

 

[I didn't know]

Yesterday I was searching a solution for my Note 5 and I didn't notice that it was the S7 edge forum.
I follow the tutorial step by step and it works very well too on my Note 5 SM-N920C NRD90M.N920CXXS4CRD1 (April 2018 release).
However, I do not know how to use this: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip , what is it?
In my case I use the other link for ADB installation.

P.D.: may someone put this tutorial in Note 5 forum too? I think it will be useful.

Great, except your phone then beebs ever minute until you review the notification - which can be incredibly annoying.
