Annoying feature...

[cesar357]

Ok. Just got my new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The phone is actually...fantastic. one problem. SMH! I can't get rid of those annoying text message pop ups in the middle of the screen. I used Message+ and the Samsung Text app, both have that issue. I've gone into the settings and turned off notifications, and still...won't work. I don't like that pop up coming up. Anyone knows how to really get rid of this pop up message that comes out right in the middle of the screen?

Thanks.

You should be able to turn off pop ups in either app. It may be in an advanced setting somewhere.

I got this from a search on S6

On the new Samsung Galaxy S6, the following function is automatically activated in the messages app: "Pop-Up Display" This function shows you each new SMS that you receive on your Samsung Galaxy S6 in a separate pop-up window when an app is open. This function is designed to help you to read the first few lines of text. Would you like to disable this feature on your Samsung Galaxy S6 and receiving no pop-up alerts for new SMS anymore, then proceed as follows: Open on your Samsung Galaxy S6 from the home screen the menu and then the settings. In the settings scroll all the way down to the section "Applications" and tap on "Messages". You will now find in the next submenu the menu item "Notifications". Select it and you will be forwarded deeper in a submenu. In this you can see the "pop-up display" feature. Erase here the hook in the checkbox to turn off the pop-up notification when a new SMS message comes in. Have you removed the hook and you receive a new message on your Samsung Galaxy S6 now, then it will not be displayed as a pop-up.

Building on what @bkdodger says - for the S7 Edge, it is in system settings, applications, under application settings click on "messages" and then "notifications" and turn off pop-up display...

Just got it today after telling myself I didn't need it ...very solid device and love the added edge functionality...I haven't used it on active service, that'll be a day or two after I get it all set up.

WTF!? WHYYYYY!? That's such an Apple thing to do, to bury a setting like that. Put those settings into the app's settings menu like a proper android developer!!!!
