Disable Water Damage Pop-ups on Galaxy S5

Ever since we have heard about Samsung Galaxy S5 back at the beginning of this year, we must admit that we have been fascinated by the idea of seeing it with IP67 certification. Things have changed, the handset become official and yes, we are all enjoying this special feature. The company’s popular Galaxy S5 is impenetrable to dust and it can also be submerged in water for no less than thirty minutes at a depth of one meter.

Anyway, Samsung has also decided to integrate a set of pop-up messages into the its device’s firmware which show on startup and after you’ve disconnected your charging cable telling you that you should check the back cover or the charging port to ensure that they are secure. If you’re tired of seeing these messages (or even annoyed, let’s admit it as they are more frequent than they should) or if you have already removed your charging port cover, we have a way for disabling these water damage pop-ups on your Samsung Galaxy S5.

Developer Gert-Jan Anema has created an Xposed module that can rid your handset of these annoying popups (it’s known as Xposed G-Touchwiz) and you can easily use it, but not before taking in consideration a few things.

Preparatory Steps:

• Only Sprint and Verizon versions of the Galaxy S5 offer the user an option to no longer show these messages, but AT&T and T-Mobile models do not include this option – that is something that you should know from the very beginning;
• You must be the owner of a rooted Galaxy S5 if you want this procedure to work; here’s a step by step tutorial on how to root your Galaxy S5;
• When it comes to root customizations, the best tool that you can choose is none other than Xposed Framework. Do you have it installed on your Samsung smartphone? If not, do this now or you won’t be able to disable these water damage popups;
• You must also enable “Unknown Sources” in order to download third-party apps to your phone.

Only now you are ready to begin!

5. When you’ve booted back up, head into the Xposed G-Touchwiz app; there you’ll see that those these pop-ups aren’t the only thing the module can control, but you can also remove the “Notifications” header in your notification panel, customize the look of S-Finder and Quick Connect and not only;
6. In order to take care of those pop-ups, you have to toggle the switches next to Disable battery cover pop-up;
