Ugh, that won't do for me. So if you drag down, does it not show that instead of the toggle buttons? Can you not long press on it, press app info, and uncheck show notifications like with regular apps?

Did you actually try that on a VZW S4?
I could not find blocking mode using the second app either, Any Cut. I tried a random one, a shortcut, and it immediately crashed. This was much earlier today, lulz.

Are you confirming that notification toggle works to take the wifi notification off? Or were you just asking for someone to try it?

Which I was really looking forward to using.
Which I was really looking forward to using.I haven't been able to get this to work with the Blocking Mode or WiFi Notification issues, but there is a free app called 'Quick Shortcut Maker' which allows you to create a shortcut on your homepage for certain functions which may not be listed in the Settings menus. You can type in a keyword and it will bring up options for you to test to see if it does what you want.
On both my S3 and the S4, I've used it to make a shortcut for the Task Manager so I can quickly check for open apps, etc. On the S3, I used it to create shortcuts for NFC and S-Beam which did not have toggles. Maybe it can help with some of the missing features on the S4.

Go to WiFi settings and uncheck the box for WiFi notification, very easy to do.

Two times, people are recommending something that's been already suggested and verified as not working.
Those people aren't just not reading, they aren't trying
Anyone have insight on if anyone is looking at moving blocking mode from another S4 version? They would be a hero.... could even be as simple as an apk that exists on something like a sprint version.

And here I was thinking I was missing Verizon a bit. Thank you for reminding me....
I forgot about this annoying thing since switching to using an iphone 4 a few months back. Is it still happening? It does not happen with iphone even though I'm still with Verizon.
Does this work or not?
And what about S4 blocking mode? Has Verizon allowed it to work with S4's yet? (The iphone's similar do not disturb feature works fine.) That feature is very important to me.

Let me start by saying I have rooted my phone but I haven't done anything to work around blocking mode or wifi notifications.
I can turn wifi on and off using the buttons at the top of the drag down screen available on almost any window. (I forget what it's called)
I turned the wifi pop ups off in the wifi settings, I don't recall seeing the pop ups but I tend to turn wifi off when I'm not home since I still have an unlimited data plan.
As far as I can tell blocking mode works. I can turn it on and adjust it's settings without any issues. I never use it since I have a tasker task that does the same thing. But, it turns on and if I go back and check it it's still on.
If you have any specific test you'd like me to try just let me know.
I hope that helps.

Thanks. I'm deciding between iphone 6 and either S4 or LG 2, most probably, so trying to gather information.

I have to say I'm really happy with my Galaxy S4 but it is an upgrade from my original Droid. Not the droid max or droid anything, the original droid, so I don't really have a lot of comparisons. As I said, I still have unlimited data so I tend to hold on to phones far too long. I do miss my slide out keyboard!
