If you are using Android Studio 4.1 go to:

On Mac: Android Studio -> Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> Flutter

On Windows: File -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> Flutter

Then, after being at Flutter section, look for "App Execution" and there you have to uncheck the box "Perform hot reload on save". Then click OK and that's it.
