I'm not sure if it's possible like that but if you try to push it some sec on the notification you have information about the application or something like that, select it then choose disable.

Yes, you can, on unrooted device go to Apps > All > Update Center and Clear Cache and Stop the Application. The notification will disappear but when you will Reboot your phone, it will be back and you will have to repeat the process.
or
Install Root Uninstaller, Root needed, and Disable the Application, it will be Frozen. No more notifications.

I use the Xposed module NotifyClean for this very purpose.

It's not possible to simply disable notifications instead disabling all the app in the app settings?

goto
settings/apps/all/update centre
then untick the option to show notifications
no root needed

Sorry but I cannot do that, that is why I advice to disable the Application. On my Update Center the option is hided. See the pic.

..then tell me how I do that on mine, see the pic.

Maybe because you already have the notification in your notification bar.
Clear data, reboot and try again

You need to force stop BEFORE then you can unstick it and re start it

Is not working, again. I did this 10 times before give up and I do this again to let you see that I already tried.
Wi-Fi on, I reboot my phone, the notification appear on notificatiuon Bar. I go to Apps > All > Update Center and I FORCE STOP, the notification disappear, the option Show Notifications still Hided. Then I clear Data and Cache too, nothing.
To be sure I disable Wi-Fi and reboot, the application running again but no notification (of curse wi-fi off) then I repeat the process, Apps > All > Update center, Force Stop, nothing, the option still hided.
This is what I talking about.
Maybe they changed that on 4.4, sorry I still on 4.3, but to me should not make any difference as the application have his own version.

Well, my update centre is version
2.2.0.A.0.8
Maybe you should update the update centre to that...

Hmm, probably, so I think they update the Update Center on 4.4 where that option is available.

Same here, cannot untick it, it's grayed out, but I just cleared the data in Update Center app, and done. Notification gone, it comes back but after a long while (I've deleted data and it's been two weeks since the notification hasn't appeared) or in the case of a phone restart or if you refresh the app in the app drawer, forcing it to re-check for an update.

That's why on 4.3 with Update Center v2.1.1.A.0.10 is better to Disable the App, but to do that you have to be Rooted and have Root Uninstaller installed.

I don't want to disable the app, because I still want to get notifications about Sony's apps. I just clear data, and let the application still run. And I still don't have root and don't yet feel the need to do it.

[Q] Cannot enable Hangouts as default SMS app

I have a rooted 4.4 Moto X (non dev version so unlocked bootloader). I can't enable it in the Settings for hangouts (the option is there, but when I click it nothing happens).
I have a few things greenified and frozen in titanium so turned off greenify and unfroze a few things, rebooted, still no change.
I uninstalled the Hangouts app, cleared data and cache, and tried again. Still click it but nothing happens.
Any ideas? thanks in advance

Mine also lists titanium backup as an option, though i believe it is because i had it restore my texts. Sounds like something is messed up with the system, might need a factory reset.

Did you update the latest hangouts and turned on SMS from hangouts then it asks if you want hangouts as default messaging. If not try disabling it which will downgrade it and update it after and try again.

yes I went through and uninstalled updates, and then it updated again in google play store. The OPTION is there to enable it, but when I tap it nothing happens. After it upgraded hangouts, it came up with the 'do you want to enable SMS in hangouts' screen, but again clicks "Yes I'm in" did nothing

[Q-Help] How avoid the OTA 4.4 Update and Rid of Notification?

Hey Everyone,
How are you Guys today?
I received the OTA Notification on my phone about System Update (305.5MB).
Someone can tell me how can I Rid of this Update on my Phone?
At the moment I am happy with 4.3 but the Notification of the update do not want go away and I have to be really carefully all the time to do not click the Update now.
There is any way to disable this Update on my phone with the Notification?
BTW, I am on Stock.
You can go to settings/Apps/All and force to stop Update Center. The bad news is that you will have to do this after every reboot.
alternativly i think gravitybox has options to choose which notifications to hide, i personally use LBE as a firewall so i use it to hide unwanted notifications

[Q] Remove Xperia system update notification?

I'm getting this notification about the system update, and it is persistent.
I've tried checking the box "do not remind me about this update " and restarting several times.
I do not wish to update, in case a root method comes out for the old fw version.
So how do I remove this notification?
Go to Settings>Apps>All>Update Center
And untick show notifications. Hope it works for you

For a weary traveler with the same problem this is what I did: I am rooted and installed titanium backup. open titanium backup, search for update and wipe data for update service 1.0 and software update. Then freeze both apps and you will not have any problem with the install file downloading. Hope that helps.

I've no data atm on the handset, do you mean using Titanium backup ?
If so i'll need to wait until Thursday until my data is renewed, I was hoping on 5.1 there was a setting I could change as this is an old thread

The advice for Titanium is a load of Tosh, never did nothing
Anyone got any other ideas, i've had 2 system updates stuck on the Z5 compact for 2 weeks lol
maxmix
this worked for me, no root, you have to hide com.sonyericsson.updatecenter
adb shell
pm hide com.sonyericsson.updatecenter
exit
adb reboot
There is no update center in L.
You can close the permanent notification with force stopping Software Update app in Settings/All.

I have a rooted xperia z5 compact and this worked for me!
Try this:
About:1.You can use the Notify Block
2.In the presence of rooting:
2.1. Using the application ® Root Explorer (File Manager), follow the path: system/priv-ap/UpdateCenter/ and delete UpdateCenter.apk
2.2. Using the application ® Titanium Backup remove\freeze "software Update".
The first reply mentions Settings -> Apps -> All, but there is NO "All", so that suggestion does not help.

[Q] Apps can't update or download....

Hello all,
I'm having a bit of an issue where I can't download or update anything from play store or anywhere else really. Things start downloading and then when they near completion and get to about 98%, they get stuck there and eventually give an error that they cant download. It's only happening on my new Lollipop install. I flashed the 23.1.A.0.726 ftf file on an unlocked bootloader and i am running it on Androplus advanced stock kernel v2.
I've not has this issue on a similar version of kitkat that I currently have a back up of on the same phone. \I'm just bouncing between the two when i get some time to try and fault find the lollipop version. Obviously I want to move to the lollipop version permanently but i will only do that when I've sorted out this issue.
I cant seem to find anyone having the same issue. I've tried the following methods but they didn't work....
First.
Quick toggle pull down
Settings
Apps
Swipe left to the "all" catagory
Scroll down till you find "Google Play Store"
Force stop
Clear data
Now try the play store
If that doesn't work
Try
Quick Toggle pull down
Settings
Scroll down to accounts
Tap Google
Tap your account
Tap the settings menu (three dots in the upper right)
Remove Account
Back out to the settings screen
Add Account
Google
Sign in with your Google account
Does anyone have any other possible solutions to this or know what the hell maybe going on?
Thank you!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a look in system apps and both of these are there and unfrozen.
I'm actually trying to run LP 5.0.2: Massive DEBLOATING/23.1.A.0.726 custom FW for Z3C -all working (xposed etc) by moly82. I've tried a full wipe and install via recovery and still i cant get any apps to actually fully download and install. They all get to 99%and then never install for some weird reason.
did you finally solved somehow your problem?
try to flash the latest ROM from moly82 (v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161

Is there a way to stop Software Update on stock firmware?

You can disable it with BK disabler.
Have you tried This? What services would I need to disable?

Using it now.
Just go to the system tab and disable the blue coloured software update with BK disabler. Done.
Can't find a link to the app.
Is there a way to manually do it through settings?

Yeah me neither lol. Just disable options through settings -> software update. It might still eventually push updates after a while though. Long-term you can disable Software update with Titanium Backup if rooted, or else use BK Package Disabler as described earlier.
what if you enable them back but when checking for a software update it just says "up to date", i am running the Nov 1st security patch, have had updates disabled since i use Sub overlays and have a custom ui, just tonight i went and u installed everything bcuz i heard there was a security patch out that was needed n order to get Oreo later this month..i know for a fact my phone isnt up to date.
anyone know what is going on??
my provider is AT&T, any help would b appreciated.
btw..i am NOT rooted or running any custom roms.
Just use bk disabler, disable everything related to software updates, this prevents even the forced updates that sometimes samsung or carriers push, when you re enable all, if there is some update, yo will be able to install it
yeah, using the app is no problem..it's when i enable the updates again thru BK my phone is saying its up to date and i know for a fact it is like 4 security patches behind..i have no idea how to fix it.
i enabled all apps including the update ones, uninstalled BK also.

You are just awesome, pretty and simple. Thank you so much.
For those who do not understand you need activate Developers Options (google it)
Then in Developers Option, uncheck Auto Update System.
