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

Just 1 System App, Update Center. Notifications are general.

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] Very low internal storage!

Hi guys,
I'm still on 4.3 (LB) on my Z, and have just rooted my phone a few days ago using the new towelroot method - which worked a treat. Since then I have done a couple of things; downloaded SuperSu, iFont so that I could use different fonts on my phone & also I tried uninstalling some system apps (I think I did anyway!) using ES file explorer.
Anyhow, I noticed after doing this, my internal memory keeps getting very low despite me removing apps (games etc)! In fact, the more I am removing, the more I believe it's actually eating up memory! I only have like 1.7gb left & keep getting the stupid 'transfer to SD card' message - which is dumb seeing as I've transferred everything I could.. WHAT IS EATING THE MEMORY UP!?
So can anyone direct me if I am uninstalling system apps correctly? I am doing it by clicking on Root Explorer via ES file Explorer, then 'uninstall system app', then ticking the ones to uninstall. Is that right?
And also, is it worth updating to kitkat considering how many bugs are found with it atm? If so, should I update via OTA or PCC? As far as I understand, OTA keeps root, and PCC doesn't? For some reason I fear that updating whilst having root & a couple of system apps being uninstalled, it could mess up my phone...
Sorry for all the questions! The low storage in particular is driving me insane..
Many thanks!

Use titanium backup to uninstall system apps.
Be careful about what system apps you are uninstalling

Thanks but I don't wish to install anymore apps especially when I have already got es file explorer. I just wanted to know if I am doing it correctly on that particular app.
I am pretty sure the apps I have tried unininstalling were safe to get rid of, they were stuff like playmemories.. Some live wallpapers I hated etc.
Any other opinions on my other questions anybody please? Safe to update OTA to kitkat after having deleted system apps?

You can check what is using the internal storage in Settings -> Storage.
Removing system apps with ES file explorer should work fine, although I haven't removed system apps like that for a long time. I usually freeze them with Ti Backup as they can be restored if needed that way.
You won't be able to update via OTA any more as you have removed system apps. OTA updates check if /system has been modified and fail if it has.

I've already checked the storage part and it's just apps taking up space but the more I've deleted the more I believe space is disappearing =P I've deleted a big game I don't play to free up a bit more though
Anyhow, I didn't quite understand the last part of your paragraph/ending sorry. Do u mean it won't allow me to update OTA or check if it works? I can still do through pcc right and it won't affect anything? I know it will remove root but I'll just install the apk again
again. Just wanted to know if updating will mess up my phone because of the uninstalling of system apps.
Thanks!

I mean you can only update officially via PC Companion now. It will not mess anything up because of root or removing system apps.
When you update via OTA, during the update a check is made to see if anything has been altered in the system partition. Because you removed system apps, that check will fail and the OTA update will not go ahead.

Thats really informative, thank you. Now I understand =)
I noticed you're from UK too, did you update to kitkat the official way without flash etc? How do you find it and any problems like others have been getting? Eg. Music stutters, lags.. All these are putting me off and only thing making me want kitkat is the supposedly new and improved keyboard with emojis! But I hear there's also lag there too!?

You're welcome. ?
Yes, I'm from the UK. I got fed up of waiting for the 4.2 update and instead of moaning about it for weeks on end like some on here, I flashed Spanish firmware on my phone. Since then, I've either updated OTA or with Flashtool. Still on Generic Spanish firmware as it generally receives updates fairly quickly.
The KitKat update was a bit laggy to start with, but after a few reboots I'm having no problems with it. I can't really comment on the Xperia keyboard, as I use SwiftKey that has emojis in KitKat as well(which is now free incidentally and everyone should try it out).

I Think the very first few couple of updates from Sony did drag out insanely long for the UK, but now I think they are bringing them out too quickly lol.
So in other words, you'd recommend updating and a few reboots should do the trick? The battery drain everyone kept talking about I actually experienced before even getting Kitkat too, so not just a kitkat problem.

I can't guarantee it, but my phone is functioning fine after a few weeks usage and a few reboots.
The battery drain is down to Google Play services and requires an update from Google to fix it. Who knows when Google will fix it.

Yeah I managed to fix the drain by doing several things but never downgraded it. Maybe I should just wait for a new update instead of going onto kitkat and regretting it coz im not at all familiar with flashing files etc

S-health and S-voice won't update?

Hello everyone,
So i have towel rooted the S5, it's great and works fine except for a couple things. Like the title says, neither s-voice or s-health update. They both keep telling me they have updates but, when I try to update the app force closes. Unfortunately "blank" has stopped. I was wondering is this because of towel root or another reason. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I do not have xposed installed. Does this mean I just have to wipe the cache from the settings app?

Yes, thats what he means. Going to app manager and clearing cache
I had updated everything before I used towelroot, so I can only help in saying that a few days ago I updated with no problem.
I might also try a difference between WIFI and Data attempting to update.

I just tried to go through app manager and clear the cache and it still doesn't fix the problem. I'm thinking the only way to get around this would to be uproot and then update and root again. My only complaint about that way is - do I have to do that everytime these apps want to update?

I've updated plenty of apps since then. I wouldn't get carried away right off the bat.
There are several factors that could be preventing it from updating that are out of your control. Next thing I'd try, a stupid, yet simple. turn off, pull battery, turn on and try again. If that doesn't work just wait 12 or 24 hours before attempting again.
Like I said before, stuff out of your control, servers, networks, etc.

FOUND IT!
I'm sorry for all the trouble guys but I found the problem. What I forgot was that I froze the Samsung appstore app from within titanium backup. Realizing those are Samsung apps and not the playstore apps and defrosting the Samsung appstore is what fixed the problem.
Thank you again for trying to help. Also really sorry for the trouble. Will hit "thanks" to the responders!

Disable MotorolaOTA in the system apps in settings. If you're rooted, you can freeze it in the /system folder using Titanium or whatever else you use. Safest thing to do is to rename it with a .bak at the end, then when you're ready to update you just remove it and reboot.

Thanks for the reply. I froze it with Ti Backup, but I'm still able to check for updates manually and it reports normally.
Shouldn't that function be disabled if the OTA apparatus is truly disabled?
I do see in firewall a process called 'Device Management that I thought I could block MotorolaOTA from communicating, but there are other functions bundled, so I don;t want to do that.
Ideas, anyone?

Motorola will still be able to be communicated to, but the OTA function will be disabled, eg. no OTA will be detected. It is my understanding that blocking MororolaOTA just keeps the notification from appearing and prevents OTA downloads.

Can't send/receive SMS from stock conversations app after root

Hi,
I have rooted my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact yesterday. I have also installed Xposed framework and GravityBox. I'm using pre-rooted D5803_23.4.A.1.232_R5C_Central Europe 1 Generic_1288-7915 FTF.
My problem is that I can't send and receive SMS message on stock Conversations app. When I send message, I get floating popup 'Can't send message'. In another apps like Hangouts etc, everything works fine.
Does anyone know what can I do, beside changing sms app to another?
UPDATE:
Only Hangouts allows me to send and receive sms

I have the same issue, only Hangouts works as an SMS app, nothing else... any solutions?

Oh boy this is messed up.
Will I loose root after that?
And will I have to do it every time I update my phone with a pre-rooted FW?

It was an issue on the very first version of MM that the phone (APN) settings weren't updating, but it's been fixed long ago.
The latest version is now 23.5.A.1.238
