To disable OTA update service

Hello,
I ve found a way to disable system update service.
1. Download disable service from the play store.
2. Disable All thread under Device update
3. Disable SystemUpdateService under Google Play services

vandoor

it worked!
I just followed the steps and the update notification in my nexus 5 is gone!
thanks a lot!

If you just want to remove the notification you can long press the notification, go to App Info and uncheck Notifications.

First of all the thread is a little old, and secondly all that does it remove notifications for that, it still downloads in the background and you might miss other important notifications.

If I recall I believe I read somewhere years ago that said if you rename the ..fota.apk in system/apps it will not check for a system update? Perhaps I am mistaken...its been a couple years.

Keep in mind that doing it that way only hides the notification.
It will still download, and it WILL wakelock to do so.

I am using this to disable the OTA notification for Lollipop. It eliminates the notification but the update is still available under About Phone/System Updates, and it requires touching "Download" to download. So, why do you think the OTA will still occur?

I'm saying that it will just hide all system notifications, NOT get rid of the OTA. You'll miss other system notifications if you do get any and the OTA will still be waiting.

So what other options are there? I downloaded 'Disable Service' from Play Store, unchecked the three everyone has been suggesting, but those three would then wakelock my phone 100% of the time.

Thanks for the heads up OP!

If you check app info you will notice you are disabling notifications for Google play services app. This app has nothing in common with standard android system notifications so they will continue to work. Question is, what other notifications does play services app has that could be considered important to the user.

[Q]Sprint OTA Notification

OK.. I'd like to get rid of this notification for now as I've already Unlocked, Rooted and installed TWRP. I realize I can now just use the ToolKit and easily revert back and take OTA but I'm wondering is there anything I can possibly freeze in TiBu??
I'm new to Nexus so go easy on me!
Thanks!

I'd take the OTA. Fixes some things. Only takes 5 minutes to re root and install TWRP

I realize that and probably will at some point.. Was more of a general question just to get the pesky notification out of there until this weekend some time.

There's no "remind me later" option?

Longpress the notification.
Select app info.
Uncheck show notifications.

Well I've tried that and it's Google Play Services. It does get rid of it, but was hesitant to do that for GPS.
But it's OK. No need to go on about this I suppose, like I said earlier this is my first Nexus and also I just left Verizon so I'm used to having to do silly things liked Freezing OTA updates. Certainly not the case here, suppose you guys caught me being a Nexus Noob [emoji16]
Edit..
By the way I just had to use the App Manager and disable Notifications for Play Services. The Long Press method from notification bar brought me to another screen entirely.
Thanks for the kick in the right direction.

First Nexus device? Well welcome on board! The future holds a lot of great stuff for a new nexus. Won't be be long before custom Roms amongst other things start rolling out.

Massive Galaxy Apps update

Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.

Thanks for heads up, here's what I got

same here...
hope something's good

That's the only useful new feature of all the updates.. rest all are related to integration with bixby.

Thanks for the info

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.

touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

Drop down menu?

Got my Samsung iPhone

Got the official android pie One UI update tonight and just wtf is this mess ? I like the reachable menu items but no swiping across to access the next menu item is less intuitive. Swiping down to access notification is now drawn out, a quick flick down doesn't open it you have to drag your finger down. Performance modes seem to be missing.
All in all it just looks like iPhone OS.
I'll get used to it a guess, well I'll have to won't I ?
I'm sure there's more I'm going to complain about as I've only been on Pie for about 20mins.

Lmao. You're a moaner, aren't ya? ?

Can't disable Bixby, omg are you really happy with this steaming pile ? I feel like someone has took my flagship Samsung phone and replaced it with a budget model.

Now I'm gonna have to factory wipe it cos it's running like a bag of ****, stuttering

I completely agree. It's really terrible.
What have they done to multitasking?
You used to be able to swipe from one corner of a full screen app to put it in windowed mode. That's completely gone.
In order to use split screen you have to go into recents. Swipe back to the app you were using (because it moves away from view). Tap the icon at the top of the app. Select "open in split screen view". Then either scroll through all your recent apps to find the one you want to have one the bottom half of the screen. Or if it isn't in your recent apps you have to find it by typing into a search box! (You can't even switch which is top and bottom any more.)
In Oreo you just opened recents tapped split screen on one app and selected the other from the app-list in the bottom.

Totally! I am so frustrated that I threw my phone from a moving car. Never touching a Samsung again. That will teach them. I bet they will go out of business now!

No-one else has these problems so it's not the OS, have you factory reset yet?
Always factory reset after a major OS update Oreo > Pie
Or as I already explained how to, flash back to Oreo

It's a new OS, it is different to the last one, there is an easy way to go back, no-one likes listening to someone complaining about everything possible in multiple threads for no reason other than you don't like it, that's not productive and is not going to change anything, so either learn to live with it or flash back to Oreo
Why keep complaining you don't like Pie when you absolutely do not have to use it? It's just whining mate, no-one likes that and all you'll do (As is already happening) is annoy other members
If you're having problems with it, then by all means ask questions on how to fix it, but don't just keep posting the same old thing over and over saying it's crap it's crap, you don't like it, we get it
EDIT - Go spam Samsung's twitter account with your dislikes, at least the people who did this horrendous thing to your phone will hear you that way

Come on mate, you must know it's not helping anything, totally understand it's not cool when features you used are removed, happened to me with my S7 and I took Samsung's head off about it, but other than an initial post here asking where it had gone, there's no need to keep hammering it, it's gone.
If you need a hand flashing back to Oreo I`ll happily help, only take a few mins once you have the firmware downloaded

One answer to that is dont use Samsung apps. I have plenty of space so I use the Google dialer, Google Messages, and Google calendar. In fact, I don't use any stock Samsung apps and have most of them disabled along with Samsung Experience Home. With Home disabled the recent menu is vertical again. Of course, with receents vertical you can't use the hold home slide right option.

You can disable Bixby and Software updates using Package Disabler Pro, does not require root either

Notification problem

Hi.
I just noticed that when I received a WhatsApp message I get no notification. Same when someone calls me on WhatsApp. The notification only shows up when I open WhatsApp.
Something that it's probably related, accubatery doesn't provide any stats, everytime I open it it's like I start it for the first time.
I'm pretty sure there is some hidden task killer that doesn't allow most of the apps to do background stuff.
Any idea?
PS: I removed WhatsApp and Accubatery from batery optimization, reinstalled both apps, same thing.
Thanks
LE: In case someone runs into this, disable "deep process clean" feature under settings/system/advanced. It should sort it out.

I have the same problems but I can't solve.

I don't think it's possible that the CN rom would have a glaring fault like this - "Deep Process Clean" enabled but not having an option to disable it.
The whole moniker is pretty clearly a badly translated Chinese version of the concept.
Perhaps, two different people translated it from Chinese to English in the two roms.
Here's a suggestion:
1) Process could be "task", "program", "app."
2) Clean could be "kill", "end", "terminate."
3) Deep could be "Old", "late", "unused."
An actual native speaker of Chinese would probably knock it out of the park on first attempt. Still, I think it's worth a try.

any solved yet for cn rom?

It seems to have disappeared from settings... Do you have notification problems?

Right after the update to NA 1.18, there were no problems - the Deep Process Clean setting disappeared, but notifications were coming in fine.
That was months ago. Now, I just tested Gmail, and it won't receive emails until the phone is turned on.
We need a solution to this. Quickly.

The problem is that the "Deep Process Clean" option disappeared from settings, and now the phone won't get notifications until it is turned on. The notifications were fine immediately after 1.18 update, but now, 1.5 months later, Gmail won't work until the phone is turned on. Some other people have also noticed this behavior.
If there's an update coming up, could you ask the engineers to put the "Deep Process Clean" option back please?
Thanks.

Version 1.18 removed the deep process clean feature due to some bugs, it will kill the apps and preventing them to run in background. You can do a factory reset and see if you can get the notification.

I am not sure what to make of it.
1) The option was removed, but clearly, the code is still there that kills the background apps.
2) He suggested that I do a factory reset, because I may "see if you can get the notification." I would hate to the reset the phone and find out it still kills apps.
3) I wonder if there's any way to clear cache or data from some app/system app to make this work.
Any ideas?
