My phone is on the latest firmware with 5.0.2. I successfully rooted my phone after a couple of sleepless nights and tons of stress when the phone suffered a boot loop. I do not want to undergo that process anytime shortly, though fun it was. (Damn! I keep speaking like Yoda) Sony keeps pushing updates every ten days and it creates trouble all over again. I searched before I posted this and in kitkat there was an option under personalisation to disable OTA. However that no longer is present. Can the OTA be disabled? Can anyone tell me how to do it?
There is a app called update center as i remember correct. In the app there u can turn off ota notification. Or flash a debloated rom, most of them has no ota app
Hey basti thanks for the reply but I am not able to find any such app. Tried whatsnew app and disabled updates but I guess that is only for apps that comes like xperia lounge. Further clarity would be nice.

When the update notification appears at the top of your phone, pull down to reveal the notification menu. Long press and hold on the update message and an option to view "app info" will pop up. Click on that option and it will take you to the update notification screen where you will see a check box that you will have to clear to prevent notifications from appearing for OTA updates.

Great idea puffdaddy but the only problem is that I am looking for a way to prevent it from downloading itself. In my phone, on the last occasion, the update was already downloaded and then it informed me that it was ready to be installed. I am ideally looking for a way to prevent the download itself

That's strange. I never had that problem. Check your settings within the update app to make sure it's not set to auto download updates

Hi
Does anyone else have problems with notifications? For me they work for few hours and then they stop working and only rebooting the phone fixes it.
It happened to me today...
Non of notifications alerted on my gear 2....
Restarting the gear, no change, restarting the phone... the notification is back
I do have notification but I don't get any details about it, no preview of the messages at all, just that I should check details on my phone... ridiculous! they do it on purpose...
I have found that I only get notifications on the Gear when the phone screen is on. If the phone screen is off, no notifications except Gmail.

Yep, having similar issues, however I get the notification on the phone, however it doesn't vibrate for all apps, behaviour is very inconsistent. I have emailed samsung support but am not holding my breath

With the new gear manager update i seem to be getting my notifications more consistantly, but also, like you, have lost all detail to them. Only the fact that I got a notification and what it came from (text, email,...). It no longer gives the text or email body.
I would love to hear if someone has a fix for this.

I'm getting exactly this issue.
Hopefully we'll see a fix for this. I'm sure Samsung is right on top of it.
:/
The issue is you updated galaxy gear manager.
There is a new setting in it to control it the notification has a preview, or just to tell which app gave the notification.
Seems like this setting only works for tizen os.
I updated to tizen using these instructions and all works again.

(kies3 wasnt recognizing my phone) .
Good luck.
I didn't feel the need to update to tizen. I liked android and my watch styler. But preview of messages is a necessity.

Weird. That option has always been available
I dont rememeber which thread i got this File saprovider , all you have to do is Force close GearManager , then uninstall Saprovider "settings > application manager " then install the one from link.
this should fix everything , stop battery drain and make it works as it should be, notification and media control ... etc
Just incase , stop auto update from samsung app market.
Tried the saproviders.apk mod, and it still didnt bring back complete notifications.
All WhatsApp notifications show as "WhatsApp" instead of the senders name, which is kinda useless.
Cant stop Gear Manager from updating, as there is no option.
If you hit cancel, it will exit. If you hit update, it will update even without samsung Apps, as it's updating independently now.
I know this because I don't have Samsung Apps on My phone.
yeah its damn force update again and mess up everything again
I'm getting notifications, but no popup on my gear. They show in the notifications app on the gear, though. Sad days...
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.
Hey all,
there is probably nothing new for you that the long-running application consuming some bigger amount of power are killed after some time on Huawei P10 (and on other Huawei/Honor phones using EMUI). I use Runkeeper for example and it's always killed after some time (1-3 hours). I tried those:
Settings > Battery > "gear icon" > "Close excessively power-intensive apps" > Off
Settings > Battery > Lock screen cleanup > "Don't close Runkeeper app"
Apps > Settings > Special access > Ignore battery optimization > "Allow Runkeeper app"
I tried to kill "Power Genius" system app. I tried to kill "imonitor" system app but it's started again in a while
I tried to open the recent applications and lock the application by a padlock.
There is nothing more I could try. Still the same issue. So my question is if there is some workaround for that even when I would have to root my phone.
Thanks!!
Try to Open the recent application and click the lock icon to keep the application from being killed.

Thanks for reply. I tried that but it also didn't help :-/. I updated the list of attempts in my first post.
I installed the new update B133 and it's seems to be fine so far. I biked with Runkeeper 4h30m yesterday.
update: nope, it didn't help

Same probleam with me cant fix
It seems that the only workaround for that is to buy a big powerbank and keep a phone charging all the time you are running a power-instensive app. Then the app is not killed.
I hate Huawei. They do not reply to my mails and a support does not work. This bug should be fixed for a phone like P10.
I had a similar problem with Strava. After an hour or so it was killed. Hopefully the issue gets solved in the B164 version.

I hope that also. The option to turn off this aggressive behavior is in the settings but it obviously doesn't work. I'm pretty sad that I didn't find any way how to report this bug to Huawei. I just got an anwser from Czech 1st level support that I can complain about it to a seller. I hope that they know about this bug and they are going to fix it. It's already 3rd update and this bug is still there.
Did it get fixed?
I’m currently looking into buying a new phone, and I came across the P10 and fairly quickly this issue caught my attention - I’m not going to buy a phone that automatically kills the programs I want to have running, so does anyone know if this got fixed?
Oreo update

Hi,
Still running the official CN version.
Just received the official MIUI 12.5.3 OTA update. Installed flawlessly.
When scanning through settings, I tried to change my wallpaper to either my own picture, or to a pre-installed one and unfortunately it doesn't work.
In the preview frame, it shows the picture I have selected on the Home Screen, but always shows a black screen for the Lock Screen.
When exiting the settings page, I just have a black screen on the Home Screen as well as on the Lock Screen.
I only managed to get a picture on both of them, if I select a Live Wallpaper. Then I have it on both screens. It also works with a third party Wallpaper Changer, where I select my own pictures, but again, I cannot select a fixed Lockscreen picture which after selection turns into a black screen only.
In addition, the setting (on the same page) for changing the Unlock Animation is completely missing.
I tried already all kind of things, rebooting several times, without success.
I guess it is a bug, but wanted to ask if someone has encountered a similar issue on the original China ROM?
Does the google play store services work on your device after update? I've got mine downloaded, but delayed the update until this is clear is it safe to update.

Same happened to me. I'm in the Uk.
Maybe they stopped the rollout.
Another issue I found is that when using the gesture mode to open up the Recent Files, it still shows the old style, where to terminate an app is done by swiping left or right, not as shown in some videos, where you need to swipe up.
It also doesn't show how much Ram is used/free.

Could be of those issues. Let's wait..
Hello Guys,
I have Problems with my Notification. I don't get Notification for 80% of the Apps. If I go into the App, the Notifications appear. After I reboot my Phone, all Apps spam all recent Notifications and it works for 1-2 Days. After that I have to reboot my Phone again, otherwise I don't get the notifications anymore till I open the App.
I recognized that If I get Notifications I see them normally in the Lock screen. If I unlock the phone but don't open any App I don't see any Notification on the Lockscreen anymore. I have to unlock my phone and swipe down to see all the Notifications. Is this Android 12 related or a real issue?
Thanks for feedback!
Your the first one who complains about it and i even have auto launch off from every app background activity off and recent task lock removed and still i can't get rid of those notifications but at them moment for notifications on your lockscreen you can now set it up per app at app info NOTIFICATIONS maybe you didn't see that

You just can reset the Guest Account but you cannot fully delete it. Do you have also notification problems?

Yes, sadly been thinking about converting to NA firmware to see if it makes any difference in some of the bugs I've been seeing with OP's TMO firmware. Also the faster updates/no TMO bloatware are a plus.
