[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

For Gravity Box root is needed, isn't it?

Aye, root is faboules eclyptos, besides recovery doesn't come without root and recovery is one importent thing in an android phone. you should try it.

MMS Not Working SMS and Hangouts Are Fine

I am having a very weird issue. Running a rooted 5.1.1 (build LMY47Z) Nexus 6. I recently began encountering issues with sending MMS. SMS and Hangout messages work just fine. At first, some messages would not come through and I would have to download them. However, now, no messages come in and I cannot send any MMS group messages.
I have tried disabling the recent update, switching to the native messaging app, clearing the cache and data for the app, and reinstalling the updates, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

UPDATE
I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache. Getting this error now "Unkown Issue with Google Play Services"

More updates
I have resolved the Google Play Services Issue. Disabled it and then updated it.
Still has not fixed the MMS issue.
Someone please help

Another update
Ok, so now, after wiping once again, I am getting the message not receive "download" prompt, but they still aren't coming through.
I have no idea what to do here.

If you have an add blocker running turn it off, I have the same problem if mine is running.

If you can access and change APN settings, Google search the correct APN settings for your region. Perhaps that may help. Also, under settings>more>cellular networks>carrier settings, what options are available? I'm on Sprint so I'm not sure what options are there for AT&T.
Also, +1 for the comment above mine. Forgot about that one.

The only options under that tab you directed me to are the following: 1) data roamin; 2) preferred network type (set to LTE); and 3) access point names (currently set to ATT Nextgenphone).

Most likely, yes. White list your messengers or consider uninstalling.

Try a restart first, then if not, wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Stop G4 downloading update.zip

Greetings,
I have a H811 that is stock but rooted. Lots of LG & T-mobile bloat removed. I am getting a update.zip downloaded & wants to update to Marshmallow. I thought I removed the OTA apps but apparently not. How do I stop this from trying to download & update? Thanks.
Pat

From what I understand, Google Play is responsible for downloading update.zip. You can remove the OTA nag by disabling notifications for Google. Just long press the notification and disable notification and you will no longer get the nag. Then you can delete update.zip and replace it with a 0 KB file with the same name.

I'm sorry, I don't remember. I'm not on LL anymore. Disable them both. You'll have to reboot after you disable notifications. The nag won't come back. Let us know if it worked.

Right, that's expected behavior. Did you delete update.zip and replace it with a 0 KB file named update.zip?

Did it again last night. I don't know what app is causing this.

Was your 0 KB file overwritten? Did you get the OTA nag again? It shouldn't happen if Google notifications was disabled.

Yes my 0kb file was overwritten with the full update.zip. I did have notifications off. I never got a notification. I woke up with my phone rebooted into TWRP & my battery almost empty. I booted into system & there was the file.

I'm really sorry about that. I never checked to see if the dummy 0kb file was ever overwritten. The phone never booted into twrp either like that. If you ever find a solution, let us know!

Well, I found a article about going into the hidden menu & there is a setting there to disable OTA. I will not know for a week or so if it worked. I will update you when I think I know. Thanks for the help.

Just an update. The phone did it again last night after I disabled OTA updates in the hidden menu. It may be something I have to live with. I guess I could update to MM but I really do not want to. I see no good reason to.

Simply long press on the notification and disable it.

Notifications are already disabled for Google Play Services. The update.zip is downloading to my phone every few weeks & my phone reboots to TWRP.

Did you press and hold the notification? That's what did it for me.

I lost the battle. I just flashed MM myself & went to a custom ROM.

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

The last time we got an update I had to say remind me later multiple times...eventually I went to sleep just to wake up and find out my phone was updated without my permission.

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?

uncheck Developers Options - Autoupdate system.

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.

I have had this checked from the start and still get update notifications?

Question Google backup not working when screenlock is set for android13

Hi, I recently upgraded to OOS 13 stable version and I found the builtin backup to google does not work anymore if I enable the lockscreen password.
If I remove the lockscreen password, the backup could succeed.
I am wondering whether anyone has the same issue ?
BTW, I have magisk module installed and rooted.

How do you know it's not working?

Go to system -> google -> backup
Click backup now, it will prompt the lockscreen and starts to backup, then it will complain 'backup failed'.
Open your google driver and check your backup file, it will show size of zero.

Oh ok, that's odd. What size pin / password do you have?
If it's 4 then increase it to 6 and see if it helps..
Shouldn't but give it a whirl

Have you tried uninstalling/ installing Google play services?

You saved my day. I uninstalled the recent update for the google play service and the backup seems to work.
Not sure it will continue work if the google play service is updated again, will keep on posting the result.
