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.
Is there a way to stop the software update on a stock device?

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?

I did read somewhere yesterday about a device that lost this after an ota...not a vivid. Until its figured out the sideload wonder machine should work
If att took it out of their ota..running the ruu might give it back..maybe?
If its amazon apps..search google for where amazon stores apps temporarily for install, grab the apk, and sideload

Yeah, sideloading works but this is not an deal way to install third party apps for me. Anyway, I used the RUU to reinstall the rom. Now, the option appears under security.

Cool. Att is gonna catch hell..they already did this once before..

I am not having this problem. It is on mine which was done ota and I am not rooted, etc. Maybe something happened during the flash.
when upgrading occasionally the market will break. try reinstalling it after wiping your phone completely. then restore your apps via titanium backup. it worked for me when i had the problem of going across different roms.
yeah I've installed several Amazon apps, no issues.
Thank goodness I'm still on the leak, the OTA while awesome still has some kinks to work out.
I did the ATT update and the option is there. See screen shot attached.
Does anyone know if a HTC One that is not used on AT&T or T-Mobile will receive this update automatically?
Are we talking a sense 5 HTC One? Or a GE One? Please supply a little more information.

My bad. I thought I included that originally. I mean the Google Play edition that's already started with the rollout. I haven't seen anything on my phone yet and was curious if the carrier would have any impact on that.
There's a way of forcing your phone to look for the update. Sorry but I can't remember what it is but I've seen it before. It involves clearing the data and/or cache in settings for one of the Google apps and rebooting I think. Maybe do a search, or someone here will probably know.

EDIT: clear data for Google Services Framework in Settings -> Apps -> (All) and reboot then check for updates again..

I tried that with no luck.
Post my question here instead of creating a new thread. My phone is a rommed GE HTC One and I just got a notice saying there is a 4.3 update (188.xx mb) This did it by itself, im running a custom kernel (based on GE) that came with the rom, is it safe to update to 4.3?
It will fail

Do you know a way to make it work? Dont really want to find another rom GE with 4.3 and clear my phone again :|
Unless you do the full conversion to google edition, you can't get ota so just flash one of the 4.3 roms.

To anyone else reading this, don't try this. I cannot install apps from the play store right now.

I forced the update any device did the same thing; removing and adding my Google accounts did fix the issue too. However, I can no longer use tethering on my device – if you use tethering, does it work for you?

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

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.

I just waiting for a future Development when I will be able to use my SD to install Apps or move data into it.
I have a rooted stock ROM Pure and I want to avoid the 5.1 update for a couple of reasons.
Does anyone know how to disable the update process on these devices?
TIA

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.

Thanks again - that makes sense. I'll see the rollout on my stock Pure (if I still have it and decide not to sell it) and be able to compare in real-time if it does the trick.
Hey guys what's up is there a way I can make unable to deactivate and uninstall because I wanna do that on my locate device from google?
Cheers

Myself and other members would like to help however we need you to better state your question.
What do you want to deactivate?
What do you want to uninstall?
And for what reason?
Thanks!

Unless you trying to track, locate or wipe another smartphone/tablet/watch remotely from an Android device, there's no need to install it from the Play Store.
With newer versions of Android, 'Find My Device' is built into the operating system.
(Settings > Security & Location > Device Admin Apps)
To provide better security, it's assigned as a Device Administrator.
Meaning it can't be uninstalled.
And it's always running unless you deactivate it manually.
For someone else to deactivate it, they would need your security credentials (password, fingerprint or face).
