I have no desire to update my ICS tablet to JB yet keep receiving a nag screen asking me to update every 3 hours. Is there a way to stop this?
solution...
I too faced the same problem few days back.One solution is to freeze the "software update" system app using Link2SD or Titanium Backup.Second is to go to settings-->about device-->software update --> uncheck box and third rename etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak and clear the cache to delete already downloaded OTA file (it will be around 379 MB )
PS: I upgraded to JB using Kies finally to see how JB was

I am unlocked, rooted and on JB stock. I updated to JB after having been on .30. I began seeing this after the .30 update.
"Android is updating" message when booting up and it will not go away. It happens every time I restart. I continue on into the unlock screen just fine. What can I do about this? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
You can either
1) Go through your system apps and uninstall updates to any of them one at a time, and then reboot and take a new update from the Play store - one of them is probably the cause, or
2) Perform a factory reset.
I'm betting that one of those updates installed is actually an ICS related update and the system thinks it has to update the app every time it boots b/c of that update being on your tablet. Same kind of thing happened to me on one of the ICS leaks for the BIONIC.

I'm on a rooted HTC One X and I just started getting OTA notifications and I kept on postponing them, but today it said that I could no longer postpone it and it will be installed in 8 hours.
I saw this thread..but I wasn't sure it would work on my HTC ONE X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856632
Thanks
Just flash a stock rooted Rom but if you don't want to there's a couple applications you can freeze and it will go away

What applications? I tried somthing called AutoRun manager and I tried to disable it but that just made it prompt a notification.
There's some system function you can freeze/remove to stop it. Let me see if I can find it.
Edit: Try this:

It's a little late for this probably but for future reference if you are rooted and want to stop receiving OTA updates remove/rename/delete HtcOMADM_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik. If you want to remove "AT&T software update" from the "Settings" then remove HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik.

My phone somehow downloaded the JB 4.1.2 update and it continually asks if I want to install it. I do NOT want the update. How can I get rid of the downloaded file. I don't want to accidentally allow it to install it.

If you happen to be rooted then maybe you can try freezing down some of the moto apps, just one of them at a time and rebooting, and you might find something along those lines. Perhaps its just one app that checks for the update.

If you have titanium freeze app titled Updater 4.1.1-41
Now I was under impression that phones where bootloader is unlocked and are rooted AND have different kernel (in my case Phantom kernel) do not receive OTA updates nor do they receive updates on Sony PC Companion.
To my surprise I have that annoying icon for OTA for latest firmware and update shows also on PC Companion as well ! Anomaly or did Sony eased up on their restrictions ?
Anybody else experienced this ?
BTW if there are more that are annoyed by that update icon solution is to go to settings->apps->all apps pick update center and clear it's cache.

Ota is showing because you have phantom kernel.I have ota icon too on 1.14 fw.Your solution doesnt work for me, when you clear the app and run next time update center or restart the phone ota will show again.

Ok thanks for clarification.
Regarding OTA icon sure and confirmed way of getting rid of it is using titanium and freezing update centre.

I know, have done that few days back, but freezing apps on titanium works only when you paid for the full version
Use Link2SD and freeze that....its free
Sent from my C2104 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed the latest firmware with ODIN (N915TUVS2DPG2_N915TTMB2DPG2_TMB.zip). Rooted and working well. Began getting a firmware update message to install the same firmware. Asked to install now or later. Actually tried to install it and it just failed and went back to normal. A couple days later it would pop up again.
Using titanium, I froze the following:
Security policy updates 4.1.46
Software update 1.5.04
Software update 3.1.12
I then wiped my cache only in TWRP. I no longer get the firmware download message, however I get one minor notification that shows up when I go to the phones "settings". Notification says "Software updates. Tap here to update the firmware to the latest version and use the latest features." If you tap it, it does nothing. I can close it but it will show up again. It also shows up under "About" in the device settings. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything so far. Just a minor annoyance. Not clear why it is happening at all.
I am on the T-mobile version of firmware. Anyone else experiencing this? Thank you.

Could be because Samsung likes rat ware.
The security could be getting used to aid in O/S updates.
Given that you've frozen them and they could be tied together .............

I am also experiencing this. Have you found a solution? I know it's an old thread, but it's very annoying. TIA

I have noticed that things "frozen" by Ti backup still can have an effect.
Example I run Nova Launcher and lock down Samsung's launcher.
I then start having weird problems including restarts.
Since I'm rooted, I back up the system and remove the Samsung launcher.
Much better.
