Well I did.. But those two apps (Google play books and google play movies) won't STAY disabled! Every morning when I wake up they have either already updated, or are complaining they need to update, and when I go to manage apps, they are no longer disabled! 5th time now. Options?
Finally there's someone else with this problem!
I sent an email to HTC about it telling them it must be a problem with this latest 2.20 update since I didn't have the problem before.

i googled around and found to disable some other google thing.. what was it. google partner app or something (for me it was the app right above these two offenders) will report back if this fixes it
Offenders lmao! I love it!

I also recommend just deleting the apk files for these two apps from /system/app, or /data/app. Also, delete the odex file if it exists too. They shouldn't cause you any problems after they're dead

Those of us that cannot/do not want to root are unable to do that. We didn't have the problem disabling those till the 2.20 firmware update.

To remove the notification go to settings/application manager/all/scroll down to software update and disable it.
yeah i found the process in titanium backup and permently disabled it, i am trying to find out where the update has been installed so i can remove that too.

If you have ES File explorer and have all the root permissions checked for the app,I think you could do a search for it if you know what it was called?Or maybe an advanced search in ESF by date?

How do you know it even downloaded? If it downloaded I think it would apply the update immediately.Check in your about settings maybe it is already running the update.OTA updates won't delete your settings or apps or anything like that.

no, it never installed only downloaded because it prompt me to install the update then gave me a option to remind later and then stayed in my notification bar.
Hopefully someone will be able to figure it out. Afraid I'm out of suggestions.

So I have a rooted GS3 running stock 4.1.2 and I flashed one of those inverted Google play store apps using twrp. Then when I rebooted my device for another reason and went into the play store, it said no connection even though my WiFi and 4g are both fine. I uninstalled all updates to the app, but then the play store would crash even when running in the background. So I found the latest version of the play store I could online, which was 4.0.2.5 which isn't the most recent. But now I still have the same no connection problem. Any solutions? I've also tried clearing data and cache from the app

This happened to me to me once, I fixed it by restoring a backup. I couldn't really figure out what was causing it. I know I messed it up by clearing data on system framework. But I have no idea how that messed it up.
You could just flash a custom rom and that will fix the issue. The problem is that the playstore is being updated constantly. Any Inverted playstore I have running ends up getting automatically updated to the most recent release anyways, so I just kind of gave up theming it. You probably installed an old version of playstore. The playstore must have some automatic connection protocol that enables it to automatically update without permission, and an old playstore might not allow that connection.
You might just be able to completely delete the playstore from your phone to install a recent one, but I have no idea if that would work. Someone has to know how to fix this without a restore or flashing a new rom.

That will work for sure, just have to find a custom rom you like. Your play store won't restore even if it's backed up through titanium. It's a good idea to have titanium anyway.
Never restore system data, only restore user apps + data. That's known to cause problems after a restore.

Are you new to flashing roms? Just make sure you do all the proper steps first.
Nandroid and unlock bootloader first.
factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, format system, then flash rom.
Follow the instructions on the roms page and you're good to go.

I'm realizing this is a problem with all the google apps, so what would happen if I just flashed a gapps zip file for 4.1.2 via TWRP? would that work since this seems to be a problem within all the apps by google? im running the latest ota, the MD3 build.

That is very strange, give it a shot, flashing a gapps package might work. I do think it's a problem with the Google apps though, so your play store is working right? I think all you need now is let the play store auto update. Maybe there's a way to force it. That should allow the rest of your apps to work.

so if anybody having this problem again
i get mine fixed by doing this :
1. Open any file explorer that have root access
2. Search for a folder named "system" and then look for a folder that says "etc"
3. Inside "etc" folder search for a file that says "host" . edit that text using any text editor
4. Delete everything in the host file
5. Save
I ended up fixing it by flashing another rom, using titanium backup to copy the play store. and then reflashed back to the original rom I was using and then restored with copy of the play store i previously had.

Hello guys
So Im running on latest CM11 Snapshot but even with re-installed gapps I still cant login to my google account.
Gapps were working ok about 2 weeks ago until Play Store started force closing so I tried clearing caches and re-installing gapps but I ended up with this problem
Looks like its not even trying to connect to google servers because it immediately pops up a screen saying that I cant establish a connection to google servers when I press login.
Im connected to my home wifi.
Im trying to attempt this fix but I cant find any root text editor that would open the hosts without getting stuck or refusing to save the file. Im still properly rooted...
Any suggestions guys?

Edit the file with whatever but do NOT save back to /system/etc. Save to sdcard, *then* use root explorer to transfer & overwrite.

I'm in the same boat... running CM11 M6. I got an error notification for the 4.4.3 update last night stating that it couldn't download (I'm assuming because of running CM). Today at lunch I was having problems with LTE connectivity so I rebooted and it worked then. Found out a few hours later that after I rebooted my phone used over 500MB of data even though I wasn't using it and my battery drained down quite a bit as well.
My cell provider shows I've used that much data but my phone doesn't. My guess is that it's trying to constantly download the update? Yet I can't find any way to turn this off.
Thanks for any help you guys can give!

Whatever file explorer you are using you may have to allow it to see "hidden files" or grant root access or possibly both.
I'm having the same issue as well, except I didn't download the update. I've tried renaming the cert to .bak, rebooted, and no go. Then I took the whole damn cert file and moved it to my downloads folder, cleared Google system framework data, and rebooted. It's been about 5 minutes with no pop up, but I'm not holding my breath.
I've also heard that changing a line in your build.prop tricks the updater into thinking you already have 4.4.3, but I don't what what it is that needs to be changed...

I don't even see these folders.
I have hidden files enabled in Solid Explorer :/
I've tried everything posted here, rebooted around 5 times, but it's still showing up.
Are you guys sure that otacerts.zip is responsible for the upfate message?
I even tried moving it into my download folder (after the .bak method doesn't worked), but I still have the notification...
Which is the system app, that searches for updates? I thought it's com.lge.update, but it seems that it's not.
We should try to freeze / uninstall that with Titanium. :/
You can also use ongoing system notification blocker to get rid of the update constantly being shown.
Thanks guys I got it. After renaming the above mentioned folder I cleared Google framework and the notification is gone.

I'm not sure why anyone has stated this and I realize that the problem has already been solved, but this can easily be fixed using Developer Options in CM11
1) Go to settings> about phone
2) Scroll all the way down to build number and repeatedly tap it until it says something along the lines of "You are now a developer"
3) Go back to settings then go to developer options
4) A little less than halfway down is an option called 'Development shortcut'. Tick that box
Now, you can get rid of any pesky notification that can't be swiped away. Simply tap and hold it, then select 'Force close'. This works with any apps running in the background by doing the same thing from the app switcher. Hope this helps!
