Disable lollipop software update - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tablet auto downloaded the update and now I'm stuck with the nag to install it, is there a way to block the notification for the update without root?

If it works the same way as on the S5, then no.
Have you tried longpressing the notification > app info? And then hitting Disable?

I long pressed the notification, force stopped, cleared data and cache. No more notification shown but we will see if or how long until it comes back. Thank you.

On my Tab4 I can not click on any of the buttons to stop it - they are all grayed out. How can I make the buttons active?

OMG I went crazy with that notification till I found an app called package disabler. It costs 2 or 4 bucks but it's amazing. U can disable anything without root, including the Ota and notification nonsence. It's worth the money

[Q] Lollipop AppSwitcher -> App Info

Hello,
In Lollipop I would like to get the feature back where in ICS I would go into recent Apps and long press on an app and a dialog opened offering App Info and stuff.
Is it possible to get it back?
ps. I prefer running stock rooted android, but have no problems with patches
I miss that feature too. I was always used that for uninstalling recent installed apps.
More quicker IMO.

I'm running stock 5.0. Go to recents, long press the app ICON for about 3 seconds.

Thanks!
That's TERRIBLY inconvenient and TERRIBLY non-obvious.
I see exactly zero reasons why App's info cannot be shown just by long pressing the entire preview.

Wait, it didn't work for me. Using N5X 5.3. What I do is click recent apps and click on most below app icon for 3 seconds.
You have to hold the app icon and then it opens

Now it works. I'm just enabled Developer Options under Settings. I'm not sure why...

My mobiledata is gone form Quick toggle

My mobiledata went missing in the notification meny.. IV tried restarting the phone but nothing :/ and its not there even if I try to Edit..how the hell am I getting it back? All stock.. NO root or nothing. . Attach pic
I have the same problem, happened on my s6 edge about 3 hours ago and don't know what to do.
Me too. Plague?
Solution: Add Mobile Data toggle by adding EXACTLY (minus the ") "MobileData;" to sqlite editdor.. Settings Storage-->SettingsDB-->search "notification" and add "MobileData;" to the two quick toggle fields
Require an SQLite Editing app such as this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ware.sqleditor

There's an updated app. Some of the other toggles have been fixed as well. However, an official solution is being worked on by Samsung, as they have ackowledged the issue - http://bit.ly/s6-data-toggle
Didn't work on my Sprint branded S6. Just says it's already applied. No mobile data toggle at all.

Samsung has released a fix, you need to go download the "QuickPanel Restore" app in the Samsung App store.
Pull down screen click the new edit button move around click done

[Q] Galaxy s7 nougat-turn off 'popup' 'heads up' but without ADB?

Hey guys,
Sry if it is double post but i cannot find the same question.
So is there an option to turn off popup or heads up notifications or whatever they are called in 7.0 nougat but without that ADB procedure which is in my opinion only partial fix (it turns it off for all apps) and also it is funny that i even have to do that on a new update when it worked on the 6.01 on a flagship expensive phone...cmon samsung...
Thanks in advance

Gear S Plugin Notification

I have a Gear S3 connected to my Note 8. I can't stand the ongoing notification for the Gear S Plugin. Is there any way to get this to go away? When I had the Nexus 6, I could block this notification.
If you push and hold on the notification, it should give you an option to turn it off.

Nope. That worked on my Nexus 6, but not on the Note 8. The only options I have are Silence Notifications or Don't Silence or Block.

I've tried both, and either way the notification stays. The choices are "Silent" or "Don't Silent or Block"

Tell me I am stupid, but I do not understand the problem.
I have a note 8 and gear s3.
What is exactly bothering you? You mean the text in the pull down notification screen? Where you can select o.a. "find my gear?"
Or switch the connection off?
Or the gear plugin message when reconnecting the gear S3?

The ongoing notification from the Gear S Plugin that says "Connected to Gear S3 via Bluetooth". The notification image that is shown always too.
I like it as clean as possible.

I understand.
I also had this "samsung connect" thingy above it. And that one can be switched off in the settings.
When I switch samsung connect off off also my Gear s3 notification image disappears.
But when disconnected/connected I always get this plugin message. E.g when I switch my phone bluetooth off and on.

This problem also exists on a gear S2 connected to a note 8. I didn't have the problem with my note 5.
Disable the plugging
Go to the Samsung connect app and under your choices you will see dashboard. Turn the watch off. It will still connect through Bluetooth. Just won't be with the Samsung connect dashboard junk. It will remove the icon plugging data as well as the Samsung connect will drop off as it's not an active connection in it. Was my only fix. Just do not delete the Samsung gear app.

This worked for me.
Also annoys the heck out of me.
I tried the method at the bottom of the first page and I thought it works but it did not the notification returns. It's an utterly worthless notification because it's not notifying you of anything you don't already know and have known for as long as you have owned the watch.
I cant get rid of the notification either,
I sometimes leave the watch downstairs, right on the edge of bluetooth connectivity. So I get allot of connection and disconnected vibrations that I want to block
I've tried changing settings on the notification but it does nothing
Use app AutoNotification to block Gear S Plugin notifications. No root needed.

Thanks for the suggestion however it didn't work on my Note 8 / Gear S2. The notifications were gone yes but so was my watches ability to unlock my phone and any notifications on my watch.

This is really stupid.
Had the same issue with Note 8 / Gear S2
Maybe the new Smart Things (replaces Smart Connect) app will fix it
I downgraded from 3.0.0.1 to 2.3.2.3 and I forgot to turn off the auto download for the update. I switched it off half way, but it stubbornly kept downloading.
Now I have the udate software notification screen constantly nagging me as well.
I'm thinking maybe the only way to get rid of it is to
1) Reflash the watch again (Don't want the hassle of doing that again if avoidable)
2) Somehow deleting the update files on the phone / or watch or wherever it is.
Anyone have any idea about option 2?

I have only GT-I9300... few hundred years old... and it is rooted.
So I can do what ever I want... Copy update.zip... or delete it...
With Root Explorer for instance... require ROOT access...
Welcome in the world of Samsung... Tizen world.
Where all things are forbidden, not allowed, not working, not available or buggy...

I solved it!
Get the free app AutoNotification and set it up to block this lame notification. Wait until it shows up and then use the app to setup a block and pick the annoying notification and.. bye bye!

Split screen view option missing from menu

Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

Thanks, but as you can see from the picture I posted, I know how to do it. The problem is the split screen option is not available.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.
Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
