Hi,
My phone is rooted, decrypted and TWRP as a recovery, but still running the stock ROM. I'm looking to disable the notification telling me an OTA update is available. I'm guessing I can't easily upgrade the phone without loosing root or worse? The update isn't really that important to me at the moment. I would just like to disable the notification reminding me all the time. Seems there used to be an easy way of doing this on earlier Android versions, but not on Marshmallow? Or maybe Samsung makes this harder?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Anyone? Would love to be able to dismiss the notification without upgrading.

Why dont you try to freeze the notification with titanium .
I am not sure but try freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent
Try also com.samsung.firmware.nfc com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
I am not rooted but disabled them with package disabler
I think if you freeze them all updating menu doesnt work at all
Thanks, I'll give it a shot soon. I'm waiting for my Micro-SD-card to arrive. Right now, my phone is too full to take a Nandroid-backup. I'd like to take a backup before I freeze the ones you mentioned, just in case.

Freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent did the trick. Well, most of the trick at least. It removed the notification from the pull-down menu, and hence the lockscreen. It didn't remove it from the settings menu. Tried freezing the other three packages as well, but it didn't seem to change anything else. At least not visual. Removing the notification in the settings menu as well would be great, but at least I got rid of the most annoying one.
So again, thanks!
If anyone know of a way to remove the notification in settings (the white large notification "billboard" at the top :laugh: ), let me know..

No, I'm thinking of the white large "Software Update" notification in the settings menu. Look at the attached image.

I dont have that
why dont you try to go to notifications advanced more and show system apps. Maybe you can disable the notification from there. "System" is present there.
I was having the same issue with ota notification. My sprint S7 is not rooted (obviously, lol) so I disabled com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent as you suggested with Package Disabler Pro and it got rid of the notification. Actually, when I disabled com.wssyncmldm the notification went away instantly so not sure if com.sec.android.soagent was necessary but I left it disabled as well.
Thanks!

Doesn't seem to work either. Thanks though.
I have the same issue.
Same here
Same issue here. I really don't want the 7.0 upgrade as I just downgraded back to 6.0.1. I don't want to root my phone. But is there an easy way to turn off this notification that is in 2 spots right now?

Sorry about the late reply. If you read earlier in the thread, I used Package Disabler Pro (if I remember correctly). I.e post #9.
Got the package disabler pro app. Best $1.49 i've spent on play store no more nagging.
Hey guys,
I accidentally started downloading the 7.0 update and quickly stopped it, and have that annoying pop-up as well. I have the China variant of the s7, g9300, and I don't see com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent in the package disabler pro app. So, I'm a bit confused. Anyone have any ideas?!

Did PDP recently revert back to allowing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent to be disabled? My information is the PDP developers made some sort of deal with Samsung to eliminate control of those packages by PDP. And that explanation seems consistent with many folks claiming that the new versions of PDP no longer work to remove the update nags. I know that my PDP installation became ineffective against the many update nags I was encountering each day. It was so frustrating that I uninstalled PDP and replaced it with Note 7 Alliance's Shield package disabler, which worked. But I'm just wondering if PDP works again now as well?

Flash a different modem
Why would that help? It's not related to the problem. Either way, I've flashed a custom ROM. The problem is gone for me.
Thanks, though.

Sorry for the late response. It seems this may be the case. In fact, if you search the play store PDP does not even show up anymore. Just the "engine" which is not the fully functional app. What's even more strange is PDP does not show up in google play purchase history which seems to happen if they remove the app.

I just bought the mentioned phone and I'm experiencing some weird problems on it. For example, I disabled most of the google apps by going to the App menu > Edit and disabled them by pressing the "minus" on the icon. Now if I want to re-enable them in Settings > Applications by going to the Disabled Apps section, pressing Enable and it gives me the option to DISABLE it again? WTF? Seems like I can't enable any app I disabled now..
The second thing is, it's more of a question really.. If I long press the home button, it only makes a short vibration and does nothing at all, is that normal or should something pop-up?
I mean really!? Ok, when you've pressed the enable toogle and the toggle becomes "disable" it means the app is already enabled and it gives you the option to disable it again.
Long press of the home button brings you to google now app, you must have disabled it.

I don't understand the bold text I quoted from you.. What do you mean? I clearly stated that I've disabled an app, and if I press to enable it, it offers me to disable it.. which is, already disabled?!?!?
Sorry for the misunderstanding but I don't get it how could I disable a already disabled app?!?

I mean when the button has the word "disable" on it. It means it's already running and app is ready for use.. Vice versa, if it has the word "enable" on the button.

I have DISABLED an app, therefore the app is DISABLED. If I want to enable it, the button there clearly says "Enable" but when I try to do that, I get a pop up as I was trying to disable it, which it already is.. Why don't you get it? xD

Ohh I get it now, if you've disabled it and the app is already updated, and you're trying to enable it again. Just click the pop up to disable it again, it just wants you to uninstall the updates and it reverts back to the apps factory version, and press the enable toggle again, the app will be enabled. You just have to reupdate the app again. In the touchwiz home you can directly disable an app but in the applications manager when you try to disable apps you have to uninstall the updates. Since disabling through the home launcher is just a shortcut.
Just touchwiz things.

It's normal, if you're not rooted. It's not really a bug, it's just a feature of touchwiz. My stock S5 and S4 has this, too.

Oh okay then.. I thought I got some faulty phone Any news on when is the ram management fix coming? Seems like my ram is staying at 80-90% at all times.. even when I'm not running any apps..
Also, do you recommend disabling the apps you don't use? For example I have disabled most of the google apps on there, since I'm not prone to use them..
I recently rooted my H950-11z, but I'm unsure of which app to freeze in Titanium Backup so that the OTA updates will be disabled. I've searched the forums and only found "disable OTA" but no mention of how.
Google search came up with some other ideas like the LG secret menu and disabling Google Services Framework but I'd like a definitive answer.
Thanks

No.
Can anybody share how to disable OTA updates after rooting?
I have h955euro version . i have disabled ota.
Try freezing update center 4.40.112
I also froze software update 2.3.3.1
And app updates 4.40.112
If you have the same apps freeze them but you take the risk lol
Just go to settings/apps/ downloaded/google play services and disable notifications. It doesn't prevent the OTA to be downloaded, but you get rid of ota showing up on notification bar.
If you have the OTA notification in your notification drawer(pull down menu) you can simply touch that notification and hold down your finger for a second or two and it will allow you to disable the notifications by clicking the setting button that appears right there. Its the easiest way.
Screenshot attached so you can see what it looks like when you hold down your finger on the OTA notification.
I wasn't happy with Nougat and decided to go back to Marshmallow, now I am on MM and everytime I turn on wifi the Nougat update starts downloading. Restarting phone didn't help.
There is no option either to stop it.
Isn't there an option in Developer settings?

No, not there either. Is there any way without rooting the device?
Anyone figure this out?! Can't get notification to go away. Ugh. Please help!

The only way I have been able to disable the update is to download the "BK Disabler App" along with "BK Plugin". It will allow you to disable the update as well as take away the notification at the top. The only thing that will show is there will be a Software update dialog box at the top of your settings menu when you go into settings. Otherwise you will never be notified of it again and wont have to worry about it downloading or updating when you set your phone down.
You will need to go to the top right corner of the app and search for "update" and check these 3 items:
com.sec.android.soagent
com.wssyncmldm
com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
Good Morning all:
I keep getting a notice that states "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked or not installed" every time I go back to the home screen or when I depress the home button from the lockscreen. Another issue I have noticed is for my Microsoft OneDrive in my Playstore list. It said to Uninstall or Enable. I uninstalled it and now it only shows "Enable". I press "Enable" but it won't do anything. I went to the "Settings" then "Apps" and I changed the view to "Disabled" and nothing shows.
Any ideas on what I have done wrong.
Thanks for all your help.
Been using any Package disabler apps? Package Disabler Pro ?
Sounds like you've disabled something you shouldn't

What's the fix
After same problem (with diff app) with my S9, I FINALLY figured out what happened/how to fix. I had downloaded disabler AND an xml file that disabled bloatware/"unnecessary" system stuff listed therein. Turns out that the xml contained stuff that matters if you use smartwatch, some NFC, etc. Only I'd set disabler to *hide system files*, which was where I ultimately found/enabled solution. I ain't mad at the disabler (killed off those damned text stickers), just a humbler and wiser user. Good luck.
okay so I had disabled the cricket wifimanager and that cause my home button to be disabled
I have a Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T) NOT rooted, and I recently received the Oreo update OTA but HAVE NOT installed Oreo. I don't want this update (mostly because reports indicate that Oreo on the S7 is buggy, drains battery, may possibly brick my phone, and it needlessly changes things). So... I want to know how to remove the persistent notification that is currently on my lock screen, my status bar, and the System icon. I just want my phone to be the way it was before this buggy software was pushed to me against my wishes (even tho I ABSOLUTELY set the phone to MANUAL updates).. How do I remove the persistent notification?
Addendum... I tried Package Disabler Pro +, and it doesn't work on my phone. When I e-mailed the developer, I received the cryptic reply... "Samsung keeps blacklisting package disabler apps on Samsung Android. So Package Disabler Pro + is now available." Which is a nonsensical reply since Package Disabler Pro + is the software I installed and which wouldn't work.
To recap... My phone is still on Nougat! I want it that way. How do I remove the persistent notifications re Oreo?
Thanks in advance for your advice and thoughts.

And now the issue is moot since my phone updated itself in spite of my efforts. And I have a set of new issues with system slowdown and battery drain.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try your solution. My phone updated itself when I inadvertently didn’t put it to sleep properly, the install screen popped up unexpectedly (apparently in my pocket), and somewhere in the jostling the install button was pressed. This shouldn’t happen. If I buy a red car, the dealer or manufacturer shouldn’t be able to turn it blue a year later without my consent. I shouldn’t be required to press a button every time I start the car to keep the car red. Ditto my phone. It’s simply wrong,
In any case, I now have Oreo, and am immediately experiencing all the problems that I was trying to avoid. The phone is about 10 percent slower, and it eats power about 15 percent faster than before. Additionally, all the Google icons now have ugly white borders. My QuickPic app has pink/magenta headings that I can’t change. And there are more problems that I won’t mention. This is a performance downgrade inflicted upon me from an outside corporation. It shouldn’t be legally allowed on a DEVICE I OWN!
