Can you disable OTA Updates? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I wanted to know if there is a way to disable OTA updates from appearing?
My work phones need to stay on 5.0 until 6.0 works with our call recording app.
The users that use the phones are clicking on upgrade and I want to stop this from happening.
On our old Epic 4G Touch phones, we used an app called FOTAKill.apk
This stopped the updates from occurring.
Do we have anything similar on the Galaxy S5?
Let me know. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Uncheck that.

or just install a custom recovery. A custom recovery by itself wont stop the notifs, but itll make it to where they wont be able to be installed

[Q] Macnut R14 final problems

So I have been using Macnut R14 on my Samsung Vibrant since January of this year with no problems, until a week ago. My phone no longer rings or shows that I have incoming calls, the home button doesn't work and some of the options are missing when I long press the powr button. I have tried doing a master reset then reinstalling the update.zip file but nothing seems to work and unortunately am not the smartest person when it comes to flashing roms on my phone. Can someone please help me resolve this issue or help me uninstall Macnut R14, unroot my Vibrant and start all over again?

[Q] Questions about my Korean Version Nexus S

OKay,
I purchased a Korean Version Nexus S and it came with ICS.
When I turn on the phone it has the Google name and a unlocked lock.
(On EDGE to save battery power)

Since I did buy this second hand, I'm afraid to access banking or other financial materials on the phone... I'm wondering would it be best for security reasons to reinstall ICS myself or leave it be because what I have right now is safe to use?
Should I just install the stock GB and wait for the ICS OTA update that is suppose to be coming soon?
Would my Korean Nexus S get the OTA update over here in the US (T-Mobile)?

Botched marshmallow update, I think?

Hi all, last night my Nexus 5 notified me of the marshmallow update, I happily accepted and left it to its thing. When I returned it seemed to have done the trick, but now I have no notifications when I pull down, nor quick settings? I can here apps notifying me, such as Gmail, Facebook etc and the LED light flashes. Also I have no cog as mentioned in update reviews to get to system ui.
I've tried rebooting with no success.
Has anyone seen this before? Has anyone got an idea how to fix?

What will happen after the beta program closes (18jan)?

Hey guys,
Does anyone knows what will happen after the beta program ends on January 18?
The notices say:
"9. What happens if Galaxy Beta Program terms end?
You will receive the message about the official software update after Galaxy Beta Program ends. You need to install the official software in order to use Samsung Electronics service."
Does that mean we'll go straight to 6.0 official or will they put us back on 5.1.1?
I've got the answer!

I haven't got it but it's probably the s cloud update
Have you installed it already? What 'new features' does it bring then? I'm using custom ROM so idk what it is
Edit: noticed this new firmware on sammobile.com
who changed this update?
I haven't installed it yet, but I will later today if nobody else does.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'd be envious if it will bring you the New Grace UI. LOL!
