I cannot delete this file through file explorer. I also have not found any solutions by seaching google for hours. I do not want to factory restore my phone but seeming like the only option

how do I get rid of update icon?

Maybe I'm an idiot....but I can't figure it out. I'm rooted and on stock recovery .tar. I have now,postponed the ucla3 update twice, but how do I get rid of it all together without installing? It downloaded automatically, I just don't want to install.

You would need to freeze device management and clear the update
After some searching, I found the info about freezing....the part I don't get is how to clear the update. Do I delete the files? How do I figure out which to delete? Sorry....I'm a newb and scared to delete anything without having difinitive info.

I would first try freezing device management with Titanium Backup. Reboot, and see if the update icon is still there. If it is, then I personally dont know where to clear that out without going into the file system.

I used Titanium Backup and just uninstalled the Device Management app. I have no problems so far or issues. Is this app. just used for The service provider to Update?

I try to add ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 in build.prop but it's nothing changes, it just works in sgs2..
and another method use fast dormancy toggle in playstore, but can't use it for compatibility issue..
maybe some dev's here want to help for it,,because all of system now is stable,just this issue is very frustating me..and another people too cause of battery drainer..

I tried the app but it says that "your device is not supported".
I may try later to reproduce the tutorial, but it is quite long and evolved and it may be very device specific. So I am not sure I can follow it successfully.
This is a major bug in my point of view. We should be loud about it so that Sony step in and try to fix it.
---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------
A suggestion:
If you want to check whether your device has this bug try "Wakelock Detector" from Play Store (its a free app). After installing the app go into settings and select "Advanced mode". If you device is affected it should show "Device (or something like this, my app is in Portuguese so I am tying to translate back into English)" in th top spots (in my case it is in the top by a large margin). Clicking in this entries to show the details you'll see that "Data dormancy" is the major reason.
Also note that your device should stay most of the time Awake instead of being in Deep Sleep mode.
Finally, this problem only affects devices if you operator network does not support data dormancy. This seems case of the Vivo network in Barzil, at least where I live. If your operator supports data dormancy it is then a good thing, as it helps to save battery.

There is a long tutorial there on how to manually modify the fast dormancy parameters. But you will need to unlock your bootloader first because you need to write to /system. Mine is not unlocked yet, I still creating courage to do it. I'll probably do it to better investigate this bug.

Yes, I meant something along those lines, I believe that that post is the origin of the idea described in the Samsung section.
By doing some more research I came across to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40606899&postcount=38 that suggest to use
ro.semc.enable.fast_dormancy=false
in build.prop. It is for Xperia T, but at least it is a Sony device.
Can you try as your bootloader is already unlocked?

Weird. It did work for me. I changed the configuration using Build Prop Editor , rebooted and it is working right now. No "Data Dormancy" wakes anymore. Try using this app. Note that it did work even in a locked bootloader (I haven't unlocked mine).
Obs: I tried before from the command line using setprop and it didn't work, so success may depend on how you try to edit the option.

Great you solved the issue.
It feels great to have the phone eating only 1.5-2% of the battery an hour after this change (from 6% before).
Thank your for the tutorial too. I will help other people.

Didn't worked for me also. After restart there is data dormancy wakeup again.
Xperia M2, 4.3 rooted.
I don't know if i missed something, installed build prop editor, make the changes and restarted.
The thread asks for busybox installed, i don't have busybox and i don't know if its important.
EDIT: After installed busybox, the above stayed on reboot ok.
Because fast dormancy wakelock apperared after ~12 hours after a reboot, i will wait some hours to check if it appeares again. Thank you.

An app won't work because the logcat is cleared as soon as the device reboots.
But there is another why. Check out this link below and see if this may help you.

Glad you fixed the random reboots. It always seems to be a defective app, unless it's hardware. That's cool you want to create your own roms. Maybe you can create roms for those with older phones too. XDA forums is a great place to learn all about roms, flashing, and what tools to use if your getting into rom development. Best of luck in your quest.

GPS Not Working

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the SK4G or knows about any solutions. My GPS has been unable to get a fix since before I even rooted. I hoped rooting and installing a custom ROM would fix this but so far that is a no.

Thank you for the help. I ran the fix permissions and rebooted and I am running a nexus rom, nexus jb 1.3.2 to be exact. Sorry, I didn't understand the instructions concerning the flash "error" as I am very new to it all. The gps did stop working even before I was rooted, I wonder if maybe this is a hardware issue.

No worries about responding right away, this isn't a huge issue just something I'd like to fix if possible. It is my only phone but I don't need GPS daily so no rush.
If you mean turn GPS off/on in settings I have done that several times. Most recently I turned it on and rebooted but still no GPS fix. Time is getting close to needing a new device lol...

Screenshot Issues?

Does this happen to anyone else? When you try to take a screenshot you get an error message that says: "Unable to capture screenshot. Prevented by security policy."
Screenshot works on my fathers phone (which isnt rooted) but it doesnt work on mine (which is rooted)
Could it be because im rooted?

It has nothing to do with being rooted.
You must have either disabled, froze or uninstalled "FaceProvider" in settings>applications>all
This will only happen if it's frozen, either uninstall it, or enable it.
Good luck!
Have a great day!

I had the same issue with screenshots in the past.
And enabling that app fixed my screenshot issue.
Try this, delete faceprovidor's data and cache and reboot the phone.
Then try screenshots again.
I am certain that there are other apps which require faceprovidor to work properly besides screenshots.
