Trying to turn off OTA update notifications - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I've been trying to find the app/service to freeze to turn off OTA update notifications. I have the g930f and it doesn't seem to have an item in the applications list for the OTA update service. I've done a lot of googling for this and haven't found anything to guide me on what to freeze so I don't see the "there's an update you should download it....there's an update will you download it now...click here to download the update" nagging.
Does anyone know the name of the app/service to freeze via Titanium Backup? Many thanks if you can identify this for me.

I cleared the dalvik and regular cache. The nag is still there. There has to be some system app that handles checking for updates, but where can it be??

There isnt other app to freeze .you normally should have freezed the apps before the nag to appear.
I think the nag is now stucked there lol
I am not in stock rom now to test again but i am sure 100% that if you freeze those apps the update menu doesnt work.

Delete the data of Software-Update 1.5.16 and 3.1.12, start once the settings so the notification disappears and then freeze both system apps. Worked for me.

How do I fix the com.wssyncmldm error post-kd1 update?

KD1 installed but I had to reroot the phone and re-mount my link2sd partition.
Now I get CONSTANT "The application Device management (process com.wssyncmldm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
PS. T-Mobile did NOT ASK if I wanted the update. It just installed. Last night I looked at the phone and it said T-Mobile update downloading. Today repeated error message. Nice.

flash KD1 with ODIN, i do not know enough to dig into it. that would be the easiest method to me.
Had this same problem since morning. Try go to titanium backup and freeze Device Management. Work for me so far.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Same Issue...What I have done so far
I was getting the constant force close mentioned above. I read on some forum that I should go into recovery and wipe cache. I did and then rebooted. I did get one force close message, but have not had one since. If i continue I will go into titanium and freeze that app.
Update...I had to go into titanium backup and freeze the device management app. This solved the problem.
Little plug for Titanium Backup. Fantastic app for root users.
you had to reroot it? that's a bummer so it's pretty much like having the update occur normally except this ones deodexed.
quick question, so you absolutely have to use odin with it? it won't work right with heimdall?
Mine was downloading the update..never installed or asked to..it was downloading and then just stopped... Now I get the force close and it hasn't updated either...
Would my phone being rooted prevent the install from going through properly? I don't want the update to NOT go through... But I also don't know why I get the device management force close all the time for no reason ...any ideas appreciated?
also haven't really had time to be on the site or do any mods in quite some time so I apogize if I'm not up to date on something but this was the only thread found regarding the device management force close

HTC Inspire stuck in update loop

This is a noobish question. We have a htc inspire 4G that's been stuck in a loop trying to update Adobe flash 10.3 and is using up data like crazy. There seems to be no way to stop it. Any suggestions?
Have you tried uninstalling it then reinstalling 10.2?

So you're saying that in market, you see that striped green progress bar indicating it's downloading/updating and it never seems to start doing anything/ finish?
If that's the case, I've solved that one by unchecking "update automatically," cancelling the download, back out a couple of screens, then to the apps page in market and push update.
That usually gets the download to actually start downloading, and finish.
I don't know if this will work in your situation. Please be as specific as possible when describing issues you are having. It makes troubleshooting much easier to do.
Thanks for your replies. We have tried uninstalling it, in both cases we get a progress bar that never ends. In the case of an uninstall it only allows us to uninstall the updates and says it is a system app as why.
It will not let us stop the download. We have tried stopping data connections and then uninstalling the updates, but to no avail. Even when the device is offline, the uninstall progress bar keeps going as if stuck in a loop just as happens with the install from market.
For the record, this is a completely unmodded device.
this happened to me also. i went to menu/settings/aplications/manage aplications/found the market app and then cleared cache and data. then opened app back up and proceded with the download. it worked for me

You'll need to stop the process on that screen first before you clear the cache. I've had to do this with several apps so it's a good workaround to be familiar with.
Thanks for the tips. This is what I did:
1. Put the device in airplane mode to stop the download.
2. Rebooted.
3. Went into settings/applications/manage applications and cleared the cache and data
4. Rebooted again
5. Returned to settings/applications/ manage applications and selected uninstall updates
Same result. It was stuck trying to uninstall.
Edit. Actually, it is worse than i thought. As a control i tried downloading an update from a different app after i stopped the Adobe flash update. - same result. Then i tried to download a random free app. - it won't download. Then i tried to uninstall an app. - it got stuck on the progress bar. So, the problem seems to be system wide.
Anyone ever heard of something like this?

[Q] How to disable OTA

I'm on a rooted HTC One X and I just started getting OTA notifications and I kept on postponing them, but today it said that I could no longer postpone it and it will be installed in 8 hours.
I saw this thread..but I wasn't sure it would work on my HTC ONE X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856632

What applications? I tried somthing called AutoRun manager and I tried to disable it but that just made it prompt a notification.
There's some system function you can freeze/remove to stop it. Let me see if I can find it.
Edit: Try this:
wantabe said:
It's a little late for this probably but for future reference if you are rooted and want to stop receiving OTA updates remove/rename/delete HtcOMADM_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik. If you want to remove "AT&T software update" from the "Settings" then remove HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik.

[Q] Phone wont update to 9.18.79

My phone dosent want to update because at one point I was using TB and removed chrome from my phone and installed the app version from play store. Now when I go to update, it reboots into recovery, begins installing, then fails. When I check to see wy its not updating, it gives me a long string of numbers and letters and says .. chrome.apk .. and then it says update aborted.... so I was wondering if anyone knew a way I can fix this because I have a backup of chrome when it was a system app but when I install it, it still does the same thing.

Try rebooting after you're done and see if it did update. A few people have reported that the update said it failed, but when they rebooted the update actually did work. If that fails, then you can just update through RSD.

Yea, I've tried to update it tons of times and it keeps failing because of chrome not being a system apk. I did try the option on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33028928 but, realizing I was on 4.1.2, it failed again and since not using a nexus 7, I'm not sure it will work anyway. I could go with RSD but I was hoping there might be another way to fix it without wiping all the data.

unfortunately, maps has stopped

Hello, I keep having this problem for a week. Could you please tell me how to fix it? I am using a p905 note pro lte internatonal sim lock free, unrooted device. Thanks
Go to settings 》application settings and try clearing the data for the application
do you mean application manager? Tried twice but the issue remains.

try and uninstall it and re-install if you are able.. something could have gotten screwy ... also.. a lot of the google apps tend to sometimes have issues after updates.. you could just try and uinstall the most recent update and see if it still occurs..
From my Fired-up Note Pro 12.2!

I cannot uninstall the app. there is no such option. i uninstalled update and this error message shows up non-stop.
keep having the problem the entire day. what can I do? thanks
I uninstalled updates and the error shows up like craxy. Then, I went to playstore to reinstall update. Still get the error shown on the topic. Is there anything that I could do besides a factory reset?

are you rooted?if you are, you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall the app (think you might have to buy the pro if you dont have in order to mess with system apps, but if you dont own and are rooted, 1 of the few apps very worth buying).
if you do this, then you can go and reinstall from playstore as a fresh install..
if those don't work, then factory reset/odin back to stock may be needed..
also, if rooted you could try using a rom and flash that as an option..
My device is not rooted. Is there a way to solve the problem without rooting?
Only other thing I'd try prior to a factory reset would be to remove your google account information and then add it back in (settings - general - accounts). This may reset GAPPS (google apps) to the point where maps works again.
Did you by any chance delete or deactivate several Google processes? Like Google Services?
