Hi has anyone else recieved this pop up?
Stock note 5 no root. It shows up in my pull down status bar. If I don't hit accept the update or decline it goes away.
See picture.
Yes and i have also declined, it seems very fishy. I dont want to infect my note, i love this thing. Would love to know what it is
Installed it. No issues so far.
I got the same thing and installed it today. I also looked in the application manager and you can uninstall the update if you wish
It's just a software update for Samsung backup and restore. My guess is maybe getting ready for 6 to finally come.
I called my service provider and they said they see it on their devices in their office. But they told me I can contact Samsung for more information. I then called Samsung, the support guy had no idea what it was and said that they only know about the Lollipop update. Never had much luck with Samsung support, always seems pretty useless.
I'm getting the same pop up daily on my Edge Plus. It's not a software update through Android. It says it's from Galaxy. ???
I've also received this update. Haven't installed it yet.
Anyone received android 6 update yet? Still waiting on Sprint.
I installed it yesterday. I have seen no ill effects.
I have received this same notification. I have yet to install. When I navigate to Settings to locate Software Update, it says my device is up to date, yet I keep receiving the notification. Seems super fishy to me.
I've been getting this notification almost daily for about 2 weeks and have declined everytime also because it seems very "fishy". I can' t find any app called "Backup and Restore" on my phone and settings show all is up to date. I called Sprint. They didn't know. Suggested I call Samsung or do a system reboot (they had no clue). I called local Speint store with techs there and he wasn't familiar with it either. He asked if I could bring it in to show him. Haven't yet. I have the notification "pending" in background now. Maybe I'll take it today. At least I have Lookout Security installed so maybe that will help in case its malicious? Very wierd. Someone please post if you have specifics! Thanks!
Hey guys. So, I got my BPXL about a week ago, and I instantly loved it. The first thing I did was reinstall all apps from my previous phone. All 180 apps. No issues (except for the -504 problems). Two days ago, I was prompted by the Play Store about some updates. I told my phone to update all apps automatically, but there was a list of about ten items that needed to be updated. "okay, whatever." So I initiated the downloads. About two hours later, I realized that in the notification drawer, the download for the very first app in that list was appearing as paused. Return to the Google Play Store, see what's up, and the download bar is just running running running, but never actually showing any download progress. Paused them all, tried to run them one at a time, same problem. Tried to install a new app, same problem. Tried all of Google's troubleshooting steps, same problem. Here's where it gets real fun: Performed factory reset of phone, same problem. Acquired replacement phone from Amazon, SAME PROBLEM.
Apps can be downloaded and installed from the Amazon Appstore, but Amazon's app market couldn't hold a candle to the Google Play Store. I'm totally at the end of my rope. Google doesn't know what to do, Blu doesn't know what to do, and I have no idea what to do. I have no idea what is causing these issues. Anybody had anything similar happen and know what to do?
New here but I've had my Pure XL since December. I've been having the same issue for about a week or so. The only thing I've found that works is to cancel the updates, turn off Wi-Fi and start downloading them again. Of course that uses a lot of data, so it's not really an ideal solution..
and the download bar is just running running running said:
Dear friend i got the same problem. But i was very confused when I when to other WIFI location and suddenly the downloads start working....I change my originally router and seens to fix that..don't know why... but it never happen again...

I actually just got off the phone with Blu CS, and it seems that this issue is common enough that they're rushing out a patch to try and fix it. There's a lot of other broken stuff I hope they patch over too, but in the meantime, being able to download off of Google Play would be a big step forward.
So there it is. Anybody experiencing the issue, wait. That's what they told me, that's all we can do.
Received an OTA update today that appears to have resolved the play store issue.
Blu Pure XL pause download problem *Easy Bypass*
I recently bought a Blu Pure XL, shortly after I rooted it no problem, then I had the store error that everyone else is talking about and people say there was an update released to fix it. Unfortunately when I try to start the OTA says my system is damaged so I downloaded the app: DataEye to see what processes use the internet while downloading and long story short when the download says paused open Dataeye and Toggle data saving mode on then off! Fixes every download that pauses hope this helps!
I try to to update today through wireless update but i only get the message "network connection failed". So i unroot the phone using the the tutorial forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/twrp-recovery-root-blu-pure-xl-allview-t3269447 by bemolx
it keep saying "network connection failed" on WIFI or 4G, internet is ok and working.
But i notice something weird: I can't set the camera Storage Location to Internal Memory, only to SD card. (Also whatsapp can't receive any media) . I don't know if i did something wrong at the first time when i root the phone or if this is related to the update that i am not able to install. By the way if somebody manage to download this update as a zip and share with the community. ? maybe others are having the same problem?

This step fixed the issue for me. Thanks!!
Download and install downloadprovider.apk and downloadproviderui.apk from the url above.
That's what it tried to do on mine. This morning, I got a message on my phone saying there is a new Gear app. When I start the Samsung Gear app on my phone, I also got the same message and it won't continue unless you update. I held off for while to check here if there are any issues with the new update. None. So, I went on ahead and updated the Gear App on the phone. After it installed the Gear app successfully, it started to download an update to S Pay even though I had it set to "Never" Auto Update. If you're holding off on updating S Pay on the phone (because you're rooted,) be forewarned.
Edit: Here's what you can do. After it updates the Gear app and the S Pay update download has started, disconnect your wifi, data or go to Airplane mode to stop the download.
Hi,
Can you upload the latest Samsung gear apk? I still haven't got an update yet.
Thanks!
Right. I am not letting this go! Been on at Nokia for a couple of weeks now and still getting nowhere.
These are what they have asked me to try so far (No success)
I am on Vodafone and my spare Sim is BTMobile (on EE) and the phone purchased from Carphone Warehouse
these are from Nokia "Support"
"First, please go to Settings >> Applications/Apps & Notifications >> (Show all) Three dots on the top-right >> Show System >> Carrier Services >> Storage >> Cache and tap to clear it.
Then, remove any SIM Cards on your device and shut down your device (Long press the Power Button >> Power Off).
Wait for about 15 minutes, then turn on your device without the SIM Card.
10 minutes after it loads, please connect to a stable Wi-Fi Connection and check for your System Updates by going to Settings >> About Phone >> System Updates.
Should this not work, please go back to step 2, but on step 3, please insert a SIM Card from a different Network Operator and proceed to step 4."
No change.
Then today I got this nugget to try.
Please be informed, that usually receiving the update takes some time. You could however try the following things:
Make sure you have pressed Request OTA in the Beta Labs website;
Also try the following options:
Remove your SIM card;
Settings -> Apps -> Google play services -> Disable;
Settings -> Apps -> Google play services -> Enable;
Settings -> Apps -> Google play services -> Force stop;
Settings -> Apps -> Google play services -> Storage -> Clear data / Clear cache.
After these steps please restart the device.
No joy.
Read somewhere that someone with an O2 sim got an update through.
Poor poor service
BEst reply ever to an update issue
"We are sorry about inconvenience, we understand your disappoint and would like you know that we are working in the new Security Pack and in the next update you will be able to do."
Can someone tell me what the hell that says? To sort out the update the next update will sort it.? I cant effin update!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what project treble have to say about the matter of updates.
NEed another phone I think as this is really winding me up now.
Still haven't received any updates since May getting annoying now Nokia are getting like Motorola/Lenovo.
Update: i am now on the latest July update thanks to a user on Nokia 6.1 forums. What I did:
Phone - Nokia 6.1 from Carphone Warehouse UK, Sim Free with Vodafone sim. Was stuck on May 2018 patch level.
(I downloaded VPN Melon)
Popped Sim out, factory reset with sim out. Didn't restore device from previous google backup, logged into my google account. Jumped to Play Store, disabled any automatic update/download of any app. Immediately downloaded VPN Melon, connected to USA. Went to settings / check for update. Installed update (June 2018)
Update required phone reboot. Rebooted. Immediately went to Play store, stopped any auto update. Went to VPN Melon, connected to USA. Went to settings, check for update. Installed update (July 2018).
Rebooted ... did same as above. No update available. Factory reset phone, pushed in sim card when it rebooted, restored google account from previous backup, all good.

Nice work.
July is just installing on mine now. I haven't had mine a week yet!
When I first started setting it up, it did the automatic update to the May patch but like everyone else that's as far as it went.
Only just got the SIM for it this morning (old one was a Tesco Mobile Micro that wouldn't fit) so wiping and starting again isn't a problem.
Just a shame we have to resort to 'sneaky' tactics to update
its a shame that we have to that but its only why we can update our devices iv asked Nokia about it updates and they keep saying BS that the network carriers are at fault.
Yep. Confirming this works. Whoever found it my thanks. Told Nokia how we are all updating using this method and the only reply was "anything else we can help you with"
Utter spherical objects ?

Is it really worth having to reset your mobile to factory settings just to get a system update?

I can also confirm this works.
Is it ok to have USA firmware on a UK device? I was also wondering if now we're on July, we might just auto get the future updates now? Maybe May was bugged?

HEard from two seperate sources now (people I would trust to know too) that it is how Nokia have setup their updates that's to blame. Project treble means that the carriers have very little input into any updates especially with sim free phones. The worry is that the people who could sort it in Nokia probably don't know as Nokia care have continuously been quoting from the script to be patient, blame the carrier or the country your in and fob you off.
HMD really have dragged a solid name down with how they have handled the TA-1050 issue.

I'd had mine less than a week before finding this, and also did a basic setup from new as I hadn't got SIM so doing a factory reset wasn't a problem as there was nothing important on it.
I would be a pain if this has to be done each time an update comes out, but as the poster I commented on did the updates then restored a backup without apparent problems it may no be so bad. Only time will tell

I'm hoping a fix for this was built into the July patch. Not sure I will bother resetting my phone every month.

So far I haven't had any issues.
Hopefully the next update will work as its supposed to and eliminate any potential problems.
I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks or so.

Sorry I couldn't tell you.
Apart from regular updates of Lineage OS 14 on my previous Nexus 5, I've not bothered much with updates as they were few and far between.
I will say that this Nokia will be the first phone I've had in years that I won't be messing about rooting, custom ROMs etc. I'll be leaving it completely stock with the exception of a different launcher (Nova) and icon set

The release date on the July patch was July 5th. I got it the end of last week. The previous June patch was about the same. I am not sure if they are rolling releases or if it is Nokia taking a bit of time to ensure the patch from Google does not interfere with normal operation of their Android One phones before release. In either case, I am just glad to be getting monthly security patches. This is my first smartphone to ever get monthly updates. I have owned phones from Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and LG. None of those companies was very good at releasing updates. Certainly not monthly updates. I hope the issue with your updates gets fixed. I suspect it is your carrier that is the issue, not Nokia. If it was Nokia we would all be having the problem.
I don't think it's to do with the carrier. I'm not sure. Just hope we auto get Augusts update.
I think Nokia are updating our phones to Android P this month.
Requesting DDL Upload Link to OTA files
In another thread, some genius is proactively uploading links to the OTA update files for the old Nokia 6 TA-1025. The thread is right up to date with the July 2018 patch. If someone could do the same for the TA-1050 there would be an awful lot of very grateful Nokia 6.1 owners. There is a huge thread on the Nokia forums complaining about this issue since May. My phone is stuck on the May patch, and I don't want to factory reset and use VPN as the reset process stuffs up the authorisation on my banking app. US owners are clearly receiving timely updates, so the OTA files must be available on the googleapis server, it just needs someone with the knowhow to point us less talented guys to the ZIP files. At least sideloading from an SD card is a process most users can accomplish. Thanks to anyone who can help with this...:fingers-crossed:
The problem is there are three different firmware variants for July, A, B, and E. The phone's with the E firmware when brilliantly, almost all reported issues such as crashes, reboots, temporarily dead devices etc are related to those with A and B firmware.
This is an Android One device, yet monthly updates come at the end of the month. The Nokia 6, a non-Android One device gets the month's update shortly after the release from Google. No matter what some people do, including the process outlined with the VPN, with genuine store bought devices (not grey market imports), they are stuck on June update. Again, A and B variant firmware. Ironically those with the grey import model TA-1068 are much better off with a phone that works and updates. This is the 4GB RAM model.
This device is meant to get Android 9 in a timely manner, as well as Android 10. It is also meant to get at least 31 more months of security updates in a timely manner, which I doubt since they can't get them out in a timely manner now. Will they still update it as promised by the time the 2019 and 2020 models, all requiring updates, are released? Evidence suggests they won't be able to.
By months my 3a won't automatically update itself even with update/download "over any network", I have already tried to restore and wipe from recovery but still unresolved.
Does anyone noticed this issue?
I tried waiting almost one month without system (monthly patch) and apps (all pending) updates popup.
Google support after few attempts, just proposed me a warranty replacement but the phone otherwise is perfect.
Manual updates works.
Any tips?
TY
I had the same issue back in January and didn't get a system update well into April. So I had to manually update. Still haven't gotten the May update yet, but we'll see.
Also with the apps?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, I would not count on automatic monthly updates. They work sometimes, but not most of the time. My personal experience is that I have to sideload the monthly updates about 90% of the time.
As far as app updates, I generally manually check it every couple of days and find that there are pending updates. I will hit the "update" button and manually update them if I see pending updates. That being said, if I don't check it for a while (maybe a week), the phone will eventually update the apps, but it certainly doesn't happen on a daily basis, at least not in my experience. I just wanted to add my experiences as they seem to be very similar to yours.

Having an unlocked bootloader, too, but I never had issues with updates until now, they are coming directly at the first day Google is sending out the OTA.
I wonder if our phone service provider is also a factor? I have not been seeing the updates available within a day or two of when they are posted on the first Monday of the month. I get my phone service through a T-mobile MVNO. Maybe people on Google Fi are more likely to get it OTA quickly?
My phone is rooted with Magisk.
But I'm impatient so I have always just applied the update manually. It's a bit more of a pain because it means that I have to download not only the update but also the factory image to extract the boot image file and patch it with Magisk.
I have not had a problem installing updates for apps through play. I just have to remember to NOT update youtube so that I don't lose youtube vanced!
Hi all and thanks for your time!
I have a good news.
After avoid to do any manual update, right now I see that few apps have been updated themself from 11 hr and 2 days ago, but other 22 apps are still pending (when I wrote here the 6th May they were 40).
Around the 23th of Feb I had to do manual update search because it still was with Jan patch, even in March and April I did the manual search the week after the day 5th.
My phone is not rooted and during the day it uses both cellular and WiFi networks, mostly of the nights I put it in airplane mode and battery save (so it lasts easily for 2 days).
The cause was because I put all the nights the phone in airplane mode with battery saver, last night I leave it connected to WiFi and under charge, this morning I found the advice to reboot for install the system patch and after boot also the apps were updated.
The system patch has been found around 4 am.
I'm having a similar issue with my rooted 3a. I have stock rom, elemental kernel, and magisk. But apps that came installed as part of the ohone won't update in Google play. Stuff like phone, contacts, sim carrier, Gmail, camera, etc
There's literally about 20 updates right now that won't install. They download, and say installing, then they just skip to the next and still say there's an available update. After the final one is tried, I get a message saying that it was unable to update those apps.
Any app that I downloaded from play or as an apk, allows me to update without any issue at all.
I have googled it and followed the recommendations, but so far, nothing has helped. I cleaned the cache, hard reboots, switch update settings, turned off play protect, deleted cache and data of play store and play services. Removed my account and added it bad. And have some a few more things that I read about -- but yet nothing fixes it.
If I should start a new thread, that's no problem. I don't want to hijack this one. But saw that it dealt with update issues and thought maybe I would see if I could find help.
