How can I Disable OTA? (Which app/process to freeze)

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.

Gmail notifications

OK, ever since the switch from Nougat to Oreo update I've lost all notifications from GMail. I've already done some research and tried some of the advised steps but am still at a loss. This is not phone specific as I actually to get a new phone since Oreo. Thoughts, suggestions?

Try settings
apps
select the app you want
(gmail )
scroll down to app settings
Notifications
if it shows blocked
then select and toggle switch to on
this will allow you to customise notifications for this app.
Hope this helps.

Already checked that. Thanks, though

Notification problems? (I already turned on the setting in iManager and Setting)

I bought my Nex in China, and I already turned on the settings like autostart in iManager and settings like the emergency priority in Manage Status and Notification. However, a lot of times notifications for apps like Gmail still don't show up on time; they are delayed for anywhere between an hour to hours. Anyone know the solution? Really like the phone but am thinking about going back to OnePlus 5T stock android because of this (one time I even missed Google Voice incoming call, had to go into the app and refresh to know I got a call). Thanks!

maybe you need to whitelist your 3rd party apps for speedup. start first the app you want to whitelist, swipe from the left bottom up to get in the control center, there you see your apps. swipe the app down and you will see a lock, click on that and you whitelist your app for speedup. i include some pics. hope that help you solve your problem, the software is very terrible on this phone but i love it too much i can´t sell it.

Google Pay - Apps drawing over the screen stopping me adding a card

I'm on Havok Rom, and I've got magisk installed, and it passes all safety checks and is hidden from google pay. Google pay works fine until i go to confirm the card details, then i get a pop up saying "looks like another app is blocking access to the wallet, Turn off any apps that might be drawing over the screen and try again"
I've disabled all apps from Displaying over other apps in the settings, but this error keeps popping up.
Does anyone know solution to this?

Did you find a solution to this? I am on stock and have the same issue.

I don't get the same error message, but I can't use my credit card with Google Pay anymore... I get the error message "Couldn't finish setup to pay in stores. This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way".
It is rooted. Of course it is.
I'm using a OnePlus 6 with the latest firmware. My Recovery or Kernel aren't modified. Google Pay is hidden in Magisk and passes the SafetyNet test.
What gives? Google increased it's root detection? Is it happening to someone else?
Thank you!

no solution found yet, even on a completely fresh ROM install with no apps other than Google it still gives me the same message.

I have the same problem with one banking app. Others work fine except one. Also on stock ROM

OK, I started thinking maybe this is something to do with the gesture area at the bottom of the screen, and I think I'm right as I have a solution that works (at least for me).
Go to Settings->Buttons & Gestures->Navigation Bar & Gestures
Under 'Choose Navigation Bar' select 'Back, Home, Recents'
Now go into 'Navigation Bar Customisation' and turn on 'Hide the navigation bar' - this will add an icon on the left of the nav bar allowing you to pin or unpin (autohide) it.
Now go back into the Google Pay app and start setting up your card. When you get to the point where the 'Continue' button is missing pin or unpin the navigation bar, depending on what state its in currently. The 'Continue' button will appear.

Doesn't work for me unfortunately, continue button has always been there but I can't click it in the confirming card details section due to the app drawing over the screen notification, and unfortunately removing the nav bar didn't change anything.

Had a similar issue. The only way I got it to work is go to settings: Apps -> Google Play Services ->Permissions -> Disable phone/telephone. Try again.

For me BLue light filter app was blocking the wallet to pay after recent update on wallet. By turning off filter app, wallet worked.

This is not working for me as well. Any possible fix? The fixes mentioned in the comments do not work for me. I have disabled drawing over apps for all apps

Possible solution
Make sure you arent using an app to dull your screen resolution. Turn it off in settings.

I don't know if this will work or not but I would suggest going through all of your apps yes I know it's probably a lot. Turning off the permission to draw over other apps one by one. Reboot your device and check to see if it's working

Try turning off smart pixels or any such thing

Try turning off battery saver. It worked for me.

Got the resolution
Just turn off the smart pixel if it's enabled

I found the solution guys. App notifications are the culprits here. You have to clear the notifications by dragging down the notification bar from top. It resolved the issue for me. Please try and comment.

The Problem I have also face, but I have resolved the issue by uninstalling the blue lite app, the screen will impact on the google pay and Irctc app

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I am using Oneplus 5 with the crdroid pie based rom. For me the issue was fixed by turning off the smart pixels option in crdroid settings.

Developer options
The only thing that helped me was disabling developer options. I think Google Pay assumes that since the developer options are enable the device isn't safe.
Hope it helps.
(I have an ASUS Zenfone 4)

I had the same issue on android. Turned out it was the facebook messenger app. Force close it in app settings and should work

EMUI 11 "power-intensive app" toggle gone?

Hey guys! I finally got the EMUI 11 update a few days ago, but there is something that's driving me crazy since. My P40 Pro is googlefied, and it has been and is working perfectly with GMS, but since I updated I keep getting a notification that the Google Services Framework is a power-intensive app and Huawei recommends me force closing it. I had these before with some apps on EMUI 10 too, like with Line and Facebook, but there used to be an option to turn off the "power-intensive" notification for a certain app. With EMUI 11 that seems to be gone, and I keep getting this notification about Google Services Framework at least twice a day. It is super annoying and I can't find a way to turn it off. I checked around the Battery settings, in the app settings, but the option seems to be gone. I hope one of you figured out how to deal with this, I really don't want to downgrade but I think I will if I can't fix this issue. Looking for help, thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply! At least I know I'm not alone with the issue. Could you clarify your solution? How to ignore it in the battery settings? I couldn't find an option for it.

same here

Okay I'm back after some testing. So first thing I tried was cleaning the cache of the Play Store, Google Services and Google Services Framework -> did not help. After that I compared the version info of said apps on my P40 Pro to my Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and even though the Store was up to date, i found out that the Google Services and GSF hasn't updated on my P40 Pro. I installed an app called "Launcher Google Play Services Settings (Shortcut)", and through that I was able to update my Google Services. It didn't break the installed GMS, but didn't fix the power intensive app notification either. After that I updated the Google Services Framework manully, downloaded the exact version my Mate 20 Pro has (10-6475670). Update went well, It did not break my GMS install, everything works perfectly but hasn't fixed the notification issue. Now I'm testing a workaround that seems to be working, but I'll give it an other day to see if it really works. If it does, I'll post my solution here.

So that wasn't the solution?

Happy new year guys! Sorry for the late reply, as it fixed my problem I forgot about this topic. So the workaround is pretty easy, and it's about disabling notifications for the Optimizer app. EMUI doesn't have the option to disable notifications for Optimizer by default, but it is possible with a third party app called NCleaner, search "Notification Blocker & Cleaner & Heads-up Off" in the Play store. After install it will ask for permission to access notifications, then while the Notification Cleaner is turned on, click on the 3 dots on top right corner, go to settings. Search for the Optimizer app, and click on it (no need to mess around with the toggle, click on the Optimizer itself) and a menu will pop-up where you can completely disable the notifications for said app. After you turned it off, you can actually uninstall NCleaner, and the notifications will keep being turned off for the Optimizer even if you restart your phone, except if you go to the settings of EMUI, and open the Optimizer notifications menu, it will turn itself back on automatically. So install NCleaner, disable the notification for Optimizer with the help of it, uninstall the app, and don't open the notification settings of Optimizer or you'll have to turn it off in NCleaner again. This is actually not the main functionality for NCleaner, it can also hide notifications automatically for the apps, but I think it's easier to just disable it as it is, so NCleaner doesn't have to run in the background eating up battery.
