Does anyone happen to know how to turn off the android update notification that pops up and takes up the entire phone screen?
I'm using a Rooted & Unlocked Motorola Z2 Force, T-mobile branded but AT&T Service ( Purchased through T-mobile but currently using AT&T service)
Update notification pictured below *
Have you tried removing the android system updater app using titanium backup or another tool?
Although that would break updating unless you go back to stock rom .

Thank you for the reply.
But no I haven't uninstalled or froze any App's yet. I've only turned off all the notifications I could find. I've been able to turn off all the update notifications besides one, it's a full sized pop up that seems to randomly pop up and take up the entire screen until I hit back a bunch of times .

I recently rooted my phone so it wiped everything and I'm back to a clean phone but I am missing updates to stock apps. I thought they would get pushed on their own but its been three days now and they haven't updated. Anyway I can force an update? I already tried clearing market cache but it didn't work.

You mean updates like maps 5.9.0 and gmail 2.3.5? Then you'll have to wait until it's your device's turn for an autoupdate again. Basically it's rolled out in badges and it's not your turn now, maybe it'll take a few days.
Haven't heared of a way to force updates. Try signing in to Google servers, *#*#checkin#*#*, but I think that's for OS OTAs only.
Or you'll have someone send you the apks. If you have cwm recovery you can use gapp.zip from CM. Another option (root req) is to get market enabler, delete teh stock app via TB and then redownload it.

Try going to Market. It might not show Gmail under Updates, but I just opened the Gmail market page and it let me manually update to the latest version 2.3.5.

Looking at his name I think he's German as well, we don't have access to GMail app via the market here, we have to wait for OTA updates (or use market enabler).
I'm from India.
I managed to force an update by changing my carrier using market enabler to Verizon in the USA. The market and music app updated within a minute.

Dear all,
About a week ago, my Desire S said a new OTA update was available: Update for the stock "Locations" app. I accepted to download and install update. And download began.
Weird thing is that during installation the progress bar was at 0% for hours and hours before I cancelled.
Ever since, when I go to settings -> about phone -> software updates -> Check for updates, I get the message:
"Your phone is downloading the software updates" and I can only press "OK".
Besides this, the phone has returned to the state, where I cannot hold down the standby buttun to turn off the phone (just like the issue after the OTA upgrade to android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5). Here it worked to do a factory reset.
But I would really hate to do that again.
Any suggestions or fixes to the problems?
I appreciate the help.
Thank you!
No suggestions to solve the problem?
I would try to reboot my phone to end and restart every process. or maybe your update will work via wifi
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Thanks for your suggestion.
I am on WiFi, and I have tried to completely turning of the phone (by removing battery, as the off button doesnt work cf my first post),
But it still says that the phone is downloading software. I am pretty sure it is not.
have you rooted your phone? You could try to delete or uninstall the locations application (and reinstall of course). Update via market isn't possible right?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
It is not rooted. I cannot uninstall the locations app as it is stock. Maybe factory redet is the only option? Or is there a specific process than can be stopped to prevent it from saying that the phone is downloading updates?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
The only process you could stop would be the update itself, but I'm sure you don't want to
I think there is no process like "searching for updates"
Just backup your data and do this factory reset. Maybe it'll help

Sigh, hehe... Is it possible to backup all the apps, so I won't have manually install every single one again after reset?

I'm doing that with my Google account. I can turn it on and off, It's in your phones privacy settings
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
It doesn't say what is backed up etc? Will that automatically install my apps after factory reset?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
For me it does so.. You could search Google for more information on this function
You can backup contacts, apps, saved passwords etc.
Or you can use titanium backup for the same needs

It didnt for me but the problem is solved, and I guess a cleanup didn't hurt either thanks for your help and suggestions.

Hi guys.
I used to get a notification which was bugging me to update to 5.0.
I blocked that ongoing notification through Gravity Box (Xposed)
I don't know what has happened, but now when I go to system updates, I see "your system is up to date".
I could have downloaded the update last month but did not because of some root issues. Now when I want to upgrade, I can't.
Any idea on how to get the OTA update? (I can flash the zip, but don't want to)
Thanks!

You'll have to wait for it to come round again.
Wait for the notification? But why? It was available a few days ago... Vanished after I installed the Closed framework.
I also installed eggster for different easter eggs. Can that be a problem?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The notification goes after a while if you don't accept it. You go to the back of the queue. Sounds like you've made enough modifications for the ota not to work anyway
Okay, this might sound stupid but... Making a lot of modifications disables the OTA or something?

OTA requires no modified files to apply. You'll still get the notification (when its your turn again) but the install will fail
I believe he means, too many modifications that differs from the OTA zip.
Restore the factory image, or side-load it.
I don't k ow if this method still works, but:
Google Services Framework, Force Stop, Clear App Data, then go check System Update.
Service cannot be stopped. Rebooted quite a few times now.
Looks like I'll have to install the factory image directly.

Flash the 5.0 image manualy in fastboot or better yet wait a bit more for the 5.0.1 image to be posted by Google.
The funny thing is, I got a notification to update even after rooting, patching apps etc.
It is only after I installed Xposed that the OTA vanished.
Some people say that even the presence of SU app can fail the update. Is it true?

Look in the general thread OTA thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327, the OTA is still available there. First reflash the latest 4.4.4 Nexus 5 image and after that sideload flash the OTA in recovery. Backup your files first before flashing 4.4.4 again.
I will flash the 5.0.1 directly now. Thanks all.

No no, its the 5.0 OTA. The 5.0.1 isn`t out yet for the N5

There is no link between modifications and the notification. The notification would have disappeared even if you were stock unrooted. The fact it disappeared after installing xposed is pureb coincidence
Oh okay. Thanks!
I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and I've downgraded to KitKat twice with Odin.
The first time my phone force updated it was cause I had my phone off for awhile I turned it on and it began the update process.
WTF
Then the second time I kept ignoring and dismissing their update messages and it forced rebooted and updated to lolipop.
basically....
The second time though I didn't get any updates because I had use @gatesjunior debloater app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
but after using kingroot to root my phone (cause I wanted to use titanium backup pro)
Somehow it removed the update block from gatesjunior debloater app and my phone upgraded to lollipop BEFORE i could backup my apps and data, settings in titanium backup pro:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Rooted phones don't update do they? On my 2 Samsung tablets(now one) and 1 phone, after rooting Samsung said that modified devices can't be updated

Hello everyone,
I have rooted LG magna and i deleted some system apps like weather, keyboard.. My phone got new update and i want to know if i can update my device without the deleted apps.
Is it safe ?
If you are rooted and you will upgrade it via OTA then you will have to unroot it first. On the other hand if you will flash it via PC download mode upgrade it will be wiped and back to stock/factory defaults.
It is safe but consider that you might lose your root.

I can unroot, this is not the problem.
But i have deleted some bloatware and replaced the stock kayboard with the Google kayboard.
