The new update 8.0.0.371 for facial recognition is out and keeps asking me to install but I'll lose root and I don't care about facial recognition. I can re-root but it's just irritating. Maybe if it's a major update I'd do it.
Edit: Found it in Developer Options, nevermind =/
It's still asking but maybe because I only turned of auto updates but not update requests. Can I turn that off?
Edit: Nobody covered it but I did find under Settings - Apps& notifications - Apps - System update - Notifications
That's just to disable notifications. Since you're rooted you can also try to freeze the update system app which will prevent it from running.

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.
I'm just wondering if anyone is having the same issue.
Before updating to Nougat, in App Notifications you could set individual apps to Treat as Priority so you would still get notifications even when Do Not Disturb was enabled.
I like to use Do Not Disturb and allow Priority only. I would set WhatsApp, for example, to Treat as Priority and I would still get notifications despite Do Not Disturb being enabled.
I've now updated to Nougat and the Treat as Priority has vanished from the individual app notification settings. I did see a screen shot from Nougat that had a slightly different, but effectively the same option called Override Do Not Disturb.
After updating and looking at WhatsApp it said Do Not Disturb overridden but I have no toggle to change it. I had to reset apps to clear it.
I've added a screenshot to show what I mean. No Treat as Priority or Override Do Not Disturb.
I know you can slide an app notification to the right and hit the settings icon that appears but this still doesn't allow overriding of Do Not Disturb.
I would just like to know if anyone has Treat as Priority or Override Do Not Disturb as a toggle on their XZ?
Sony told me to do a firmware repair, but I'd rather check here first as I doubt a firmware repair will do anything.
Just so you know, I'm running completely stock firmware, and stock XZ. No unlocked bootloaders or anything.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Mick.
Solved
Problem solved by factory data reset.
The option to allow interrupts in Do not Disturb has now appeared in the individual apps notification settings. Must have been a glitch after the OTA update.
Looks like I'll be going back to the days where a factory reset was almost obligatory to get your phone working properly again after an OTA.
So much for seamless updates.

Yo uare right, I'm having several weird issues with the OTA. This same thing occured to me on my various previous Sonys. Silly and annoying for sure. I'm going about reinstalling Nougat from scratch myself asap
I'm on latest Nougat and I have an annoying notification that I need to update to Oreo, is there anyway to disable this (Besides blocking notifications to google play services)?
My phone is rooted and I tried to install 'Disable Service', I went to Google Play Services → disabled SystemUpdateService and SystemUpdateGcmTaskService too... but the notification is still there after a reboot.. I was thinking disabling these services will get rid of the notification.
Any ideas guys please?
Thanks,
Updating removes the notification
Use a custom Nougat ROM

Just wondering why you don't want to block play service notifications. I have had that blocked on multiple devices for years now including ones that I have had no intention of ever updating with no adverse effects.
Do you have an app called ConfigUpdater installed? If so, could you disable it? It's juat a hint, i didn't test it as i dont have an update pending.
you should just be able to go into;
settings->system->developer settings->automatic system updates (switch to off)...
you shouldn't need to use disable service app or disable config updater or anything like that.

That does not disable the notification of availability. It just disables it from auto-running the update to the best of my knowledge.

hmmm, maybe you as right, but I don't recall using any of the steps recommended in this thread to disable it ?
maybe the OP should swipe down notifications and hold down on the update notification. click on the gear/settings icon, which should take him to the app notifications for google play services - he should be able to disable it from there i would think...?
i know that's how i've killed other notifications that i'm not interested in seeing (like oreo's notifications about apps running in the background).

That's precisely what the long press does... it blocks play service notifications.
It's probably that goog wants what he wants and no way around it
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.

Not working for me. Optimizer keeps coming up each time an sms has been blocked

Are we still able to disable updates? What app is everyone using now?
You can block automatic updates by enabling Developer Options and turning off "Automatic System Updates". I don't know if it prevents your device from actually downloading the update; it just prevents an automatic reboot.
Oh ok. I'll try that. Thanks alot
