I used anycut to create a shortcut to the LbsTestMode, and I can get in, but any changes I make don't stay after I leave the screen. Is this because of the JH7 update? It's like it's locked down.
I can't even get to LbsTestMode anymore :\ Any way to fix that ?
JH7 locked it out from the phone dialer.
Get on Android Market and search for LbsTestMode. You'll find the FREE app by TomatoX.
Not my question, I have the lbs option, it launches fine, so I don't need the dialer, just does not save changes I make, like standalone to ms based, etc...

You haven't mucked about with your settings.db file recently, have you? I.e. to enable non-market app installs? Make sure it's owned by system:system and has permissions of 660 (rw-rw----).
I was having the same problem with my Application settings not being remembered (even when I just backed out one screen and went back in), and this was the problem.
The update indeed has disabled access to Lbstestmode from the dialer. What is AT&T doing???? Locking in a lousy GPS without the ability of the onwer to go in and try and fix it????? What in the world are they thinking????? I can see AT&T corporate now... OK guys, What can we do to cripple our flagship phone some more????? I want to see our subscribers all head off to other carriers so we can just fold up shop and go on vacation!
Previously on Marshmallow 6.0.1 and had Hotspot in the Quick Settings.
After Nougat OTA update, even when I go to Edit the Quick Settings, there's no option for Hotspot at all. Searched these forums as well as regular Google search without any luck. Nothing else has changed; same carrier, same device, just updated to Nougat. If I go thru Settings to enable Hotspot, it works. I see screenshots from others on Nougat who have the Hotspot Quick Setting.
Edit: not rooted, completely stock, Telus carrier in Canada
Possibly the screenshots you've seen are from people using Xposed modules to add it to quick settings toggles, it's not there on mine either
I was able to get around that by installing QuickTile Quick Settings from the play store, which you can find here
Hello there,
I am wondering how to disable system updates in the T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 8 (IN2017)? I also have a OnePlus 8 (IN2015) - factory unlocked version and disabled system updates by freezing "System Update 2.2.3..." using Titanium Backup. However, I don't see this app in the IN2017 variant.
I prefer not to update my phone if it ain't broken
Thanks.
You don't want to block OTA. Critical 5G updates and security patches are included.

Your concern about 5G updates is understandable. I just want to disable OTA updates (and prevent accidental or forced updates) until I am ready. Also - I prefer not to update until I run into issues.
Considering the calling issue some (many?) are having on T-Mobile, disabling updates isn't a bad idea if you haven't already updated to the current version. [emoji2357]

You really dont need to freeze anything. Go to Developer Settings and disable automatic updates. That's it. Phone will not update unless you give it the Ok. If you get an update notice on the phone just hide it.

Hi, I've got a OnePlus 7T, and past version 10.0.13 I've had numerous issues. I've tried blocking updates in the developer settings, but it still updated. I need to find another way to block updates on either global or T-Mobile firmware.
I'm in the same problem, someone can help?
I just posted my findings https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/t-mobile-op7t-11-0-1-2-update.1433526/page-2#post-23345016
What I did to avoid upgrades after downgrading again and it seems to work: https://community.t-mobile.com/android-9/forced-updates-why-13470?postid=119106#post119106
Unplug and set battery saver on
Google Play Store set to not auto update apps
I didn't plug in my phone until 4am, so the battery saver prevented an upgrade. I have changed additional settings since plugging it in, and I think it will work because the notification says "System update paused To continue, connect to Wi-Fi":
No sim card
Wi-Fi network set to metered
Removed all permissions I could for Google Play services app
Turning off Unrestricted data usage and turning on Disabled Wi-Fi and Disabled data usage for the Google Play services app (if you have a sim card with data, you may need to turn off Background data)
Not allowing Google Play services app to modify system settings
---- wrong thread ----
It seems the "Battery Saver" setting with metered connection will stop the system update.
I tried tinkering with the other settings mentioned like removing permissions from Google play services (as suggested above), but those alone did not work. Only "Battery Saver" and metered connection (WIFI) seem to work at the moment. However, I did notice Battery Saver gets turned off when the phone is plugged in, so if you're connected to the internet, then it might force the update unless you're connected to metered wifi.
I'm currently testing another approach, which I'll share below.
1. Launch terminal app like Terminal Emulator (from Play store).
2. type 'su', then enter
3. type 'pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity', then enter
4. The system update tab is gone
I'll leave my phone charged overnight with WIFI and see if the phone force updates after applying above.
UPDATE: Seems disabling updates did not work.

Same here. I froze the System Updater app and I'm still getting these update notification nag from Google Play Services. We Mex to find a way to disable these. I wonder if a modded Google Play Store would already have these disabled.

Exactly, A11 is a wreck on OP8. Anyone have any success since or should we assume people on the T-Mobile variant must flash global to keep their battery life?
The only thing that is working for me is freezing google play store + google play services.
I unfreeze google play store when I need to install apps or update apps.
I pressed restart at that prompt and the whole FKKN PHONE UPDATED TO OXYGEN 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the FGOK WHY!?!?!?!?
Can you not get rid of these prompts!?

Only way to stop system updates automatically (the toggle in Dev settings doesn't do anything lol) is to freeze/disable Google Play Services.
You can MSM back to OOS10 and then freeze that app if you like. Can cause issues though. A lot of things rely on GPS.

pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
Any feedback on this?
I'm gonna try this and see what it does.
May as well do all three commands
su pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
su -c pm disable com.oneplus.opbackup
su pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
....edit
jesus f#k...OOS11 is a catastrophe, can't even watch a video without mx player crashing.
I..UGH. Keyboard can't justify a good enough rant.
Back on 10.
I have a full template step by step divided in folder structured, step 1 - 10 to do this so its cake doing it.
Included a whole bunch of services to disabled in addition to the one in developer options.
I dont have high hopes but let see.
su -c pm disable com.oneplus.opbackup
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity

hopefully somebody figures this out. im tired of a non working phone. reverted to android 10. works great next morning android 11 back on phone. had everything i could find turned off. bah...
So after upgrading to Android 12 I was having issues with a few apps I need daily that would constantly crash, after contacting the developers to see if they had a plan to update and getting no reply I decided to downgrade back to Android 11.
My issue now is that i disabled auto updates in developer mode but it still asked me for an update a few minutes ago and it says I can only postpone it 2 times? And now it's saying it will automatically update tomorrow morning.
Is there a work around to this? I was thinking of maybe rooting my phone but found out if I do Knox secure fold wouldn't work anymore after doing that and that's an app I need.
I haven't used Samsung devices for a good while, but I believe that you can disable automatic updates through developer options. I don't think it stops the notifications, though - if your device is able to connect to the Internet and sees an available update, it will notify you.

There might be an option in settings, I believe Settings > Software Update > disable Download Update Automatically and Scheduled Software Update.
disabled auto updates
just use
ADBAppControl-1.7.3
and delete, software update
There doesn't seem to be a Samsung Galaxy A13 5G subforum on xda, so I'll ask here. If there is, please direct me to it so I can post in the correct place.
My father's Samsung Galaxy A13 5G (T-Mobile) automatically downloads system updates, even when using cellular data. Since he only wants to pay for 1GB/mo and the updates often seem to be 500 MB - 1GB, this uses up his data without his consent. The phone was recently updated to running Samsung's skinned version of Android 13, and is mostly set up otherwise as it came from the factory.
- I did check that it was actually the software update using up all the data. At least according to the phone's mobile data usage, it is.
- I've checked the system settings and can't find a setting to turn off automatic update downloading (or any settings for system updates at all), just one to keep them from *installing* in developer options.
- Since he's not technically skilled, I won't consider rooting the phone or installing a custom ROM to fix this.
- I've shown him how to manually check for and install updates when connected to wifi, but this doesn't always help (I'm not sure whether he forgets, or whether the software just chooses to update the moment there's one available).
- Getting a different phone, from a company that doesn't think the users are idiots also isn't a good option in his case.
- Turning off mobile data when it's not in use would be equivalent to just letting system updates use up all mobile data.
Is there any other way to keep his data from being used up outside of his control?
