I'm rooted with Android 10 on my pixel4a. I don't want to upgrade to 11 just yet, but I keep getting the annoying update notices. Is there an app or module I can freeze with titanium to turn off the notices?
Wrong forum, dude!
An app from Google Play called "Notification off" did the trick for me on my Sony xz2c.

Because i reported it
I posted a similar question in the correct forum with no replies. The Notification Off app in the Play Store hasn't been updated since 2015.
And anyway, not a normal notification...the full screen one that appears overnight every night. There should be a process that can be blocked or turned off on a rooted phone(?), but I can't find it.
Same question. I don't need a daily reminder that my OS is is out of date.
Testing the below on a Marlin with Android 9 & TRWP backup before I actually try on Sunfish with Android 10.
1. Usb debugging on
2. Computer with adb drivers
Open command window in pc and connect your device and run these commands one by one.
Commands are
Adb devices (for checking device is connected)
Adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm
exit
Done. No more update notification.

Thanks for the tip on the process to look for. I froze it using Titanium Backup and I'll see if that solves it.
EDIT: Freezing that app process does nothing. I froze it and then got another full screen notification a few hours later.
After some trial and error, I think the correct process is Dynamic System Update. I froze that process but I'm still receiving notifications.
I then found that even though the process is disabled in TiBackup, it still has notifications turned on.
Go to Settings/Apps & Notifications
Select see all apps
Top right 3-dots/select show system
Scroll down to Dynamic System Update.
The notification can't be turned off.
I cleared storage and cache for it and restricted battery use.

Could be a Titanium issue..........................no ill effects on the Pixel XL so I removed file with ADB command of pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm on the Pixel 4A..............no update notices overnight..............will report back in a few days to confirm.
Edit: 24 hours I get notice for update............
logcat-entry for that popup seems to be
Code:
START u0 {act=android.settings.SYSTEM_UPDATE_COMPLETE flg=0x10048000 pkg=com.google.android.gms cmp=com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog (has extras)} from uid 10147
on my pixel 4a. sounds a lot like the process described on that other post here, so ..
i’ve gone ahead and disabled that process. fingers crossed.

Thanks for posting this information.
But if it causes some other problems can that be reversed, and if so how?
I originally had hoped for a Tinatiaum freeze solution so that I could easily reverese it if there any problems, but it doesn't seem that anyone has yet found a program that can be frozen that will eliminate the popups.
I'm beginning to suspect that a lot of Apple OS programers have infiltrated Android and are turing Android into Apple little by little, until one day we'll wake up and find that every one has to ask Steve Job's estate for permission to use their phone.

"pm uninstall -kb -user 0 ..." is not permanent (simply 'disables' the executable) and can be easily reversed. A bit of googling will surface procedures.
Enforcing updates and associated reminders is good security hygiene. No evil intent IMHO.

I'm fine with security updates, but unfortunately, the updates always seem to break something that once worked, so I want to wait until the items that weren't supposed to be broken by new security are fixed, And the "evil" part comes from programmers making aesthetic changes for no reason other than someone thinks "this would be nicer if..."

There isn't any "com.google.android.gms" or anything similar in my Titanium list. A search in Titanium for "com.google.android.gms" returns two items: "Google Location History 1.0" and "Google Play...33172415" - is that second one the item I need to freeze? After freezing it I get popups saying "iHeart Radio won't work" and "google maps won't work" and "Pixel launcher won't work", etc, sure enough, they don't work after freezing "Google Play...33172415"

Can't help you there in Titanium but the below works with no ill effects.
Adb devices (for checking device is connected)
Adb shell
su
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
exit
Besides Audio mods and other apps that don"t work with Android11........... another reason to stay on Android10 for now.

Despite the block of the update module in TiBa, I got bitten by it anyway. It downloaded and installed (wrong setting in developer options) on a reboot. I never saw anything. It just happened and now I'm stuck on 11.

I too wish to block auto-updates...and I have a few questions for you...
1) This thread seem to indicate that you need to disable the package " pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog " using ADB and that this package is not visible in TiBa, so did you use ADB, and if not, what did you freeze in TiBa?
2) You also said "(wrong setting in developer options)" - what did you mean by this? I'm asking because I turned that option off in developer settings and I was hoping that would stop the auto-updates.

Hi! I own a Mate 8 and like many others, have this big problem with notifications, especially with emails.
After having tried several firmwares, nothing has changed.
True, the phone has a large autonomy, but .... Who wants a device that lasts 48 hours on, if not fulfill its basic mission?
This I discovered, is not my discovery.
I think I have read all the threads in XDA concerning the issue, and I see that we are all lost in the fog.
Someone (I apologize because I do not remember the thread, or the owner) suggested that with a simple adb command, you could disable Doze, and then, all notifications would arrive immediately.
And it is true !
It is true, though not a definitive solution, because when you turn off the device, the solution is again lose ....
But consider that the method is super simple, and I see it as a possible solution until some brilliant mind, the kind that many see in this forum, to develop an app that automatically run at startup, and not to depend on a PC every time you start the phone.
I would like someone else try this, I've done in my device (AL-10 firmware version B168), and is a radical change in functionality.
I work in sales online, and for me it is vital receive emails instantly.
The steps are simple and absolutely reversible:
NO NEED TO BE ROOT FOR THIS
1- Android SDK installed on the PC
2-Enable "USB debugging" in developer Options
2- Connect the device to the PC with the screen off (I'm not sure if relevant)
3- Go to the installation folder of Android sdk, and then enter in the "Platform tools"
4- Button Shift + right mouse button, and then click on: "open command window here"
5- write "adb devices" to verify that the phone has been detected
6- if it has been detected (the serial number of the device should appear on the command screen), and then, write this new command:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
...then, enter.
Should appear a response such as "idle mode disable" as confirmation.
This command turn off Doze, so the device is "always on alert".
The theory indicates that autonomy should now be affected markedly...
But in my experience it is not so.
As I said, it is a temporary patch... When you turn off the device and turn it on again, these changes are lost (Which also makes reversible)
Maybe someone here, can give us some glimmer of hope with an app that simply run this command automatically (do not know if it is possible without root).
All I can say, based on my experience, is that this works perfectly and do not depend on updates from Huawei ... wich probably never come.
In my case, I never turn off the device except in very unusual conditions. It may depend on this temporary solution until someone give us a hand!
i tryed this solution ( my mate rooted) and app tasker but issues not solved... i don't know why...

My Mate is not root, is a NXT-AL10 untouched, 4Gb ram version, and at least in my case, this patch is perfectly functional.
I have tried several times in an attempt to get it to work after restarting the phone, and that is why I can assure you it works, at least in mine (if not turn off the phone) ..
By the way, just I discovered that if I write:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle
all applications that Doze have in the whitelist, shown on the screen of the PC.
Perhaps some expert knows how to use this information specific to this model.
i tryed many times, but after 30 minutes all notidication are stopped. whatsapp is in white list, but issues not solved.
I've been running my phone for about a week with the dumpsys command and can confirm it's resolved all of my notification issues and I still get 2 days battery life with a fair amount of us. I've not noticed additional battery drain running this command.
I'm the one who found it, by simply analyzing how Doze worked on the phone.
It would be possible to make an app that automatically runs the command upon startup, of course.
You could use something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d&hl=en
But root is necessary to adjust the settings unless you plug in a computer with ADB.
I don't have the phone working anymore (it's bricked) so I can't do much, sorry.
This solution don't work in my case. After a few hours, notifications fail. The only way to get notifications is restart the phone.

I seen someone install greenify and using the app setting white list to avoid the doze issue. Anyone can confirm? No root needed
What helped for me was going into Apps, then Advanced, then Ignore Battery Optimizations and select the apps you want. They will stay open and you should get notifications.
Do you think there is any possibility to execute the command from the phone itself?
Thx

Hi,
My phone is rooted, decrypted and TWRP as a recovery, but still running the stock ROM. I'm looking to disable the notification telling me an OTA update is available. I'm guessing I can't easily upgrade the phone without loosing root or worse? The update isn't really that important to me at the moment. I would just like to disable the notification reminding me all the time. Seems there used to be an easy way of doing this on earlier Android versions, but not on Marshmallow? Or maybe Samsung makes this harder?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Anyone? Would love to be able to dismiss the notification without upgrading.

Why dont you try to freeze the notification with titanium .
I am not sure but try freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent
Try also com.samsung.firmware.nfc com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
I am not rooted but disabled them with package disabler
I think if you freeze them all updating menu doesnt work at all
Thanks, I'll give it a shot soon. I'm waiting for my Micro-SD-card to arrive. Right now, my phone is too full to take a Nandroid-backup. I'd like to take a backup before I freeze the ones you mentioned, just in case.

Freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent did the trick. Well, most of the trick at least. It removed the notification from the pull-down menu, and hence the lockscreen. It didn't remove it from the settings menu. Tried freezing the other three packages as well, but it didn't seem to change anything else. At least not visual. Removing the notification in the settings menu as well would be great, but at least I got rid of the most annoying one.
So again, thanks!
If anyone know of a way to remove the notification in settings (the white large notification "billboard" at the top :laugh: ), let me know..

why dont you try to go to notifications advanced more and show system apps. Maybe you can disable the notification from there. "System" is present there.
I was having the same issue with ota notification. My sprint S7 is not rooted (obviously, lol) so I disabled com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent as you suggested with Package Disabler Pro and it got rid of the notification. Actually, when I disabled com.wssyncmldm the notification went away instantly so not sure if com.sec.android.soagent was necessary but I left it disabled as well.

Sorry about the late reply. If you read earlier in the thread, I used Package Disabler Pro (if I remember correctly). I.e post #9.

Hey guys,
I accidentally started downloading the 7.0 update and quickly stopped it, and have that annoying pop-up as well. I have the China variant of the s7, g9300, and I don't see com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent in the package disabler pro app. So, I'm a bit confused. Anyone have any ideas?!

Did PDP recently revert back to allowing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent to be disabled? My information is the PDP developers made some sort of deal with Samsung to eliminate control of those packages by PDP. And that explanation seems consistent with many folks claiming that the new versions of PDP no longer work to remove the update nags. I know that my PDP installation became ineffective against the many update nags I was encountering each day. It was so frustrating that I uninstalled PDP and replaced it with Note 7 Alliance's Shield package disabler, which worked. But I'm just wondering if PDP works again now as well?

Flash a different modem
Why would that help? It's not related to the problem. Either way, I've flashed a custom ROM. The problem is gone for me.

Sorry for the late response. It seems this may be the case. In fact, if you search the play store PDP does not even show up anymore. Just the "engine" which is not the fully functional app. What's even more strange is PDP does not show up in google play purchase history which seems to happen if they remove the app.
None of my notifications do the normal heads up display on this phone even for the apps that have all options turned on under notifications. The icon just shows in the top bar. How do I fix
You have to enable Banner for the notifications on which you want heads up like notifications. To do this follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Notification panel & status bar
Open Notification centre/manager
Select your app from the list.
Enable Banners for the app you selected.
ENJOY!!
I hope this helps you.
It is like previous Huawei devices with notifications working only for a few selected apps (FB,Twitter,Whatsapp) or they finally fixed the problem and now everyone gets up even without the app being in the background?

add those apps in the protected apps section under battery manager in settings
Then is confirmed how is like other older huawei devices and the app don't get a notification if isn't open in the background even with all permission given?
Notifications are working perfect in every Huawei. Just set them right.
Did you tried protecting the apps?
I've done every step to make apps notifications work, they only work if opened in the background all the time, for some motive apps like twitter or facebook are in a white list who make them enabled to get notifications even when closed but games or unknown apps aren't in it.
I never got a notification from a minor app when it was closed, in 2 years I sue my Honor 8.
Now I discovered is because Huawei put some bull**** battery managment program in the phone who totally kills everything but their apps and some of the most famous and never fixed it.
I was hoping for the most recent devices to have a fix, Emui 5 or something but seems like they haven't changed their policy.
Go in Settings/app/advanced/ignore battery optimisation and add your apps.
Come on guys.

Try manually updating your device by following below steps, your data will get lost so take a backup before.
Download latest firmware of your device.
Extract zip file and put the UPDATE.APP in the root of your external sdcard.
Press all the three hardware keys (Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button) simultaneously.
The update process will start.
You'll have your device like out of the box.
I hope this helps you.

I think Honor is doing some tweaks to clean the background apps so that more RAM stays free, and the battery life gets longer.
If you were on Honor 7 I would have suggested DigiKernel v1.1 as I didn't have any issues of notification after flashing it.
I haven't touched the OS, no root, flash or mods, is clean...and doesn't work, I've heard of how Emui 5 should fix this bug but my device is out the list of the receivers.

OK guys I hope this hasn't already been covered but here goes anyway. I have found this fix for notifications not arriving when doze is enabled. Iff you go into the particular app e.g what's app then into data usage you must select the following settings see pic below. then all the notifications will arrive straight away regardless of doze state.

Yes that seems to be the problem. I had made a post months ago. It's very hidden feature by Lenovo and I think it's wrong to pre-restrict all background data. User should decide what to do.
I think they lenovo did it to block unnecessary data usage but i agree it is not needed and people are thinking their is something wrong with their phones.
Thanks for the tip
Thanks Sam, I saw this on the JJ review of Nougat. Is this for Nougat as my MM P2 settings don't look like the screenshot.

Hi yes it is for Nougat the comment posted on JJs review regarding this fix was posted by me also.
Confusing settings these as the first one makes it look like enabling the "Restrict background data" option will disable background data, when in fact it does the opposite. You need to have both of these options enabled so the sliders are green, then you need to open Settings > Power Manager > Battery Optimization
Then you need to search for the apps that you need to fix notifications and change the option so it says "Don't optimize". Then the phone won't 'helpfully' close the app when the phone has been unused for a long time. This is why notifications are stopping.
precisely i agree quite confusing it took me a while i had to get a friend to send me whats app messages continuously untill i figured all this out but im glad i finally did.
If you make the changes to fix the notifications, shut down and power the phone back on rather than do a reboot. The settings don't seem to work until the phone has properly rebooted.
Is it worth noting that elsewhere it's stated that turning off doze altogether (using ADB) might be a saner option? Consensus seems to indicate it's basically a curse with little value, and that would certainly hold water in light of the battery capacity of the P2.

Guys, to avoid having to run the ADB command after each reboot follow these instructions (please note, the files should be downloaded to a PC and then transferred to your phone via USB otherwise they mess up sometimes):
You need to enable USB debugging mode in Developer options first
Download and install this apk and transfer it to your phones storage - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxD...w?usp=drivesdk
Then connect phone to PC and allow the drivers to install
Download and install ADB here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0M...ljU2NPR0k/view
Go into the ADB folder, hold shift, right click and select "Open command prompt here"
Type the command: adb devices (now hit enter)
It should return your phones serial number is connected correctly
Run this command in ADB: adb -d shell pm grant com.adamioan.scriptrunner android.permission.DUMP (now hit enter)
Download this file and transfer it to your phones storage - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx...VA4YmxGTS1OX3c
Open the SH Script runner app and tap the three dots in the top right corner, select "Load" and locate the file from teh previous step
Click the Circle button with the play sign at the top of the screen
You should see the message "Idle mode disabled" which means that Doze has now been disabled.
Whenever you reboot your phone, open the SH Script runner and the command will still be there, just click the play button to run the script again.
And that is it, two clicks to disable Doze after each reboot.
Full credit to manototh for putting this together originally.
Doze does not need disabling iff you follow my advice in the initial post i have tried and tested this and can confirm it works fully.
This is really frustrating. No matter what settings I use I still don't get notifications after a while. I don't want to go modifying my phone, can someone post a step by step if they have it working properly?

Follow my ordinal post and also go into battery optimisation and disable optimization for things like sms eggs what's app Facebook etc all the things you need notifications for should be disabled from sleep mode under battery optimization.

Yes thats exactly how I've done it. I've also tried every combination of settings under Apps for Unrestricted data usage.
And also the setting here

Yep doesn't work either.
Perhaps your only option left is to try the disable doze app which has worked for many people but it's a paid app.
Just to update it does seem to be working properly now. I'm not 100% sure but I think turning the phone all the way off and on again instead of rebooting with the settings correct had the desired effect.
The phone stopped getting push notifications until after the app is opened (groupme). Any way to fix that?
No one else had experienced this? It's really bad. No notifications from group messaging apps

Go to settings, battery, battery optimization and ensure your concerned app is showing you "don't optimize".
Try this and lemme know
I did that already. I searched and saw that that was supposed to be the solution.....but not working for me
In the same settings there is an advanced optimise (top right ... Button)
Make sure that's not ON

Did that too....it's a mystery.
Getting delayed notifications too. Particularly with WhatsApp. Can't work it out.

this device faces network drops, often not recognized if an app wouldn't show an alert like FB messenger.
these drops are mostly responsible for missed pus messages because the device is not ready at the moment the push happens and it will not be repeated every few seconds (delay)
even worse if one is using several devices, of which one is i.e. at home and the other on the road. while a the working device will receive the push notification the OP6 would not ( you can check for network drops where it shows the IP number, it happens on wifi as well as data and both wifi frequencies BTW.)
so in the last case the message will never arrive because it's delivered, (to the working device at home) and hence no more push attempt will happen until next message arrives.
i and others posted this in OP support, as mentioned above, open you network settings and watch the IP number, it will disappar and re-appear.
also you can use FB messenger where you will frequently see an orange bar saying "connectin" intermittently with a green bar saying "connected"
of course i dunno if that happens on EVERY device but at least it happens on MANY including mine.
since i'm always having 2 phones on man i'm receiving all mails and messages on at least on of the two which also illustrates quite well how often a push will reach one of my various other devices but miss the OP6.
Go to OP support and report the issue if you face it, that way they get aware of the full scale of the issue.
Yep, notifications are patchy for me. Sometimes they arrive on time, other times they arrive but silently without triggering the alert sound. Other times they only arrive after waking the phone up.
And yes, I've set to not optimise these apps and turned off advanced optimisation. It's a bug I reckon, hopefully fixed in 5.1.6
Well, somehow it's working...for now. I did a few things. I updated the Groupme app. I think I changed the notifications from urgent to high. Something worked

Yeah I've mine set to urgent also, but no real difference. Simple things at this stage for a company like Oneplus, that should not be an issue
I've been having the same issue. Some apps work fine and some don't give me notifications until I actually open the app and refresh it. One is Power Facebook and the other is my visual voicemail app. It's highly annoying as I use the phone for business too. Disabling then in battery optimizations does nothing.
If you have advanced optimization turned on in Battery settings, it will prevent a lot of apps that need to do things in the background from working. It will definitely affect push notifications. I have it on but I've exempted a bunch of apps I want running.
Oops, n/m, see this was discussed already.
I'm not sure if it was switching the notification from urgent to high that did it but it was the last thing I did before it started working....it did go back to urgent by itself afterwards though...notifications still working now
..guys any other facing this issue? Even after update to pie stable recently.. I get this problem, notifications arrive to every other device except op6. When i unlock the phone only then notification arrives...all battery optimizations are off..
any solutions?
I got the same issue with Threema. None of the mentioned settings worked for me.
Any ideas?
Same problem for me. Super annoying. Is this an oxygen os or android problem? Would installing a custom ROM help?
It's the DOZE feature in android that is causing the delay in receiving notifications. Setting an app to "Don't Optimize" does not help; this used to work on nougat when I was using HTC U11 but this does not work in Oneplus 6 PIE.
Run the command below in ADB to completely disable DOZE.
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The down side is that it will reset to "enable" after reboot so you will need to run the command, again, after rebooting. To get around this, I use Automagic to execute command "dumpsys deviceidle disable" after reboot. You can use Tasker for this, too.
After disabling DOZE, push notifications are received almost immediately. I often see notification for the same message on both my PC and phone.

Even using this i still do not get notifications i disabled every battery saving function.. I think it is time for a factory reset
