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

What is the preferred procedure when I get notifications on my upper tool bar from PlayStore saying "Updates Available"? Does everyone update automatically or do U wait to see comments from others to see if there are any conflicts? Currently I have it set where it notifies me and not automatic updates.

I just leave it set to auto-update and not even notify me - life is too damn short to worry about it.
Hello guys, i have Android 5.1.1 and i keep getting the message telling me to update to android 6.0
The thing is that i don't want to update.
Is it any way to prevent this message to keeps appearing?
It's so annoying.
Hope anyone can help me!
Disable the Motorola apps that can be disabled. I think it might be the Motorola notify app. Going off memory because I haven't used stock for a while, but you can disable most of the Moto apps without root.
Simple buddy. Don't disable anything since you are on tock ROM it can break some functionalities.
What you have to do it restart(optional) your phone(its only to get you that update notification) or wait until next pop-up appears as soon as pop-up appears(not so much hurry BTW) press and hold that notification from the notification panel then it's up to you if you have to block the notification or disable the app which causes the notification to pop-up.
Press Thanks if it did helped...

The way that worked for me and a lot of others is by using an app called SD Maid to disable a service on your phone called Motorola Update Services.
Check out this thread over at AC..

That said, I did end up deciding to update to 6.0, and I have zero problems with it.

Why don't update?
I wasn't happy with Nougat and decided to go back to Marshmallow, now I am on MM and everytime I turn on wifi the Nougat update starts downloading. Restarting phone didn't help.
There is no option either to stop it.
Isn't there an option in Developer settings?

No, not there either. Is there any way without rooting the device?
Anyone figure this out?! Can't get notification to go away. Ugh. Please help!

The only way I have been able to disable the update is to download the "BK Disabler App" along with "BK Plugin". It will allow you to disable the update as well as take away the notification at the top. The only thing that will show is there will be a Software update dialog box at the top of your settings menu when you go into settings. Otherwise you will never be notified of it again and wont have to worry about it downloading or updating when you set your phone down.
You will need to go to the top right corner of the app and search for "update" and check these 3 items:
com.sec.android.soagent
com.wssyncmldm
com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
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
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.
