[Q] System update is available

So, last week my phone received a system update, which I didn't apply (running leedroid rom) and now I can't get rid of the 'a system update is available' notification. Is there anyway to clear this off without applying the update?

yes there is. go to settings->about phone->system software updates-> uncheck the scheduled check, confirm and you are ready to go.

That's the first thing I tried, it doesn't get rid of the existing notification.

just do that and reboot then. i have never had a notification after unchecking that.

I was pretty sure I'd already done that, but just tried it again (checked that the scheduled check is disabled and rebooted) and the notification comes back when the phone restarts.

did you downloaded but not applied? the onle thing left.

Go to manage your apps and clear the cache for the updater service/app that should fix it as I had the same problem

Mine's simfree, unrooted and on stock firmware too...

Ok, the notification was still there so thought i would try the update via my PC, it failed on numerous occasions so i gave up.
The notification is still there though

Just force close the app. It's a temp solution that would need to be repeated each time you reboot your phone.

Why don't you freeze the update service in titanium backup, no pesky notification and you can defrost it when a new update comes out

Also its only on the paid version now. Unless you have 3.99 to get it you won't be able to freeze. I don't know why they took that feature away from us the stingy b**tards. I have the same problem but I just did it a different way. I made a backup using TB and then uninstalled it using TB. nd now is all good. Why take the freeze feature. Not everyone has 3.99 to spare now days. Especially when we have bills and shopping to pay. Grrrrrrr

I think links2sd has the option to freeze apps and if I remember correctly it's free

U can freeze update center. I did that using Titanium
EDIT: just for the record, this requires root

Hi,
it seems there is another way.
Just disable all internet connection, and accept the update.
So nothing happend, and you can cancel the progress, make a reboot and these message disappears
thanks

MMS not working on go sms?

Ok so i have been using go sms pro for about month now and recently i got tired of receiving double messages and lockscreen notificcations so i decided to make a titanium backup of it and uninstall it so i wouldnt have that problem anymore. Now I am having problems receiving sms because thats uninstalled im pretty sure as now i remember that go sms relies on the stock app to get mms but when i went to reinstall it soehow the backup isnt there anymore i guess i deleted it without knowing or something so now am i out of luck. What can i do, could someone just upload the stock messaging app and i download it and install it or what do i do now?
Thanks in advance.

Im an Android noob but even I wouldn't have made this mistake. the Galaxy S III has a feature to let you hide apps so there's no reason to delete them. also, Go SMS has a setting that lets you disable stock app so you don't get double messages.
Finally, all you need to do is restore your device back to factory.

Positive you deleted it and didn't just disable it? Or did you remove it with Titanium?
If you go Settings > Apps > All, disabled apps are near the bottom, not in the alphabetical list.

What app is sending you these notifications? File Manager? App Manager?
Hold down on the notification until you see a bell and an i. Hit the i to get information.
There should be a box that says notifications on the app info... Uncheck that. Reboot the phone and see if it appears again (It shouldn't).

Hold down on the notification in your tray until you see a bell and an i enclosed in a circle. Hit the i to get app information.
Then uncheck the box for notifications from that app. Reboot and see if it pops up again.

If you're on Lollipop:
Hold down on the notification and get the info. Make sure it's unchecked (Could be a different app sending that one).
If it's already unchecked:
Go to your settings and find "Notification Manager". Enter this and hit "App notifications". Find the app that sent the above notification and tap on it. Now you can adjust it and set priorities and whatnot. For this, block notifications from it.
This may block notifications for system updates as well, but you can still check it manually. Plus, system updates don't happen very often so not seeing it won't really matter.
EDIT: Misunderstood what you meant... I underlined what to do in your case.
Edit 2: I'm running a custom ROM and that's how I would do it in my case. I failed to remember that the stock ROM may not have added these features, so you can also do this (for sure) but going to your settings and hitting apps, then scrolling over to all. Find the app manager (or whatever app uses the same icon as the one sending you the notifications) and click on it. Now you can uncheck the displaying of notifications from it.

Read that^^^
Also, unchecking notifications from "Google Service Framework" may remove notifications for these type of updates.
If you are rooted and already have SuperSU you can download Titanium backup and uninstall any app from your phone. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME APPS ARE IMPORTANT. Also, make sure you backup the file before removing it via titanium (backup through titanium backup) in case you for some reason need it back. This may or may not remove the prompt to update the app, but way back when (if I remember correctly) it did for me.

Glad to hear it! If you ever have any more questions feel free to PM me.
Also, I would highly recommend you try out a free app called "LG Tweaks Box". It'll make your phone feel so much better and have tons of customization!

I'm not sure if this even/still applies but when I was on KitKat (LG G3 2GB) I rooted my device then used either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer File Manager and looked in the data\op folder on device and deleted anything I didn't want (mainly anything carrier related which was all of the H3G_COM folder (30 items) as it was a 3 UK handset) then reflashed firmware and wiped device and I have never had any apps forced on me since, i've even disabled auto restore of apps from Google Play on first sign in so I can be choose what I wanted installed at each reflash/wipe.
Back up the OP folder first as It is handy for later if ever needed
Again not sure if this even/still applies
Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply
But sorry to say that my Data/Op folder has no Carrier APPs
i have done a full search on phone an just cant find the junk
i still have a message saying i have 15 APPs to update even with APP update frozen with RootUninstaller

Try installing them then using titanium backup to remove them completely including all files.
