I'm currently running a Rooted version of 4.1.B.0.431 Generic Global (with Unlocked Bootloader) on my LT15i Arc. And today I received an OTA notification telling me that .587 was available to me, so I attempted to update (not too fussed if I loose Root).
But it failed on every occasion I tried (just like last week when I tried to update via the PC Companion)... So I thought I'd give up and ignore the update Notification.
But it's now stuck on my Notification Bar telling me I have an update (even after rebooting 3 times!!)... I've gone into the "Software Update" and told it not to Notify me but it keep doing so!!..
I'm not fussed about updating, as I quite like having Root, and don't want to go through the rigmarole of doing it again!!. :silly:
How do I remove the 'Update Notification' from the bar (it's taking up room!! ), Will it dissapear on it's own, or is there a tool/procedure available to remove it??
Cheers
Sim :fingers-crossed:
Nae Probs I finded it!!...
Menu> Settings> Apps > All > Update Center > Clear data
Hopefully it won't bother me again!!
If it does come back, since your rooted, you could just delete the update center apk in the systems folder.
It will never bother you again
If it does then root explorer or similar search "update" then delete the .apk's

Cheers Doods!!..
It came back... again... and again... and again... and again...
So I got a copy of 'Root Uninstaller' and Backed up the App (you never know) and 'Dissabled' it rather than uninstalling! :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys,
I've been trying to update my phone OTA but it keeps saying "Could not update".
The phone downloaded the update, turned off the phone and started updating just to reboot and tell me that it couldn't update.
Do any of you have an idea why this is happening?
Phone details:
Rooted Arc 2.3.3;
3.0.1.A.0.145;
UK Generic (I don't live in the UK though).
I'd appreciate any help, dying to try the new update
Thanks in advance!
Maybe you deleted or disabled some system apps?

I haven't deleted anything other than bloatware off my Arc.
The apps I've deleted were mentioned in the "List of system apps" thread as "Safe to remove".
Other than that.. I've installed Supercharger...
make sure that no manager apps is running, if you still cant find any updates go to manage apps in settings - applications and force stop or clear data and you should get newest updates. Sometimes the downloading bar isnt changing for a few minutes because the server cant get an instant connection.

If you have modded contents, OTA will fail. This applies to removal of any "system" applications. ("system"=that can't be uninstalled via normal method. "root" is required to uninstall such applications).
Hope this helps.

Thanks, it updated properly now!
I've UnSupercharged the device and put all of the system apps back into place.
Can't wait to play around with it .
Hello there!
I am using .145 and when I click Update now, it keeps saying that I am using the latest software.
Please help! I want to update to .368.
Many thanks!!!

You must wait for your firmware region to be relesead OTA or flash another to your phone. See: General section of the Arc forum, the sticky thread on top -Index of Neo and Arc firmware.
Ps. Most new firmware has been released via PCC, try it!
Forgot to disable OTA updates and my phone downloaded it and now I have this notification that doesn't go away. Looked around using ES file browser but I can't find the location out the OTA file so I can delete it.
Anyone know the location of the OTA?

I'm one of the dummies that half-asleep clicked on the OTA update and am now softbricked. In looking around the potential solution threads I saw that long pressing the notification should dismiss it. Just a warning, I haven't tried fixing my phone as of yet, so I'm not sure if this advice is right.

That sucks. Look for "I softbricked my T-Mobile G3" under the questions thread. I think there's 2 fixes in there if you haven't checked yet. Idk if they'll work for you but worth a try if haven't seen them yet.
I read an adb fix somewhere that supposedly came from the G2 forums that supposedly worked too.
Good luck!
I'm just going to wait to find the location to delete, don't want to try and ling click and some kind of earthquake or something happen and end up just single clicking it. Lol

Yeah I saw the adb fix for the G2 and was hoping to have someone confirm that it is fine for the G3 too. I don't see why it wouldn't be, but I don't want to dig myself into a deeper hole.
Hope you find your answer!

You can freeze Update Center from Titanium Backup and that notification will go away. Forever.

There are 3 tgings for you to freeze
Software Update
Update Center
App Updates
I had the same problem thats a solid fix and should be working on every occasion like that.
Long press on the notification to enter app info and from there turn off notifications
I just use "notification off" app > uncheck googleplayservices > to hide the annoying notification.
Hello, I have this weird thing after trying to update to V30c... I received OTA (~230mb), downloaded and pressed to install but nothing happens, it just reboots the phone without performing the upgrade. So what I did connected it to PC and updated via LG mobile tool don't know why but the size was (1.3GB) unfortunately after upgrading I still receive the notification which I don't need as I already upgraded via PC... Anyone knows how to solve this?
If you're rooted, you can use the 'disableService' app from playstore. Then System / Google Play Services / SystemUpdateService, uncheck it. Problem solved.

Only it doesn't solve the problem. Just froze it with TB, but the notice persists. D851 stock MM V30D rooted. Also have SystemUpdateService disabled via app disableService from playstore, which got rid of the OTA notices for OS versions, but won't disable this compatibility patch notification.
EDIT: Notification gone now, probably had to reboot for it to evaporate.
EDIT2: Came back a day or so later, so that method was a no-go for me. Didn't want to try the long press to see if it could be dismissed via option presented in response to that action
I am running skydragon rom and unfortunately my phone downloaded an LG system update. I did not install it, but i do want to delete it and remove the reminder... Plus it's stopping me from installing some of the LG apps that have been removed...
How can this be accomplished. Thanks.
Wow.. Anybody.
I'm not sure on the location of the update, but for me, I just pulled down the notification panel, long pressed the Update notification, clicked on App Info, then unchecked notifications, clicked ok to confirm, then checked it back on.
That removed the persistent notification for the T-Mobile system update, hasn't shown up since in about 3 days time.
I tried that... It worked for a few hours then it came back.
You can always leave it unchecked, but I'm not sure what other apps use Play Services for their updates or other.
That's my worry. I think a lot of other apps use play services.

Apparently many people have said that you can disable the updates by getting into the hidden menu by typing this in the dialer: 3845#*851#
Click on WLAN Test
Go to OTA
Disable
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I hope it works for you. I accidentally downloaded the LG update as well, but for some reason the update notification is still there. super annoying!

If your rooted, you can use a root explorer and delete the update.zip file in the /cache folder. That will take care of any auto update when you reboot your phone.
Since I'm running stock, I also froze the following apps with Titanium Backup:
App Updates 4.20.100
ConfigUpdater 4.4.2-940549
LGSetupWizard 4.3.020
Update Center 4.20.100
I get a notice once in a while when I go to wifi, but I noticed that the update is no longer downloaded to the /cache folder after freezing the apps above.

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.
Sent from XDA app via my LG G3 D851.
OK, today I received an android update notification for something that's 87.1 mb. I have a D851 running SR Lollipop G3 v. 4.0 (krowley3). I have OTA disabled in the engineering menu. I checked the cache and there's no file there yet. So... Does anyone know what this is, how it got around the engineering menu ota disable, and the easiest way to turn off the notification? *I long pressed the notification and it showed as Google Play services?? Now I'm really confused. Any thought? Thanks in advance.
Alright, I think I answered part of my question. I went and read the T-Mobile update information on 20e and it shows a 87.1 mb download. I wouldn't have thought it to be that small, but it is. So that leaves me with wanting to get rid of the notification nagging me every time I turn on the phone. Thanks in advance for your help.

Using a root explorer like ES File Explorer go to /cache/ folder and delete the update.zip file. Reboot your phone. If the notification is still there go back to /cache/ folder and make sure that file is not there. Then just take the OTA and it should error out because the zip file you deleted. The notification should be gone after booting up your phone again. But make sure you DELETE the UPDATE.ZIP before accepting the update from the notification.
This thread here by Autoprime should help you if my method doesn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
Went through the thread then went through the system files looking for anything obviously related to fota etc. , but nothing popped out that I felt comfortable modifying. I never downloaded the update so cache was empty. I eventually long pressed the notification (google Play services) and unchecked notifications. It got rid of notification. I guess I'll probably have manually check to update any apps, but I'll gladly take that over the never ending notification. Thanks again to all for the responses/help.
