Hi! My HTC Wildfire S became laggy so i decided to do a hard reset.
After doing that, i'm stuck with a few problems:
1) My Android version is 2.22.405.1. When i search for system
updates, it says, that my phone is up to date. I read, that
2.3.5 is officialy available, i'd like to have at least 2.3.3, but first
i'd just like to get notice, that update is available. I resetted the phone
few more times, but every time there are no updates.
2) I entered gmail account with market and it found updates for gmail and
market... but all downloads are paused?
Any help please?
TY
Oh yes.. and upper notification tab... it's gone! I can't pull
the bar down anymore.
Anyone?...
Download an official ruu and run it.

hello guys, i downgraded for 4.1.1 revolution hd this week, but system update notification keep appearing everytime. i already tried fotakill.apk method, but after reboot update still appears. so what is the best method to disable this?
thanks
Use a custom ROM that does it's job like it should; you should never receive a OTA update notification while on a custom ROM.

Im currently running a rooted Nexus 5 with PA 4.2-BETA5, of course with Android 4.4.2
Guess its time to update now, and 4.4-RC1 just came out, but im certainly not secure how to proceed.
Right now, in my phone im getting alerts that, from one side PA 4.4-RC1 is available but also i have notifies of the Stock Android version 4.4.3 is ready to download and install...
Which one should i install? should i apply the Stock 4.4.3 first and then the OTA PA 4.4? or just the OTA PA 4.4?
i also heard that im suposed to flash the radio/modem, is that true? if so, can someone please clarify?
Sorry if all these sound n00b questions but im not familiar with this yet.
Regards
You can't apply a stock ota on top of a ROM and our system alert is telling you there is a ROM update. I don't see how you can get an alert from google about an update.

Simply because the default google update check was not disabled by Paranoid, and 4.4.3 was pushed so the notification came in.
Looks like PA team forgot to remove that check

The system update section is tied into the ota app...
We have never gotten any notifications of google ota

Well, what can i say? i got it, and it was there for the last 3 days, annoying, since it cant even be disabled
a workaround was the disable the notification of google play services, which i did
I heard same stuff happened to CM rom were users where getting the default google stock notification about 4.4.3 being ready to download.
now i have updated to PA 4.4-RC1 and everything is fine.
And you didn't happen to catch a screenshot? Obviously if there is something we missed in the update section we want to clear it up....

I did not take any screenshot, sorry, but i can guarantee you it was the default room notification, a new system update is available, bla bla bla, 4.4.3 press the download button to start, and i also recall that the size was something like 93MB, 93.xx , cant remember the last 2 digits.
I never had a chance to look into the PA source code, but at least in the 4.2-beta5 which was the build i had running yesterday the default google OTA check was not disabled, and we all know that google release it so its normal to get the notification
I assume it would be just a matter of flash a device with PA 4.2-beta5 and give it a try, i was using hammerhead, a nexus 5 device...
Here's my story. i had the new update brick my phone. i managed to backdate it to the I317UCUCNJ1 that worked previously, only for it to start begging for an update again and brick again i backdated once more, then deleted everything i could for the updates. now the Phone wont update, but it notify's me every damn day, several times, to get the update. i click ok and it just closes out, but how can i get this off
the problem is, the phone is rooted and it keeps bricking. if i flash it back to the previous version, what are my options? i've never had success with triangle away and i'd hate to really do some damage. its time for a new phone soon but i'm holding on to the 2 for now.
thanks for any help
If the phone is rooted...
Download the pro version of titanium backup from the play store....and freeze the software update apk from within titanium backup....and done...
The free method would be too locate the update apk and delete it using a root explorer app....
Either way....those nag screens for an update will stop...
Note:
UCUCNJ2 Update provides a partial patch for the stagefright exploit..
It is assumed that Samsung and ATT will be releasing another patch to fully isolate the stagefright bug...
If you want to stay fully protected....you could use an AOSP rom such as cyanide or CM 12.1 official as they are already fully patched.....but I'm not sure what OS you prefer...
I use both cyanide and CM12.1 official as I don't like bloated Samsung roms....g

Best thing to do after an update is to reset your phone, I reccomend hard reset, first backup all your files (contact list, photos, videos etc.) on your laptop/pc or flash drive, then do the hard reset of your phone. If the same problem appears after hard reset, you will have to flash your ROM again.
If you switched from MM to N, best you can do is a full clean new install. Also flash pico Gapps and if you need more Google apps download them from Play Store. For D855 is mandatory to flash v21C modem before flashing the Rom, not sure for other variants.
