I'm new to the HTC One section -- visiting to check on an issue for my son who just got his One a month ago. Apologies if this has already been discussed in another thread -- I searched and didn't see anything about this.
My son noticed that there's now a persistent notification (on the notification shade, of course) that indicates that Device Manager is running. I've never seen this on my other devices with Android Device Manager running -- not on my LG G2, Galaxy Nexus, Moto X's (wife and daughter), Nexus 7's or Nexus 10. Just on the HTC One, and just in the last day or so (probably right after a recent update).
The notification can't be swiped away, and I don't see any options in the app itself to turn notifications on/off. We'd really like to be able to turn this off if possible.
Any ideas / suggestions most appreciated.

I had this issue when I manually updated to the latest 4.3 OTA .. If thats what happened here then this worked for me:
Go to settings
Software Update
Check new
It should ask to install update, say "Install Now"
That should fail, because you are already on the latest OTA

Thanks! Worked perfectly. :good:
Hey guys- in poking around with my phone in the first 24 hour of ownership, I found that the software status says "modified", instead of "official". Stopped in the local vzw store that I bought it through, and they had nothing for me. Had me take my sd card out and restart. Stayed the same(surprise), so they emailed their own tech support and I havent heard from them since. I do have dev options showing, but I have also heard that some folks have official with dev options activated.
Anyone else have a "modified" software status? Any idea what could be modified?
Just checked mine, same thing. Modified. I do not have dev options active.
The NSA is really slipping up.

Definitely was a thought! Until I can find out what is modified, I dont really want to get another one.
Yeah probably Verizon changing it out of the box

I have a VS986 and it says "Official" under "Software Status."
Mine says modified. Any apps frozen/disabled? Wondered if that's what it was on my end.

Mine is the same way, Modified right from the get go.
I'm thinking that covers the basics of what we could have done without root. Modified sub forum! Lol
I have a TON of disabled apps and mine says "Official".
Pre Ordered and shipped from Verizon.
Mine also says Official. Maybe we can start looking into differences here..Does anyone that says modified have screen tapping issues? Or any other issue?
Its a reach..I know.
Mine says Official (blue from Best Buy )
Mark me down as modified. Metallic gray prettier preordered from Best Buy... haven't even activated it yet, but have disabled all the Verizon bloat.
Edit...I do have Developer Options enabled.
Apps disabled...
Caller Name ID
Cloud
DT Ignite
Message+
My InfoZone
My Verizon Mobile
NFL Mobile
Support & Protection
Verizon Location Agent
Verizon Login
VZ Navigator
Best Buy pre order and mine says official
I would try a factory reset if it says modified
Modified here. Software version 10B, Build LMY47D. Phone was shipped directly from VZW.

I would say that I may have screen tapping issues(modified). Its enough to notice, but it will always work on the second tap. I dont know if its me fat fingering the thing.
Root developers are saying don't take the updates. Few people are reporting that the updates made anything better. Don't take the updates if you can help it.
Follow the instructions below, and report back with your phone info (carrier, variant, software version, etc.). Also report if updates were successfully blocked, or if they installed anyway, or if you just get a nag screen. Thanks!
If your phone has already downloaded the update and is trying to install it, follow the advice here. This won't work for AT&T phones because they removed recovery mode.
Start here:
Get debloater (works without root!) and set up your computer so you can run ADB and connect with your phone. You may need to install the LG United Mobile Driver.
Please donate to the Debloater developer, gatesjunior! Debloater has made this so much easier!
There are many packages you can block that will improve the performance and battery life of your phone (see my blocked.txt below), but the packages you want to block that will hopefully prevent updates are:
LGDMSClient.apk (Blocking breaks WiFi calling setup on Sprint only.)
LGUpdateCenter.apk
LGFOTA.apk Two users reported calls going straight to voicemail with this blocked.
LGLDB.apk I don't know if it's related to updates but it seems to be MLT spyware.
Not all carriers will have all these files, but block what you do have and report any problems so I can update this post with what works and what doesn't
Carrier specific files:
Sprint users may want to block:
Sprint_Installer.apk
ItsOnService.apk
ItsOnUID.apk
Tierez reported that blocking the ItsOn files breaks WiFi. They also reported that blocking LGDMSClient.apk broke the WiFi calling setup screen.
Verizon users should block:
VerizonIgnite.apk, It's a post-sale bloatware installer. Thanks alan242!
@JeffXT inadvertently blocked a Verizon file that enabled tethering.
AT&T users should block:
WildTangent.apk
T-Mobile users should block:
AdaptClient.apk
This will break the software update screen in about phone and so far has prevented my phone from trying to update. My AT&T H810 hasn't tried to update and I can't force it to update since I blocked LGDMSClient.apk, but it seems we can't be too safe in preventing forced updates so leave no questionable package unblocked!
Something I also did during setup was to not agree to the optional LG EULA that would have allowed app updating. I've also blocked:
LGStartupEula.apk
LicenseProvider.apk
UnifiedEULA.apk
Don't block LGSystemServer.apk, it breaks notifications and other stuff (LED, sound, and vibration).
Autoprime is listing which software versions are updating the firmware to V1 here.
Good luck!
Don't block LGSystemSetup.apk or LGSetupWizard.apk! You'll need it to run if there phone gets reset. Ignore the blocked.txt file below.

After seeing the mysterious "security enhancements" mentioned in the AT&T release notes on the July 1st update I think it's important to prevent further updates incase they break future rooting methods. Also, why take their update if it's not shown to improve performance? Come on! There's an update to Uber, but no mention of touch screen fixes?!
FIrst, get debloater (works without root!)and set up your computer so you can run ADB and connect with your phone. You may need to install the LG United Mobile Driver.

Just a quick heads up (might just be me, might be US Cellular in general....I am not sure) I went through and did this after hearing about different companies basically force feeding their clientel these OTA Updates and even though I did it all right down to the letter and did not skip anything my US991 still went ahead and did a forced update to 10c (not sure why or even when it did this, just know that it did at some point).
Hopefully they are not blocking any exploits with this stupid 10c update (which I assume they did as my device was running buttery smooth and had no issues that would have needed an update in order to correct).

Sorry to hear it didn't prevent your update.
I've added more files to block, and one to unblock in the OP.

No worries, it just is what it is (yeah I was angry about it, but not like I can do anything about it). I will certainly go through and block the rest of the applications that you mentioned though so hopefully I can prevent any future aggravations caused by these damn self-updates. Thanks for posting how you went about it and letting us know that (so far at least) it is going according to plan.
Holy Cow! I thought T-Mobile was bad with the bloat but jeez....AT&T makes our bloat look like....well, I dunno it's still bloat, but we've got a LOT less of it lol. I use the debloater tool, but UX 4.0 isn't that bad by its self. I removed all the T-Mo stuff and that's about it.
Thanks!

Did removing the TMobile bloat affect wifi calling?
G4'ed it!
Not at all, less lag and a bit smoother. Battery lasts longer since apps that drain the battery are disabled. Just be smart about what you disable. It has a search feature, so I'll search for say "tmo" any apk or service with that search term in it will show up in the list, disable it and move on to the next apk/service. You dont even need to reboot, you can watch them get disabled in real time.
I just bought my second G4, trying the phone again. It is another Verizon model.
People raised interesting points about holding off on updates, in case it makes root more difficult, so I got the Debloater tool (that is awesome!) and tried to block the items listed in the original post.
With Verizon, I don't see an entry for "LGUpdateCenter.apk", so I could not block that one. I hope the remaining 5 will be enough to keep the update at-bay for now.
phineous, that's an interesting point about the optional LG EULA. I agreed to something from LG during initial setup today, I guess I didn't give any real thought to not agreeing.
I have not yet applied anyone's complete Debloater list, I guess I'm not quite brave enough for that just yet. I only went through and disabled things I could identify and knew I wouldn't need at the moment.
How many apks does the AT&T G4 have? My Tmobile has 273.
Replacing my earlier post, to avoid confusion: Verizon messed up something on my line. After a day, they got it fixed, and now I can use Advanced Calling on my G4, still with the original software (having not gotten the recent update). Everything seems to be working now.

What's your Baseband Version and Build number? I'm buying the Verizon G4 this Saturday and would like to know if I have the OTA out of the box.

I don't remember how many it came with originally, but I've blocked 85 out of a total of 297. I've probably installed about 57. I would guess around 240 originally.

Don't let the salesperson set up the phone! They seem to delight in downloading updates. I'd keep the phone off or at least disable WiFi till I could connect it to a computer and Debloat it.
Good luck!

Yeah, that's the plan. I'd just like a frame of reference so I know if all my efforts to prevent the OTA work or if I was defeated before I even got the phone.

Wow 85 is such a relief I blocked just 34. At least it does not get high temps now.T-mobile seems to add much lesser bloat indeed. My 273 include around 40 downloaded apps.

See attached. I believe the item of interest, relative to the OTA, is the Software Version. The new one (updated) ends in 611A, I think.
They did a brief setup at Best Buy for me. I Factory Reset when I got home, then Debloated the items that would start the update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-prevent-updates-g4-t3148650
But it wasn't until the next day, after another Factory Reset, that I forgot to Debloat those immediately, and had turned on the WiFi. I noticed when the update was halfway downloaded. Turned off WiFi, and turned on Airplane Mode, until I was able to Debloat the offending items.
No updates stuff since then, several days ago, even with WiFi on.

Look at how sneaky the carriers are now! It's a good thing the devs are being quiet about their root method.

If you talking about persistent Notifications, in Phone Notifications. (drop down) this is what i use from time to time.
I just use the free option/advert.
Works fine. No issues.
See screenshots.
Good luck
Link to Play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification
I package block Playstore, Galaxy Updates and especially AT&T updates.
They all muck around in the background.
I enable them only when I want/need to. Makes it easier to spot an update caused problem too. Plus you can wait to see if other people's phone implode from a bad update.
I'm still using the original factory loaded apps in some cases including Google because of update issues on my 10+... running on Pie.
Works well... auto-updates, destroyer of worlds.
I just updated to the new T-mobile October update today and ever since then, I have a constant notification from "Carrier Hub" that says "Processing requests" and "MCM Client requests are processing...". My research shows this is a Sprint app, and I am a Sprint customer, but this SIM is a T-mobile SIM because it is all becoming T-mobile and the Sprint network is being shut down in January. It won't allow me to uninstall the app. Before the update, I would occasionally see the notification for a second or two before it went away, but now this is constant. It can't be swiped away. I can tell it to not give notifications, but since it can't be found in Settings or apps, in the future I won't be able to undo that setting. It seems to say it isn't using up battery, thankfully, but I don't know why it isn't processing whatever requests. Seems like there have been these issues with it for over a year on others' phones.
Anyone else have this issue after the new update? Anyone know how to fix it? (A factory reset is NOT an option.)

I'm on T-Mobile and have the same issue. I disabled the carrier hub service notification and that stopped the notification from appearing. I am able to access the app when I enable "show system apps" from the filter and sort menu of the apps menu under settings.

Thank you!! I just disabled the notification. Thankfully, it still says it has used 0% battery after running for 6 hrs. 45 min., so it doesn't affect battery life somehow, but I don't know if affects our signal or what.

Hopefully it gets sorted out with the next update. I'm not going to worry about it for now as it doesn't seem to be affecting anything. Just happy to get rid of the annoying notification.

I turned it off as described in my previous post and it has not returned. Not sure why the developer options route did not work but might want to give it a try and see if it sticks. Hopefully a future firmware update or service provider configuration update fixes it.
I went into the apps and turned it off. Hopefully it sticks. Thanks
Mine normally clears after I let it sit for a couple hours and then reboot.
I don't want to just turn off the notification because then it'll be doing something but I just won't see it. I want it to just stop running. I tried to force stop and that worked for about a day then it came back. Anyone got any updates on this yet?
No update yet. I'm leaving the service notification off until the next update, then I'll turn it back on and see if the issue has been resolved.

I am fine with turning the notification off because it doesn't drain the battery, but maybe you can try downloading the T-mobile version of the app from the Play Store and see if it works and fixes the problem?
