I have the latest official 8.1 ROM and don't want to update to PIE yet.
But notification about this update is just like the ones from iPhone, keeps coming back and I see no way to turn it off.
I've disabled automatic update in developer settings, but would like to disable checking for update and notification about it also.
In my other phones there always was system app called "Update" or "System-update" and stopping/disabling it was enough to stop bothering me.
Is there any way to disable checking for update and notification about existing update?
My phone is not rooted.
When the notification comes for the system update just slide it right/left but not all the way, just halfway across the screen and let it go. This way you'll see "snooze" and a "gear". Tap on the gear and then "Don't show notifications"

I'm sorry, English is my third language and sometimes I don't know how to make a correct accent on the specific part of the question
the main part of my question is to disable checking for update and after doing this notifications will disappear
I understand that I can just hide the notifications but I'd like to know how to solve this problem completely

I don't think there's any thing more you can do about it Disabling from Developer Settings and hiding the notification is all I can say about it
Disable automatic system updates in developer options.
If developer options are not enabled, activate by giving 7 clicks on "Build number" (Settings / About phone / Build number)
Go to System / Advanced / Developer Options / Automatic System Updates
Disable and no longer have automatic updates. When you want to update, you'll need to manually fetch.
What is keeping you from rooting and removing updater package from system/app? Especially if you are not planing to update to pie yet

I have a question for some of the experts. Can someone point me in the right direction to disable automatic OTA updates? I am currently using a ROM that is not being supported by the developer and would prefer to stick with it if possible.

Custom ROMS dont get OTA updates, unless that is your'e mixing them up with Application updates

No. OTA Updates have to be disabled by the chef of the ROM. In my case the Chef did not disable them and I am wanting to get rid of that damn annoying pop up that says there is an OTA update.
Here's how to fix it with Root Explorer (from the Market).
Open Root Explorer, scroll down to and click on "System". In the upper right corner, click on "Mount R/W". You will see a file called "build.prop", long press on it and select "open in text editor".
Scroll down, you are looking for a line that reads:
"ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/"
The 231334 might be a different number, but whatever it is, you need to change it to 264707, then save and exit, click on "Mount R/O", then reboot the phone. My notification was still up after I rebooted, however after tapping on it and hitting back, it went away. It shouldn't bug you to do the update anymore after that
For reference:

Thanks. This worked well.
In the future, please post your question in the q & a section instead of the development section. Thanks, and welcome to the community.
So I tried doing it through the hidden menu but it doesnt work. Has anyone found another way to disable the notification without completely disabling Google Framework Service?

cant you just do the hidden menu thing - THEN.....
Goto About Phone/Update Center/Software Updates/ and uncheck "check and download update automaticly"

The update already downloaded itself so when I go to Software Updates there is no option to uncheck check and download automatically.
Hi guys, sorry if there is already an answer to this question on the forum, but I didn't find it.
All the answer on the subject I have found are dealing only with rooted tablets.
So, there is any method to block forever the automatic firmware update attempt and the related notifications, if the tablet is not rooted ?
The user is a non-technical person, and I need to be sure he will not launch the lollipop update by mistake (he does not play with the commands and settings he does not understand, but is very easy to launch the update from notification area, by mistake).
Also, the notification is annoying.
Thank you,
Really ? No solution ?

Hi, I am on lollipop right now and hopefully it should be similar to KitKat. Simply, when the notification shows in in your notifications, just hold on it, then when it shows app info hit that, then uncheck show notifications. Then it should stop popping up

Thanks, but it doesn't apply, as the checkbox (and all the buttons around, "clear cache", clear data" etc) are greyed out on that app
If you can find what app does the update, I wonder if the app below could disable it, it works without root, it might be worth a go.

Hi Nick61,
as you're talking about the Android updates, I would guess that you'll find what you're looking for under 'Device information'. I don't have the T-805 with KK at hand but if I look at my KK devices, you'll find it under the tab 'Options' -> 'Device information' -> 'Software update' -> unckeck 'automatic update'. (I use the german android version, so I'm not exactly sure that are the correct english terms)
I've done that and haven't been bothered with any update notification. hope that helps a bit.
Sorry for so late answer and thanks for your help.
Only today I had the tablet again in my hand. The "package disabler" app was the solution, thanks Tinderbox !
I was able to disable (sic!) the "software update" apps (there are 2 of them). Both apps had the disable button inaccesible in the normal settings menu (greyed out), but the "package disabler" is working with administrator rights (only on Samsung devices, as I've read) and it disabled both apps.
Glad you found a way to stop the update, it`s good to know, now you can hide the package disabler app so it not used by accident, but does the disabling survive when you restart the tablet.
John.

As said above I'm sure before I rooted my tab that all that was required was to disable auto update.

Unfortunately, simply unchecking the auto-update option from settings/about did not solve the problem on this tablet (on my note3 this was the normal solution, but not on this tablet). The update app was still downloading the new firmware (OTA) and it was stridently pushed in the notification area, with no option remained, other than to ignore it (and with the risk of touching it by mistake).
Thanks,
Can you post a photo of the apps/processes you had to disable and there location.
Thanks

Anyone know Samsung's ip addresses or url's they use to update the TAB S?
For about a week I have been getting annoying POPUP's from Samsung trying to force me to update. It takes over the screen and I want to block Samsung and get back control over my device.
Thanks.

Why don't you just disable automatic updates? No need to do anything drastic.

Because Samsung has disabled the ability to disable the update daemon. I am going to try a temporary root program and see but I still want to block them at my router so no unexpected foolishness down the the road.
My boss wants it fixed too as she has the same tablet.

Again I don't have root.
My boss's S is set to "Download updates manually" but device downloaded the update anyway. It does not honor your choice and if you try to disable the update software it is greyed out.
What IP domain names do they use?

Again, you don't need root. Just UNCHECK Download updates automatically in settings.
There are 3 settings. Manual updates if you want to check manually(this setting has absolutely nothing to do with the automatic update setting)
Download updates automatically, uncheck and you'll never get another notification again.
Scheduled software updates - OFF.
That is all that is required.
If your device is notifying you to install an update then it's already downloaded.
Just root and delete it.
If you don't want to do that download Bk package disabler and disable the update notification.

My boss 's was already set to manual and it ignored her setting. It doe NOT work. Samsung is ignoring the setting.
Will BK disabler actually disable the daemon or just the notifications?
Someone must know their IP range/ url's?

Well it works perfectly on my Tab S and the other 3 galaxy tablets I have.
BK package disabler can disable updates and the notifications. Just need to disable the correct packages.

Ok just tried the BK on my boss's S and it worked great. There were 2 daemons to disable and now no more popups.
I will do the same with mine at home tonight.
Thanks.!

No worries. Glad you got it sorted.
Hi guys, this will be very simple for most of you, but for me it's difficult.
I want to disable completely the OTA updates of my device, currently I'm using Nougat 7.1.1 1st July security patch level and I really want to disable it because it doesn't stop appearing on my screen and consequently annoying me.
Thanks in advance!
just upgrade to newest soft, why you hesitate?

I'm rooted, so it would not allow me updating, so if I'm rooted why do they keep annoying me?
There is a file otacerts,zip in the /system/etc/security/. If you remove it (copy to safe place) you should stop receiving updates. I haven't tried by myself, so please make a backup of your rom first.
If you just want to get rid of notification popping up, just hold notification to get those two icons which lead you to app notification settings and there you can block notification.
For rest of the available options (disable Motorola update service), just google it
