I jut got a new update on my Pixel 2XL.
It is in the "Google Play system update" required restart.
What are "Google play system updates"?
Under "Settings" - "Security" - "Security Updates" there is the System update.
Under "Settings" - "Security" - "Google Play system update" there is the something else.
Based on the HELP:
See which Android version you have
Open your phone's Settings app.
Near the bottom, tap System And then Advanced And then System update.
See your "Android version" and "Security patch level."
Get the latest Android updates available for you
When you get a notification, open it and tap the update action.
If you cleared your notification or your device has been offline:
Open your phone's Settings app.
Near the bottom, tap System and then Advanced and then System update.
You'll see your update status. Follow any steps on the screen.
Get security updates and Google Play system updates
Most system updates and security patches happen automatically. To check if an update is available:
Open your device’s Settings app.
Tap Security.
Check for an update:
To check if a security update is available, tap Security update.
To check if a Google Play system update is available, tap Google Play system update.
Follow any steps on the screen.
So...
Security updates = System updates
Play System update = Security updates
???
Total confusion...
Now I got an update but there is no changelog.
How can I know what was installed, changed?

When Google announces updates they post the list of fixes along with it. They don't send a changelog to the device when sending an update.

Just got new gnex today with version 4.0.2 build number ICL53F:i9250JPLA1
When ever i try to update it says up to date?
My xoom in on 4.04 already
Ia there any official 4.0.4 update?
Not sure if you're on GSM or LTE, but this worked for me on LTE(i515).
1. From your phone, head into Settings > Apps > All.
2. Search for "Google Services Framework".
3. Once found, tap on it and choose “Force stop.”
4. Then choose “Clear data.”
5. Back out of Apps to your About page in Settings and check for the System update.
You may have to repeat the steps a couple of times.
After the Tmo OTA to MM, I was getting warnings to update google play services, but the link on the play store wouldn't let me do so.
Go to Settings -> General -> Security -> Phone Administrators
disable Android device manager
now you can do the update for google play services
and then re-enable ADM (assuming you want to).
Disable "Software Update Available" notification in rooted 6.0.1 [JasmineROM]
I used the hsbadr's guide to upgrade to CM13, but stopped after JasmineROM [rooted] was loaded.
Root and Xposed and work great, but I can't get rid of the notification:
Software update available
Tap to install new software
Long pressing the notification changes it to
System updates (i)
[Current Time]
Long pressing the (i) button takes me the application notification menu where I can "Set as priority", "Previews in pop-ups", "Hide noti. on Lock screen", and "Hide sensitive content" but no option to disable notifications for this particular app or system process sending it.
I've seen posts that have suggested using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=enDisable Service to disable certain services and reboot, but so far no luck. The notification always comes back.
Any advice? Maybe I'm not selecting the right service.
Update: I found https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/help/how-to-off-update-ota-notifications-t3391641 this thread, and used TiBu to freeze the two "System update 1.0" applications.
So far so good. Posting it here in case anyone else has the same issue.
Im trying to ensure I'm on the latest version of our device! Model - LM-G820UM, Software Version - G820U20d
Searching "update" in the main settings menu on my LG G8 Spring Unlocked brings up the following results:

From those results,
Clicking "Update Center" brings up this:

^ This appears to update all the LG apps/bloatware crap imo
This is where it gets confusing:
Clicking "Google Play system update bring up this, telling me I'm on the March 1st, 2020 Security update:

However, clicking "Security Update" (main settings menu, right below "Google Play system update"), tells me I'm on December 1st, 2019 security patch level...?:

So naturally I tried to manually check if there are any available update, I select "System Updates" from the main settings menu (see first screenshot) which brings up this:
https://imgur.com/8ZSIS3P
and then select Update LG Software - update client initiated LG Software - which FORCE CLOSES AND SENDS ME TO THE HOME SCREEN.
So what's the difference between Google Play System Update and Security Update, and can someone tell me what happens when you guys open up System Updates > Update LG Software, does it force close for you too?

Click to expand...

I mean, as long as when you check for update in the "update center" and you're on the latest it's good. Idk about the rest of the stuff, but that's all you need to worry about.
Can you tell me what Settings > System updates > Update LG Software - update client initiated LG Software displays for you?

I am stuck on a beta version and don't have that menu, but I can assure you that update center is all you need to pay attention to.
So i got A29 build and i dont want any updates. I have turned of aito night update, i have turned off auto system update in developer options but i still keep getting proposals to install an update like twice a day. That is annoying. How can i kill an app so taht would stop bugging me? Thanks!
I am sure I do not know the best ways, but here are the ways I have written down so far (I too, never want any updates). Looks like 1,2 and 3 require no root, and 6 is just a good point to remember:
1 - check "Software Update" screen: (Settings > Software Update)
2 - check “Automatic system updates” screen:
a - Settings > About Phone > Software Information > tap "Buld Number" 7 to 10 times to enable "Developer Mode"
b - Settings > Developer options > Automatic system updates
3 - purchase and sideload the Package Disabler Pro app (disables OTA forever)
4 - on AmazonKindle, deleting the /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip will prevent updates since their signatures can't be verified by the device
5 - chown root and chmod 755 the /cache partition can do the same as above (but will it affect recovery?)
6 - while you work on a phone to disable the updates, do not forget not to insert a SIM and not to connect to WiFi, untill the OTA is fully blocked / disabled.
As for how to get rid of the NAG about the updates already downloaded and waiting for the installation, i THINK you might want to wipe cache? Because that's where they are stored while waiting?
It is good that you do not have the A/B system device, where the damn updates are installed on the fly!
If nothing works, this is why I always need root. Because the manufacturer pushes me to, leaves me no way out to just peacefully coexist, they just have to force feed their updates to us. Good luck bro.
