Can I block or turn off Google update messages? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seems like every minute the message pops up for the 4.2 JB update. Can it be blocked? I will probably have to root again huh? I was rooted with 4.1.1 but i wanted 4.1.2 for landscape mode and more so I updated to that and lost my root.

I had my nexus 7 nagging me constantly to update too... rooted and heavily customized stock rom, different kernel, a lot of system files I altered... I really am not overly concerned about doing an update that might screw with any one of those components and having to go through the whole process of getting it where I want again.
I couldn't find this DMClient you guys are speaking of.
Here's how I did it:
Install Autostarts app.
Go to "After Startup"
Scroll down until you see "Google Services Framework"
There should be several of them. For me it was the third one. Touch it and read the bottom of the popup to find out. It will say "Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService.....(you get the point)
Disable it. Done...
I don't know if there are any other repercussions to disabling this.. I just know it's not nagging me, and everything works still.

Eh I'm not sure about paying for an app that doesn't say its even for the nexus 7 and it says you have to be rooted, which I'm not.

Voicemail: "A mandatory update is now avaliable."

Anybody get a message about a mandatory voicemail update? I tried updating and it keeps failing.
Yeah I updated it and it installed. It would continue to bug the crap out of me if I kept saying no. Regardless, I use Google voice for voicemail anyways.

Thanks! since you said you got it to update, I figured it would be related to some sprint app I froze in TitaniumBackup. I unfroze it all, rebooted and it updated successfully.
As far as I know every new phone has that mandatory upgrade, my step-son's Transform did, my wife's Shift did and my Hero did after the swap out (and I bet my Shift will when I get it tomorrow). It should work, just don't exit out of the status screen when you're downloading it, if you hit home or go to another app it will fail.
got the same update and installed just fine. Besides the voice to text, not much is new...
it took me 10 or so trys before mine worked. I updated my PLM first before it actually worked. pretty annoying.
Does anyone know if this might undo root? I just got this notification but I don't wanna install any updates til I know its cool for sure

it won't bother root
It will bug you forever with a new "Try our FREE new voicemail to text demo" button on every single voicemail you listen to, though. Wish I could just go back to the old version without hard resetting. It's like having a Sprint ad on every voicemail. (edit: it's free for a month, then $2 a month thereafter)

I was able to delete that little ad just like any other voicemail and don't get bothered by it any more. Do other people have this problem too? I must be just missing it or something.
Edit - I thought you meant the actual message...
I flashed the Evo(Shift)Nonsense rom a couple of days ago and had this same problem with the update failing repeatedly. Eventually I had had enough and on a whim I found the backup of the updated voicemail apk from when I was still on stock and installed it...viola no more nags and the VVM is updated. File attached if you want to try it...
Haha awesome..thanks!

If you deleted the Sprint Updater app, the upgrade will have a general failure. Toss that apk back into system/apps, reboot, and it updates fine
Thanks alot hdmunger! That .Zip worked for me!
Just letting the 3g download the update has always fixed the issue for me

Did it unroot your tab or any other bad thing? I have not seen this update on my sprint tab.
yes, if your update does succeed. It WILL unroot the Sprint Tab.
z4root WILL NOT WORK after the new update, it will just crash.
SUPERoneCLICK root software WILL work though! =]
Also make sure your LCD DPI Density Level is set to stock 240, and make sure if you replaced such files like WPA_SUPLICANT, to the one that supports AD_HOC to tether data from your cell phones to your TAB, You have to replace it Back with the STOCK WPA_SUPPLICANT in order for the Update to succeed.
Also another user had a problem with failed update due to him replacing the Gallary3d.apk with a non-stock one. So make sure you restore your stock gallary3d.apk if you ever replaced it.
Does the update fix the HID Bluetooth issue?

OTA updates work just fine on WIFI only. I use my tab as WiFi only.
The Update Firmware/Profile features do not work on settings app if u use wifi only, but your not missing our on anything trust me.
You will see the OTA update soon, leave your WiFi on, and eventually other the next couple days youll see it.
If you want it now, jus download the file and install it. Its much easier, no need to wait.
I shut the tab down and booted it up again, the update showed up.
The new widgets are great . Thanks for the prompt response

Noticed Changed (Myself):
- Darker Hues, The previous bright blues are now Darker dull blues
- Widgets (3 new ones)
- Ram Management App
- Task Manager
- Clearing ram seems to free up a little bit more now.
- Ram seems to be used a little less
- Boot Logos (HORRIBLE SPRINT LOGOS, YUCK, I want my samsung logo back)
- Breaks root, z4Root does not work - use SuperoneClick
- GPS locked into my location Noticably faster in the same spot INSIDE my house within 10 seconds, where it usually takes anywhere from 30-40seconds. Who knows. Maybe just a coincidence?
I like some of the changes.....subtle, but tasteful.
I uninstalled z4root since u mentioned it broke root, but superuser is still present nor can I uninstall it....
U mentioned superoneclick, where could I fund that and do you even recommend rooting again? I ask because I feel like us sprint tab owners are left behind and there aren't really many upsides to being rooted at this point.....no quality roms are anything. What are u rockin? Thanks again

There's a really annoying bug after this OTA update. The notification drawer pull down animation is now very choppy. Also, if there's anything animated going on when you pull down the drawer the frame rate will drop dramatically. This is a real step back; it used to be perfectly smooth.
Since I ran the update this a.m., I seem to be stuck in USB debugging limbo. It's grayed out and the green check mark is on but feint, so I can't seem to use the SuperOneClick app.
Any ideas?
I was previously rooted but that went away. Also, I forgot... how do I reset the darn thing? TIA
I had notification it was downloaded, but when i went to apply it, the upgrade failed. My Tab is very stock, though I do have Z4Root installed (though, like my Evo, Z4 never did work.)
Market issue?
Has anyone else noticed a difference in the market after the OTA update? Searches on known apps come up blank.
I have z4root and the update went though on mine just fine.

HA!!! I just check and it looks like it didn't take!!! Well there you have it. Now Im curious if the update will show again. Hmmm.....
Also, manual install will not work....
It failed for me on the ota and manual,
It failed due to first, wpa_supplicant i switched from the stock to the one that suppoorts adhoc. So i put the stock one back. Then i tried it again and it said buildprop error.
I looked into that and it was cause i changed the lcd density of the stock from 240 to 180. So i changed it bak.
Then it worked.
Also if you changed any of the stock software it will fail as it verifys the correct files before update.

Problems with Google Now since 4.1.2 Update.

As the title states I have been having problems with Google now since the update to 4.1.2. I'm am running unrooted life stock Jelly Bean and the issue I am having seems to be Google now hanging up while attempting to answer a question. The questions that start with a "Who is" seems to cause it the most trouble. Once I ask the question it will ding to show it accepted the question but then it will just spin looking for an answers without ever answering the question. This issue could also likely be attributed to the October 29 voice search update Google pushed through the place store.
I never had this issue until I upgraded, so I am asking the community of experts here.
Have you encountered this issue?
If you have how did you fix it?
Than you guys for reading and sorry for the post length.

Hey, I'm having the same problem - I have also tried reverting the app back, reinstalling the update, factory wipe of the nexus 7 and wiped cache etc. No luck here I HAVE found that if you ask (by voice) something like "how tall was Napoleon Bonaparte" it works perfectly and very quickly. Also, while web search does not work 99 percent of the time (I find it does after a reboot for one go then stops working) image search through Google search works perfectly.
This only happens with Google search, not chrome.
Let me know if you find a solution.

Having search problems here also.
Basically, hasn't worked for me since day 1 after purchasing the 32GB version this past Tuesday & installing 4.1.2 JB.
Same symptoms - whether type or voice search using the search box at top of the screens: hangs on web search & other search with link tabs at bottom giving no results.
Image searches do produce results though...odd.
Changing search options to Google.com from Google.co.UK fixed it for me.

I just did it, and for some strange reason it WORKS...i've done at least 5 searches, vague ones, and it searched the web. THANKS!!!
EDIT: But NOW, it won't do the voiceback like "What is 3 times 3" it should come back with "The answer is 9" now it just does a web search...
EDIT2: Ok I rebooted device after checking and UNCHECKING the option, and it works TOTALLY now. I am a happy camper ^_^
Thanks guys for all the responses, I am glad I am not alone in this. It seems like it's getting better but the voice search is still not performing the way it used to. If I try to search for info on say Micheal Jordan, it doesnt read back his information like it used to. I don't get the card anymore either I just get the google search. I hope they find a fix for this soon.

This ROM is so smooth, no crashes or anything. That being said the Google now voice activation ( OK Google ) and the internet local results by garb shown up on the stock kitkat dialer are not working. The dialer search is only giving results from the device itself

there's a bug with the CPU performance in that if you try and set the max and min values and check "set on boot" they somehow get reset to the default settings or get maxed out. this only happens when "set on boot" is activated.
Just an FYI the CM Nightlies have a CPU bug. Mine was charging for an hour and it gained 8% battery and was so hot I didn't even feel safe holding it. (This is coming from someone who has done alot of crazy and stupid stuff with my phones) The charger was hot as hell as well. Not sure if its a charging issue or CPU clock/voltage issue (it runs a lot hotter then GPE under load) but be warned.
Switched it back to GPE and its fine.. Also keep an eye out for ART, don't have it charging while making the switch (android is upgrading screen). The phone will get molten and I am not joking.

the CPU wasn't an issue in CM10.2 so it's something in CM11...will probably end up going to OmniROM instead.

I havent been having any issues with overheating. in the latest build however there are constantly force closes of the sound search process. not sure what thats about.

yes, i am replying to my own post... apparently if you go to settings -> accounts -> Google -> Search and enable google now, then the "ok Google" hot word that activates search in the persistent search bar on the home screens does not work.
As soon as i disabled google now, the ok google hotword activates voice commands again, as it should.
Is this normal?

I was getting these error messages and all the latest nightlies weren't installing for me either, with no information given with the error message,
So after many hours of messing around, I figured out the problem. I use clockwork to flash my mods. And I downloaded "ROM Manager" from Play Store. When starting the program, I noticed a message saying there was a new version of clockwork available and asked if I wanted to download it. I figured, what the hell, couldn't hurt! So I downloaded, installed it. Then updating to the latest nightly (cm-11-20140525-NIGHTLY-m7.zip) worked! No more problem!
I hope this helps some people install their newest nightlies!!!!#@ Enjoy,

[Q] I want Verizon Backup Assistant Plus GONE!

Hey guys, I just got a new Note 3 and am having and issue.
I get bloat ware will be an issue unless I root but forcing me to use this Verizon Backup Assistant is too much! Is there anyway to get rid of it? I don't even see it listed as an app yet it's always listed under "Accounts" leading me to believe it's not just there but running and synchronizing as well.
I did a search last night and found many posts of people annoyed with this and some solutions but none seem to work anymore, maybe because those solutions were old? I want as far as to go into My Verizon website and delete all my contacts then reset/wipe my phone and during the Wizard unchecked to backup contacts; yet even all that didn't work. "Backup Assistant Plus" still there under services .... Please help.

It is one of the few apps that you cannot 'turn off' through the application manager in settings. Surely there must be a way to disable it without root.

There currently is no root method for 4.4.2 unless a pre-rooted version. If you've taken the OTA you're stuck for now as there is no way to go back to previous builds to gain root access. I never download and install an OTA, there is too much of a risk where you may never have a rooted device again.
I am glad I have thus far held off on the OTA, although I am lucky it's not bugging me like it sounds like it bugs some people, it hasn't even tried to download it yet. Rooting is becoming more and more temping.

Mine downloaded it the first time it appeared, then started asking me twice a day about 3 weeks ago. I held off for 2 weeks and about a week ago it popped up and asked me at 5:53am. In my half-asleep state, I somehow managed to tell it to go ahead and do it. Damnit.
