[Q] How do i turn off system updates under 4.1.2

I just restored N7 to factory rom 4.1.2 from 4.2 since lots of apps got crash under 4.2 including xbmc.
but the annoying thing is update notification always pops up.
Is there any way to disable update notification?

I'm looking too. It seems there is a dmservice that needs to be disabled, but I can't find it. Maybe if I change the fingerprint to match 4.2...

Please keep me informed. I don't wanna update just yet either.
I nearly clicked yes when it popped up while I was browsing.
Never mind I managed to do it.
On the update notification in the tool bar. Long click. It gives a box app info. Click that it takes you to Google services framework info. Just under the title there is a tick box for notifications. Untick it and read the message. If you accept, no more update notifications.

Might not be the answer I seem to have gotten rid of the notification but I have had the update flash on the screen since. I was messing with Google services at the time though. I'll keep you posted.
Just to confirm still getting the update notification flashing up in the middle of the screen. Don't get it in the notification bar though.
Anyone know how to stop this?

Same experience here, was able to get rid of the banner but not the popup via Google Services Framework.
I found the download in /cache, so I deleted it. Waiting to see if i still get the popup notification.
Edit: No luck with this... still getting the popup.

Change default messaging app

Hey all. I am running a stock 9505 and want to use messages+ as my main SMS app but when using any 3rd party SMS widgets when I tap a message it opens in the Samsung messaging app. Is there any way to change this without root?
I am no stranger to rooting but I want to stay stock till my 30 day early failure warranty runs out

test this;
Setting > Apps > all > messages < disable it
:good:

Tried that. Now when I press a message on any of the widgets nothing happens at all.

Hi,
Does message+ not have its own widget?

Unfortunately not

Hi,
And Android Pro Widgets does not have an option to choose message + as its source?
If there is no such option ,then, you should email the maker of the app to either fix it,or show you how to do it.

send from stock contacts app once or reset defaults for stock messaging
I was going to suggest clearing the defaults for the stock messaging app in the application manager but mine was grayed out. I installed the messages+ app (just got my S4 and want a decent replacement anyway) amd then opened the stock contwcts app and sent a text to someone from there. I was given a choice of apps and picked messages+ and "always" instead of "just once." Then I found the widget and put it on my home screen. The correct app now opens. I hope this keeps working and works for you too. Your clear defaults may not be grayed out though since you already have another messaging app installed. I didn't. And if this messaging app is good, thanks for the recommendation! I'm new to Android.

[Q] Messaging > New Message

I truly love my S4 but this is driving me insane.
When receiving a message instead of telling me who it's from and an idea of what the message is... I get this:
Edit: Apparently I can't post an image of the issue until after 10 posts. In any case, my notification, both on the lock screen and on the notification bar, say Messaging, and underneath says New Message. Normally, or at least with my S3, it would show who the text message is from, and then a small preview of what the message says.
Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix? I am trying to stay away from rooting my phone, for now. I am using Nova Launcher Prime but I don't see why this would effect anything. A reboot has done nothing so far.

In message app enter menu and after, settings thhan tick the last option before signature, in italian "anteprima messaggio"

Thanks. For some reason I didn't think to go into the settings of the actual messaging screen. I was able to put a check mark beside "Preview Message" and that has solved my issue. Thanks Again!

Why isn't it on ny default?

I guess Samsung left it off to keep the privacy of unexperienced users on Android that have no idea how to change settings by themselves.

I'm almost definitely sure mine was on by default as I turned it off. It showed the message on the lock screen too.

Samsung WatchOn App issue

I have notice that this app turns on automatically in the task bar, and I cannot turn it off unless I go to running apps and disable it. Has anyone else had this issue and how can I fix it?

When you open app and go to settings you can turn off by unchecking "Show remote control on notification panel". But for some reson mine is showing back after i restert my phone..Maybe is just my phone.. Try..

Thanks

It is not just your phone and it is quite annoying to have to turn it off after every reboot.

This is an issue with the last update. I notified the developer and they Emailed me back telling me they are aware of the issue and will be adding a "fix" in a future update.

If you wipe data on the app then this stops. It has for me at least

If you don't mind, reboot your phone (completely turn off and then back on) and once it is fully rebooted, pull down your notification panel and see if it turns back on again.

If you wipe the data, it clears all the settings... I have the same issue. I want it to only be active when I call for it by clicking the app. Not all the time. I tried greenify and it seemed to work until I opened the app, now it is back to coming back after every reboot.

Tip: Disable "Select input method" in notification area

I noticed after selecting Google keyboard as default keyboard and disabling "Show app icon" in Advanced settings for Google keyboard, the "Select input method" notification icon is still visible.
I figured out that disabling the app "Swype for Honor" will make the icon disappear.

Of course. That icon let's you choose between keyboards. Disabling one will give you no choices at all.

Ya I'm aware of this. It just annoyed me so I fixed the issue.

Just might uninstall the unused keyboard and make system more snappy.

True. But Swype for Honor can't be disabled without root. I have root, but others may not. This is why I created this thread.

Oops! I got confused with another thread. This app CAN be disabled as I stated previously. My bad.

There is another issue: I use Swiftkey and I can not disable both huawei and google keyboard. If I do it after the first usage it will turn itself back on. The only way to turn the icon off if you use a 3rd party keyboard is when you start to type tap and hold on the notification in the notification bar. Than you can disable the notification for selecting keyboard. Unfortunatelly what this all does that you won't see the tiny icon at the top but you will have the notification in the notification center (which basicly you won't see unless you pull down the center.). Obviously these are the options withouth root with it you can do whatever you want

I can absolutely understand your opinion and sooner or later I will do it as well but I just wanted to leave a kind of solution for those who does not want to do it yet

That's not my experience. I've uninstalled all keyboards and replaced them with a updated Swipe and it really feels quicker to launch keyboard.
Other way to do it is to clean data, stop app, then disable it. It might ask if we want to uninstall updates and that's a yes.
