[Q] Disable Updates - Omni Q&A

Currently running Nightly 20140101, I am getting a new "System Update" notification every day. Seeing as I can only update using TRWP and I am using CWM, I would like to disable the auto check.
I also have limited downloads half of the week and I am unsure if it's automatically downloading the update or not? Under System Updates -> Networks, I have unticked every option.

Simply clear data in System Settings > Apps > OpenDelta. If this doesn't help, just freeze or uninstall it.

[Q] Can't install new apps on my Streak

I've been getting the "unsuccessful install" messages when I try to download a new program from the app store. I tried using appbrain and the "market" applications to download. I have a new streak on ATT purchased from Dell. It worked fine for two weeks. Now it will no longer install any apps.
I'm on 1.6. I am now into almost a week without being able to download new apps. I tried: Restoring the Streak to a week earlier when I thought the app market worked; I uninstalled apps I didn't use that I installed recently; I have over 1gb free in internal memory; I cleared the cache in the appbrain and market apps. I tried everything mentioned in other forums by people with the same problem.
Today I may enter Dell Hell and try to call tech support. Any other ideas? I really don't want to do a factory reset since it will wipe out all my programs. If it doesn't work then I will still not be able to download and have no new programs, although I guess at that point I could do another "restore" to get them back.
Anybody have any other ideas before I try the phone call?
I've tried a lot of the suggested solutions (clear cache, turn airplane mode on and off, unmount sd card, format sd card, rebooting many times, playing around with google talk...).
What worked for me in the end - uninstalling the market updates (NOT the updater) - from options > applications ... I've lost options like automatic updates and "update all" but at least i can now update *at* all and install apps.
I wonder when does Market get "upgraded" again...

I don't see where you do what you are talking about. There is no "options" under applications and there is no "options" option from the home screen either. I am confused as to where you get to this.
I figured out how to do it. Thanks, that did it, amazing!
glad it helped.
In the meantime my Market got upgraded back again and so far it seems working...
How do you know it got upgraded and and does it do it automatically?
Because the features like "update all" and comments on a separate tab are back again.
And yes, it does so automatically (as it is a core system appliacation, it does whatever it - or Google - wants).

[Q] Uninstalled apps in market

I experiment with some apps, install them via market, after a short time uninstall them. Now, market shows "installed" for uninstalled apps. Is there any way to "told" the market that these apps are uninstalled?

Try clearing the data for the Market app.
rebooting seems to fix that for me. How would you clear the market data ?

Depending on which ROM you're using: Menu >settings >applications >manage applications (if you're on CM7) >scroll down to the Market app, press it and select clear data. You will need to sign back into the Market once you open it again.

How to stop update from popping up?

Verizon released an update for my phone a few days ago. Being that I'm rooted I don't need the update, how can I stop it from popping up? I don't believe there is an option anywhere for it?
If memory serves correct, you'll have to either freeze or remove the stock system update apks (I think there are 2). And if the update has downloaded, just not installed, you'll also have to find the location it saved to and delete it. Then you won't have to worry about ever seeing it again...
You could start by unchecking 'Auto Update' under Settings > General > About Device > Software Update...

You can freeze or remove the apks with Titanium Backup, as for the location of the files, you'll have to do some research, as I'm not sure....

Because it's under Software Update. The option in About Phone (or About device, depending on your language setting) that's above Status and Legal Information.

Disable Software Update

Every 15-20 minutes, a popup message comes up with telling me there is a software update available. I have already rooted my phone, and attempting to install the update just fails, but the popup continues to come up even when it fails. Is there a package I can disable/freeze or somewhere I can go to get this annoying thing to go away? It's got a notification that appears with a little syncing icon in the bottom corner in the notification bar, so I figure there is something somewhere I can disable, but not sure where to look...
Use a root file explorer to delete this folder system/priv-app/wssyncmldm or you can freeze it.

Removed the folder and reset the phone; notification still came up in the notification bar. Popup also still comes up on the screen.
Got rid of it for me, I also removed the 2 other folders below it. The other wss.... folders. Hope that helps. Edit: forgot I was in the VZW forum, I have att maybe there is another app for updates. Sorry
Try to freeze "SDM", that should do the trick. If it doesn't clear it, then clear the cache for SDM and then freeze it.

I'm sorry, it's both of these I believe
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
Right on the nose. Disabled and haven't seen the messages/notifications since.

Make sure you disable securitylogagent also.
I disabled these two with package disabler pro.
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
securitylogagent
I don't see this package:
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
I am still getting the annoying notifications. Search has not revealed any other solutions.

Try to disable diagmonagent in package disabler it should do the trick.
This did not work for me.
I enabled all the packages. I then force stopped, cleared cache, and memory in application manager. I then disabled all three again and restarted.
The next day the popup returned.
In Titanium backup, simply open up both system update packages, freeze them then long press them each till you can select "open system details"
Once you open system details force stop and select notifications
set all notifications to off.
Once completed you can go into settings/ and select System updates, it should FC
Hope this helps.

Yes. Maybe you can disable the same apps going to settings/application manager/ more -system apps/ system updates
As i have located them.
I think this is the fix! I have not received any update notifications since.
More comprehensive instructions?
G935V non-rooted (came from rooted) and I cannot get rid of the OTA notifications. I found and disabled securitylogagent and com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer but cannot find com.samsung.sdm Still get the notification, can disable temporarily by clearing cache of system updates through system app manager, but they return later. Did someone figure out how to disable update notifications, as they do annoy me! Thank you!
Go to Application Manager for Samsung Galaxy S5 SM G-900V and "Turn Off"
1. System Updates (about 1.6mb or more in size)
2. System Updates (about 156 kb in size , rIght below it)

I do the temporary workaround by force stopping the Motorola Update service after every reboot. Go to Settings -> Apps -> "..." -> "Show system" -> select "Motorola Update Services" -> "FORCE STOP"

Before I forced stopped "Motorola Update Services" my G4 kept crashing and having problems ever since it asked me to update. Now it's playing nice again. Thank you.

Is it correct that you need root for that approach? Some of us do not have that with the Amazon version of the device

ye sorry thought you was rooted
It is annoying to me as well. If I stop the update service, can I still get Android 7 as the rumor said it's on the way to moto g4?
For the time being, I just set the time to be next 24 hours. So I only need to click that once everyday.
I'm not sure. It may depend how you disable it. The temp method resets on reboot. The "perm" method can supposedly be undone with a similar command also you might be able to manually check by going to setting and checking for update but I'm not sure if someone has tried it. Which method are you talking about?
Does the notification show up on the top of the screen? You could try long pressing it and it might give you the opportunity to disable notifications for the program calling the update.
If it works anything like my LG g2, it will disable notifications for Google Services. The only side effect I had was that I didn't get any notifications from the play store about apps needing updates.

Yes, I used this method and the update notification stopped. But the next time you reboot, you will have to do it again as it was only temporary.
its much easier then you think

Unfortunately it does not . Having to force stop on every restart is not bad though.
