Installing new voicemail update

I keep trying to install the new voicemail application, but everytime I try to install it, it says Application not installed. Anyone else having this problem?

Nobody can help?

I'm having the same issue too

hmmm i didnt even know about this update until i read this thread.
i just went there and updated it no problem.
i would suggest making sure you are on 3g and not wifi. i am stock unrooted froyo'ed.

Updated w/o problem on Myn's 2.2 rom.
The update is pretty much voice to text service it seems. (Paid service after 1 month trial btw).

Mine just updated fine.
myn's warmtwopointtwo stock kernel

Still not working, and the icon in the notification bar won't go away. Worked fine on my girlfriends evo, both running fresh.

Not working here either.

Maybe delete the download and re-download it. See if that helps.

I am not sure where the app got downloaded to though.

No problem upgrading for me thanks for the notice.

That got rid of the notification, but its still not installing. It either says A general failure has occurred, or application not installed.

updated fine on virus airborne 3.1

It got rid of the notification for like 10 minutes and it came back. This sucks might have to do a freaking nandroid restore just to get rid of this.

If your rooted, replace the SprintVVM.apk in / system/app with the one provided, change permissions to the same as all the other apps and reboot

Upgraded fine on stock 3.30 base deodexed version... I like how it said it was a mandatory update but didn't let me know there was one until I manually checked

Tried. Still got 'application not installed' error.

Deleted the old voicemail app. Now I cant install the new or the old one. Getting the same error on both. Im royally screwed...

Btw, the "Mandatory" new update wont allow you to disable notifications like the previous versions, so if you want have some un-read voicemails sitting around, you're stuck looking at a notification icon forever.

Verizon G3 VS985 update not asking to download

I didnt see a thread already but my G3 started downloading an update this morning without me accepting or saying anything at all. Obviously with Root and TWRP(Bump) I did not want this. I pulled down the notification bar long pressed on the update download, hit app info, then force stopped the app. I went into Titanium backup, made a backup of System Updates 1_13_10_0 then uninstalled it. I don't know if the download will come back but I don't think so. Also the update was 220ish MB and I have no issues with the phone after uninstalling this. Sorry I didnt get a chance to take a picture of the update since it was almost done lol.

System Updates Frozen
I have the System Updates App frozen in Ti BU. Haven't gotten any hint of an update and I hope it stays that way.

Same thing happened to me it tried installing the update all on its own luckily it said waiting for wifi network to update so I froze the system updates app with titanium back up.

RyanEJ25, I experienced the same thing as you. I have a Verizon LG G3 (vs985), rooted.
Trying to get more info on this system update and what it contains. I don't think it's Android 5.0 lollipop update, but more like a Verizon bug update/improvements.
I tried to run the system update that was downloaded via WIFI, but it failed due to my LG g3 being rooted.
Before I go down the path of backing everything, unrooting and upgrading and then re-rooting, just wanted to make sure the update is worthwhile.

The main thing that threw me off was that USB charge modes have changed. Charge and internet connection are removed from PC connections other than that its general improvements to the keyboard and docs and stuff.

You can temp unroot, take the update, then reroot assuming Verizon didn't load a bullet that kills root.

I'd tend to avoid the update, at least for now, if you want to keep root and twrp. Seems to be a number of people mentioning issues, including trouble reverting to 10b.
I also froze "System updates" with TiBU, going to stay on 10b until things clear up. Freezing that app seems to do the trick.

Why are you posting here, instead of the Verizon forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general
If you take the update, you can't re-root and you can't roll back.
Some people have maintained root after updating.

[ROOT] Circumventing the ZV6 update?

I'm on the LS997 and getting hammered with notifications about the ZV6 update. My question is, has anyone been able to circumvent the update by hiding the notification? It sounds like it's going to be awhile before ROMs will be updated with ZV6, and I'm gonna lose my $hit with this notification until then. I've tried to disable system updates via the developer options, and freezing the services in Titanium Backup isn't doing anything either. Am I missing something???

I personally blocked the notification.

use a app like titanium backup and freeze the update apks in system.

How to disable OTA updates with root?

I have rooted my phone and installed Titanium Backup. What processes do I need to freeze to prevent OTA updates from automatically downloading and installing? I tried the usually keywords, but it seems like the only process that might be an updater is ConfigUpdater. Is that all I need to freeze? Thanks.

If you're rooted, OTAs won't install anyway.

I don't think it will automatically download, but you're always going to have the notification telling you an update is available.

So far I've found an option called "Automatic System Updates" in Developer Options, I have turned that off. I guess there's no way to block it from checking for new updates?

I think I've figured out what to block to prevent the update from downloading. I use AdAware to log the DNS requests when the phone is trying to download an update. There where a few URLs, but the one needs to be blocked seems to be redirector.gvt1.com. After blocking this url the OTA update download will pause itself (probably because it can't reach the server). I don't know what other Google services it'll affect, but I've tried downloading an app from Play Store and searching for an address in Google Map, they still work. So I'm going to block that URL for now. I can always temporarily unblock it for certain app updates if they need that redirector url.

Same Problem here
I have a Rooted Lenovo Yoga Tab YT3-850M running Android version 6.0.1, and I am struggling with this same issue. I used TWRP and Magisk.
Even if I enable Developer Options, there is no option to turn off Automatic Updates.
And it keeps downloading and installing the OTA System Updates. It fails to install, but keeps on doing it again and again.
I don't know how to stop it. The only thing is I disabled it from doing the Update over Mobile Data, and I switched off the Wifi to get some relief.
And am now hunting online for some method to either install the OTA, and go back to Root (or) to Disable OTA Updates permanently...

If you guys are talking about ROM OTA system monthly update, then the solution is very simple.....use FOTAkill

The solution is even simpler:
There won't be any more monthly QTA updates for this phone anyway, as the company behind the phone went bankrupt and stopped doing updates since February 2020...

Yeah, we knew that, but many people don't use Feb because TWRP doesn't work well with it, so they rolled back to Jan, and that's why the OTA kicks in.

All right...sorry, this happens if one is only readying through half the story...
...was already surprised to be the first one to have that mentioned - now this explains it :silly:
Nevermind... :angel:

did anyone find a working solution? I tried FOTAkill but it did not work. I also tried editing the build.prop, but i am still seeing the update icon appear after a few hours.
Thanks,
JD

Where did you put Fotakill? Try to put it in /system/priv-app folder

I did try that folder as well, but it's not removing the update. The app also deletes itself upon reboot from /system/app and /system/priv-app

Hmm...that's strange....and you said it's gone after reboot which never happened to me.
Making sure you're using the right version from xda ( and your device is rooted, I assumed)

I did the same exact thing 4 times in a row and it is now persistent through reboots. Try number 2 caused magisk to claim no root after reboot. Very weird.
My wife has the same phone and the exact same setup, it took 3 tries to make hers work. Her phone never lost root.
Neither phone is prompting for updates. Very cool! This is a step in the right direction.
Both phones do show the update available notification icon on the right side of the notch. Should this go away as well? I tried multiple cache/dalvik wipes to no avail.
Thanks,

How to disable system update nag on rooted OnePlus 8 Pro?

How to disable system update nag on rooted OnePlus 8 Pro? Thanks.

Update it.
Other than that, you can install some sort of notification blocker to remove the notification, or a magisk module to uninstall the system updater.
If you decide to update it, just let it update, but make sure that you have automatic restart disabled, and that you won't restart the phone when it says to restart. Then just go to magisk, click install to inactive slot, wait for it to finish, then restart. Voila, notification disappeared, and you still have root.

Thanks, but I don't plan to update, I have the phone set up the way I want it. Someone in another site mentioned on the Motorola Z3 he needed to freeze the OTA updater. If anyone know what the OnePlus OTA updater is called please share. These are the apps I currently have freezed.
Also how the hell did my device know there's a new version? I freezed the updaters right after root. If anyone knows the IP for the OnePlus update servers please share, I have AdAway installed, I can add them to the custom block list. Thanks.

I found out the nag is from Google Play Services so I'm SOL unless I want to de-google my phone.

Yes nagging will never stop, but your system will never be updated with the freezing. At least it is just a few times a day. I am never moving to 11 and up

Thanks. But I found out that the nag comes from Google Play Services, there's no way to disable it without affecting other Google apps.
