How to stop 4.4.3 update notification - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so I am running Beanstalk, and want to stay that way... problem is that I keep getting the factory 4.4.3 update notification. I thought I would be a simple thing to just turn off the SystemUpdateService in Google Services Framework, but it was already disabled. Then I found the SystemUpdateService in Google Play Services and disabled it, problem then is the phone would not sleep.
It's not a huge deal, but is there a simple way to stop the update notifications yet not effect anything else? I remember in the Rezound we used to do a little edit to prop.build and all was well, anything like that here to make the Google Services think that the phone is already on 4.4.3 even when it isn't until the ROM can get updated?

I found one but it is, or might be, Beanstalk ROM specific... I disabled the SystemUpdateService in Google Play Services than used Wakelock Blocker to stop the wakelocks, been fine since.

Great news. Im on Beanstalk as well. I'll give it a shot. Did you blow through your data cap with the update repeatedly downloading? Article about it here

Settings --> Applications --> Google Play Services --> Uncheck "Notifications" option
You can stop only the upgrade notification with the app Autorun Manager

Note that this will stop ALL notifications from Google Play Services, including app update information, just be aware.

That's why I mentioned Autorun Manager. You can select the services individually with this app.

[Q] Disable OTA Update Notification without root?

I updated my Nexus 4 to 4.2.2 but it immediately broke Sky Go (Sky haven't got round to updating their app to work on 4.2.2). I've rolled back to 4.2 in the meantime but I've got a constant nagging notification asking me to update to 4.2.2 and it's driving me mad.
I've tried searching but I can't find a thread detailing a way to disable this notification without rooting my device (Sky Go doesn't work on rooted handsets, and I use it a lot).
Anyone got any ideas how I can stop this notification while Sky sort their app out?

Yap and i actually completely disable the app, just in case it goes alive by itself at some point, or after rebooting.

[Solution]Android 4.3 update for everybody[Simple]

Everybody waiting for the update on their Nexus device, heres a simple solution that works.
1) Goto settings and remove your google account from the accounts tab.
2) Goto Apps and force stop and clear data for Google Framework Services
3) Go check for update and Voila
4) Add your google account back.
Done :victory:
P.S - This might also work for future OTA updates so remember the idea

I dunno concerninh 4.3 update but I did this 2 times to get the OTA previously on 4.11 and 4.12 update and it just works....
Just tried this and it didn't work
Trick worked for me, cleared data twice before i got the update.
Some people might be having more luck than others, just keep trying.
Im on nexus7 3G btw.
It doesn't work for everyone. I tried it about a dozen times to no avail on both my N7 and my N4. Then the next day both auto updated.

Try and try and try until it works. (You may have to do this 20 times but it will work eventually)
Does updating like this kill what apps i have? I have like... 400 plus. I'd hate to have to reinstall.
Worked without removing google account, only clearing data for framework app.
I got bored of waiting, and I found necessary files to root, so I gave it a little push. Downloading OTA update as I type this.
Thanks

After just clearing the Google services framework on my stock Nexus 7 it was no longer listed in my Google Play store devices. Subsequently, when I installed new apps on the Nexus 7 they still show up in my 'My Apps' list on Google Play, but the Nexus 7 device did not show so I could not push apps to my tablet using Google Play Store from a browser. Also since the device was no longer listed I could no longer determine, from a browser, if apps were compatible with the Nexus 7. I read elsewhere that the "device" comes back after a few days; I tried a few things to help it along (click on acct name etc....) but after a few days it was still not back. I had installed quite a few apps directly from the Play Store app on the N7 since doing this "data clearing" but it was still missing from my list of devices on Google Play website.
UPDATE: apologies to the OP; I had quickly read his post and skipped over his first step of removing Google account. Following the OP instructions in this thread I got the update right away....AND my N7 "device" is now shown in the Play Store again (thank you). By previously just doing the force stop and clearing data in Google Services Framework, as suggested in many other forums, it seemingly removed my N7 device from the Play Store without getting me the update .
My N7 is listed in the Play store devices same as before.

Exactly. Sometimes it works on 1st try, sometimes you have to do it like 30 times...

Random App Ate My Data!

Some random Google Services app ate all my data. However it doesn't show what app used the data. Is there a way to check?

I think he meant mobile data...
My guess would be to check if your Google account is syncing pictures
How about settings>data usage?

To to settings, scroll down, under "accounts"
Select Google, tap your Google account on top to see what is being synced. You can enable/disable sync for individual items there.

Ok I disabled some syncing stuff for her. Checked Google Services and it says 196MB was used for Background... "View app settings" is greyed out though.
same issue
Hey,
I'm having the same issue, first my phone and service:
Tmobile
Nexus 4 w/ Paranoid Android 3.6 with Franco Kernel 3.4.0
LTE Enabled / LTE Tethering enabled on Firewall
Ok, so within 3 days my phone used 1.62 GB of data that the data usage area in settings attributes to Google Services. I haven't installed any new apps or made any changes.
According to Android, Google Services includes:
Google Contacts Sync
Google Account Manager
Network Location
Google Play Services
Google Services Framework
Google Bookmarks Sync
The only culprits I can think it might be are either Account Manager or Network Location. I turned off Location Access and I'm trying to limit anything syncing on my google accounts. But that hasn't changed over the whole month, I don't know why it would now. I'll keep looking and report back what I find. I downloaded android firewall and i'm downloading My data manager too, to try to obtain more metrics. any help would be appreciated.
Just today, I lost 575MB of data, again to Google Services. It was all background data. Have most of my syncing stuff disabled.
It's trying to pull the 4.3 update, and since your not on stock, it'll fail over and over. After a lot of searching, I found what seems to have fixed it. Get the app Autorun Manager, select advanced mode, go to settings and enable show system entries and enable system app disable. Then scroll down to Google Services Framework. Find and uncheck com.Google.android.gsf.update.systemupdateservices$secretcodereceiver. What a mouthful, but that should end your data drain troubles.

Hi. I tried this. Initially it stopped. But after a few hours it started again. This time my network log app was showing upload too. And the same download manager, drm protected storage and media storage were showing data transfer. What to do? I'm on aokp milestone 2 with franco kernel milestone 3
Tried the Autorun Manager fix
Google Services used up 1.2GB mobile data on my phone in a matter of hours yesterday. I've tried the fix, hope it stops. I've disabled Mobile Data as a failsafe. I also noticed that Google Services' usage on WiFi was 7.5GB in 20 days. Is this normal?
Using the last CM10.1 nightly.

Did you check again using the same app?
I'm having the same problem! I already tried reflashing my rom, and the problem always comes back!
I tried disabling com.Google.android.gsf.update.systemupdateservices $secretcodereceiver Autorun Manager (free version) and the problem still happens.
Any solution?
EDIT:
Installing FOTAKILL, seems to have fixed it *crosses fingers*
Yes I did. It stopped for a while for me too but then started again. And same here. Transferred many GB on WiFi. Now I went back to stock, updated OTA to 4.3 and rooted again. Staying on rooted stock till the 4.3 based releases of AOKP and all come out

So, if I update to CM10.2 (4.3), it should solve this too, right?

Can't change Google Play Store ?!

So I upgraded to Google Play v4.3.11 a week ago, BUT I keep getting bad Google Play Services drain with it. On v4.2.9 I get little to no Google Play Services drain (only 5%-7%; verses 30+% with v4.3.11). Whenever I try and push the v4.2.9 apk it works, until I reboot my phone and it goes back to v4.3.11 for some reason. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
That's because Google play updates itself. And as far as I know there is no way to stop it from upgrading

I've heard this a lot, and from what I've heard/seen, there are a few solutions:
Clear the data for the google framework, the google play store and the google play services.
Log out and then back into your google account.
Clear cache if you need too.

Well when the update came in, it's was stored to data/app
Have you tried deleting the APK from data/app, then MO ing your old Playstore to system/app, then setting permissions rw-r-r?
I've yet to see This battery drain personally, but I've heard much about it. Sounds like a *****. Lemme know if you've tried that method. I csn always make a flashable for you, that will delete the new in data/app, then flash the new apk to system/app and set permissions

Location always running in App Ops for Android system and Google services.

Since updating to kit kat when I look in App Ops Android System and Google Services always has 'location' as 'running'.
I always have gps and wireless network location off though in app ops it's always showing those two as running.
What's the cause?

It is disabled. My point was that even though it's disabled android and Google is constantly looking for my location hence the battery drain by android os and Google services that people are always talking about.

Same here. I found annoying to see that. The Google play services for location is always running at the background although u have turned off all the location service from user interface.

Hey how did you solve this problem ?
Digging up old topic, but has anyone observed similar problem and found solution ever since?
I'm experiencing the same thing on Marshmallow, different phone though (Sony).
