[Q] Android 4.3 Update for S4

Hello guys, I have a S4 and I just received the OTA update for android 4.3. However, since this update, I have been getting lag spikes when I use my phone even if I am only using whatsapp. This only occured after I updated my phone. Is there any fix out there and will there be a fix by samsung?

It must have just been a bad flash. Have you tried resetting to factory settings?
Or alternatively, since you are on stock, use KIES (the Samsung software) to restore the firmware.

Just backup with Kies. Also try deleting the cache partition

I had a similar issue after the 4.3 update. I simply let the update finish, pulled the battery with the power on, powered up, rebooted and all was good.

just to tell everyone i did a factory reset and it worked so i guess that is the only fix ya

Issues after latest update G935FXXU1APF2/G935FODD1APF2/G935FXXU1APEQ

First off, sorry about the uninspiring title
Now that that's out of the way, here's the problem.
Have got the latest update for the Edge and it was around 70+ mb (version details in the title).
After the update the "Storage" option within "Smart Manager" throws up the error: "Unfortunately, SmartManager Clean SDK has stopped." (Screenshot attached)
This happens every time it is run, even after a fresh reboot. But doesn't happen in case the cache of the app is cleared. But this only helps for one run. By the time the app is run again, same error.
Anyone else facing the same issue? If yes, found any workarounds? Also, how do I get this info to Samsung? Can't find an official forum that I can post this, so that they get it fixed.
Help appreciated in advance :fingers-crossed::highfive:

Ever tried resetting the device? Or wiping cache in recovery?

Working fine over here

Just had a look: NO problems here...
Which font are you using on your S7Edge?
Is your device "rooted"? Have you "disabled" any apps?

@JohnLouise: Mine's not rooted... yet.. Also don't want to reset, which would mean setting up the device from scratch, time consuming, would like to avoid.
I clean the Storage time and again, a habit that I believe is good in the long run. I had done it an hour before the update and it worked without issues. No new apps were installed after that, which would point the fingers squarely at the update being the culprit.
@henklbr: No system apps disabled, although i have disabled all microsoft provided apps (but that shouldn't cause the issue). Also, its the Rosemary font. You can find it in Settings>Display>Font
FYI, I use the small version of the font.
Well, guess I have no other choice but to wait for the next update, or someone who has a solution to this, and hope its fixed, or my phone to go bonkers out of the blue, in which case i'll have to reset.

Wiping cache in samsung recovery mode? U don't need to be rooted on that. Maybe the update causes issues and wiping cache and dalvik will resolve the problem.

I'm having the same problem since the last update, and I'm not rooted either.

Same here. Even after factory reset and clear cache. Now disabled the service, no error notification anymore. but still. It's not usable anymore

any news? im having the same problem here
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

No problems here.
Rooted and on latest
(Allthough the latest Update, i installed from Fresh (Complete wipe and reinstalled everything)
I thought to myself a 5th dirty update is pushing it abit.
All working fine here:

Same here, although I have non edge version on stock ROM. Nothing helped, so far. Hope next update will fix it.

Same problem here. Haven't resettled or anything

Same Problem here after June update (German T-Mobile branding).
Tried several times wiping Cashe of everything that has something to do with Clean Master SDK, or Smart Manager.
Did not help.
Today, i tried Factory Reset.
Did not help.
Imediately after that... i downloaded the latest Firmware with SamFirm.
Flashed it via ODIN.
Did not help.....
What the actual ****.
This is annoying as hell tbh. Especially, since over time, a lot "trash" sums up >_>
My only Workaround now is, downloading the Cleanmaster App, and delete "trash" with that, and deinstall the app again because it sucks balls and is annoying.

Yes, this is a problem with SD card. I had same problem. Factory reset didn't help.
I tried clean my SD card from old and some corrupted files and now it works just fine.

Late reply but:
i'm on November Patch level right now, and... Clean Master out of the Samsung Smart Manager.... works. everytime.
i never removed my sd card or anything. it just suddenly works ^^
don't ask me why. maybe a firmware issue, and now it's gone.
But i'll reflash with Odin 100% fresh as soon nougat is out!

Can't update to Nougat

Hi guys, i Just bought the Nexus 6p, so Nexus Noob here, I downloaded and installed all the security updates month by month and all went well until I got the 7.1.1 update
The phone download 1.2 GB then when I tapped restart and install, the countdown for install started and when it finished it just said your phone is up to date, then when I tapped check it again said there's a 1.2 GB update for Nougat and started to download it from scratch
I did this three times and even wiped cache partition in between but it was just the same
I appreciate any help
Thank you

Update: I did a factory reset and now it just says my phone is up to date, It won't even show the 7.1.1 update to install anymore.

Download the 7.1.1 OTA image from Google, then sideload it using adb from recovery.

That's great to hear. I wonder if it pulled the downloaded OTA during the reset somehow and flashed it... Either way, glad it worked!

I got a question? I am rooted, running dirty unicorns and have received the 7.1.1 update notification. Obviously I don't want to update as it'll probably brick or take root from away. How does one get rid of the ota notification?

You can disable notifications by holding the it

Update: After the last factory reset and checking for the update a few times it finally showed the update again, downloaded it and installed it just fine
Finally on 7.1.1 yay, only problem is Data doesn't work anymore

did 6.01 ota popped out on your end? just got a new nexus 6p and from oct 2015 version it showed ota directly to 7.1.1... no 6.01?

Did you try clearing the system cache? That's generally a good idea after a major OTA.
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------
You can also try clearing the app data for your browser and see if that helps but I would clear system cache first.

Oh dam it doesn't do it automatically for me lucky

Update: I finally solved the problem, the issue was that the automatic settings had one mistake, some random proxy was set when it should haven been empty and I somehow manage to missed it when checking, I just removed the proxy and the browsers and Gmail app started to work, Thank you guys

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.

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.

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,

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,
JD
