How can I disable update notification?

I would like to disable my update notification since my phone provider from my country said that I shouldn't do an update while it's not official for the country. So the constant update reminder is really starting to bug me.
I've been told on other forums that i can disable the notification from Settings>About Phone> Update Settings, however i don't have this option on my G1. It has 1.0 version of android.
What can I do?

Nexus one Facebook app not working?

Hey, is anyone else getting an error message when trying to look at there notification in the FB app? i dunno whats going on, i never got any notification forwarded to my phone and when i try to check i get the error message

It's a problem with the Facebook app, not the phone. They're working on it.

yeah i figured! well its cool then i ll just wait for the update! thanks

I did have this error and I'm happy to report that it's working now.

I posted this earlier today in another forum on these boards, but there seems to be a temporary solution until the developer really fixes the app:
So I think I've figured out what's causing these notification parsing errors for now. The Facebook app should still be fixed to address these, but it seems like they're coming from third party Facebook applications that you've authorized to make updates to your notifications feed. I logged into Facebook on a regular browser and clicked on Notifications > See All, and then unchecked a bunch of apps from the "Applications You've Authorized" section. For the heck of it, I also went into Account Settings > Notifications and made changes there and suddenly I'm getting notifications in the Android app. It seems like some of the custom notifications from non-FB apps might be tripping up whatever is used by the Android app to parse the notification data.

Thanks for the heads up. I got rid of some other notifications I had like for my BB just in case.

It is pretty simple really. Just goto the bottom of the notifications page and select "Show More" if you don't see "Facebook for Android" otherwise click the checkbox next to it and you should be good to go.

mine started working today as well

About "Allow automatic updating" in Market

I've been searching around for abit and couldn't find answers, so please share if you have the answers
1. This feature, does it always update automatically? Or we can set it to do that only on Wifi, not on 3G? If so, How can I configure this?
2. Occasionally, the notification bar show "Market updates available" - is it the same thing? If not, How can I disable market do the upgrade check in background?
Thanks

1. When you install and application, and then click it again in the market, there will be an option to "Allow automatic updates"... you'll also see this option when Market detects an update is available.
2. Not the same thing... if it was automatically updating in the background, it would disappear from the notification bar... I'm pretty sure if you press Menu->Settings in market, there is an option to check for updates only while on Wifi.

About point 1... don't think I was very clear... I mean if I select the automatic update option, does that mean it will automatically update in background, regardless im on Wifi or 3G? Or it could be configure?

some one have an answer pls?
I would really like the auto update, but i don't have unlimited 3G package here in Vietnam (its really expensive for unlimited)

please someone know the answer pls

Don't worry you can configure that through market application...there is a tick box in every application were you can untick this and then you can update application when you want to

don't let it update automatically, i had it this morning; battery at 80% and noticed that it was downloading at gprs and 3g speeds(I bet it took him a few hours updating)
haven't had anything like that before, just since i'm on a different rom =/

Sadly I don't think you can control updates for the market online when on Wifi. If roaming data is very expensive for you I would suggest disabling it and only enable as and when you require it (hold down the power button and push "Data Network Mode" to activate/deactivate it)

thanks guys!

i have mine set to update automatically, as i have a 6GB data plan
so i'm not worry about the data usage
and it is AWESOME! everytime a new update is available it updates on its own
finally no more clicking update and clicking to confirm

Off topic but how much is data and phone calls in Vietnam? I'm interested in Vinafone

$3 = 300MB/month
call is about $0.05-$0.07/min
-> these are in country rates, not roaming.

[Problem] Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F restarts when opening text messages

Just yesterday my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F running Android 5.0 had a problem. When I open a text message, regardless of the sender, my phone automatically reboots. This doesn't happen all the time but it happens most of the time. At first I thought it was bad software so I did a factory reset but the problem is still there. I checked my battery and it's not bulging also. Nevertheless, I still used my phone even though it keeps on restarting and everytime this happens I carefully observed and what actions or situations might cause it and I came up with a finding. My phone only restarts when I open a text message in which the "Envelope" notification does not disappear on the status bar. Normally when you open an unread text message, the "Envelope" notification on the status bar should disappear since you already opened the message but mine doesn't disappear and after a few seconds my phone would restart. Can you help me on this? My phone is updated to the latest firmware provided for my region. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you using Kitkat 4.4.2 or Lollipop

Sounds like Samsung's messenger app is misbehaving.
Go to Google play and download "Google messenger" app. Install it and have it take over your phone's SMS handling.
Then go to settings, applications (under ALL tab find Samsung messenger app), and clear cache and data on the Samsung messenger app.
If you really like the sammy messenger, uninstall Google messenger, and the phone will default back to Samsung messenger.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply
I install Google Messenger, but no effect, the phone still reboot in edition mode
can be in sms or any dialog box

the pda version is G900FXXU1ANJ1

I can't tell what the problem is, but since factory resetting the phone doesn't resolve it, the android system files are probably corrupted.
Do your backups for files, photos, ... And use Samsung Kies software to fully reinstall the phone with factory software.
It will ask you for phone's serial number (on the sticker inside the phone, behind the battery, and the imei#) and then it will download the latest software straight from Samsung

It runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop. Well, I think I have found a temporary solution to my problem. In the Settings > Sounds and Notifications > Notifications > While locked, I changed from "Show all content" to "Do not show notifications and the problem doesn't seem to happen anymore but I am looking for a permanent solution since I am used to having my notifications displayed on my lock screen. Thank you.

HELP! Message Notification dissapears

If I receive a text message, I get a notification in the top bar. If i receive a second text the notification disappears from the top bar and I have no way of knowing that I have messages until I open the app. This is extremely frustrating especially since I am away from my phone often at work.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Sounds like an app causing a conflict... does it do it in Safe Mode?
To enter Safe Mode, press power until the Shutdown confirmation pops up, then long press the notification and acknowledge Safe Mode... the next boot will not load any user applications in memory, just basic Android services, test it there and see if it is still a problem, if not you have an app that is conflicting, if it is still there I would try a factory reset and test again.

It does not occur in safe mode. How would I go about figuring out which app is causing the conflict

This is a carrier SMS (text message) issue? Remove any app you can that deals with SMS or texting except the stock app, that is where I would start. Or any app that monitors notifications. Unfortunately, this is a trial and error process. Do you have a lot of apps installed?
Either that or factory reset, then add apps one at a time until it breaks.

Yes, unfortunately, I do have a lot of apps installed. How would I go about seeing what apps deal with notifications or SMS. Thanks

Honestly, I don't know... Do you have lots of texting apps?

Just whatsapp

Any other ideas anyone ? It is extremely frustrating.

Test to see if WhatsApp is your conflict. Uninstall it long enough to see if it is the culprit. If it is and you want to keep using it, I don't know how to fix it, but at least you know more precisely where to start.

It is not WhatsApp causing the issue. Any other ideas ? I'm surprised no one else has had this issue. It is extremely frustrating.

I am still having this problem. I also get "unfortunately messaging has stopped." When receiving messages from one particular contact.

There are other apps that can do texting and act as a messaging app...I.e Facebook messenger, Hangouts, Skype, etc. The are also apps with access to messaging which you can find on permissions. As stated by acejavelin, you will have to start doing trial and error as this appears to be an app conflict if safe mode works. The easiest first step is to deny permissions to messaging and see if you can find the culprit.
Are you rooted by chance? I'm not asking you to root if you are not and I'm not claiming root is the issue. Try denying messaging app permissions first one by one. You can find this in Settings, Apps, tap the gear icon in top right, App permissions, SMS. If toggling one doesn't fix the issue, toggle the next one off. Just make sure to leave the stock messaging app on. If the text notifications problem persists, report back.

I'm not rooted. I am going to try this today. Thank you.

So I tried this and went through each app and denied permission of SMS to each one, one by one. The same thing happened everytime no matter what.

Denying permissions was an idea to try and make as painless as possible. The only options left for you to try are the most painful. However, as was asked once already, could this be something to do with your carrier (or your friends). While you could start uninstalling ​apps one by one, I would recommend doing a factory reset and start fresh when prompted (don't let Google automatically restore your apps). If upon a fresh install and update of system apps your message notifications don't work correctly, then it is a carrier issue most likely which you would need to take up with them. If message notifications work properly, then start installing apps one by one and testing as you go. Whether you uninstall or install one by one, it is not a quick process, but with a factory reset, you get a refreshed phone.
