Block System Update Notification

[041112]

Anyone here know of a means, preferably an app from Google Play, or method to block or disable the system update notification without rooting the device?

The only trick I know is when the update appears and asks you what to do, offering Now, Later and More Info, tap More Info and IMMEDIATELY yank the battery, leave out for about thirty seconds. That way it’ll write you off as a responder and won’t pester you again. I don’t know if this works in any situation, but it certainly worked when Sprint tried to cram some rotten Gingerbread down my throat.

Thankyou for replying.

The constant system update notifications are definitely sickening.

What do you mean by

... write you off as a responder ...

Does your method stop the system update notifications forever or will I get notifications again when a different system update is released?

I read your comments at androidforums.com/lg-optimus-s/525612-sprint-optimus-s-gets-second-chance-gingerbread-update.html. I found that thread in a serp after searching the instructions you gave here.
