Hello all,

I have the droid razr hd. i already disabled auto app update. however, my phone is still allowing SYSTEM UPDATES to automatically download. how do i stop this?

thanks
 
you dont. well, not really. when there's a system update, you'll get a prompt. you typically have to accept the update. if you get the notice and don't select to defer the update, it'll happen on it's own. a friend of mine was setting an alarm for every 12 hours to remind him to stop the update.

Have you had a system update notice since this? I'm still running ICS and do not want to change to JB and get that annoying notice to install now/later every 12 hours. Wonder if I restrict BD for moto svcs, will it block the notice every 12 hrs?
 
Six years later it is still the same: "Auto-update" disabled globally and individually for each app, still the apps are continuously auto-updating, no matter what I do.
Activating the "Ultra data saving mode" of the Smart Manager app (it's a Samsung thing I guess) will disable the background data for all apps.

Another more drastic option could be to disable the Google Play Store in Setting > Application and enable only when needed.
If you are bothered only by the auto-update of the Galaxy Apps (the auto-update option will regularly self activate each time you disable it) you can disable the entire Galaxy Apps in Setting > Application.
