Help How to turn off Android system update notifications

[KC13]

I like my phone exactly the way it is. I DO NOT like the way 5.0.1 looks from all the postings I have seen online. My phone keeps notifying me about the available 5.0.1 update and I'm offered options to be notified from 30 min to 4 hours later but no option not to be notified again. Is this possible? I do not want 5.0.1!!!

You might consider rooting the phone..

Not sure but try disabling Updater under settings, Apps, All.

Unfortunately, the disable button is greyed out.

Like my suggestion to disable the updater, that requires root access.

Ok, I searched back and this worked in the past for others - back to Apps management, All, Updater - clear data.

Hope that helps, not sure.

Those of us with root access how will the update affect us? I am fully rooted with S-Off with 4.4.4.

Don't take it.

It's likely to not want to install because your firmware is not what it expects - and many phones or roots get horribly screwed up in the attempt.

There's likely to be a root-flashable version of your update within a day of it coming out - if not hours or minutes.

Grab that, flash that - if you want it.

BINGO! Did this last night, and no reminders have popped up since! THANK YOU!

UPDATE: The notification is still showing up, but very randomly. It will go a few days without showing up, then notifies me a few times before going away again. I guess I will have to live with this......

Dear ******

Thank you for kindly providing the required information.

It is not possible to turn off the update notification off, you would have to install the sofware update. This being said, please let me know if you are having any particular issues to install the update.

Have a nice day.

To stop notifications without rooting!

To anyone still looking for a solution to this and doesn't want to root. Download Package Disabler Pro from the Play store ($2.98). For TMobile phones, search for "com.wssyncmldn". Click Disable. That's it.

I don't know if this will prevent your phone from pre-downloading the update but it at least stops the notifications.

This is what worked on my l70
No root needed!
dail 277634#*#
A system menue will show up
go to WLAN Test / OTA setting, select disable.
Reboot
Done!

How ever-
If you cant access this menue, but do have root, you can still fix this:
Start by using root explorer move these files to a different location (make a bacup folder on cdcard)
\ sbin \ lge_fota
\ sbin \ lge_fota_launcher
\ sbin \ lge_gota_launcher

Then , Settings -> App -> Google Services Framework -> Force Close -> Clear Cache -> Clear Data Subscriptions
Reboot
Done!

Does anyone know what the new name for the update is in order to disable it on Package Disabler Pro? com.wssyncmldm is no longer there. Any chance it's com.wsomacp?
