[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bnielsen40:
Titanium backup is an app from the market. With it you can uninstall system apps, or simply "freeze" them, meaning they are still there but no longer allowed to run.

"Device management" is the system app that's notifying you of the available ota update.

So, to answer your original question, download titanium backup and use it to freeze device management in order to get rid of the ota notification.

All this assumes of course that you are rooted and running a custom ROM. If you aren't on a custom ROM, then I wouldn't understand your wanting to avoid the update, as it appears it doesn't affect your ability to root, and may not even unroot your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alilkrazy550:
Will anything else be affected if you freeze that app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bnielsen40:

How to proceed with OTA update

Hello bnielsen40, everyone,

I would like to proceed with the OTA update on my Rooted GS2 but when it reboots to CWM recovery and I don't know how to continue from here to the OTA update so I just press restart and it loads back to where I was before, notifications start all over again,, Can any one help on how to load the update from CWM recovery boot??

Thanks,

nag persists

I upgraded my phone through kies and the nag persists. anybody in the same boat?

i had odin with cwm recovery and just upgraded through kies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] glennnall:
i just went through the exact same problem. go get Deodexed KL1 (i think it's a stock ROM) and it'll do what the new update is going to do, flash you to 2.3.6.

flash the modem, too, with Odin (KL1 modem) and then find your Device Management 10.* and Clear the Data using Perfect Backup (free).

i was unable to get rid of that nag/notification until i did that.

there may be other ways of Clearing the Data for Device Mgmt - maybe in App Manager. In any case, when i cleared the data the nag was gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Flash Mr X's deodexed stock rom. the rom your device downloaded is designed to work with your phones stock recovery and not with clockwork mod. X's rom works with CWM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MeBeavis:
Thanks guys. I should have waited for the hint. I ended up resetting the rom and it fixed the nag. So clearing the cache would probably fix it too and save me a lot of reloading of apps and settings.

[Q] Stop OTA for Samsung GS 2 on T-Mobile

Hello!

My wife has a rooted GS 2 with the stock ROM from TMO. I am concerned that the new OTA (T989VUVKL1)might break her root functionality, cause repeated update notification, or cause her phone to no longer work. Does anyone know the app or file I need to freeze or delete to stop the OTA from happening? At this point she is also getting the notification to update (eek!) At some point I will want to upgrade the ROM to the newest one assuming I can keep root access. Thank you for all your help and support!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Here's how I fixed it. Use a root explorer. Navigate to system/app and delete / backup both wssysync files. Reboot . Problem solved :-)

I basically downloaded the new ota update for uk downloaded and then wiped my sd card and then tryed updating the os. But now the phone is in a loop where it can't find the os and just hangs at the htc logo.

I know what i need which is the ota uk rom but I don't know where to get it from any ideas please guys......I'm running on my exs 6230 until I can sort out this issue.......

Sounds like you need to use the 3.08.405.3 RUU which is the latest WWE ROM. At this stage I don't think just he OTA file will help you.

From what the phone is showing it keeps searching for the ota os file which from my understanding should sort the problem out but once I got a way to transfer the file onto the sd card should be ok but I got to wait and see.

Hello, I have a question about the Gallery on the Nexus Galaxy. Is there a way to delete the "auto synced" albums from google+ and synced photos?

I wanted to use the gallery just for local photos that I take with the phone and that I import onto the phone from my computer, yet for some reason, even after I stopped syncing photos with google+ & synced photos, those stupid albums are still there, AND I cant take them off.

Has anyone found a way to take these off just so you have your camera album and other local only albums?

Thanks!

So I just got the Nexus today and so far I am loving it. One thing that is annoying me is that exchange contact pictures aren't showing up in the mail client. In fact for those colleagues that I have in my phone's contact list the email client is not recognizing them as the same contact. This worked without issue on my Rezound but that was using the HTC Sense email client. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change to get this to work on the Nexus?

My SGP5 battery has been wacky since day one. First few days I didn't think it would charge past 80%, but I found if you charged it overnight it would hit 100% (that's after an 8 hour charge to 80%).

Today it showed 100% all day. I booted it and now shows 30%. The settings battery status does not show actual time on the lower scale. Like I said I was at 100% all day, and the chart goes up to a 100% peak, but doesn't flatten or go down.... as if the battery clock stopped (not there is such a thing).

Can't do a battery pull... could rooting solve this issue? At least you can do a calibration with root. I just don't want to root if this will be fixed in an update. But I really don't like not really knowing how much battery is left.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] savergn:
I have a similar issue. It seems random- I use it all the time and literally 1/2 of the overnight charges I put it through it gets to either 80% or 100%. What I've noticed is that even when it says 80%, it still performed as if it was fully charged.

I rooted my device a few days after I got it and I honestly didn't notice the issue until after I rooted my device. So it may be different for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcat007:
I'm not rooted. Have you tried something like: http://www.appbrain.com/app/battery-calibration/com.nema.batterycalibration or manual calibration deleting the battery stat file? I'll gladly root if it solves this problem.

I want to create a folder in the "/" directory and make some symbolic link to the frequently used folders inside the sdcard , everyone know the top directory of the sdcard is a mess.

My phone rooted, and I successfully create a directory named "storage" in the "/" directory and do some "ln -s" things . it works fine . I can access the folders in the sdcard by the link I create. by the way I use "mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /" to gain the write permission.

But when i reboot the phone ,the "storage" folder is gone !

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Well updates *do* come directly from Google and the verizon bloatware is a nonissue (just Hide it and you'll never have to worry about it again). If you're worried about battery life just turn off LTE and enjoy great battery life.

Pros? Verizon has *much* better coverage than T-Mobile and LTE is much faster.

Keep the GSM unlocked GNex and don't buy the Verizon CDMA version that won't allow you to use a sim card from anywhere else. I also have a Skyrocket and it has LTE on AT&T and I really don't notice the difference in speeds from HSDPA+ on the GNex and LTE on the Skyrocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
If you turn off LTE, 1st you loose signal for a minute or so, 2nd you loose data + cell phone use together, and 3rd you are now stuck on slow CDMA that tops at 500kbps-1.5mbps near Boston area where Tmobile 3G is 2.5-5.5mbps and Tmobile 4G even faster

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You can use voice and data at the same time on 3G due to eHRPD.. or that's how it was on the thunderbolt at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
What? This has never been the case. CDMA phones always have 1x to fall back onto. You just can't use EVDO (3G) while on the phone because the phone defaults to 1x while you are on a call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
lol.....i already forgot all about Galaxy Nexus...and today my buddy tells me this. its gonna me 450 + 50 to ship.

I thought voice has priority over data on CDMA, no ? maybe thats why 2 of my friends told me that many of verizon calls go straight to voice mail ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon and never looked back. Verizon's coverage blows away T-Mo's, and LTE is real 4G with real 4G speeds. And why worry about updates? This is a Nexus with all of the development that brings with it. I don't know why you'd ever be on a stock ROM.

Simultaneous voice and data on LTE, plus voice takes priority anyways.

This is false. Voice takes priority over data.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bnguyen1983:
Seriously lol.

Verizon 4G LTE in Southern California ranges from 10-20 Mbs average 15 mbs. I canceled my home internet and just tether off my phone. With extended battery I get a full day of use before I charge and I dont even notice the extra size at all. One of the Verizon apps is extremely useful if you dont have unlimited data as it tells you what Verizon's data count is. I'd do it.

The one reason that I would not is if you travel internationally on a regular basis and few people do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] da0ne:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
It's for the LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I'm going to sum up every post like this ^^^ this one in a single reply.

Learn how CDMA works, plz, before ridiculing it. Voice always overwrites data. If you're browsing FB or syncing email and you get a phone call, the phone call *WILL* come through, and it will put your data connection on hold. Finish the phone call and your data connection is back.

And, of course, if you're on WiFi it'll do both at the same time no problem.

Oh, and to the poster listing the steps of being out of contact while switching from 3G to 4G and back...you're also completely wrong. Switching between data connections does *not* affect your voice connection, in the least. It'll interrupt your data connection, but only briefly (around 5-10 seconds, not the 1-2 minutes you're quoting from your "Idiot's Guide to the Internet" book).

Please do research before attempting to break down a technology. You come off sounding unintelligent and ignorant.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Also incorrect. LTE has the ability to use simultaneous voice and data, but currently Verizon isn't using this technology. They said they expect to have it enabled sometime in the near future (for future handhelds but also some of the more recent current models).

Hrm...maybe because either he gets bad service where he lives (always a possibility with T-Mobile) or he travels at all? T-Mobile has horrific coverage when it comes to anything outside of the main cities.

Or maybe he likes faster data?

Or maybe he doesn't want to be on a company that's going to be dissolved into *something* else soon (since Deutsche Telecom has been trying to get rid of them for almost a year now, and has flat out said we don't want to support T-Mobile anymore)?

Or maybe he wants to make use of free Mobile-to-Mobile calling (since a vastly larger customer base is under Verizon)?

^^Pick any of those^^
