[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] northernassassin:
Not from what I've read, read on this site an official statement from dolphin saying flash wasn't supported on 4.4. Besides I find that dolphin's flash support is not always the best, i like having a few browsers because I find certain browsers handle certain sites flash better. My biggest concern is if I power the device off will I be forced to update since my nexus 7 has already downloaded but not installed the update. Im perfectly fine with 4.3 except the touch issues when the n7 is not plugged in or in my hands....grounding issue I believe?

Also if I did a factory reset would that force me to 4.4?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] and2nckiko:
Nope...:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
The one way that I know of how to stop an OTA update first requires that you be rooted. If so you can use an app called Autostarts. Open the app go to Menu click on "Group by application." Scroll down to "Google Services Framework" and click on that. At the top you will see 4 "After Startup" entries. Click on the third "After Startup" entry from the top. In the popup window you should see "SystemUpdateService$Receiver" in the description, that's the one you want to disable. To delete the update I'm not 100% positive but I'm thinking if you delete the cache from Google Services Framework that will delete the update. Or Settings/Storage and click on "Cached data." Honestly, those are guesses because it's been a longtime since I've had to do that! SD Maid Pro will delete the update also but that app also requires root. After flashing the 4.4 factory image when it first came out I went back to 4.3 until I find a replacement for the AOSP Browser, damn it google!

Edit: Decided three weeks ago to give Dolphin another try, installed on my N5 with a hacked version of the flash player and it's working great! Used the factory image to flash 4.4.2 on the N7 and installed Dolphin Browser which now has the Jetpack built-in and it works well! Dolphin Browser with hacked flash player.

I guess I misread the changelog
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] northernassassin:
I'm still not clear as to whether I can power the device off safely without itnforcing me upgrade. I'd really hat to brick my n7 by losing flash support. Also where exactly is the update located so I could possible erase it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alpine101:
It's the zip file in /cache. It will reappear though. Rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip. And then don't go into the updates screen again, it will trigger the download which is several hundred megabytes once more. You need to be rooted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] airberger:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alpine101:
Indeed, just installed this and after a reboot, the prompt has gone away and it tells me the system is up to date. Thanks. And another demonstration that people don't come here simply to get hold of custom roms!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] northernassassin:
Thanks for all the answers but nobody has yet to give a straight forward answer as to whether I will be forced to update if I reboot my n7. Sometimes I'm forced to reboot when I have a hang up and I'd hate to think when that day comes I'm going to be forced to update to kitkat. I'm also not rooted and would like to stay that way. I know to many of you it seems quite easy but everything I've read makes it seem very daunting and confusing. Kernels, bootloaders, Roms, flashing....its a lot more than I thought it would be when I went android.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I have rebooted many times while the update notification was present and never had the upgrade automatically applied.

I haven't rebooted into recovery though so I cannot say if what I said holds if you do that.

For me, I'd just add an empty line to /system/build.prop

It is an empty line so it is assured not to change any behavior and every OTA update will try and patch build.prop at which point it does a SHA1 checksum compare, finds your current build.prop has been modified, and stops the OTA before it even starts modifying a single file.

This assures you that if by accident you select the OTA to install, it won't actually do anything.

You can do similar things with other files, I just chose build.prop as an easy example.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Joppykid:
If you take your time and read instructions carefully its very easy to root a Nexus 7. Either way, why don't you just reboot it and see if it goes to 4.4 and then do a factory reset. That should bring you back to your out of box jelly bean. Of course you'd lose your data but you can back that all up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sordna:
I deleted the update from /cache and got rid of the notification but if I go to system,about device,updates it still tells me the update is "downloaded and verified". How can I make it realize the update is no longer there?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] picrthis:
Hello, I did that ^^^^^^^^^^ using autostarts and checked it several times to be sure I had it correct.

All seemed good, except today an update from VZW went through on me and I didn't want it to. I looked in the cache dir and nothing was in there, yet the phone kept saying it wanted to install the update. I kept telling it not right now, but after awhile it had a mind of it's own and installed/updated anyhow. My VZW GS4 went from MJ7 to MK2 not even sure what changes it made, I'm still on JB 4.3 and I don't want KitKat 4.4

I don't understand how the update came through and where it was d/l to, I checked yet again and the "SystemUpdateService$Receiver" is disabled, exactly as shown in your pics. The broke my Root, but I still showed custom when it re-booted, so it wasn't too hard to establish Root again. Now I'm very worried that sooner or later they are going to push/force KitKat 4.4 to the S4 and I don't want it; I should have a choice to not accept it, it's my device that I paid for :rolleyes:

Any ideas on this before KK 4.4 bites me?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
Sorry. As far as I know blocking "SystemUpdateService$Receiver" will only work on Nexus devices and maybe GPE devices. And doing so has never broken root on any of my devices. I vaguely remember that on HTC devices there is an HTC app in system/apps that had to be renamed or deleted to stop OTA updates. My One X is on a newer build than the stock One X and would have to do some research to remember. So... I don't know but I'm going to guess that there is something similar with Samsung. Nexus devices get their updates from google.Your S4 got it either from VZW or Samsung. I would do a search on the S4 forum. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] picrthis:
Yes VZW pushed it, that was clear by the message, it wasn't samsung.

Thanks for your help anyways, at-least I got some good tools in my hand now too, also I just got maid pro too; off to do some reading to see if I can find an answer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
Ok. I'm still guessing there is an app from Verizon in system/apps that handles the updates. The last time I saw an OTA update it was on my N7 and I believe it was in "cache."
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] picrthis:
Yes on my Nexus 7 it came into the /cache DIR (kitkat 4.4) and I got rid of it; now to figure out were VZW pushes it to since I have Root I can get rid of it.

Thanks

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
G2 seems to have worse LTE reception compared to few other devices I had, is there anyway to disable LTE and go down to HSPA or HSPA+?

I know my area has terrible LTE coverage, but for some reason it sticks to LTE even if it means I am forced to 0.3mbps speeds! Ouch.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woof123:
You can disable LTE from the service menu,use the code 5457#*(your phone model here)# And you will find an option there with the bands to do so.You can enable only the ones you want and dissable all others.Dont change anything else tho.I cant tell you exactly where you will find it cause the menu is slightly different for every variant it seems.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
Thank you so much, I remember now people were running this trick on Nexus 4, but sadly it did not work. When you say Model here, I just put numbers only right? I got the D800 from AT&T, in dialer I just hit 5457#*800# and hit call, nothing happens, I get invalid MMI error. I tried 5457#800# no luck.

However, using your suggestion, I found the code to access service menu, but it wasn't as clear as I hoped it would be so I did not touch anything.

AT&T LG G2 D800 Service Menu: 3845#*800#
T-Mobile LG G2 D801 Service Menu: 3845#*801#
Verizon LG G2 VS980 Service Menu: 3845#*980#
Sprint LG G2 LS980 Service Menu: 3845#*980#

I expected on/off switches, but there is WDCMA-Only, LTE-Only, and nothing else. There is no HSPA or HSPA+ only or any switch, and I don't want to hit LTE only assuming that will limit the reception to LTE and I will get stuck with no coverage when there is no LTE. :eek:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascertion:
On Sprint, I can go into data settings via dialer (##3282#), and edit LTE screen (requires service code). From there, I can disable LTE and force CDMA/EvDo. Of course, this is on Sprint variant, not sure how AT&T/T-Mobile does it or whichever carrier you're on.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie Dub:
I believe if you go into settings and go into the mobile networks menu, there is a menu that allows you to choose whether the phone will go into LTE if available or just stay on 4G HSPA+. I'm getting my G2 tomorrow, so I don't remember exactly how I did it when I played with it in the store. If you can't find it, I'll let you know what it is once I get my phone. This is with the T-Mobile G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
In order of Nice to Naughty,

Sprint

T-Mobile

AT&T

Verizon (wayyyyy low in the list, naughtiest)

So, considering above, I am pretty sure A&T disabled that menu you are referring to (In Mobile Networks) some confirmed it working on Sprint, but I don't think it is available on AT&T. I am stuck with LTE.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie Dub:
Sorry, missed it earlier when you said you were on AT&T. Are you able to go to Settings > Tethering & networks > Mobile networks > Network mode? With the T-Mobile version, there's gsm/wcdma/lte auto, gsm/cdma auto, wcdma only, and gsm only selections under the Network Mode menu. That would really suck if they diabled that setting. I'm assuming you're on stock unrooted.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
Nope, it's not there.

ATT disabled it.

Installing apk from jelly bean will fail as it has lower version (and it might be not the only reason).

Do you know how or if we can get landscape in the new dialler? With the 4.3 one, the dialler automatically switched to landscape when docked in the car, which the Kitkat one doesn't seem to do.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] smar:
Thanks and yes I am already using that Xposed mod just to get some degree of landscape as unfortunately it doesn't give a 'proper' landscape mode. It just expands/compresses the portrait screen into landscape. So for example, the dialpad becomes almost unusable with the rows of numbers overlapping etc. On the 4.3 dialler, when docked, it brought up a properly formatted landscape mode, with the caller image on the left, and buttons on the right.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] llaugerm:
You can install Contacts+ from the play store. I would say it is a nice dialer to replace the stock.

Is there an app or setting floating around somewhere that moves all the hotspots on the screen to the left side? An example of what I mean being on the Steam app there's a shortcut that goes directly to chat. Can we feasibly move that to the left instead of the right with just flipping a setting, preferably across the device? Considering I moved up from an HTC Aria/Liberty, this screen is *colossal* to me so it's a bit of a stretch.
