Looks like some "egg-headed" go-ogler was reading xda-dev forums and made "an adjustment" in recent Google Play code to re-enable those receivers.

So, Google in its "infinite wisdom" wants to continue to shovel its lollipop OTA update right in a face of those users who already said "NO" to an update...

PS: I also hope that those changes are fixed wakelock bug when SystemUpdateService is disabled (either with apps or from cli with pm help). Yes, only time will tell. If not, then I guess we can continue fight for our devices freedom from pesky lollipop OTA... it must be that good that everyone has to have one.
[Nexus 5 General] Anderson2:
Thanks. The asterisks appeared accidentally when I copy pasted. Where exactly is the "platform-tools" subfolder from the Android Development Tools (ADT)?

I've had no wakelocks (that I know of).
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
I had wakelock if disable the systemupdate service, and those receiver will re-enable itself when reboot after the latest google play service update.

I just let it download the update file, after finish download delete it from /cache, then tell it to reboot&install. Sure it will fail to install/reboot but it will not show the notification anymore, and no wakelock,and don't need to disable any service.
[Nexus 5 General] Moscha:
Perfect!

Until now this seems to be the only working solution for getting rid of the OTA Notification & Wakelock Problems! (all other ways described until now gave me Wakelock-Problems with the Google Play Services)

Did

adb*shell*su*-c*pm*disable*com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService

adb*shell*su*-

etc., give you wakelocks too?
[Nexus 5 General] Vlad_z:
I concur, after resent changes and after disabling service itself, my phone got wakelock. And because of that, it lost 15% of battery last night (8 hours) vs. 5% as usual.

Well, I have a lot's of words to say towards arrogance of Google but most of them start with "F", "B" and "S" - unfortunately unacceptable in forums.

Think about it, what is the reason of "forced/nagged" way to update to the "latest and greatest", when they cannot take NO as a customer choice? It's a BS!!!

Well, about work around when you let OTA download update.zip and then delete it... yes, this will help for a while, but nagging prompt WILL eventually returns. I've tried it previously, before I have found more permanent solution of disabling receivers (which is not working after latest update).

Hang with us, I have couple more ideas to try and I will report back.

[Nexus 5 General] Anderson2:
How did you reverse the effects of the adb commands?
[Nexus 5 General] Vlad_z:
I think I found possible solution... my phone sleeps like a baby again (when idle) and not yet fraking lollipop OTA popup. Did not see any bad side effects so far.

I will test a bit more and will post it. But you will need to reverse that adb script (for those who did not know, just replace "disable" with "enable" and "*" char with " " (space) and re-run it).
[Nexus 5 General] SanPe':
Any news?

I dunno what I did, but Google account manager downloaded 1Go of data through mobile data today without asking me...
[Nexus 5 General] Vlad_z:
Here we go. This is for Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.4. Next round of fight for freedom from nagging OTA update.

Obviously, you have to be rooted. Now, restore back (enable) Update Service.

Then, mount your SYSTEM partition as Read/Write using say Root Explorer and rename/make a backup copy of build.prop file to say build.prop.bak.

After that download my build.prop file and put in its place. Make sure that permissions and owner set as it were on original one. Reboot and enjoy till the next Google move...

PS: I might make an app to do such thing easier but now kinda busy with my day job. You tell me if build.prop file replacement is hard for you to do and you would like to have an app and I might spend next weekend writing it.
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
Change the fingerprint will have some side effect, one of them is the play store use it to determine which app and which version of the app should be available for you
[Nexus 5 General] Vlad_z:
Yes, but just slightly a version number...

I see my apps on Play Store no problem. But Update Service cannot find the update for me.

EDIT: so you as an app developer, when posting your apps on Play Store specifically make them available only for fingerprint:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227138:user/release-keys

and not available for any other fingerprints like:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.8/KTU88P/1227138:user/release-keys

or custom roms, right? Fingerprinting make sense when you are going to do partial update of binary code (as OTA does). Because you have to be absolutely sure that OTA deltas will be applied to that particular build and if it's not - no update for you! That's what I need.
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
Google, Sony, Samsung, HTC, and even some developer make some app available for specific fingerprint , if you going to change the fingerprint, it is better change to a valid one, such as those of other device.

for example, google use it to see if you should get a 4.x or 5.x version of the app, or the worse, not available if fingerprint mismatch.
[Nexus 5 General] Moscha:
Take a look at this, might be a good solution:

[MENTION=1387946]Moscha[/MENTION],

That's what we were doing until last Google update which started to re-enable those receivers.

[MENTION=743361]DummyPLUG[/MENTION],

The only Google fingerprint specific app I know is lollipop OTA update. Which I don't want and have no other way to tell Google to stop shovel it into my face.

Give me another fingerprint specific app which could be "incompatible" with given build.prop file. Just one concrete application?

Otherwise we will continue theorize on "could be/ would be" thingy.
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
whatever.

p.s. not specific to your 4.4.8 but for other version number, such as 4.0.0/4.1.9/4.2.9

[Nexus 5 General] Anderson2:
I'm no expert, but on someone's suggestion I did the following and it's worked with no wakelocks for 2-3 days.

1. Download the update but don't install.

2. Delete update.zip in \cache

3. Click to install the 5.01 system update which obviously fails.

4. Reboot.

No more notification of the system update.

No wakelocks.
[Nexus 5 General] play3r:
a temporary solution

A way to avoid the OTA notification popup is to leave an app running. I noticed that the popup doesn't cover the display of a running app. So, I've started leaving running an app such as "theScore" (since I'm following the NCAA basketball scores) on the display. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't matter what app you run, just as long as it's not a performance hog.

Not a true solution, I know, but better than closing the OTA popup all the time.

[Nexus 5 General] Anderson2:
I never get any popups. I just get an icon in the notification bar and now no longer even after several reboots.
[Nexus 5 General] spke711:
Thanks so much for this, Vlad_z! This Lollipop OTA notification has been driving me crazy for several days and has been absolutely killing my battery. Your fix has worked perfectly for me.
[Nexus 5 General] sarov:
Since yesterday it appears android 5.1 ota notification. I tried to stop it following the steps that described in first post.

The problem is i cant find the com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ Receiver under after startup category.

Instead i disabled gfs.update.SystemUpdateService$ Receiver but ota notification keeps appearing after every restart.

I have stock android 5.0.1 installed.

Any suggestion?
[Nexus 5 General] Vlad_z:
[MENTION=3751180]sarov[/MENTION],

Well, this is for 4.4.4 KitKat to prevent lollipop OTA.

And besides, since last GooglePlay update - disable receivers is not an option anymore.

You can say "Yes" to update and then when it will ask for reboot, delete update.zip from cache. So, after failed update, Google will leave you along for some time.

Or try to change your build.prop file (version/signature) to reflect that you already have 5.1. This way, I'm sure notifications will stop for good. Later, when you will need 5.1 just revert back your build.prop file.
[Nexus 5 General] sarov:
OK. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 General] kevev:
New fix

This is what I did on 4.4.4:

Go to settings --> Apps --> All --> Google Play Services. Disable Notifications. Not sure if it will break anything else.
[Nexus 5 General] karameleios:
Got rid of OTA the easy way!

I accidentally downloaded the OTA. I'm on KK 4.4.2 and was forced to Lollipop 5.0. I had the annoying notification constantly in my system tray. What I did:

- Used ES Explorer and in settings/tools activated Root explorer option

- Browsed to /cache and delete FOTA folder which seemed empty. I searched for update.zip after but never found it.

- I click the notification and said installed. Phone rebooted and started update process, I thought I failed and was getting the update but after 1 min. it booted back in android with a dialog that update failed and asked to perform it through Kies.

- Notification is gone for now!! Yay!

I recommend doing that instead of freezing or locking autostart services as it is less invasive and much simpler.

Did the last mentioned method to avoid the annoying OTA message. Let the phone download the file, deleted .zip in /cache and clicked on reboot. But my phone won't reboot to fail updating, it's simply doing nothing. Let's hope the trick still works.
[Nexus 5 General] DamnItLukasz:

[Nexus 5 General] californicated:
Are you sure that you're not getting any wakelocks? My device won't sleep after disabling all that stuff.
[Nexus 5 General] kevev:
Don't do it the hard way. Just disable notifications in Google Play Services under Apps in settings. No hacking needed. No battery drain.
[Nexus 5 General] DamnItLukasz:
Mine didnt sleep at first neither, but I just re-enabled SystemUpdateService on Disable Service app and that got rid of the wakelock.

Edit:

It seems that after every reboot all those things manage to wake up again, so yeah, not so perfectly tho.
[Nexus 5 General] californicated:
What I don't like about hiding the OTA notification, is the fact, that the update service is still running in the background. The solution just doesn't feel clean/lean/or whatever word you want to use for that. Same applies for downloading OTA file, deleting it in /cache and telling the phone to install update.
[Nexus 5 General] hello world1:
Just uncheck all the permissions of /cache/update.zip with R.E. before the OTA download is complete.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert95:
Hello, i'm writing this thread because i have been getting this annoying wifi bug for a while now, the problem is that when i'm using the "Keep Wifi on during sleep" option on Always, when i put the phone to sleep sometimes the wifi stops working and i stop receiving notifications from any app that requires an internet connection, when i unlock the phone and pull down the status bar i'm still connected to the wifi network but the icon is in orange color which means it's not getting any data, and in order to fix this i need to turn off and on the wifi and it starts working again but it's annoying because sometimes the phone is locked and someone sent me a whatsapp message and i don't receive it until i notice that my wifi is bugged.

This bug happened to me when i was using cm 11 and after that i changed the rom to slimkat (fresh install of course) and the bug appeared again. Anyone experienced this bug before and could help me out please? Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrcucarull:
Hi,

Three weeks ago I had my SGSIII rooted and with a custom ROM and regular backup in the external SD card and everything was working OK.

I wanted to remove all the information form the internal memory and decided to format the internal memory, so using CWM (6.0.4.7) I made all the wipes and formatted:

/system

/cache

/preload

/data

I think that one of those formats was the source of the error, but I don't know which one!

Afterwards I tried to access the externalSD card from the restore menu to restore one of my NAND backups, but the extrenalSD card was not accessible (E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1) neither from the install zip menu (same error). the SD card was OK because was workable in another phone. I tried to mount the external SD card from the mounts and storage menu but gave an error (Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!)

Since I could not restore my NAND backups, I restored the stock ROM (JB 4.3) using odin and afterwards I rooted the phone and install again CWM (6.0.4.7) but the problem persisted and now I am using the stock ROM and can access the external SD card from android normally.

I have looked about this error and all the cases I have found are using older versions of CWM and recommend to format the external SD card, so I did, but the problem persisted.

So my questions are:

- What have I done wrong?

- How can I fix it?

Afterwards I thought that I could copy the NAND backup from the external SD to the internal memory so I made NAND backup to see where it was stored, but using ultra explorer I cannot find the location (furthermore, according to the DiskUsage App the space is used but does not inform me where it is).

I have asked Google for the location of the backups in the internal memory (I can not recall such locations) but the folders did not exist or where empty. So:

- Is it possible to copy a backup from the external SD card into the internal memory?

- How can it be done?

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the lengthy post.
