[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mi_eu:
We have some Note 4X Phones in use. Generally, we are satisfied. But this daily and recurrent notification, which is showing in the status bar (in the drop down notifications), is not acceptable.

Of course, we have disabled all settings in the Updater App, which are possible for disabling.

As long as the 8.5.8.0 is not as good as the 8.2.10.0, and as long the 8.5.8.0 has bugs, we are not able to update. Therefore it is no solution to do what the Updater want to do. Also all solutions which require a rooting are not practicable, because due security reasons, rooting is not allowed.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mi_eu:
?

ALL Buttons and Switches in "Settings>Notification and Status bar>App: "Settings">" are disabled. Except the first one setting "Show Notifications", because this one is not selectable (it is faded out).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mi_eu:
Thank you very much for your help.

Unfortunately, I have already disabled "auto updates" in the "Updater App". But this was no improvement.

In the meantime I've tried a second setting, but also without success:

I'm here: Security App - > Data Usage - > Restrict Data Usage - > System. Here I've disabled the "Updater App".

But all Apps here are listed in the column "Mobile". Now, this means, the disabling only works during a mobile data connection. Therefore, the disabling will not valid during a WLAN session.

The second indication is, that in the following path: "Security App - > Data Usage - > Restrict Data Usage" there exists not only the menu "System". The second selectable menu here is "Installed". Under the menu "Installed" there are listed many apps. And here are exists two different columns. One column is called "WLAN", the other column is called "Mobile". And all apps are listed in both columns. The reason is that the users have the choice to restrict data either for "WLAN" or for "Mobile".

But the bad thing is that in the menu "System" there only exists the column "Mobile".

Now, how can I restrict the data for the Security App also for a WLAN connection?

But as I described above, anyway this solution also doesn't work - if anything, than only with a mobile connection.

But principally, the aim isn't to restrict data, the goal is how to avoid the notification of that stupid "Updater App"?

Has anyone a working solution for me?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Muzam:
Force stop the app and dismiss the notification

And don't open the update settings again
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] xezrunner:
You could try disabling the Updater application with ADB.

Get ADB & fastboot here from XDA from this link, install it on a computer.

Then, enable Developer options. Go to Settings -> About device and tap MIUI version a few times until it says they've been enabled.

Now go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer options and enable USB debugging.

Connect the phone to the computer, type 'adb devices' without the quotation marks and make sure the phone is detected. The phone will pop up a notice to confirm you trust the computer.

Now, type 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.updater' without the quotation marks. This will disable the built-in Updater app, removing any notifications coming from it.

This does not require root.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] k3lcior:
Just use Titanium Backup and freeze Updater app.

It will not show anything until you run it manually, or you restart phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] edwardenglish:
This is the best solution, it helped me.

You can map your back button with long press to force close any app. If you mapped it, just open updater and long press the back button. It will close updater app and dismiss its notification. It will only come up again if you manually open the Updater app again and search for updates.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Muzam:
Also its not necessary to map the nav keys

Just hold the app window from recent apps view to get app info and hit force close button at bottom.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] d8v8n8:
On my phone, the 3Gb Global Version, some MiUi app can't be frozen, including updater.apk (MiUi 9.2.1.0).

Coming back to this topic, I made a backup of the aforementioned apk with Titanium. Would it be safe to uninstall it completely or should I go the ADB route? I'm asking because the case happened to me once with another phone where the system wouldn't be the same despite the backup-restore by Titanium.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] k3lcior:
You could uninstall but make sure to backup it first in case you run into some issues, personally i'd just freeze it. (it will appear as uninstalled until phone restart)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] d8v8n8:
When I click freeze in Titanium, nothing happens, the app isn't marked as frozen and stays available. I tried to freeze with other apps as well but always ended up with the same unsuccessful result.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] k3lcior:
It wont run unless you run it yourself which unfreezes it. Dont tell me it doesn't work because i do it all the time and no updates show up.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] severica25:
correct me if im worng, titanium backup freezing function only works if you have paid version.

Maybe you don't have that.

try it with some other app like Lucky Patcher, that app isn't primarily for freezing aplication but it have option under tools to freeze packages. Just be careful to not play around with other tools if don't know what it used for.

Sorry if it were out of topic, but I'm wondering whether it is possible or not to edit the build.prop (for gcam} through adb on non UBL and non ROOT Redmi Note 4
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] regH379:
Hi,

I have experienced a similar annoying behaviour with a Redmi Noted 4, but I assume, it was not about the updater, but rather about the MIUI Forum. So I went to settings, installed apps, MIUI Forum,

- other permissions, UNchecked:

-- read service SMS

-- modify system settings

-- turn wi-fi on or off

-- turn Bluetooth on or off

-- be shown on lock screen

-- start in background

- notifications, UNchecked:

-- show notifications

-- app icon badge

-- lock screen notifications

-- sound

-- vibration

-- notification light

- restrict data usage

-- Wi-Fi

Not sure, whether this would help you, but I would give it a try...

KR,

H.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] patrickdrd:
can we safely disable it using adb?

because I disabled a ton of miui apps using adb and my phone didn't start again (brick/stuck in bootloop) and

I had to send it to the service and I don't want to go through it again..

don't do it, bootloop reported:

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=1858010&pid=24528871

so, miui forum is throwing the update notification and not the updater? have you tested it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] xezrunner:
I apologize that my method causes a bootloop, I had no idea it does that. I should have looked it up. Sorry!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] prashanth_:
Settings-> Installed apps-> Updater-> Force Stop and then Clear All data.

Don't open the System Update option under About Phone.

Works for RN4 with Global stable 9.5.8.0 NCFMIFA on receiving 9.5.9.0 update notification.

Though, I couldn't find a way to disable the app icon badge for Settings app.

Edit: The badge count disappeared sometime after I cleared the data of Settings app.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] patrickdrd:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ishanjain28:
Stopping MIUI Updater

It was not your method that caused Bootloop. He said, "He removed many other apps with that method' which is what caused the boot loop.

I know because I did the same thing today. I uninstalled about a dozen system apps on my note 5 pro and my phone got stuck in bootloop.

Then, I wiped the phone, and retried. This time around, I disabled the following apps that came installed on my phone and this hasn't caused a boot loop. There must be some other app that is not on this list that causes the boot loop.

com.android.updater

com.miui.analytics

com.facebook.service

com.myntra.android

com.miui.cleanmaster

com.xiaomi.mipicks

<couple more third party apps, like Facebook app updater, Amazon>

Note: While, com.android.updater and com.miui.analytics can be uninstalled safely without causing any trouble, These apps get reinstalled when you restart the phone.

The Updater app on MIUI is a work of some idiots who adopted Windows 10 like crap. It silently starts the update even when I have disabled automatic updates and all related settings. The `pm uninstall` method works on non rooted devices and it works well as long as I don't restart my phone which is a big relief.

The next update on my phone is 9.5.19 and I don't want to go to it because of all the Anti rollback stupidity. Just waiting for someone who can explain it in detail and then I'll make my mind.

Possible solution

When the updater downloads automatically, goto to File manager > Internal Memory > downloaded_rom... delete all the content.

Update icon shows up ... Settings > Installed Apps > All > Updater > Click it > Force Stop > Clear Data.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] xiaomiredmi4xne:
solution

a definitive solution is the following, but you have to be root:

go : system/build.prop and edit it, in the version of miui put the latest version

for example i have a redmi 4x:

ro.build.version.incremental=V9.5.4.0.NAMMIFA =========>ro.build.version.incremental=V9.6.4.0.NA MMIFD

author: me

if it works for you, commen
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] akshmau5:
You're so right about them being idiots. Lol. Anyways use this link to download the debloater tool from the reddit thread's wiki. It will help you to safely uninstall any system apps without root too. Plus the apps that are needed are not mentioned in the debloater, unfortunately 1 of them being stupid updater. Here it goes- https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/index

Credit goes to Saki_EU. Many thanks!!

For the updater to stop bothering use the force close option as mentioned in this thread for non rooted devices and for rooted devices any app that helps in freezing the damn thing like TitaniumBackup pro, SD maid pro or the free one like somebody else mentioned (sorry i don't want to name it as Xda abhors using that app apparently). The a**hole thing starts on reboot, atleast for the non rooted devices.

For rooted devices it doesn't unfreeze itself after rebooting, after using the debloater tool. So there is some system app that i have uninstalled via the debloater that helps with this.

Another option might be to use Netguard for non root and AFwall+ for rooted to stop the bas**** from connecting to the internet. Haven't tried this myself.

DON'T uninstall it.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ST Dog:
The October patches were not released until 4 days before this update was released.

No way they incorporated and tested a new build in 4 days.

If they just released the August patches, that's ~60 days to incorporate and test the changes.

Just be happy you got that. Some of us are still several months farther back.

If you want fast updates, unlock the bootloader and run a custom ROM that gets more frequent updates. (That was one of the reasons I chose this phone, but I have needed to do it yet)

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jw77:
Hi there,

I broke my screen a few weeks ago. After replacing it, I noticed that the volume buttons didn't work anymore. At first I thought it would be a software issue, but I was proved wrong a few days later when the power button stopped working, too. :silly: Now I have a phone with a brand-new screen which I cannot boot any longer because of the lack of any physical button.

Anyhow, the phone is charging when plugged in. I already disassembled the phone again and tried some tricks putting the battery in and out but without any result: A battery is shown on the screen and the phone continues charging.

Is there a chance to start my XT1562 again without power and volume buttons?

Thanks in advance!

Since this last update that sony rolled out to the my phone my bluetooth will not work at all. I can turn bluetooth on but I get a message that pops up immediately that says Bluetooth share has stopped with an X and close app message. If I tap close app the message disappears and bluetooth turns off and turns back creating the same problem over and over. I cannot turn off bluetooth from the quick settings bar, I have to go into settings and turn it off. Anyone else with this issue or have a workaround or fix for it?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] PoppaChop:
Bluetooth notifier won`t go away

I have a problem where I have a message that pops up and says, "Bluetooth Share keeps stopping."

It has, "Close App" with an X beside it. (only option)

I tap it and it reappears a second later.

I've painstakingly gotten into settings (constantly closing this notifier) and opened Bluetooth and it`s not on so I turned it on but no difference. (notice still popping up)

So I turned it back off (no difference).

I've restarted phone (still happens).

I've turned phone off for 5 minutes and turned back on (still does it).

I've just discovered I can turn it off by sliding down from the top while locked but after a second or 2 it starts blinking so I open it and find it's back on.

Last app I installed was Torque Pro but uninstalled it when this problem arose, thinking it was trying to connect to my OBD2 scanner.

I managed to get a screen shot after many attempts but can't send it as the notifier keeps interrupting.

Wow, no idea why but it's just now stopped doing it after hours of pain.

What the hell?

[T-Mobile LG G4] betatest3:
​

First off, yes, I know both are old phones, and probably not the best choice for 2017/2018 use, but I like them anyways, don't judge.

Right now, I have an LG G2(from 2013), I would like to replace it with a G4. I have heard about rampant bootloops from the G4 via Reddit, and to some extent, this forum.

Reddit will have you believe that all G4's will eventually bootloop, no people should ever buy them, they are terrible, get a V20, things like that. Is it true or is the issue just blown out of proportion?

So basically, is it safe to buy a G4?
[T-Mobile LG G4] Joe USer:
It's a decent phone but you can do better nowadays. It's my daily phone and it bootlooped and was replaced by LG a year ago.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
its unknown if it will bootloop or not.. seems that after 510 batches are better and chances are very very low. last phone i heard it bootlooped was a 603 but like 2-3 reports unlike the old one.. i myself have a 601 wich i flash weekly or every 3-4 days.

so id say if you get a 601 or onwards go ahead. nice camera we have nougat . its night and day difference then MM.
[T-Mobile LG G4] betatest3:
Well, I know I can do better nowadays, it is just that I am not a fan of the changes that have been done to modern phones.

Like the LG UX from G5 onwards, the volume/power buttons placement, 18:9 aspect ratio, headphone jacks being removed, etc...

Thats why I have kept my G2 for so long, but it is starting to overheat, battery is craptastic, and it is in general not able to handle modern functions like WiFi calling, VoLTE, LTE Band 12, Qi charge, among others.

If LG had kept the same button layout, kept the removable battery from the G4(I know G2 doesn't have it, but I expect any upgrade to have it), kept LG UX 4.0(maybe it could use some fixes and refinement, but it is better than the crap they have now), and kept the standard 16:9 screen ratio, I would be perfectly happy to use a V30 or a G6.
[T-Mobile LG G4] betatest3:
Ok, seeing as the bootloop issue is not as bad as it seems from Reddit, I have decided, I will probably get a V10.

Thanks everyone!
