Any idea how we can disable power management tips? What system app they come from? Just annoying...
I think they're coming from the Stamina feature. I got them a lot for the first few days after i started using the ZU, but i haven't gotten them in the last 4 weeks, and i didn't do anything about it.

Ah, that might explain it. I'm on 257 (latest firmware), and i haven't seen it again. Sony might have noticed it too and removed it in the latest firmware. Be aware that if you want to update - and if you're currently rooted, install OTA Root Keeper from the Play Store before you update through OTA. If you're not rooted and not interested in rooting, then just update as usual.
C6833? It's not showing me any updates available.
It should show an update if you connect your ZU to Sony Companion on your computer, but you'll lose root if you update it that way. If you want to update OTA, you'll have to change your CDA in build.prop to a country that has received the update OTA. I still don't know if you're rooted, so just connect your device to your computer and install Sony PC Companion from Sony's site. It should say that an update is available. If you're rooted and want to keep root, then change your CDA and update OTA, or wait until you get a notification that says an OTA is available.

Huh.. You're in the UK, which isn't exactly Antarctica, and i believe i've read about people in the UK getting the .257 update, so i'm not quite sure what's going on. BUT, since you're rooted and i guess you want to keep root, change your CDA to a country that has received the OTA update. I don't know which countries, but i bet you'll be able to get some help in the 257 thread (here in the Q&A section, right below this thread). After you've changed the CDA, open SuperSU and choose "Survival Mode" (or something like that) in its settings, or install OTA Root Keeper from the Play Store.
Did anyone ever figure out how to stop the power management tips, they are driving me insane. An apk we can freeze with titanium maybe?

No, on 257 and they are still a PITA. If we knew what the app is we could just mark it not to show notifications in Apps. But we don't.

Bugger.... I can see me flashing a custom ROM just to get rid of them... I'll wait for a fully working 4.4 ROM first though..

I found the app, it's "Eco mode controller" - but in Apps the "Show notifications" checkbox is greyed out so they can't be disabled. Maybe if rooted - I lost root when I updated to 257.

Its not a problem, I don't use that feature
edit I can confirm that trying to select stamina mode after doing this will cause System UI to FC. I'll report back tomorrow if it stopes all the annoying power management tips.
came here to ask the same Q. it keeps asking me to "consider enabling stamina mode" and no option to never ask that annoying question again.
i already froze eco mode controller a few days ago but it still pops up (when the alert shows, go to app info for that task and it shows eco mode controller). how is it still working if it's frozen?
might just remove the damn thing
I use Stamina, so that's not my issue. My issue is that it says that I should disable WiFi when I'm not using it or something. It tends to pop up when I haven't used the ZU for a couple of hours.

So, I finally rooted my phone yesterday.
Then, today, I start getting full-screen messages from AT&T saying that there's a software update and they want me to connect to WiFi to download right now. There's only a "next" button and no "cancel" button.
Is anyone else getting this nag screen? I've heard mixed reviews about this update (I presume 2.3.6) and I also read that I'll lose root if I update.
So, how do I kill the nag screen for good? And, if I go forward with the update, will my frozen and layed-over apps (apps I've loaded on top of frozen apps) stay as-is? Or will all the frozen stuff revert back to stock versions?
I did the root method on 2.3.4 that doesn't affect the counter or give any visual notifications, and I understand that rooting in 2.3.6 isn't as easy to do, so I'd rather stick with what I have no rather than go through the upgrade process. But the nag-screen keeps bugging me all day long!
Any info appreciated.
Thx.
I'm in a similar situation - I actually DID the 2.3.6 update, had terrible battery life, spoke to a CSR who said that rooting (in order to flash the previous 2.3.4 official firmware) would NOT void the warranty of my phone (i777). I followed the guide in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18576627#post18576627
Perfection -got my phone back to reasonable battery life, etc. etc. Here's the snag: went into a Barnes and Noble today where my phone automatically connected to the AT&T wifi hotspot and now my phone wants to force me into this update again! Blast it all!
To address your concern about going forward with the update - I would highly recommend not doing so. My battery life dropped like a stone on the update - I'm not talking about a slightly perceived decrease, I'm talking about 2.5 hours dropping me 40%.
To remove the update request, delete or freeze device manager. Do this if you wish to remain on UCKH7.
If you accept the OTA update to UCKK6 while rooted you will retain root.
Right or wrong, I froze Device Management through TiBu.
Edit: Not fast enough!

It's the 2.3.6 update that has been talked about here for a while now. Don't update it.
I have also seen the new prompt today. This is actually different from the first one that I was seeing about 3 weeks ago that said there was a new update and the only button was 'OK', this new one has a OK or Postpone. I selected Postpone and then was asked for how long 1,2,4,8 hours.
I have done the same as others and frozen Device Manager, however I am wondering what else this feature does. I would like to know if this will effect any other parts of my phone or just stop the OTA updates.
I had done the stock root a few weeks ago and had never seen anything about updates. Then I was reading about modems and thought I'd give the UCKH7 because I might have better call quality over the UCKH6.
Two days later, I'm at work and notice that my phone is getting warm in my pocket. I took it out only to find it was downloading something... after a little investigating I figured out it was an update and later was given the option to postpone. Knowing I better check it out on XDA before doing anything I postponed and then ended up freezing it with TiBu.
I guess this is an update specific to the UCKH7 modem.....
No, not just modem update. It's the whole update called UCKK6. Do a search and there are multiple problems with this new ROM.
DON'T do it unless you LIKE worse battery life, non-working BT HID devices and other quirks (some ppl have problem with phone calls using the new modem).
AT&T is obviously push the update to everyone now instead of the batch updates.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> [All Tab] -> Device management -> Clear Data
That'll make it stop nagging you about the update until it goes out and checks again.
I have a rooted S2, and I 'checked for updates'
It said I can update my phone and the phone downloaded about 20 MB file by itself and asked for a restart to update the phone. I said yes, restarted the phone, but for some reason, it says, Update Failed.
You guys know the reason behind it?
Thank you
If you rooted and removed some bloatware, your update will likely fail. Why do you want to updat anyway after all the warnings?
You should have known that the minute you rooted your phone, you kiss good bye to official OTA updates. Sometime, it may work but most times it won't work.
My update failed? Where can I delete the file?

You must be rooted.
The easiest way is to use Titanium Backup. If you don't have it, there is a free version as well as paid one. With the free version you can only delete, but with the paid version you can either delete or freeze any application. Install TiBu and then find device manager in the list.
If you want to do it manually, the file can be found in the system folder I believe. I don't remember exactly what it is called, however, and I don't have it on my phone to check.

No need to know the filename of the downloaded update. Simply clear the data on 'Device management' app will do.

Thank you. I've been looking for a way to stop the forced update reminders for a while.
It's insane that you can't stop this reminders easily and they are 'forcing' you to upgrade, specially when 2.3.6 seems to have so many issues as reported here and other forums.
Does anyone know how I can disable the system update notifications? I recently received the notification for the latest update, but don't want to lose root. My tablet has a checkbox and I just uncheck, but can't seem to find one on the S3.
Bumping this in hopes that someone figured it out.
What network for clarification?

Sprint. There doesn't seem to be a setting to disable the system updates like there was on my old Evo.
I'd like to know too.
Which app controls the update notification, so I can freeze it?
Or can one modify build.prop and change the room build version to stop getting system update notification?
I've been able to "resolve" the notification issue by flashing the latest update of the rom you're using, but I really don't like having to do it so often just to avoid the update notification. It would be nice to get it turned off somehow--bump.
Assuming you're rooted, go into TiBu and filter for AT&T Software update (or insert the carrier you're on), then click the filter funnel.
The app to freeze will be right there for you to see, and....well, freeze.
I'm on AT&T so in my case the app is called: "AT&T Software update V3_1205_2_2"

I used Titanium Backup (TB) for this. Basically you are gonna wanna freeze the update app using TB. It is called "Software update v3_1205_1_3"
Or at least that is what they are called on my phone and ROM. They might have slightly different name on your device depending on the carrier, device variant, and ROM.
Hope this helps!
Great! Thanks for the suggestion.. Sprint's seems to be just "update", I've freezes it so hopefully that worked.
As I said I don't get Update notifications. Such as WALKMAN, sketch, album updates. Notification option is checked in Update center-settings.
But when I open Update Center then notification comes out. So what is the problem?

Same problem here.
I always have to open update center and refresh manually.
Sony said somewhere they have some problems with update center (can't remember where did I read that).
Actually, that's not Sony problem but carriers. (again, their words)
Carriers did some changes in some countries and that broke update center - apparently something on lte support and baseband files.
I'm not buying that, I can't accept that as a reason because I'm having same problem on every firmware I tried (4.4.2)
But, when I think more about that....
I'm using DE or Global firmware but with my carrier ETC folder and files because I can't have lte without those changes...

I'd had updates before I got an update. Framework number of that update was 314(I had been already using that version)and it was only 3mb. I had opened a thread about it 2-3 days ago and I think you had responded it. After I installed this Update I couldn't get notifications.
By the way Yesterday album Update released and I updated, but notification didn't come.
Any solutions?
EMUI updater keeps popping up randomly requesting to update (usually once in morning and once at night) even though I've turned off :
All permissions
All notifications
All data usage access
Advanced write system settings
I've done this for the following:
Software Updater
Phone Manager
Even though I force stop Software Updater, it starts up again after some time (and does the popup)
Have I missed anything?

Every time they roll out a new update I have to cancel update prompt and force stop the the app every time I plug in my USB to charge.
Eventually the prompt will stop coming after like a month of rejecting it - until a new update is released...

If it downloads the update clearing the system cache should purge I've been told but not tested it!
More than one way to skin a kat.
If you're rooted use one of the rooted apk blockers; I have very little knowledge in that area.
You can block the update app with ADB if you want.
Karma Firewall can be use to block the app itself from internet access, Karma uses almost no battery, freeware, an excellent apk. Can be set to run at bootKate.
Your carrier can also disable them on their end if it's a carrier phone.
I use Package Disabler on my 10+ to block the garbage. Use the none Samsung phone version.

Updates break phones.
Rule #1 if your device is running fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!
I'm still running on Pie. My current OS load is over a year old, still fast and stable in spite of heavy usage. Very low maintenance.
Security is generally just not an issue unless you do something stupid with Pie and above.
As course there is no saving dumb bunnies... even with the latest updates

I don't use it. There are tutorials here though.
There are a bunch of system managers for rooted phones that should lock it down.
This one does I think:

In developer options is a toggle for automatic updates. Turn it off.
With that deactivated, it'll give you a notification prompt about new updates, but won't force the update like it usually does when you reboot your phone.

Yeah if you can flip it off in Developer options that is sweet.
Google Services also pushes updates, and last night it managed to get through - usually it whines there is an update, and even if I let it, it crashes... figured no worries then. Well... it (or something, every other OTA service and option is off that I found) made it through and unrooted me last night.
