I have a Galaxy J7 running 5.1.1. I like to manage my app and system updates so went into Playstore and turned off automatic updates and thought that would be it. But my phone is constantly reminding me I have pending updates, which I ignore. This is fine until a system update that I want comes along. Then when I say install, all the pending app updates also automatically install. How can I stop this? I am now going through all my apps individually to turn off notifications in the hope this will stop this situation from arising in the future. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

One thing I noticed with the market is it seems to periodically check for updates, but it doesn't seem to check that often. It seems like the Market application waits for a group of apps to get updated at once before it notifies you, or it seems to only check for updates on a certain day where app updates are rolled out onto the Android market (similar to PSN/XBL updates)
Does anyone know how to force the Market application to check for updates to my apps? I was thinking maybe going to the Market app in the system settings and clearing cache/data, but I was wondering if there's some other way to do it.
No settings or tweak I know of to make the Market check at specific intervals, I seem to get updates atleast a few times a week, never really had an issue with it.

I tried to Google this but just kept getting results about what phones have what Rom updates and how to update apps.
The recent updates to the Trillian app are pretty terrible, I and many others are choosing to stick with the older version. Problem is I have many apps installed on this phone. Thanks to that update I am no longer able to hit "UpdatecAll" as I do not want the Trillian app to update, so I am forced to manually open the page for each app that has an update and update them one-by-one. A very annoying and tedious processes, especially since if I wait so much as a week there can be up to 20 updates to install.
Is there any way I can somehow block this one app from being updated or put it on a no update lust or something?
I don't like to have my apps auto-update.
Is there really no way to do this?
I would really like to know this too...
Hey friends. My wife has the Verizon Samsung galaxy s9+ (G965U).
She is becoming very frustrated because in the past on her note 8, when the OTA update nag appeared, it would at least give the option to delay it by 24 hours but on the s9+ she said she receives no notification. Twice she has caught it updating without her knowledge or permission.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Just go to settings > software update and turn off auto download over wi-fi.

Ok thank you. I was successful in disabling software updates. My only question is, doesn't that only disable apps from updating? There's probably no way to stop system updates, or am I wrong?

Turning off this setting will prevent software updates from downloading until you check for updates manually.
Apps updates settings are found in galaxy apps's settings and google play store's settings.
Ok thank you. Your advice is much appreciated. Problem solved
Anyone facing this issue? I've set play store to never auto update etc but every once in awhile over the last few weeks I see several updates are pending then the next day they've auto updated. This is extremely frustrating especially with some apps like youtube vanced which I definitely do not want updated. I can't seem to find out where this is occuring at all.

Yes, me also. I rolled back a Gmail update and was very annoyed to find it auto updated itself after a week or so of me ignoring it.
yup, I have this problem too on xiaomi eu rom
I think I've figured a solution - so for whatever reason my playstore periodically overrides and resets my update settings to auto update and over data and wifi. This is unacceptable as I definitely wouldn't want to incur data charges for updates or have updates forced on me but is what it is --- what has been working so far is leaving the settings at auto update (wifi only) BUT going to the individual app I do not want installed and specifically unchecking autoupdate on that app. The hamburger/3 dots option top right in playstore for the individual application's home screen.
The Nord N100 was found to have a history with the T-Mobile and Metro versions of software to force updates even if "Automatic system updates" is togged off in Developer Options.
Does the XT2093 ever do that? Anyone ever heard of it doing that?
I haven't had any problems with forced system updates per se. While devops option to disable automatic updates COUPLED with the moto system update app set to disallow automatic installation, I find when there is an update it tells me so and I can then perform a manual download and installation. So it works.
Thank you very much for this tip. I need to go in and find that moto system update app and disallow it.
I am having a hard time finding this moto system update app. I see the "Moto" app on my phone but don't see anything in there about system update.
I think I figured it out. You mean this screen, right?

Yep that's the screen. I should had mentioned it's a menu option within the Android Settings menu screen and not a launchable app.
Keep in mind as is noted as a footnote in the Smart Update screen, security updates will download and install automatically even if the option is turned off. You might end up seeing a notification saying there's an update ready to be installed and suggesting you reboot the device. Outside of disabling the moto software update app altogether I've found no explicit method of blocking these security updates from auto installing.
