How to disable OTA notifications? - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me how I can disable OTA notifications? Also, how to delete the already downloaded update and prevent it from being downloaded again. The notification is pretty agressive, it always jumps to the update app at least twice a day.

First, why don't you want to update?
Second, to disable notifications from update, go to settings, apps, updater, notifications and turn all off. Try to delete the app's data also.

First, I spent two months to find out how to go back from Android 6 to 5, and I'm happy I could.
Second, the notifications are turned off,but it always jumps to the update page and wants me to press the update button. Turning off notifications doesn't help. Deleting app's data did not delete the update package.

Freeze the update app using titanium backup. I do this to stop the pop up and can be easily reverted if I want to update

Figure out which apps have updated?

I get notifications that there are updates for some of my apps. When I go to look I don't see anything that says which apps they are. I've disabled Automatic Updates for everything that will let me so I can decide if I want to update, so maybe these notifications are for the ones still left on AU.
But even then, how can I tell which apps received updates? The dates never seem to correspond to the notification date.
BTW...not rooted.

Any apps whether you manually updated or downladed them or
if the auto update updated them would show up on your pull down
notification screen.................
When the notification comes in, I pull down the screen and it will say something like 2 apps updated. If I tap the notification, it takes me directly to my apps but nothing in there indicates which 2 were updated.

I don't know which custom rom you are using but when I manually do
any updates or if google auto updates any apps it shows the application
names and tells me if the update was successfully installed.
The only time the notification does not tell me app names is when
it only notifies me that there are updates to be downloaded.
If the applications have already updated it won't show you because the are already up to date. It only shows you if the application needs to be updated.
Like he said though, if it already updated, then it should show you what was updated.
I also have automatic updates turned off and when I see a notification that any updates are available, I simply go into the Market, click Menu and select 'My Apps' and will see what updates are available at the top of the list.
You should see this as well if updates are indeed set to be manually installed.
I'm experiencing the same behavior. Says updates are available. Go to my apps in the Market... no updates available. I'm pretty sure this is a bug. Not to worried about it though.

Try this,
Go to settings>applications>manage applications then click
the "ALL" tab and click on "market" and click on "Clear Data".
Then reboot the phone and see if the issue is gone.
To answer your earlier question, I'm not rooted.
But your clear data/reboot suggestion worked perfectly! There are 5 apps waiting for updates to be applied.
Thanks!

Kill the Verizon Bloatware

Is their way to kill the stupid Verizon bloatware off of the Rezound. I just got the new I.C.S. O.T.A.. Every time Itry to delete all of the stock apps Verizon puts on the phone it will only allow me to uninstall the updates. then a few hours later the phone updates them again.
How do i get rid of them??????
You can only disable them unless you are rooted. This will remove them from the app drawer, and at the bottom of the app list in settings. Out of sight, out of mind.
Root and delete the APK.
disable them suing settings -> application. and turn off option in play store to automatically update apps.

And also prevents them from running in the background and being used at all. It's just like freezing them with Titanium Backup; the .apk is there, but its as good as gone.
you can disable them by not updating the app and just diable it in the app management

If they are updated you have to uninstall the update first then disable them. The only Verizon bloatware app that I found can't be disabled this way is visual voice mail.

MM download notification

I have a notification to download and install the update. How do I permanently get rid of the notification? I have titatium backup..is there something I should freeze?

If you long press on the notification, you will see a little "info" icon. Click that and "show no notification from this app"
Also as a backup, every time I see a notification, the first thing I do is make a nandroid backup. One time I let my sister use my phone to make a call and she accidentally clicked install and bricked it... If you make an immediate nandroid backup, you'll have a "checkpoint" to restore to in case you do install by accident.
When I long press it it shows "Google Play Services" as being the owner of the notification. I went ahead and disabled notifications anyway.
Also, I'm trying to figure out what is downloading the OTA on my phone. I did a search, including system apps, in titanium backup for OTA and found nothing. I did a google search and some said to disable LGFOTA.apk and other apks but I couldn't find any of them on my phone.
I am on stock rooted and depend on root daily with the apps I use so I hope it doesn't force me to update. I've heard of that happening on other phones. My most recent notification wouldn't let me press "Later" anymore and was now a persistent notification.
So, will I not be able to root, if I update to the official 6.0?

I think you **may** have to freeze the update center. I searched for "update" in my equivalent of TB ( I'm too poor to be able to afford TB pro after paying for the phone lol) & it showed the update center, which I went ahead & froze. That seemed to make my notification disappear. Hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:

EMUI 9.1 update - all notifications late or not appearing

I know this is a topic existing over internet, I've googled it extensively, but up to now I haven't found a solution.
I've got a non-pro Mate 10, the Chinese version AL-00, rebranded to International/Global ALP L-29.
Approximately two to three weeks ago I got an update from 9 to EMUI 9.1, and maybe a week later, another update as a security patch. The current version of the software is 9.1.0301 (C636E2R1P12).
After the system update, I normally updated all the apps that needed updating and cleaned the phone's cache from bootloader. And although now I once again receive notifications from Google play when an app needs updating (I stopped receiving those a while back for an unknown reason), I stopped receiving notifications for virtually any messaging service or social network, including Gmail app.
To be more specific, when using Gmail, Facebook Messenger, Viber, Whatsapp LinkedIn or some other, I do not get notified of new messages/posts/emails whatever, UNLESS I am using the phone at that particular moment, or unless I am using that specific app at that moment. That also applies for my bank's custom app which should normally notify me instantly as soon as some expense occurs on my card. A few times it even happened that I would receive and reply to a FB message, close the app and like an hour later would receive a notification that that specific person messaged me.
This only started happening after that last update.
I tried turning off battery optimization for each and every single of those apps, I tried switching App launch to manual. It literally makes no difference. Force stopping and cleaning the cache of the apps doesn't help as well.
While I could live with it when it comes to FB or LinkedIn, I cant have Gmail or FB Messenger holding my messages for so long without notifying me. I need them for my work and sometimes time is of the utmost essence.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
EDIT: I just noticed that I'm having same problems with Google Keep app when using reminders
Please, guys, help!

Did you make a full system reset afterwards?

Do you have root? Try freezing powergenie app, it should allow the notifications to come on time. The only issue is there might be a "slight" battery drain from more apps allowed to run in background. That was a dirty fix that worked even in emui 8/9 and peps seemed to have no issues even after the mod.
Since emui 9.1 introduces erofs file system, you'll have to either freeze the app in question everytime you reboot or create magisk module that during boot replaces contents of /system/app/HwPowerGenieEngine3 with empy folder - I'm not sure how removing odex files affects the thermals so I suggest just removing apk file and keeping everything else from the original directory intact if the temps and phone performance behave odly after doing this.
Feel free to give it a try, but I don't think it's actually worth doing it. The old forum post suggesting this mod actually overlooked the importance of power genie when it comes to temps + performance regulations across the board. Without it the temps will rise, phone won't supercharge and the performance will dip.
I'm actually playing around with this rn, trying to remove thermal limits on per app basis, if I come across anything I'll let ya know. Good luck
Have you made test on both mobile network and on WLAN? And what provider do you use with this phone? I see OP1 and VIP in your profile, probably outdated.

Yeah, thanks, and I can see that you really wanted to help but no, I never rooted this phone, so I guess that all the tips you have for me are, unfortunately, in vain
Thanks though, for trying to help!

Yep I did, sometimes switching between WiFi and mobile network does activate the apps to check for new messages/mail, and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't noticed any clear pattern.
And it must be difference between XDA forums and the app. I swear I switched it when I bought the Mate. But I'm still on VIP/A1
@neverone, go to Settings > Battery > More battery settings and switch on the option Stay connected when device sleeps. I didn't see you mention this somewhere, I switch this on after every factory reset.

No I haven't, but now that I checked, it was turned on all the time. However, knowing that sometimes this actually works, I toggled it off and back on several times and restarted the phone. I'll pay closer attention during the day to see if that helped and report back here. Thanks for the suggestion.
I too have this issue in my M10Pro specially in messenger. sometimes the chat icon doesn't appear even if i have an unread message.

Here's an update: Turning off and on the "Stay connected" option did not help at all, the real proof is that i received an email notification of cheeze.keyk replying to this thread, and I only saw it when I logged in on my PC. The phone did not notify me at all.
So the problem still persists, unfortunately. I am really hoping that I won't have to make a factory reset, although it is also uncertain if that would help at all.
totally bummed. my Mate 10 Pro screen just went crazy. It now has a bright green line all across the very bottom of the screen. And the whole screen now has a faint "screen door" effect going on. just enough to be irritating. I doubt I can live with it, but I loved this phone.

@neverone, another idea. Have you frozen some system apps, especially Google Play Services? Or maybe disabled in battery app launch or turned on battery optimization for Google Play Services and Google Services Framework?

These two screenshots show show which apps I have frozen/disabled and which of the Google based apps have and don't have battery optimisation activated.
This essentially hasn't changed since I bought the phone over a year ago. Do you think I should do something with these apps or change some of their settings?
Send also the complete screenshot of Settings > Battery > App launch > Three dots > Manage manually.
Did you restrict background data maybe? Settings > Wireless & networks > Data usage > Network access > in upper drop down menu switch to Advanced network settings > Tick all apps on both installed and system apps list.
And the last question, do you use Smart Data Saver? Settings > Wireless & networks > Data usage > Smart Data Saver

Nope, data saver has been turned off and moreover, most of the apps seem to be ticked as an exception if it ever gets turned on
Hope that you put all checkmarks on Google Play Services and all other apps you have notifications problem.
Well as you can see, considering Google's apps, all is good.
I mean this one in Settings > Battery > App launch > Three dots > Manage manually, have a look on attachment.
So, my Email client, Google Play services, Moj Telekom, Viber and WhatsApp have set all three options: auto-launch, secondary launch and run in background. With this setup, I have no problems at all.

notification issues.

For anyone experiencing notification issues.
I was. None were coming through when they were sent. I changed push notification delay. I tried near everything
(Not coming through you have turned on notifications turn off power saving etc for the app)
If you have root and are able to freeze applications ( I have used titanium backup) to freeze the security app. All my notifications are coming though properly now.
I saw on a website someone that changed the security app so I thought why not freeze it. It works .
Still have access to permissions etc.
The only thing to remember is to keep them in memory. If you close the app you will have to reopen it manually.
I'm on ZUI 11
Not root case
If you don't have root, you can turn off battery optimization in settings for the apps you want, them put them on "autostart" in the security app and just minimize the apps
It's not a good solution, since you can't close fully the apps, but at least you will have notifications

Yes, it's not good, that's why I'm trying a custom rom now
But for those who are afraid to root/install a custom, it's what they have (notificon also helps, but have to pass through the same steps)

Just bought lenovo z5 pro 64gb. I have same problem with whatsapp and other user app notifications. Im on ZUI 11. 1.093 ST.
Im finally found a way to make whatsapp and other user app to make a sound when message coming.
Just install Missed Notifications Reminder from play store. After installation complete, just give permission access for this app to run. Next, you can set reminder for as low as 0.1 minutes ( fastest option and its fast enough ) and set reminder repetitions, i set for 2x repetition. Then finally you can select what application do you want to be reminded (any app on your phone).
Now, when new notification come, my phone will make sound :laugh:
For those who still use the stock china zui, the notification bug still occurs?
yes i still have notification issues sometimes with whatsapp even though i went through all the settings in the security app and battery optimization.even installed missed notifications reminder which helped a little but not always.
im using the latest zui rom 11.5.247.things worked much better on 10.5
