Hello
Firstly i want to wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!
Then, the issue for which i need the help/advice of a specialist in android field:
Recently i bought a huawei P30 lite and from time to time i receive the EMUI update notification.
Well, to get rid of that i tried:
-to go to settings in the emui updater and disable the auto download over wifi option, disabling its permission to use phone and force stop it
-not to connect to WIFI and just use the mobile data (because i have a unlimited data traffic over 4G/LTE network)
-to use the network access option under data usage tab in wireless&networks to completely shut off the access to internet for software update as well as android os and some other associated apps
All of my attempts failed, still, from time to time the update popup is still showing on my screen.
My phone is bought new from a local computer&accessories store, so it doesn't "belong" to any carrier, my carrier is RDS&RCS S.A (and it does not have any "preferences" regarding phone software).
Why i don't want to update? Before i had a samsung galaxy J7 2017, initially it came with android 7.0 from factory, it worked perfectly until it received updates...android 8.1 then android 9.0, and despite regular maintenance it began to run slow and eating up battery faster than it did, while heating up sometimes without reason (sign of some memory&CPU intensive software after the update) same thing as i heard apple do to iphones and ipads to determine people to buy new devices every year. Also i'm not a smartphone enthusiast and i'm not interested in "exciting new features/exciting new look" updates can bring, i only use it as a phone and pocket PC.
How i can get rid of that without root?(my phone's in warranty and i don't want to void it)
Or at least can somebody explain me how the updater app access the internet with all the restrictions i've put in its way?(maybe there are associated processes i didn't blocked)
Thanks

Hi everyone - I actually don't know who else to ask but this issue has been driving me mental for the last couple of months. After days and nights of investigating and looking through various forums and articles, I think I can find (or try at least) the words to describe my problem more...technically))
So OK, first off the device is Huawei Ascend G510-0100 running KitKat under the Cyanogenmod platform but the issue was already present with the factory's 4.1 ROM. I thought rooting the phone, installing just brand-new everything and having a bloatware/clutter-free Android OS would rectify all the causes of this nightmare but no. I'm not the only one with this problem: Google-search the issue and you'll find numerous forum threads where users seek for a solution to this "software loophole" as well as one of my friends (Galaxy S2) and another one with the HTC One X+ so I rule out my phone's model, OS version or just my device being faulty from the list of potential causes.
So - every time I turn my WiFi off on purpose or when I go out of my house (where logically my phone looses home's wireless signal) - the location services and the app synchronization processes stumble, mess up, run into and furthermore cause internal system mess-ups from such "unexpected" losts of internet. After that I can't make a phone call, send SMS or run USSD codes (checking credit balance etc) but I can still receive calls and texts - basically I fail to reach my cellular services but the service can still reach me. Turning Airplane Mode on and then off or simply restarting the phone altogether temporary fixes the cellular problem until the next time the internet becomes unreachable to Play Services. I tried turning location and sync off, tried different location/sync options...I wish I could disable Play Services but then I wouldn't be able to use the Play Store - | tried messing around with probably every single option available and possible but the Play Services still failed me and.......I honestly don't know what am I missing and where to look next
Edit: (I never use the mobile data btw)
Any suggestions? Anybody? I'm hopeless at this point :crying:
Thank you all...

Anyone? Please...
First of all i want to clear up some things.
1. My phone is a A5 Smiley from Allview.
2. When i bought the phone i had Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
3. The company Allview that made the phone, now has a Updating software campaign for all there phones. All phones are updated to 4.4.2 KitKat
4. I updated my phone.
5. I got unlimited mobile internet , no problems regarding internet traffic data.
Here is the problem on 4.2.2 i never had these notification " Data service is blocked " (that is the data internet trough the sim card, i got unlimited GB of internet) Problem is that now on 4.4.2 Kitkat i get that notification and i can`t remove it. The only way i remove it is to tun ON Data connection from the control panel. but if i do that my phone has non stop internet witch eats up the battery. If i turn it off i get that notification.
Is there any way to remove that notification? NOTE: i can`t uncheck notifications, they don`t allow me to disable it.
Thanks waiting for a response.
I like my compact Z5 (international E5823) but the stock software is constantly updating, and updating the bloatware. The updates have slowly disabled all my apps. Plus it performs badly, I can rarely get cellular data now.
I am experienced with rooting Motorola and Nokia, but it’s so complicated with this phone. I rely on those DRM keys for the camera and fingerprint scanner.
I have Flashtool on my PC.
I would like to root it, maybe to run Adaway, but that is not mandatory. I mostly want the phone to perform well with cellular data and be able to control some other things like to eliminate the sound when I plug it in. Maybe I don’t need root.
What is the best way for me to gain control over the software to stop updates, block or eliminate bloatware, and be able to control sounds etc?
Go into the bloat, and turn off all the options regarding updates and notifications.
Use the System Tuner UI to get power notifications options and turn the notifications for the bloat.
Go into your data options, and turn off background data for the bloat.
Go into the software update and turn off the checking for updates, switch it to off, or manual.
You will not hear or see anything from your bloat again (whatsnew).
You will need to switch cellular providers if you want better 3g/4g data service.
No idea about sound when plugging it in. I have turned my phone to do not disturb mode, so it makes no sound.
Thanks for the tips. Switching off background data for each, I had not done yet.
I am wondering if I misdiagnosed the problems. 1) the phone uses the battery quickly, months ago it lasted 2 days, now barely 1 day; more than battery wear should be. 2) data signal is intermittent and rare now, months ago it got excellent cellular data, I had never even switched on wifi until recently.
Any advice to solve these 2 problems?
A while, back I tried to rebuff an update. Then the phone kept calling the home base trying to get that software update; interfering with my call signal and consuming the battery. Current problems seem similar to that but not as intense.
Also, as a silly question, I am a noob with obeying the rules and using stock android, is it normal to have your standard apps, like note taking or internet speed apps, just go obsolete when the os updates itself? Do I have to track down and update apps for each new os “security update”?
I just want to let you know that even if bloatware is removed, unless you resize the partition, the free space you gain is in the partition you don't have user access to.
also, unless you strip down most of the pre-installed apps, the most you really gain is about 500mb
you would have liked the guide I had on the sony forums for first boot out of box, it basically stepped you through the process to limit data and apps, and it gave about 2 1/2 days standby, no root required.
Hi folks,
I was travelling in Western China recently and on the way out both the police took and immigration officials took my Galaxy S5 (unrooted) and had their way with it.
What I know:
- the police connected my phone to a wifi network and used an app called "mobile hunter", which seemed to be taking all the files off the phone (the screen on the device the police had said "retrieving x of 9xxx files")
- the immigration officials took down my lockscreen password and took the phone out of my sight for about an hour
- when I got the phone back from police there were 5 notifications saying APKs had been installed
- when I got the phone back from immigration there was one notification saying an APK had been installed
- the Samsung Internet app had been opened by the Police, but there was no browsing history
- the police took down my IMEI and SIM details
- my phone was connected to WiFi networks both times when I got it back.
Basically, I'm wondering what steps I should take before feeling like I can use my phone (relatively) securely again. Changing all passwords and flashing a new Android ROM sound like sensible steps, but are there any others? Or am I worrying too much?
Thanks
A bit of background:
I've been trying to set up internet access at a small home out in the country with cell service being the only option. Being cheap, I decided to try going down the route of tethering an old phone (Pixel XL) to a router and getting data-only plan (2GB of high speed at T-mo for $10/mo). The idea was that this would be enough to support my ring security system, some blink cameras and occasional internet use.
The problem:
Initially everything seemed fine. I got an Asus AC1300 (RT-ACRH13) router with USB 3.0 port for tethering and set up the Pixel XL to tether to it. However, I soon discovered the USB tethering option would get disabled by the phone quite frequently. This was due to a number of reasons...power briefly going out (fixed this by adding a UPS); pixel getting an update pushed to it (also disabled); bad weather causing signal to drop (can't fix this one); there appear to be other reasons as well i've not yet identified;
Tried so far:
Installed tasker thinking I could set it up to periodically re-enable tethering. Discovered for that I needed root, so I rooted the pixel. Tasker still complained - got a response from them stating that as of Pie "unfortunately Google now protect this action under the MANAGE_USB permissions which only system apps can get". Tried the Secure Settings app/extension for tasker and that just fails when testing the action without any additional notes - no response from the developer on that.
So, any ideas on how to accomplish what I'm trying to do? All i'd like is for USB tethering to be automatically re-enabled every few minutes if it's off.

No personal experience with this but the scenario you are describing is a constant problem for people living in an RV (recreational vehicle). You may want to include RV product/solutions to see what they've come up with.
