Hi All,
Quick question. I was wondering how to get the "official" OTA Android market update?
I ask because my Atrix automatically updated to the new market the other day. But since installing the OTA Gingerbread update, my phone is back with the old-style Market app.
I know I can just grab the APK from here, but was still wondering how non-tech savvy folk could get the update.
Thanks.
Just giving this a bump. I have to think one of you knows the answer.
New market has data connection issues when not on WiFi. If you really want it, there are a couple of threads with apk downloads.
I haven't seen an update pushed to my phone for it.

I keep getting the pop-up notification from Device Management about the update for my SGS2. Currently, I'm running stock with the launch version (I777UCKH7), rooted with my own tweaks. I'd rather not bother with an incremental update and just keep things the way they are for now (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) until ICS comes along...
Can I disable the check/notification? It's getting really annoying to have to hit it several times per day.
I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, and maybe someone knows how to do that exactly...
I would say go for the update... I don't believe anyone has had any problems with it. Me personally: I tried to update but it gave an error and wouldn't install, and now I don't get the notification anymore even though I didn't "really" update. My S2 is rooted with most junk removed via Titanium Backup, but stock rom and modem.
I totally forgot to come back with an update. I followed your advice and accepted the next time it asked if I wanted to update. It began, then said that I was already up to date. Hasn't bothered me again since then. Odd.
I know when the EvoLte first came out, it was having problems with assigning ringtones to specific contacts. Then HTC released the maintenance update 2.13.651.1 170RD, whiched fixed the issue. However, I recently performed a factory reset on my phone, and now I am no longer able to assign custom ringtones again.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or is there a fix. I cant find a copy of the update to try and re-install it.
BTW I am not rooted, running stock.
Thanks in advance.
Then to get it back one of two ways
Rooted and choose one of the roms(all have it fixed)
Update phone(if not already done)

My phone is updated, hence the software # I provided within my post. As for root, I've rooted every android phone I've had since the beginning of android. However, for some reason this phone has had more problems attributed to root then any phone I've had. Right now I am very happy with stock.

How's it going, everyone? I just want to apologize ahead of time if this is in the incorrect forum. There's so many to choose from and I didn't see one dedicated to this particular tablet.
I recently acquired a Verizon Ellipsis 8 and the first thing I wanted to do with the device was root it. After trying what must have been 10-15 different methods, I was finally successful at getting the device rooted using a (What I assume to be) Chinese root method called Kingroot. They had support for the tablet and actually got me root access, so I went with it. Shortly after, I installed all my necessary root apks and got the device working in what I would describe as acceptable order. I then began hunting for custom ROMS for the thing, but if there was one thing harder to find for this tablet than root access, it was a custom ROM.
Anyways, I've been living quite happily on rooted stock. I removed all the unnecessary bloatware from the device and everything has been going smoothly, until a few days ago. Verizon pushed out an OTA update and now I am receiving daily prompts from Verizon to update to the latest firmware. Now, this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to dealing with OTA updates, so I began digging around inside my system files to find the update.zip and disable it, as well as remove the different processes that would possibly be spamming this update notification. After several different files given the .bak extension and several different reboots, I felt comfortable that I had taken care of the issue. Hell, I even went so far as to take the same steps on my wife's tablet (She has the same one, rooted in the same fashion), and HER tablet has stopped sending her updates. HOWEVER, even though I have taken all the necessary steps, I still get the same prompt on my tablet at least once a day.
Now, I know for a fact the update files have been disabled, because last night I decided to test the update to see if it would actually go through, but it always results in the same error and the update doesn't apply. But no matter what, the prompt still shows up for me the next morning.
The prompt itself is quite annoying. It takes up the entirety of the screen, disables all other functionality of the tablet and doesn't let me choose other processes, and makes me select one of two options: Either I choose to apply the update, which immediately fails, or I can choose to delay the update to a different time during the day. If I could grab a screenshot, I'd show you guys what it looks like. But, I literally can't do anything on my tablet until after I make that selection, which immediately closes the process. That means I can't freeze the process using TitaniumBackup or something like that. I am helpless to suffer these update prompts every morning.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not ever going to actually run the update, but the reminder is just such an inconvenience. So, I thought I'd make a post and see if there's anything you guys can think of that might be able to help me find whatever is causing these prompts and get rid of it. I've disabled the update.zip, I've disabled notifications from the Google Play Services, and I've rid myself of all the unnecessary bloatware on my device. I left a few Verizon processes on the tablet that I wasn't 100% sure if they were safe to remove or not, and I've even installed the FOTAKill.apk to see if that would help. The update doesn't work, but the prompt still shows up every morning.
I'd be forever in your guys' debt if you could help me on this one. Thanks for the read, and thanks ahead of time for any help! =D

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You will need to modify your build.conf to prevent the update screen from prompting you.
Change the build number to something else....
/system/build.prop
Change the build to something like: ro.build.display.id=AKOT49HA
and do the same to the rest of them in the file.
Halp!
I'm losing my mind trying to figure out the issue here. SMS works fine. Hangouts will only notify of a newly received message if you open Hangouts and are on the conversations list screen (main screen). If you are in a conversation it won't even update of the newly received message until you back back to the main conversations list screen. Doesn't matter if it's on WiFi or mobile data. This is a brand new phone that I bought about a week ago and for the record I'm using the same phone I bought a month ago from the same seller on the same firmware. The only difference is that mine is rooted and I've frozen or uninstalled most all of the bloatware and VZW bullcrap. Otherwise they're identical and one has what seems like an app bug but the other one does not.
I've tried numerous things before posting here (to include lots of searches that only seem to turn up similar issues for those who updated to Lollipop) including uninstalling Hangouts updates as well as Google+ updates as per one thread I saw. Neither had any affect on the issue. I went into the user's Google account to see if any other devices were signed in currently and it doesn't appear to be the issue.
My next step is to root and see if freezing the same apps corrects but where it sits right now would make a warranty exchange through the seller a little bit easier I would imagine.
I'm not really sure what else to try short of accepting the OTA update (Lollipop) which will w/o a doubt introduce more problems than it fixes based on what I've read. Not only that but my LG G3 is functioning just fine on 4.4.2 so I see no reason why the same device shouldn't perform the same on the same firmware version. Makes no sense.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks!
