Question How to disable Automatic system updates? - OnePlus Nord N20 5G

Does anyone know how to disable auto system updates? I turned off auto updates in developer options but my phone has previously installed security patches automatically anyways. I don't want to upgrade to Android 12 right now as I've heard OnePlus botched things, so I want to hold off and don't want it auto updating on me. I don't know why it doesn't respect the setting in developer options

Thank you for taking apple out to Pasteur.

No, I've owned Android for ten years and rooted/modded them all (except this one since TWRP isn't available yet). As I said in my OP I already turned automatic updates off in developer settings. OnePlus isn't respecting that, so I'm wondering if there's another way to stop it or if anyone else has had this issue.

I haven't heard of anyone experiencing the issue you are suffering from.
I personally like software and security updates. I never turn off auto update. The reason being stageFright exploit. It can ruin your life.

I despise auto updates. My phone forced the update to Android 12 on me last night despite me disabling auto updates and I have had several issues already, it's a perfect example of why auto updates are horrible. My RCS chat was not sending, my haptic feedback is now even worse than it was before on notifications (almost unnoticeable now), I had random notification sounds but no notifications come in, I had a message come in that I didn't get a push notification for until several hours after the timestamp, the launcher has issues where the only way to close it is to dismiss from the very top of the screen (I could swipe down from anywhere to close it before), I have a persistent VPN notification that the system refuses to let me dismiss. All of this in the first day since being forced to update. In addition this garbage material you has been shoved down my throat, my GApps now all have hideous colors based on my wallpaper and can't be made to look half decent, and my hidden apps (Which are hidden because I don't use them often, not for security) now require me to enter a code in my dialer instead of swiping right quickly in the launcher (making them a pain to access when I do want them). Who knows what other issues I'll run into. I had zero issues on Android 11 since I bought the phone and on the first day of being forced to update I ran into several bugs and just plain terrible UI/UX issues. This is exactly why I don't auto update.
I always read the changelog and if it's open source I look at the GitHub commits to see what changes were made before updating apps, and I back up my current version before updating. It's incredibly common for me to find changes that I don't like or some new bug that gets introduced. I have some apps I update frequently because their changelog brings actual good features and UI designs that are bug free, and some I almost never update because changes were made I don't want. If this is how OnePlus does business it will not only be my first phone from them, but my last. Even my Samsung (Which is known for being anti developer) Tablet respects my decision not to update. What software I run on MY device is my business, not some corporate busybody who thinks he knows better than me and probably has zero actual coding experience.
With respect to Security updates, there is absolutely no reason to include them with other system and UI updates. And even security updates shouldn't be force updated.
Sorry for the rant, I absolutely hate forced updates.

You pretty much disabled them by unlocking the bootloader. Sorry if no one else told you, psyckonaut talked about this week's ago

Bootloader unlock matched with magisk disabled it

Relock and do full stock reset to match your baseband

You'll be on a different schedule than those of us that bought it unlocked. Carrier phones can be slower to roll out updates than unlocked phones

Sorry to hear that. I had several bugs in A11 that were fixed by the update to A12 (camera app had crashed, a 3rd party app would sometimes freeze and restart).

Hopefully you don't experience any of the issues I did. I didn't have any issues on A11 with the camera app or any 3rd party apps, although I installed a GCam port shortly after I got the phone.

I have come to a theory. That a major ota update will be pushed out to the unlock variety of devices as test run and to irokn out the bugs and then the carriers will push out the update to its customers.
Click to expand...

There's probably some merit to that in general. Carriers probably want to let the manufacturers work out most of the bugs then they can push the update to their devices. I haven't had a carrier phone since before smartphones existed so I don't really know what their update schedule is like.

New Market 3.1.3 (3.1.5 is up now too)

Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.
EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.
EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5
If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.
---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------
You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)
http://www.multiupload.com/41FQ6PQ3MS
The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).
There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).
For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Installing Android Market APK
Could use a little help here. Put a new ROM on my wife's phone, but for some reason, it doesn't have the Market on it. Every time I download the APK for the Market though, it asks me if I want to assign an account to it, which I choose Yes, and then it closes. I'm going to keep working on it, but if anyone has any ideas, please help!

Can you upload it? I did not know there was an update. Curious if it fixes the account switching bug in .3.
EDIT: nevermind... it does not fix the bug.
thank you, this new is better ;D
2.xx is better. 3.xx is too slow and laggy
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.
Edit: Removed link due to suspicious nature of this "update". Search it out and install it on your own, but I've restored my nandroid backup and am done with it until more is known about it.

[simple]How to stop OTA's[tutorial]

Mine only says "Unavailable" because I skipped out of box experience and didnt register to test this. :| yours will still have your email and everything linked so dont worry!
Alright, I'm going to start off with saying that what this does is turn off FOTA for you by modifying data for devicemanager. How do you do it?
Well, let's begin.
12/22/11: New tweaks, FOTA checkin timer = 0 (no checks anymore), Build key difference, FOTA mode = disabled and a few other FOTA tweaks.
First: Download the files unzip them, and put all 3 into the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard (you need to download Titanium backup from market for this just FYI).
Then start titanium backup, grant root if you havent already and restore "DeviceManagerService 2.3.4" and then poof! You have now blocked OTA's. I'll actually try and make this happen in my script so new people can do it but you can tell if it worked by going into settings>about my nook>Version Number:9.9.9

FAQ
Will this stop me from buying anything from B&N?
NO! You will keep everything and the ability to buy. This does nothing to the services aside from makes a few minor SQL tweaks that affect the devices ability to OTA.
Can this break my device?
No! This process actually holds no risk. It should always work no matter what and since we caught it early on, we can prevent further updates that can fix this.
Are you awesome Indirect?
Yes, yes I am. Now enjoy all the crap I released for you guys

Thank you for your work Now, does this block any and all interaction with B&N servers (in case I(or anyone else) want to actually purchase a book or app from B&N) or just prevents receiving/installing the update? Also, will it prevent future updates or is it just coded for 1.4.1?
Completed. Thank you again . My best friend is a Nook "lead" at B&N and she is getting a kick out of our shenanigans. She actually gave it to me as an X-mas present. So thank you again for your work on the Tablet. I (we) look forward to more of your adventures in Nookdom. hehehe

So does the sqllite method not work? I used that method 2 days ago, and so far haven't received an update (knock on wood).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946969
This is the sqlite method just provides you with files to download and install...this really isn't that complicated. -.- versus having to actually modify the SQL on the device, its already done for you. Just trust it works, install, and ignore everyone *****ing about updates. Now I'm going back to bed before someone crosses me by asking a stupid question.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate this. My girlfriend is getting a NT for Christmas and I want her to handle the tinkering and guides like these will be of great help to her.
Just a couple questions. Does this work because the OTA updates check to see if you are on a lower version than what is put out (thus the 9.9.9)?
Also, just to clarify, when you said you want to put this into your script, you mean the rooting method you have posted?
Thanks again for all your work. I know B&N hasn't made this stuff easy but I personally think part of the fun is having to outsmart them

1) As I havent received notification of update yet, I don't know if they check version but it should if their recovery isnt crap however this has the FOTA check disabled so it should not even attempt to update it.
2)I meant my rooting script, yes.
Two thumbs up!!
Thanks for the hack. Once my NT was rooted, I put it to work. Now it is an excellent tool to use at work and the larger display makes life easier.
I just wanna clarify here: if we've already used the SQLite method and changed the fota value from auto to manual, there's no reason for us to use this new method, right? This is just an easier version of manually editing the file?
If so and if this actually works, isn't this confirmation that changing the fota value from auto to manual actually works? So far everyone's just keeping their fingers crossed, but if indirect is saying that that method actually does the trick- I'm inclined to believe it.
Indirect,
Although multiple people have already said it, thanks for all your work on the Nook! I now no longer have to worry about leaving WiFi on and having all of the work I've done since I got this thing undone!
Of course, B&N will come up with a way around this for their next update, but at least we're safe for now.

It's not just the FOTA edit, it changes a few things that OTA's typically check before no matter what. I just suggest you do this incase.
Okay in that case, glad I asked. I won't be able to try this for a few days but believe me the second I'm able- I will be doing this (and keeping my fingers crossed). Thanks again indirect and everyone else who's contributed info on this subject.

So, the FOTAkill.apk alone is not enough, or you want to be doubly sure by tweaking DeviceManagerService as well?

There was incidence of a person doing only the FOTAkill.apk yesterday that ended up receiving the update and lost root. He went through a long process of hard factory reset, rerooting, etc.
Not sure what happend. Titanium backup says devicemanagerservice 2.3.4 has been updated, a bunch of aps in the restore section of titanium backup have 2.3.4 next to them, but my software version still says 1.4.0?

Smart IR Remote for S4 taken down, want a refund? (AGAIN)

UPDATE Aug 13: The app has been removed from the playstore AGAIN
UPDATE JULY 31st: The app has been restore in the playstore, it seems as if the dev was not lying and has kept its promise
Well, the app has been taken down. I contacted the gev through email, facebook and G+ and he never answered. Samething happened to a few members so i have taken my issue with the boss (Google) and they were extremely fast to refund me. Literally 10 seconds after I clicked submit issue, they sent an email confirming me my complaint was accepted and the refund has been made. GREAT!!!
I would not request a refund for an app taken down unless i had issue with it, which i did, so because the dev never answered, here is how to do it for yourself if you feel you've been abandoned.
Log into your google account https://play.google.com/store/account and go to "My Orders and Settings"
Look for SmartRemote and hit "Report a problem", then select "I'd like to request a refund" and give them a brief explenation. Also, if the app serves you, please don't do this, do this only if you're having issues that the dev obviously wont repair because he has, as far as i know, abandonned us.

i'm not sure why, it's really hard to know when the devs cut all communication and doesn't tell anything to anyone. In any case, the apps works fine, just struggles with my specific devices and the dev promised it would be updated to work for my TV and AV but they never did and they stopped emails about 2 weeks ago. So got this refunded and bought TouchSquid which so far works just like i want it too, also it's much more sophisticated and for a limited time it's 12$
What a letdown. It was such a great app!

i had issues with this app on my s4. after selecting an action, lets say the volume up button, the app would continually trigger the IR, even if i wasnt pressing the volume up button anymore. this was obviously very annoying and required a phone reboot to clear everything up. this happened every time i used the app. the IR would continue flashing after the first button tap.
i've been using samsungs watchON. it took 15 seconds to set up my tv and uverse box and the remote works flawlessly. also, its free. much better remote functionality and layout.
This app pretty much sucks on my S4. A lot of the buttons are useless and when I try to use the center button that is usually associated for "enter" or "ok", it never works ever.
Requested a refund but it said they were unable to give me a refund. Another let down. Bah!

Really I think it might be because it's stupid powerful. I can walk into any store control/cable TV's walk into a bar etc just total havoc. And it don't just work on TVs. Also those that have issues with it still issuing IR commands when it's not on. Disable. Air gestures and the Dynamic Option it will not do that anymore. :good:

Doesnt make sense really as touchsquid allows all the same functions. I mean the watchon app bare minimum allows you to mess with just about most tv's in bars and stores.

Face Unlock
The face unlock is easy to use and surprisingly fast. The phone will detect when it has been picked up, see your face and unlock your phone in about one second. It works at difficult angles and distances as well.

​Smart Rotate
Smart rotate is a feature we have seen on many other phones, so there isn’t too much to go into detail on here. When activated, your phone will hold its orientation to be consistent with your face.
Intelligent Screen On
The new intelligent screen on feature will now be able to detect when your eyes are looking at your screen and suspend the screen timeout or dim triggers.

No issues with Amazon.. Used it many many times.. Downloaded merriam Webster to try, and no issues as well. I don't use the others that you mentioned..

Hey.. Had a similar problem with Amazon... For me chrome was the cause of the problem.. I disabled the allow apps to launch and background running.. So enabling them resolved the issue for me..

That'd make sense.. Amazon and other apps use webview so chrome (chrome is the webview default now) not launching in bg means it won't start...

ya i disabled background running of chrome that was causing problem now everything is working fine .Thanks
I have rooted my Honor View 10. Can anyone tell how i can manually install this update?? I am unable to install it via OTA. The installation always fails at some point.
I didn't get the update yet.... Any workarounds to get it?
Check whether Chrome is allowed to run in the background. If not, allow and then check,
please

What did you change to/from?
I can get it to the point where it starts to select voice match by switching to another version of English (US rather than UK), but it then fails and greys out the option again. No sign of an update for us C782 users either - not even a firmware listed in the pipeline on Firmware Finder....

Same happend to me. Once you change the language you need to go to settings --> appl --> google and delete the cache and memory. Return to google now and start over. Using English (US) it is working for me.

That seems to have worked finally for me - so the firmware for UK only phones requires English US language and I have to listen to my phone talk to me in an American accent - hurrah!
Maybe Huawei will get round to fixing it in their next update in about October

In fact, I think it is a google problem. I have already reported it.
And in my case, I am from Argentina, I live in Colombia and my phone speaks spanish (spain) so...
Anyone else still having this issue? On my Mate 10 Pro, I switched from English (Australia) to US, cleared catch and tried enabling Voice Match again. It got to the screen where it said You are already setup for voice match. When I click Continue, I get a blank screen and get redirected to the first page of voice match setup. By then, the option for Voice Match is again disabled.

man ... from my experience, the fix is random! sometimes i do things that worked and sometimes the same thing dont work anymore... im pretty stable since my last problem! but did you try go in and out of beta program?
Google broke with 131 update for me tried everything but nothing worked.
I got the 132 update through firmware finder last night and it fixed ok Google from any screen and it also unlocks my phone. Language is set to English uk

I suspect the 139 update did that for me. Fairly certain that atleast with screen on Ok Google worked before. I have only had the phone a few days.

I am in the beta program but no luck. I managed to turn voice match on once after a combination of steps but it switched itself off again.
U should be in and out, this way u have to install the app again
Ok Google issue seems finally solved
I have the Asia Version of Mate 10 Pro dual sim (C636), finally after installing the latest OTA update yesterday (8.0.0.141), vocal command of Google assistant came back to normal after 3 months black out. Finally can be vocally activated from home screen without tapping the command; only the first time need to be activated manually to set up the voice command.

it also works for the non-Pro, the phone responds but if you have the security features enabled, it'll still require you to unlock the phone.
