I got the system notification today, to update to kitkat. My heart stopped, as I had read App Ops wont be available in it which means I would be unable to set pesky permissions off such as the need for the flashlight application to read my contact list.
Apparently there is no way to get rid of the update notification until you root your phone, which I learnt today, means to sort of give yourself super admin priveliges. Anyway the point is, I personally can't be bothered to do all that technical stuff just to get rid of a simple pesky notification. It kept popping up and giving me only a choice of hours to delay it by, not even days, just hours.
Another reason why I don't want to update is because I believe 'if it aint broken, dont fix it'. The phone works well, does the job real good for me. I'm not a power user, I play real racing 3 once a day, check facebook, go on youtube, that's it.
Anyway THE SOLUTION I FOUND...was so simple. when you get the notification, click outside of it, dont click any buttons, just click outside the box and it never came again!
Well so far it hasnt, I havent restarted my phone.
I'll do it now...
restarting...
yep, it showed up again
However I did the same thing and it's been about 5 minutes now, it hasnt shown up.
I confirmed again went into settings ...about..system update...clicked install later..set it to remind in 2 minutes...clicked ok...then again into system update..this time i clicked outside the box...and it hasnt shown up. I've attached a pic to show what I mean by where to click.
