I downgraded back to Kitkat, disabled "automatic updates" and haven't had a problem with it reinstalling Lollipop. My phone is perfect again.

How did you disable OS updates. Only one I see is @Play Store disable updates on apps installed

Setting>About device>Software updates and unchecked "auto update" but this option may not be available depending on your model/carrier.

How did you download Kit Kat? And from where?

I downloaded the KK firmware from sammobile.com and flashed it with Odin.

When "auto update" is disabled the phone should notify you only once that an update is available and will give you the option to install it now or later, I clicked on "later". Then it asked me when I wanted to be reminded again, I chose "never" and the notification disappeared for good.

That is carrier specific.

You don't get to do that in the US.

Yes, a carrier could. Not an option with AT&T.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I used 4G to do this because I thought wi-fi may automatically download the dreaded Lollipop but connected to it later on and didn't get any further update reminders or notifications.

Every US carrier will force it on you eventually, if you have their branded phone.

Don't know about other countries, etc.

so I disabled auto update but the notification is always there and it only stays install at the bottom there is no LATER

AT&T does not have that option, I downgraded to N910AUCU1ANIE and overnite while my phone wifi was turned off, it downloaded the C0C4, it can only be postponed three times and it will install it whether you like it or not.
