Force close the update centre apk, then uninstall it with titanium.
Or uninstall it and reboot the phone.

haha yea u right . good look...
I herd 2.3.4. u can run the playstation store

Any luck in freezing ( pro Tb, which i dont have) or stopping ( in the case of using the free TB app) the updates?....its getting annoying, but from what I've read here on the forums is that there are alot of issues ( like wifi and phone signal problems) with the update. I've made a voodoo backup of the root just incase the phone wantz to update while I sleep.
Also, If the update thing popped up would ot automatically download and install the update, or just download it?

yea people on the forums have said it messed up things on there device like the wifi and what not...... and beside that trying to find a way to root it .... maybe zergrush .......... oh yea the update pops up and downloads it in my case and keeps showing u this pop up with a 2-3 min count down ...... ... the fix i did was freeze "MobileCare" which is the app that Verizon uses to push out OTA Update Software. so I froze that and had no more pop ups

Android market update(3.1.3)

Few days back google gave a major update to android market with version 3.0.27.
Now they have again released a update with some minor modification.You can either wait to get auto update or just download the .apk from the link

Installed this and it runs fine. Not sure what the difference is.

I haven't got the update yet, but with the added security it may be the update that allows Vodafone users to pay for apps using their monthly bill instead of a credit/debit card or whatever

As I posted in another thread when new market came out few weeks ago I have to say it again:
This market sucks rly bad. It's ultra slow and laggy. Sliding lags, sometimes when u slide right or left the windows slides up and down.
When u press menu and press "my apps" it loads forever till all ur apps appear or it gets into "endless searching mode^^" and u have to restart market.
So nothing has changed since first update and many others have same problem.
Google should do their job and bring a market that is stable and fast as the current one before bringing such a crap.
To the design:
Some ppl like it some not. I am one of these who don't. It's not trendy, not stylish just confusing. In combination with the above bugs it's unusable for me.
my specs:
i9000 2.3.4 JVR with 1.5.0 [email protected],2ghz and lagfix enabled

Launch android market and leave it on homepage for 10min.If update will be available it will get pushed or u can go to setting>application>manage>all>market>uninstall update and then relaunch android market and leave it for 10min
NOTE:If fast data connection is available,update wont take more than 5min

The Market Enabler No longer works with these New Markets. Planning to stick with the old one.
Works like a charm on 2.3.4 (JVQ).
Had to use the '-r' switch with 'adb install' to install, otherwise I got a message that the app was already installed (even though the version numbers were different)

New 2.4 OTA vagueness

The new 2,4 update seems to be coming up. However I am not even able to see the update option in the status menu. Is this normal? I am running 2.3.3 build 4.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
As with all android updates, the phone company releases the update first to generic versions and to carriers to add their own software (bloatware crap) so each carrier takes their time to release it when/if they want. ie: in Mexico we haven't even gotten the xLoud update from 2.3.3 but plenty others did and now some even got the 2.3.4. It's a waiting game where we can't use the dpad
TL;DR You have to wait till your carrier releases the update for you whenever they want.

You probably deleted the update center from your phone. Mine is gone too but since I've an unlocked bootloader, I don't mind.

Software update from T-Mobile with custom rom??

Just keep getting a notification about a software update from T-Mobile is this safe to do when having a custom rom? The FreeGS3 R6
Is anyone having this notification as well??
Sent from iPhones worst enemy THE SGS3
Don't do it. Realistically, the dev should've disabled the room update feature if he used the TMo ROM for his base. You may want to pm him and let him know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium HD app
Its not gonna do anything. If you accept it'll download and attempt to install but will fail.
You can go into app management and disable the software update apps there.
FreeGS3 is a wip. Dev is also working on incorporating a software update for his rom, so it may have been left purposely. Either way, no harm has or will come beccause its there. Its already been covered many times in that roms thread as well as multiple others.

Use Titanium backup to force stop the updates from happening or uninstall them all together I did that and now the updates are gone.
Since the thread is covered and done. I'm curious as to the whole update search app not hurting anything. On the g2x WhitehawkX always removed the possibility for it cause it was !
1. Annoying
2. Something that was always checking and causing battery drainage. It this not true?

Do you mean the Software Update and FW Upgrade apps? On a custom rom I dont think itd matter either way. Most likely you wouldnt be able to use it since you are rooted, deodexed and prob on a custom recovery. Like what happened for many on FreeGS3. Able to download the update but installation failed. But we knew it was available.
I dont think it uses much in the way of resources. He could be right about battery though, and im sure he knows more thsn I do on that subject.
In short it doesnt hurt anything to be there, but if it cant be used, isnt it just wasted space?

We just don't get it. Old Xperia L could play it, but the S3 get's no love on the game for some reason,.
Its an issue with 4.3 on the S3 and I don't know why they haven't been able to fix it. I did get it to run a while back but had to install an older version that I knew worked because I used to run it
Yeah the older versions worked perfectly but the new one is not.

This new versions been out for a while. I dont think theyre doing a bug fix.
Ps: does anyone know how to disable the update notification in the old versions. i cant play with data/wifi on because it keep bugging me to update to the new version. it takes me to the market and as you know its "incompetible"
If enough people email the dev it might motivate them to fix it. Especially if everyone starts demanding refunds and leaving poor reviews. No guarantee of course, but its more guaranteed that nothing will happen if no one tries to make it happen!
In app manager most apps have a checkbox for display notifications. Maybe that'll help?

I have found a solution. I was browsing Samsung's galaxy app store and saw asphalt 8 being featured so I was like what the hay, so I installed it and it runs perfectly! Maybe they forgot to unblock the S3 from when it was having problems at Google play? Anyways give it a try!
