And if that turns out to blow up your phone bill, your problem. This is a simple ultimatum, made by the machine I’m supposed to own: Either you do the update yourself, or I do it anyhow. But then it escalated to “Install now to control when your device updates”: Which is a nuisance, and there’s always the risk of mistakenly tap “Install now”. Go to Settings > Notifications > App Notifications > Google Play Settings and turn off System Update (to silence the “System update paused” notification)Īnd after some time, the famous “Install update to keep device secure” popup appears.Under Developer Options (which are enabled for unlocking anyhow).Not that it helped much in my case, but here they are: That nagging popup windowĪfter rooting the phone, there are two immediate actions that are supposed to turn off automatic system updates.
