How do I disable the Verizon Lollipop ugrade prompt on Galaxy S5?
I upgraded to Lollipop and hated it with a passion, so I did a factory reset and now I'm back to 4.4.2
Evey single day I get a prompt to upgrade as soon as I unlock the phone every morning. See attachment for exact prompt.
It's annoying because I have to click through three dialogue boxes to get it to disappear, including scheduling the upgrade for a later time (within 24 hours). I plan to have this phone for another two years, and don't want to go through this every single day, because I'm afraid I'm going to accidentally click "install now" instead of "install later".

This might be hard coded into the Verizon ROM for the GS5. When I had my GS5 on AT&T and my GF had her GS4, we never received invasive prompts to upgrade.
You can try this:
Go to Settings > Application Manager > All > Google Services Framework and then uncheck "Show notifications"
For Lollipop, it is "Apps" instead of "Application Manager"

I just tried that. Thanks. I won't know if it worked until tomorrow morning, the first time I unlock my phone, so I'll report back.
Ok, Yea let me know. Some phones are different and the services might be named different (i.e. samsung services)

Notification came up this morning the same as always.

Any thoughts?
Nothing to do with verizon, those are generic samsung notifications.
Settings/Security/Updates or About Phone/Updates has option to disable them.

That doesn't work either. I'm starting to lose hope.
If you click on notification - there should be option button to disable them.
ASKER
Yeah, I did disable them, but that must not be where it's coming from, because it still pops up every morning.

When I go to Settings>System Updates, the stupid notification just pops up

Is there in "about phone" to disable them? Or separate service application?
Can you try in Settings/ applications/ running applications to check which one is samsung service app, then disable popups from it or disable it altogether....

I'm not sure which service it would be. There's very little of Samsung in there. I've attached a screenshot.

Samsung push service sends contifications when you have updates for preinstalled samsung applications.
You can disable it, same applications are in play store and amazon too, whichever you prefer.

I turned it off. I'll see what happens tomorrow morning. Thank you for sticking with this!
Once you have notification - make another screenshot and look for what is strange and new running. It should be there ;) arm yourself with patience... (And Android L is not that bad - it starts 3 times longer and runs 3% faster after)

The notification came up AGAIN! I took a screenshot of the running processes while the notification was running, but nothing jumps out at me as suspect.

PageBuddyNotiSvc looks useless....
ASKER
True, but nothing to do with this update. It has something to do with headphones.

I really am starting to wonder if I have to be rooted to be rid of this notification. I appreciate all your help and suggestions thus far, though.
I am out of ideas... Rooting to the extreme will not help much unless you can identify application at fault. btw i get lollipop popups with cyanogenmod too...
Samsung do not use a vanilla OS, they use their own with the TouchWiz interface. It is probably this that is asking for updates. Considering that I would say you are limited to rooting or upgrading. Personally I would upgrade and whilst loving it may be out of the question, hating it less seems the course of least resistance. Anyway, Marshmallow is due out soon, you might like that.
