How to disable updates on a Galaxy S4

Is there a way to disable or turn off the Verizon updates to a Galaxy S4?
After the last big update, I had to do a factory reset and rebuild the phone from scratch.

Why don't we start a GRASS ROOTS Demand to be able to control the fate of our phones.
I RESENT having these updates FORCED on us by VZW and Samsung.
I RESENT being a Guinea pig for their programming faults.
THe last update - I resisted for 4 weeks after hearing on the bulletin board of the nightmares encountered. (Do you know how many times I had to reject that message???
Went to SUPPORT and checked and was reassured that ALL of the issues had been fixed. Finally, allowed the update. It bricked my phone. The replacement phone had 2 major problems (could not hear the phone call and the battery would drain from 100% to 30 % IN THE MORNING!
FINALLY a new refurbished phone solved the problem AFTER HOW MANY HOURS OF MY TIME with Verizon level 1,2 and 3 and Samsung level 1 and 2 support??
These are OUR phones.
We should NOT have to receive and change our phone if it is working correctly unless we are CONVINCED that the update gives us an advantage AND WORKS!!!
We could be NOTIFIED that an update is available (Like the USED to do) and then update at OUR discretion when it was convenient.
This probably will be deleted by the monitors, But it did help me feel good to get it off of my chest.
Can someone MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE than I initiate the petition?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
See if this helps (as taken from Adobe helpx http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-update-manager-administrators-cs3.html. Looks like CS3 & CS4, I know. But worth giving a shot:
On Windows XP or Windows Vista
      Using Regedit.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe
      Create a new key in this folder named "Updater"
      Create a new DWORD value within this key named "Enterprise with a value of "1"
Also, try one or both of these:
HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
HKLM - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCU - HKEY_CURRENT_USER
(I'm sure you're aware of this, but for other users who visit this thread for similar issue - this will help!)
Let us know how it goes.

How to disable updates on Mac Clients

Hi
I am working in school. It is bit of hassel when students are working on something and updates pop up every 5 minutes.
I want to know how can i disable updates on all machines using remote desktop for all the application? (e.g Office 2008, Adobe photoshop, ilife.)
Thanks

That has little to do with Windows and Apple Software Update, but would fit into Using Mac OS X Leopard.

Not sure how or if to go in and if Apple Remote Desktop, or if you need to push a new system image...

How to disable updates and hide set as default browser option in firefox 31.0 for many users,like changing the setttings in any file

Hi,
I am trying to disable updates, set as default browser option and import settings from other browers permanently for many users for firefox 31.0.
can you please help me with that. I know settings are going to prefs.js file in user profile. How can make this permanent for many users.

Hi gaurav3012,
Permanent change would be locking preferences: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
However importing many users profiles to different computers may require a new profile for each user.
Currently there is an option to import bookmarks from other browsers, but not preferences.
Update preferences can be read about here: [[Configuration Options for Updates]]
Firefox ESR is also another version of Firefox that is meant for Enterprise environments [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/] that mostly has their support on their mailing list.

How to disable update for "WC_NAVIGATION_ACTIVITY "

hi Experts,
My customer is suffering from wc server(wls) is in warning status which is caused by "PORTAL has long session runing more than 300 secs", the sql caused long session is "UPDATE WC_NAVIGATION_ACTIVITY SET EXT_ATTR1 = :1 , EXT_ATTR2 = :2 WHERE (USER_ID = :3 )", my customer wondered what this table(WC_NAVIGATION_ACTIVITY ) is for and is it possible to disable update it?
Best regards

Hi,
It looks like your customer is using WebCenter Spaces, this table stores the navigation history of every user. Please check that the user for your Datasource has the correct privileges to update that table.
"WC_NAVIGATION_ACTIVITY"
( "ID" VARCHAR2(200 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"CONTEXT" VARCHAR2(200 BYTE),
"USER_ID" VARCHAR2(200 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"PAGE_URL" VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,

How to disable "Update to Adobe ReaderX!" popup on terminal server

We have one of our clients on a Citrix farm that utilizes 3 Windows 2003 terminal servers. I keep Adobe Reader patched manually, and it's currently at 9.4.5. My "problem" is that my users get nagging popups from Adobe asking if they want to update to X. Is there any way to disabled this? Google hasn't been much help, although I was able to disabled Adobe Reader 9.0 updater with a registry key, it seems like this popup is of a different nature. Or, will disabling Updater (HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown\bUpdater:0), also disable these popups? Thanks!

If you are asking about disabling this dialog below, can you try
1. setting bUpdater DWORD value to 0 in registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown
Notes:
a. this will disable Adobe Acrobat\Reader Updater
b. on 64bit systems you may have to try to set bUpdater in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown
2. setting iReaderMajorVersionUpdateDialogDoNotShowAgain DWORD value to 1 in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVAlert\cCheckbox
Note,
This one is per User setting and does not affect Updater

How to Disable Updates in Adobe Acrobat Standard

About 8 months ago we installed about 40+ Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 installations throughout our environment. We then have had the time to create a completely hands free installation .msi that disables the AutoUpdate feature and a configures a few more items.
My question is:
How can I disable the AutoUpdate feature on Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 without having to go into the Edit>Preferences Menu and deselect it?
Thanks for your time.

The Updater guide has your needed information.
If you get the AIM AIR app, you'll get a database of other configurable preferences.

How to disable updates for terminal services.

We have installed firefox on our terminal servers. but currently it is set for auto updates. We need to disable auto updates on a server level so that we have consitancy of version across the board. The solutions I've searched via Google all are solutions for Firefox 2.x but now version 9.0 is out the same methodolgy doesn't apply.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);

How To Disable Update Service Prompt

Hello,
I am deploying NI 488.2 onto multiple remote systems using silent installation. The installation works well except that an NI Update Service prompt appears after restarting. I can disable the prompt by unchecking the "periodic check..." check box in the NI Update Service settings. However, I want to be able to "uncheck" this box during or immediately after the installation. Is there a configuration file or registry entry that I can use to remotely disable the update service prompts? Thank you for your help!!
-Eric
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Steve,
I'm referring to the command line arguments used when automating installation of NI installers. KnowledgeBase 4GGGDQH0 has more explicit instructions for automating installation.
If you're not automating installation, you can manually deselect the request to contact National Instruments for new notifications and updates in the installer dialog.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.
