Stop pre from trying to force update to 1.3.1?

So like most other posts after 1.3.1 was dumped on the unsuspecting populace, I updated, saw none of my major bugs fixed, introduced only worse ones, and I flattened my phone back to restore back to 1.2.1 until palm gets their act together (hopefully).  I spared my wife the woes of upgrade after she saw how bad it made my phone react, but almost immediately hers began trying to force her to update, and a few days later me too. Even worse we couldn't get it to stop trying.
I need to know how to stop this incessant nagging until I actually see some positive result from attempts to upgrade to non-buggy software - I'm afraid im going to accidentally let it upgrade and have my phone paralyzed/unuseable again on 1.3.1.  What can we do to stop the forced upgrade other than keep telling it "upgrade me later" at every charge?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Ok, now I'm pretty much p*ssed at palm...  So at some point over night it decided to auto-update itself without asking prior to me removing patches and everything else, so in essence now my phone is completely hozed - again.  So now not only are all my patches gone that actually made the phone usable, I get the joy of 1.3.1 freezing up my phone every 2 seconds, yahoo/msn/communicator are all broken, and I need to flatten the phone yet again (and this time doing the recommended killing of UpdateManager).
This is really disappointing that the community takes up Palm's shortcommings in fixing problems and adding functionality they're lacking, only to have Palm come along and completely screw them up.  Palm is well aware of the community fixing their inability/inactions through homebrew, but still choose to force updates that can cripple the software automagically. They need to learn to co-exist, and not hard-handedly update when homebrew is present!  This will just continue to fracture their community as they've been doing already.
No matter how good linux itself has become, vendors like Palm can still screw it up with buggy java stacks and poor overall software implementation.

  • How do I stop firefox from trying to resend every day an old email which I addressed to a bad email address?

    Unknowingly I sent an email a couple of weeks ago to an outdated email address. I get an update from Mozilla every morning showing how many times it tried to resend that email the day before. But no instructions on how to stop it from trying to resend. Is there a way to stop the resending process? I already know the new correct email address.

    Go to the Outbox and delete the mail.
    The Outbox is under Local Folders.

  • Is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send?

    Is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send? (Poor thing has been trying for a day and a half. I'd like to put it out of its misery.)

    What options do you have if you right click on the pending email.
    Just why is that mail not being sent? That is the real problem. Something isn't correct with your email outgoing settings making sending any emails impossible.

    I've been advised to delete my outbox as a way of stopping Mail from trying to send. How do I delete my outbox?

    Actually, i had already deleted the emails trying to be sent in the outbox, which didn't work. What did work was going to Mail>Window>Activity and stopping the sending from there. Thank you for replying.

  • How do I A) Edit failed messages and B) Stop Mail from trying after failing

    I'm trying to send an email but it keeps coming back and saying the address isn't valid. It's a very long email and don't want to re-type the whole thing, but would prefer instead to send it to myself so I can edit it on my computer. When I go to outbox, I see it there but I can't figure out a way to edit it. In addition, it seems that the outbox is constantly trying to send even after i fails in turn preventing any new messages from coming in. In other words, the only way I can get new messages is to delete this message from my outbox. I don't want to do this until I have sent it to myself. So A) how do I edit this message once it's in my outbox and B) is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send over and over even after it says that it has failed?

    I had this problem a week or so ago......
    I'll speak generally from memory. Sorry, I can't be as specific as possible, but this method did work for me on three bad messages I had over a couple of days.
    I got the message into edit mode, possibly by selecting a send it to me option, possibly not.
    The correction was to click on the outgoing address in the header and then the iPhone presented me with my outgoing email address options. Changing the out-going address fixed the message.
    I may have been left with the original message, but the complete copy with the corrected address went through, and then I deleted the incorrect version once I was certain it went out okay.
    Afterwards, I make certain I'm selecting an out-going address that the iPhone will work with. My home Roadrunner address is what fails on the iPhone, when I make certain to use my Google address, all works fine. And if a message fails on me, I check that out-going address to see if that was the problem and needs to be changed.

  • How do I stop MobileMe from trying to sync

    How do I stop MobileMe from trying to sync?

    Hey narfee,
    I found an article that can goes over how to unregister your computer from syncing.
    MobileMe Sync: About registering and unregistering computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1074
    It depends on what type of computer you're using, but I pasted the relevant steps below:
    Unregister a computer from syncing
    If you no longer want a computer to sync with MobileMe, you can unregister the computer from syncing. You can unregister any computer that is registered for syncing from any other computer with Mac OS X v10.4.11, v10.5.8,  v10.6.x, OS X Lion, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, as long as you know your member name and password.
    Unregistering a computer from syncing does not delete any data.
    To unregister a computer from syncing:
    Mac OS X v10.4.11
    Open System Preferences
    Click .Mac
    Click Advanced
    Select the Computer you wish to unregister
    Click Unregister
    Mac OS X v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion
    Open System Preferences
    Click MobileMe
    Click Sync
    Click Advanced
    Select the Computer you wish to unregister
    Click Unregister
    Note: In Mac OS X v10.5.8, if you unregister all computers you may be prompted to delete unwanted sync data. If you are no longer syncing with MobileMe, you can delete the unused sync data from the MobileMe servers.
    Windows XP or Vista
    Open Control Panel
    Click MobileMe Preferences
    Click Sync
    Click Advanced
    Select the Computer you wish to unregister
    Click Unregister
    Cheers,
    David

  • How can I stop Mozilla from trying to install the updater everytime I open it?

    I had issues where Firefox eats memory searching for updates. I disabled the Updater, now every time I open Firefox, it tries to reinstall it. so i open Fire fox, the computer asks me if I want to let the Mozilla Updater" make changes to my computer. I say no and then firefox opens. Is there anyway to keep "updater" from trying to install everytime I open firefox?

    Do you mean the updating service that Firefox installs and that Windows runs in the background? You can turn that on and off with a checkbox in the Options dialog. See this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]].

  • How do I stop iTunes from trying to connect to store?

    Does anyone know please how to stop the "could not connect to iTunes store" error from appearing?
    I deliberately do not want to connect to the store - my hard drive on this PowerBook is full, and it's now retired from day to day use and is used solely now as a music system with speakers attached.
    Despite signing out of iTunes and disabling the store in the parental control panel, however, iTunes keeps wanting to connect to the store. Is there any code I can type in to stop this from happening?
    My question is purely an aesthetic one: the error message springs up every half hour over the enlarged album cover flow, looking ugly, and pings the display back to the standard iTunes display. I don't want or need to connect to the store again on this computer.
    Cheers
    steve

    I don't have a good solution yet but I have the same issue.
    Preferences:
    Show = Podcasts, Applications, Radio.
    Check for new software updates = unchecked.
    Store = all "Automatically..." are unchecked and...
    iTunes Store = disabled in Parental control.
    View/Show Artwork Column = unchecked.
    Advanced/ "Get Album Artwork" has never been clicked.
    iTunes will still sometimes show "Accessing iTunes Store" when it's launched. Little Snitch verifies that it IS trying to make a connection. Little Snitch is a partial solution -- I blocked iTunes but then the app starts reeaallly slooowwllly if it tries to connect. There doesn't seem to be any traceable difference between when iTunes tries to connect on launch and when it doesn't.
    I understand that software is licensed, not owned, but I pay for the network connection. I'm in a really old part of town and even 256K DSL comes with no throughput guaranty. I can't have things bogarting my network willy nilly without asking. Especially after I've set everything so that it doesn't need to connect. This is as ******** as the calculator connecting, without asking, with the URL hard-coded into the executable.

  • How to stop DWCS3 from trying to

    Hello,
    How do I stop DWCS3 from initially trying to connect to the
    internet when I start the program? I had a problem a week or so ago
    whereby it hung every time I tried to run the program when not
    connected to the net. It seemed to resolve itself accidentally by
    running a Microsoft update. However, it's started to do it again.
    I just need to stop it displaying the 'Connect Now' box if
    possible. If I am connected to the net, it runs fine and opens
    without a problem !
    Cheers

    Ordinarily, as soon as I click to open DWCS3, it starts and
    as soon as it gets to the initial splashscreen stating the version
    and build, it halts and a dialogue box opens asking if I want to
    connect to the internet. Mostly, I just click 'NO' until I have
    built the site or made changes. Only then do I connect. This is
    especially relevant when travelling on trains etc where I can't
    connect.
    This has always happened since I started with Dreamweaver MX.
    It was no hassle, I just clicked NO and only connected later when
    required.
    However, my problems have been that I don't even get as far
    as the splash screen anymore - it just freezes at the initial green
    screen with version number etc.
    I've now had more trouble in that a licencing dialogue opens
    saying it is no longer licenced and needs reinstalling. This is
    probably my fault because I went into msconfig and switched off an
    Adobe Licence Check (or something like that). I switched it off
    thinking this might cure the ' connect now' splash screen I always
    get. Now, even though I have re-enabled it, it doesn't work. And,
    neither does Fireworks CS3.
    I'm downloading the CS3 clean install thing from Adobe. Do I
    have to uninstall Photoshop CS2 for this to run?
    Cheers.

    How do I stop Firefox from doing this?

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
    Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

  • How can i stop firefox from telling me to update it

    every time i get on Firefox and try to watch a video at 2 min. and 30 sec. it sends me to a screen telling me to do a recommended update and erases the video. I've tried updating it and it still continues to do this, all that happens when i update it is it puts the weather channel and other apps i don't want on my laptop. I've even tried turning off updates all together but it still does nothing to stop the problem.
