What app to freeze to stop getting update notifications - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not interested in going through the process of restoring my phone every month so I can flash these incremental updates. I know on my older Androids that there was an app/program I could freeze with TiBu that would stop the phone from checking for updates. Can anyone tell me which app that is on our Nexus 6P?
I don't mind going through the steps for a real update, I just want to make the decision myself on when that's required.

I killed updates from the play store and that killed the ongoing notification of the update. Still downloaded it automatically but at least I don't have to see it.

Thanks, but I am hoping for something a bit more surgical than that. I have Play Store set to notify me of updates, but not install them automatically. I'd hate to turn it off completely.

Same research
I was doing the same research several time ago, but without luck, I already tested cleaning data from PLAY SERVICES, and disable the automatic aupdates from PLAYSTORE, no onde of them works in they way you expected too, after some reboots it comes back again, I just tried to disable the UPDATE SERVICE and worked but not after rebooting which keeps the problem, I will let you know if I find something.

I tried shutting off notifications from Google Framework Services, as suggested in another thread, but I still get the update message upon reboot. I also froze DMService, but that didn't work either.

[Q] Problems updating apps

I keep having trouble updating apps. For instance now it tells me that there are 3 apps that need updating. I tell it to update, it downloads the update then it says "attention required. tap here".
I tap and it says "can't play or download. There's a problem with the license".
These are just free apps and not large and I'm not letting it lock mid update or anything like that. I've worked around it by deleting the apps reinstalling, but it keeps happening the next time it needs to update.
Any ideas?
I had a problem like this, and it's a really poor design of this page; Where it says 'attention required' on the download page, hold down and a context menu will appear with 'retry' and 'cancel'
I have retried over and over and it just never completes. I deleted the update and I restarted the phone and still the same thing.
Getting a bit annoying
Still can't update any apps. Am I the only one?
Are they trial versions? Seems to be an issue where an update is pushed out for the paid version that doesn't apply to the trial, and the update doesn't go through but you still get notified about it. That's what I've heard (secondhand) from MS support, anyway.
Thanks for the reply. I deleted just about all the apps and it looks like updates started working again. Of course when I deleted the apps it wouldn't let me reinstall apps again, even one's I've paid for. This seems to have settled down after some time and a couple phone reboots.
All in all the whole marketplace and updating thing seems like a real mess from what I have seen, even when things are working right.
I hope we get some updates sometime soon.
Thanks again

willp2, did the apps reinstall when you synced your phone or did you have go to marketplace to redownload them? I'm having the same problem. Except one of the apps is one I purchased but never got to download because of the error.
I had to re-download them. It wouldn't let me at first, but after rebooting the phone I was able to redownload from the phone. I was never able to reinstall from the Zune desktop.

Market Aggravating

I keep getting the notice I have updates, then when I go to the market, sure enough ,there are apps that say they can be updated, but you click on them, and no option to update. Just open or uninstall...
WTF?
Must be problems with the Market server.
I used to have a problem with Market whe I had my MT3G. Would tell me that I had an update, download it and then tell me installation failed. But the download was completed. So I had to go to the directory and look for the APK and install it from there.
The problem I'm having is that I get a notice that theres an update...but when I go to the market I have to go through all my apps to find the update

Yeah this has been happening to me since the new version.
If you give it an hour or so it will be able to update.
Not sure what's causing it.
Maybe the update is submitted and for whatever reason is shown before its ready to be downloaded?
I've found I have some issues if my LCD density is set differently than the default. Every few days I reset it to 240, reboot, and update everything, then change it back to 200.
I have been seeing the same thing. It keeps telling me that Titanium Backup has been updated. Annoying.
When i have a update from market it downloads but freezes at 100% downloaded. Then i have to reboot my evo to redownload and install flawlessly, and automatically

PSA: Updating BlackBerry apps on a Priv

I've seen some people are getting their own Priv's, so I thought I would remind people that there's an odd bug making the Blackberry apps not show up under my apps in the Play Store. You have to go to the app pages manually and update from there, as there will be no notification. Perhaps @thurask can answer if the apps start to auto update?
I've seen this kind of thing on other Android devices. Seems like stock apps don't register for updates until you update them at least once, and then you get on-going update notifications. At least, that's been my experience with other devices. Once my Priv arrives, I'll be sure to add my experiences with it. Hopefully tonight! It's marked as shipped through Rogers' Reservation System since last night, so I'm hoping tonight... Really can't stand my LG F3Q anymore =\

Same here.
Just reboot your device after first setup. Then go into playstore and update all of your apps.

Question about an app that keeps closing?

I have a 6t tmobile version that I updated to the international version and I have an app that won't load. When I click on it I acts like is going to open and then closes instantly. Is supper quick that you don't really see it. Help. The app is the YouVersion bible app. The thing is that the app was working fine before the update to international version. And the only older versions work.
Every time I update I have a few apps that do this. I have to open the play store and let Android system WebView update to cure this problem. Have you checked for updates yet?

Oh, I get it. Did you disable it? That is very weird. That was needed and it being outdated was the exact cause of my problems when I had similar issues that you describe.
I remove many things from OOS, but I've noticed there a few things I have to make sure are up and running before I remove otherwise I have issues.
What I would do is try and re-enable that and update it. See if that fixes it. If it does great. Try and disable it again after that if you want. However I think you may need it. Otherwise if you are rooted, back up that app with TitaniumBackup, and probably it's data in Android / Data folders and try a fresh install (This should be a last resort)? <-- That is unless it's an app that doesn't really have data that matters. If it's something that can be freshly installed without worry go ahead.

I figure out how to enable it, but it did not help. The app keeps opening and closing instantly
try this
force stop the app, its probably running in the background
wipe the cache and data in the app(settings/apps and notifications/
then un install the app
now reboot, and let the phone settle in a minute
go to app store and try to download/ install again
thats what I would try.

I did that however it does the same thing am just going to wait for an update.
email the developer and let him know about your issue..
Thanks for all the help. I finally got it to work. What I ended up doing was reseting the phone. I guess the last time when I used the oneplus backup app it cause a problem. Or a least that is what I think. I used the Google backup instead.
I found the answer
Hi i hope it can help for myself i finally got the ultimate tricks to prevent any background app to be killed especially the bible using text to speech output you only need to move your app to system ?

Apps reactivating themselves

Hi guys
So I have disabled a few apps but the phone activates Google Photos and YouTube on its own, mainly after reboot. I have disabled automatic app updates on Play Store but that didn't do it.
Anyone with an idea on why this keeps happening?
Thanks.
I feel ya ? ... Just keep trying til they stay disabled. it usually takes a few tries to disable it cause Google reactivates them but after a few times they stay deactivated. I only use Google maps but even then It'll even update itself even if you uncheck the do not auto update.
Are you not rooted? I take it that's the only reason not to just remove them entirely?
Last time I ran OOS I removed a bit more than this, but this is an old list I posted. I never had any problems anything in that post.

Does it take more than 10 times? I have disabled plenty already and it updates because of something related to the language of the apps (I have cleared app data but didn't help).

Nope, no root. The solution is very straight forward with root
