Update released to cripple Note 7 in US - Sprint Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

I'm sure most of us knew this was coming https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/04/software-update-will-annoy-galaxy-note-7-owners-into-a-return/
I have my updates on "manual" and I was able to deflect the attempt that still managed to almost start. I ended u hitting later. I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable these updates from popping up via Root explorer which I think I seen before.
Thanks

They got me. I stopped the update but when I restarted my phone it was bootlooping. I cannot find the PHE (last "green battery" firmware) update anywhere. Looks like I'm returning my phone tomorrow. It has been a good fight.

That sucks. That same thing happened to me when I got my second Note 7 and the update installed on its own. I think we'll all have to give in at some point. This waterproof body and camera, better radio and a bunch of other crap has me refusing to give in. My rooted Note 3 is waiting..

After installing and running the disabler app I noticed a "Setup Wizard" app icon in my app drawer. Wth is it? Don't remember seeing this prior and uninstall is blocked.

Anybody know if rooting Note 7 will help get rid of the 60% limiter and also all the popup wanting you to return your Note 7 if so instructions please.

Any ideas?
Just now tried it, and was playing dark siders on it. Have you tried un installing and reinstalling? I'm sure you did, but just figured I'd ask just in case...

Bump, would love to get this working....
Works fine for me too - must be an issue with your device.

Onlive may not be around much longer. At least not in its current form.

They were bought out and put in a protective bankruptcy status that is similar to receivership. Their investors and the receiver/protector have huge vested interest in keeping onlive around. But settop boxes might go the way of the dodo.
Works for me

Seeing this too. A little wary on whether or not I want to install it.
Just found this:

Even so, I can't say I'm happy about Facebook forcing me to update with what ever permissions it chooses.
I can see me uninstalling it very soon...
My coworker had the same thing, only her download froze. Couldn't tell what was going on, so we killed about every app on the phone trying to get it to stop (plus rebooting, uninstalling FB, etc). Finally figured out it was actually doing it thru Downloads, not the Play Store.
That's the straw that broke the FB camel's back for me... uninstalled the app and went back to using the mobile website. I like it better anyways.

ATT ota update today (10/9)

I am getting an ota update from ATT right now. It is 697.51 MB.
@rvb1, any details? Screenshots, changelog?
I'm also receiving the update hope it's 5.1
Downloading now, will update...
I can confirm it is the 5.1.1 update. The difference in how the phone is performing is spectacular!
It's 5.1.1
I took it this morning and can confirm the it is 5.1.1.
I've been slammed at work today, so I haven't had an opportunity to screw around with it yet.
Took 8 hours to download. It's 5.1.1.
Mine only took less than an hour to download.
THANK YOU & CONGRATULATIONS TO AT&T FOR RELEASING THE NEW LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 UPDATE FOR THE NOTE 4 & THE NOTE EDGE ON OCTOBER 9TH 2015, MUCH NEEDED.
GO GET YOURS & TELL US WHAT YOU THINK OF IT

I tried downloading 3 times. Each time it reboots and says install interrupted, unable to update. Seems many are having the same problem.
Yep, same error here. I wonder if the people having the problem have their phones encrypted? Mine is, and fails every time.. :crying:
So, once you guys get updated, I highly recommend doing a factory reset afterwards. My battery drain I had after the update is gone now. The phone isn't getting hot anymore either.

I contacted AT&T and they suggested it. If you have not been able to update, clear your cache and remove a few apps. I did that and now I have 5.1.1.

Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 new OTA (after 5.1.1 update)

A few days ago I was prompted with a new OTA update that was about 100mb. There were some stability fixes/battery life improvement, but it seems like there may be some new bugs.
Now when I have an app in windowed mode it seems to lose focus on the window app after just a second and you have to keep tapping it to navigate around.
I'll post a screenshot of the update info soon.
Yes, my tab pro 12.2 after updating with non reversible update had just gone wild. Please don't update it yet those incompetent bug fixer needs to chew some more bugs before they can fix something which was not broken at all. I don't know why they have to put their fingers where it don't belong. May be they have to show their bosses they are doing something great for the money they are paid.

Yeah I see that but it's hard to believe you wouldn't be able to odin back to any of the stock firmwares from sammmobile, I was told after updating to lollipop I wouldn't be able to downgrade to kk, but I tested that and it worked

It's peel smart remote. If you're rooted uninstall it. If not disable it.

My dad had the same thing. As soon as we disabled peel remote it was gone.

OMG Thanks! For those not rooted another option, try this.
Deinstall peel, it will say only removing all updates, which is ok. Do that. Then go in playstore and while it's in the list again to update : change the option to not auto update this app. So, select peel from your update list, by marking it and up right in the settings make the change. Each time there are updates you will have to say to skip it, but this nagging unwanted crap is gone and back to what it was. A useful remote tool.
Hope this helps.
Very despicable practice of this firm. They charge you a dollar a month to get rid of advertising. Sad.
Thanks - in the last few days I have been trying to uninstall Apps to see which did this nasty thing!
It's too bad as at first The remote app (Was it just Smart Remote) was nice but it got out of hand!
