I started update last night. It took about 30 mins and phone rebooted. It appears to have the new software but still cant make calls or text. There is a progress bar under notifications that says android is upgrading. It has been doing that for 18 hours. It did move in the night to probably 60%. I cant get any farther. I don't kmow how to stop it but I want MM back. Please help if you know how to fix this. I would love to kust root it but I domt know enough to know all the steps to that

Is there anyway i can stop the constant reminders of my unwanted 2.2 update? I delete from the taskbar and within 1 hr it's back.
Can o2 tell that my Streak is fitted with a 3 simcard and they're trying to pressure me into upgrading knowing that my phone will be locked to them again?
Even the goddam weather man is telling me to check for updates every fifteen minutes
have you tried fooling it into thiking you updated. let it download the update and then pull the battery. the pkg will be on the set and it may see it and not tell you anymore. just a though
About 30mins ago my gf tells me here phone is showing a new update icon, so she shows me and I see it, kinda strange since the AT&T version never gets an update. So it says we need to have a mobile connection to update, so I turn the wifi off and put the mobile connection on and tap the update. Nothing happens.
I than realize I need to plug the phone to my laptop and use the software, so I do that and now its saying I can only check for updates once every 24hrs. So I set the clock up a few days, some error message. I mess with time, same error message.
So looks like im waiting 24hrs, but did anybody get this update today too? My gf has the AT&T version of the Xperia x10, 2.1-update 1 base.
I guess u got the update for gingerbread.
Okay, so my old phone basically broke after I updated to 4.4.4, my service was absent almost everywhere, my bluetooth went in and out, my phone was slow and froze constantly, and my battery could drain completely in like 30 minutes if I didnt turn everything off and hardly use it, then it would maybe last a few hours. So I got a replacement through Verizon, and lo and behold, it came with 4.4.2. My last post was about me trying desperately to root, but I couldnt because of my 4.4.4 update. So I was thrilled. I transferred all my stuff, and actually managed to use towelroot and it worked.
Then, my phone automatically downloaded the update, and I couldnt figure out how to stop the update popup or notification. Nothing I tried worked, and I downloaded a few apps to try and turn it off. Disabling or etc Google Services Framework does nothing, but somehow, everything else I did managed to make the phone basically unusable. I get two errors: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." and the same one but about Google Play Services. I tried to undo what I did but it didnt fix it. I reset my phone to factory settings, and while that stopped the downloaded update from popping up, i cant use it because the popups are there literally every 2 or 3 seconds. I cant navigate through a menu without tapping a hundred times, usually on the wrong buttons. I dont have wifi on, so the ota update hasnt downloaded.
Im going to probably take it to Verizon tomorrow and ask them if I can just get a replacement replacement, but I hate having to do all that, because I might have to wait even longer now. If somebody has any idea how to fix google play services, please tell me. I reenabled them, cleared data and cache, force stopped them, turned them back on, nothing fixes it.
Also, I desperately need to know how to prevent an update from downloading, and how to get rid of it once it is downloaded. Ill have root access, but none of the methods Ive googled have worked, please help me, Im so frustrated with Verizon and Samsung all this bull**** now. Why cant they just let us enjoy our devices?
First off a Verizon store will not give you a new phone unless you are inside of 30 days of a new purchase. Ofirst din 4.4.2 to give it a clean start. Re root phone. Then disable sdm which will stop all ota updates.
No, Verizon will give you a replacement if you have their insurance. I've gotten dozens this way. As long as there isn't any serious physical damage like obvious scratches or cracks, water damage, or anything similar they overnight you a brand new device.
I have two phones in my possession right now, on Monday I'll have a third. I went in and showed them the replacement, they seemed confused, but they always do. They told me to just send back the broken replacement and went ahead and put in for a new one, which Ill get Monday since tomorrow is no post.
So that problem is solved.
Ill try what you suggested when I get my replacement. I've never rooted beyond the towelroot I mentioned before, so this is all new to me. It seems like some methods I've seen only work on certain phones, so thats what Im worried about.
Do you think you could give me more specific instructions, because I have no idea what everything you said meant. Im just tired of googling everything you know? Id appreciate it!
Thank you for the reply!

Hey folks, running into several issues with my G2, hopefully someone can offer a bit of advice.
Here's the background. This is my 2nd G2 (first one got accidentally damaged), and I elected not to root or mod this one in any way once I saw it would eventually get the Lollipop update, at least until I could see what LG and Verizon cooked up. Well, the update got pushed through last night, and now I'm having nothing but problems.
1. Charging. I'm using the same cables I've always used with the phone, but now they don't seem to actually charge the phone at all. For instance, I plugged the phone in about an hour ago with the battery at 74%. The charging light is on, and the phone says it is charging, but the battery is now at 69%. This is with the original USB charger that came with the phone. I also tried another Motorola charger I had laying around, and the same thing seems to be happening.
2. Texting. I have no problem receiving texts, but I do when trying to reply. Once I send it away, it just says "Sending..." for a minute or two, then tells me it failed to send. I currently have a good signal, and I'm having no problem sending texts from my work phone (Droid 4, also on Verizon).
3. Error messages. I keep getting this message: "An Application Requires an Update. Requested by Google Play Services." When I click it in my notification bar, it takes me to the Play Store and to the Google Play Framework page, but the only options are "Deactivate", which doesn't work...or "Open", which just takes me to a settings menu. There is no option to update. Then this takes me to my next issue...
4. Unable to update any apps. I figured that the above error is an issue with an app I have that just needs to be updated to play nicely with Lollipop. Problem being, it won't let me update much of anything. Nearly every single app I try to update gets somewhere between 15-50% downloaded, then just hangs. I've tried letting it sit for up to 5 minutes, which is much longer than it should take to update a 10MB application, but it never moves an inch.
5. Strange icon. Last one may or may not have anything to do with my other issues. It's only started in the last half hour or so. Up in the status bar, there's a new icon displayed. It looks like a solid block with one edge sliced off (maybe it is supposed to be a piece of paper with a folded corner?) and has a question mark in it. It's in between my 4G icon and my signal strength, which is currently showing all 4 bars full.
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, or sympathy? It sucks, because I really love the phone. Please don't give me the canned answer to just root it and run a custom rom. I would certainly consider it, except with the battery steadily decreasing, I don't know if it will survive the process.
Lg backup then factory reset.

Hi guys I'm pretty new to the forums.
I've recently updated my note 4 to 6.0.1 via OTA not a rooted phone.
Now sometimes my phone battery will just drop down from like 40 percent to 0 but that's a known battery issue.
What the problem is sometimes the phone would just shut off by itself and when I turn it back on I have to wait a few minutes and it'll read phone cannot boot and all these msg's pop up. RIght now it's working so I can't really remember what it says but I would like to reflash or put a different rom on?
How do I go abouts doing this?
Thanks
