How to disable update to KitKat 4.4.2 until battery life / WiFi / Bluetooth problems resolved?

[Dr_D25]

Any way to remove the update prompts  / reminders until a more stable / less problem-filled update is released?

I don't want to update to KitKat 4.4.2 until these battery life / WiFi / Bluetooth problems are fixed.

I also like my blue status indicators up top.... I'm not seeing many positives to this update.

I froze Updater 4.1.2 and no longer receive OTA updates

Yes I am having the same problem with my Galaxy s3 after the update, Don't they test this stuff first? Thank goodness I have the extended battery. My concern is that it has even more spy ware capability which is enough to make me want to go back to the previous version.

We want you enjoying your update, miken91945. There's no way to reverse an update, but we can certainly help to make your experience better. And there's lots of testing done by us, the manufacturers, and Google before an update comes out. But with hundreds of housands of 3rd party apps available for the phone, it's hard to test all the combinations that can have different effects with the update. Can you give me a little more detail about what exactly is happening with your device? Any error messages?

I also have the same question. I don't want to update to 4.4 due to all the issues and my phone is constantly prompting me.. There must be a way to turn it off. Please help the user who asked the original question, customer support...

Simple, 1st, whY fix what is not broke?

2nd, last time you pushed an update against my permission, the htc thunderbolt because so slow it was useless.

3rd, it is my phone, not yours

4th Microsoft and Apple do not force upgrades on the owners so why do you?

With those reasons, whY would I want an update that is not needed?

Again, I own the phone, not you, so what gives you the right to force something on us that we don't want or need.
