There is no way to get rid of it permanently. Hit the go back button and the notification will go away until the next time the phone wakes up. The last update I was able to do this for about 2 months then the update force loaded itself during a battery charge. Fortunatly all went well and the phone functions perfectly. I hope all goes well on the update that keeps proding me now. I will keep delaying the update as long as possible.

Was it actually installing kitkat or re-downloading the software update, which it keeps for mine over and over again. Been going on for almost a month now as I'm still trying to hold them off.

There IS a way to block the updates from coming, however it requires voiding your warranty and rooting it....I'm having issues with texting and was talking with a tier 2 and he even told me (since I'm 99.9% certain its the update that causes it) to root it to prevent getting the update. Pretty bad when a verizon tech tells ya to do that imho

I had a Verizon tech tell me to root also.
Imagine that, a Verizon tech telling you to void your warranty to fix a problem.

Kitkat is THE WORST UPDATE EVER!!!
