Possible Stop New Update 60% Battery Limit, Please Help

Hello,
Can someone please explain if its possible to stop the update that lowers your battery to 60 max charge? Im with tmobile, running on the PI4 and have NOT updated yet but I received my first warning. I want to keep this phone, I dont feel I'm at risk and I only charge the phone when Im awake. Please let me know if this is possble, and if you can point me in the right direction. I'm not a complete newbie but Im not pro either.
Thanks in advance for any help

Look for the new thread under questions and answers saying package disable pro. It'll solve your problem. I also got the update but didn't apply it from Tmobile. Using the steps outlined from the user in package disabler pro version number 6.3 it removed the update icon I had received. Again, be sure to follow the instructions from that new thread by not using the newest version. Use the 6.3 that the poster provided.
Link is below.

You have to also remember and be careful to not update Package Disabler Pro or EZ Disabler in the PlayStore. Samsung forced them to remove system updates from their apps. Sucks to have to manually update everything, but that is where we are at.

I know that wasn't meant for me, but absolutely no can do!! The phone I will get may not be released in the US until January, plus T-Mobile still has my bill jacked up! I'm not going to fight them for a full refund until they stop charging me for a phone I already paid for in full! I've been fighting them since September to correct my bill! Then, they have to clean up that mess of charges for the Tab and everything else. I'm using this baby until the day my refund is clear to be deposited directly back into my account with no problems AND when I can get my hands on the Huawei Mate 9!

update already getting pushed

Bloody hell,I literally just today reenabled updates tonight and got an update pushed to me. 1. Should I take it? 2. What is changing? 3. Can I not take it somehow if I want to wait? 4. Can I later still accept it and do it?

T-Mobile pushing out a new update too.

Why wouldn't you take it? S8 had no issues with root, with all updates.

In BK disabler, search for SDM and disable the 2 packages. Bye OF A. I also disabled them in developer options. This is for Verizon, not sure about others.
Also, just curious if there will be an official XDA Verizon n8 forum.

Sprint has one too. not taking since I want root later.

People moan when they don't receive updates and moan when they do? I would advise you don't take the updates, Last thing you want is Samsung looking after your device.

4K 60fps?

I heard from another post on here, thats its a bluetooth security fix.
But dont know. I disable updates. It seems like after a few the phone starts to run slow

Any body know if the unlocked version has this update I'm waiting I'm mine. I plan to wait and see if root comes. Also because of the WiFi hotspot being unlocked out of the box. What if this update blocks this.

Updated my unlocked September 16th. So happy they’re keeping up with the carriers on their updates! Seems a little smoother to me. Still no swipe down on the home page to get the notification panel to expand though. Looks like I’ll have to update home wiz to get it.

Software Update 12-14-17

Hey all,
Sprint variant. Just had an update pushed to the phone. Now ends in QK3... Any idea if this might address network performance issues? I was having initial connection delays when loading web/internet apps... Have been using a dns changer as a workaround that uses a local VPN to use openDNS as it may have been a DNS issue that was borked in the previous patch. Thanks!

I saw the update too, it showed up on mine around 9am EST. I've yet to do it, though, since I don't know what's included.

Hi all. Have any of you try flashing the N950U1 2BQK1 firmware on Sprint Note 8 and get VoLTE or WiFi calling? Back in August Sprint start pushing the VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling update on the Galaxy S8, not sure if Sprint did change their CSC so you can used the U1 firmware and get Full VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling like T-MOBILE or Verizon. I have an AT&T Note 8 and Verizon Note on Verizon service running on the new updated N950U1 2BQK1 firmware. I currently don't have Sprint service now but planning to get 1 line's
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------
Just want to find before I get a line, I prefer Samsung only firmware instead of carrier bloatware firmware. I like spam feature on stock Samsung unlock firmware, plus better battery life and performance.

Uninstalled when prompted after receiving June security patch today. Went to link I received when paying for it on their website and re-downloaded to get the latest version, now working fine again.

Is the app you refer to the same as Package Disabler Pro? I bought it a while ago, then it disappeared and now it's back in the Play store with a different name?
Now the one I can find is this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon

That one.

I would try contacting the developer with your email address and product key. I'm sure they will be able to provide you a download link for the latest version. My download link says it only works 3 times, so I only have one download left.

Mine quit working as well after samsung update. Saved my key but lost dl link. Contacted devs this morning, awaiting response.

This is the one I'm using:

I'm on the latest updated from T-Mobile and it's still working for me.

We are still on Oreo on mine and the wife's VZW branded Note 9s.
We've been using Package Disabler Pro, Orchard from the developers web site, not the Play Store, since April 8. We get no indication of any system updates.
We were using AdHell3, before that.

I've read of issues with the Play Store version.
I would purchase from their web site, directly.
There you can ask the Developer if it will work for your phone version.
The Samsung page is currently "under maintenance".
https://www.packagedisabler.com/packageinfo/

Mine isn't working either since the latest update for the Verizon Note 9. I purchased it direct from the website and used the last download. Also save one of your downloads(apks) in Google drive or something. When they send an update out it will update the app. I did hear from the developers and they said they are working on a fix.

Hello everybody,
I've got the same problem. with July update and app version 15
Error Message : failKLM: Error code unknown 203, status fail
I cannot find anymore the app on Google Play (unless I access it though direct link).
Do we think the developer is not supporting this app anymore?
Anyone has a solution?
many thanks
P3dr0

Im using S10+ and cannot using Package Disable Pro anymore

Since the last update I am having problems as well. I had purchased this a long time ago on an older samsung device and it stopped working. Switched to bk disabler and then that didnt work on the Note 9. So went back to this app.
It seems the dev pulls the app from the store and then publishes a new one. The only way to fix this in the past was to buy the new version.
Seems like a scheme to make more money, but the apps work.

I don't think it is the phone update that caused it. The license-keys used, and these dev purchases from Samsung, have expired on mass possibly because they were misused or even meant to expire after period of time. Dev knows all this and you should be aware that you purchased essentially a subscription, even though you think you paid one purchase, and one that you never know when it will expire. Maybe in 6, maybe 8, and maybe 3 months. If the whole set up was above board then you would not have been forced to repurchase the same item again and again. There's no excuse, no supporting David v Goliath fight, it has become a milking operation.

Don't Waste Your Time and Money with this app! In a year and a half I bought it five times!!!

This is the CORRECT answer. It's money grab.
I posted this in another forum but this is how it works:
TLDR:
Many, if not most, of Samsung-specific 'Package Disablers' violate Samsung's license permissions. As such, they are routinely removed from Google Play or stop working altogether because of this violation.
Explanation:
To provide clarity, many, if NOT most, of these Samsung-specific 'Package Disablers' use KNOX specific APIs to allow you the ability to disable applications.
It's a clever use of an existing pipeline; provide end-users with low level device functionality provided ONLY to Knox-approved Developers or Companies.
To develop and access Knox, you need a development key.
To activate your Knox-related application, you need a license.
For each device your Knox-related application is installed on, you need another license.
So if you want to use Knox or its related APIs, you have to pay.
In the past, there were many creatives ways around these limitations but Samsung has become MORE and MORE stringent on the qualifications required to use Knox and routinely check-ins on how Knox is being used. Violate them and you lose access.

I had this issue. I emailed them and this is what I got.I bought the one from their site and have not had a problem since.
Hi,
Package disablers prior to version 15 are blocked by Samsung in play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon&hl=en
We don't want to create new package disabler apps. Samsung blocks our play store app to promote their bloatwares so we are left with no options. If samsung doesn’t block the play store app, it should keep working. Another option is to buy app from our website that is never blocked by Samsung. http://www.packagedisabler.com/
Regards,
PD Team
UPDATE:
OK mine gave me the error. They said they are working on the problem right now.
Dear User,
We are working to resolve the issue.
Regards,
PD Team

Use adb for disable whatever . Find how on xda! :good:

I re downloaded my licensed version from their website and reinstalled. It will not complete their license check when opening the app.
All was well until the last update to my note 9, then it quit working altogether. I'm inclined to believe the posts above that explain shady access to security features, which got blocked in the update.
Contacted the (usually responsive) developer and was told they are working on it, but that was over a week ago.

Each region receives OS updates at different times. You should receive yours soon. The android 10 OS update release for the N960N was a few months behind the German N960F release date

I don't think it's meant to be though.
I've extracted your zip and upgraded gxfonts, rebooted my phone, but gxfonts refuses to build a custom font using the TTF file. Tapping the build button does nothing ?

mine is ok
can you try this? extract the ttf file
click Regular, and choose the extracted ttf file
bdw you too on android 10 right?
does your phone really goes full screen?
mine shows a bar at the bottom on every app

Hi, thanks for the assistance, though I've just managed to get it installed. It looks like the file name gx fonts was trying to save was too long, and didn't work until I shortened the name.
I'm not on 10 UI2 I'm still using 9 UI1, as I want to keep fullscreen in everything. If Samsung could sort that out I'd update. But I'm staying put at the mo.

hmmmm. so i seems im not the only one having this fullscreen issue then?
so you manage to install he font? nice

bdw I am no sure if this would help. I am on Android 10... and full screen working after factory reset

So you can turn on full screen and leave it on 24/7 without seeing the notification bar, nor the navigation keys at the bottom (using gestures of course). And the entire screen is used by the app you're using? No bars, spaces, blank areas?
I've heard different from other users, but it would be great if fullscreen immersive works like I have it now ?
