Android - Block Automatic Updates & Firewall
Block Automatic Updates
If you are only concerned about "System Updates", you may want to disable the automatic updates on your device, prior to your flight.
- Go to Settings > Apps.
- Navigate to Manage Apps > All Apps.
- Find an app called Software Update, System Updates or anything similar, since different device manufacturers have named it different.
- To disable system update, try any of these two methods, the first one being recommended:
Tap Turn Off or Disable button and then OK. In case this button is grayed out, tap on Force Stop > OK to turn the process off temporarily. In such case, there is a possibility that the app may turn on automatically after some time. The app will surely be turned on again after the system reboot or if you check for updates manually.
