how to cancel ios upgrade

[ethan2]

i have an iphone 3gs.
and have made a point of not upgrading to ios6.

i wanted to upgrade an astronomy app.
so went into settings then generall.
software upgrade was showing one update.
i pressed upgrade software.
then realized snap maybe i've just put an upgrade of the ios in motion that i didn't want.
stopped the settings app to hoping to stop the upgrade.
but every time i go into settings it is automatically continuing to look for the software upgrade.

once settings finds the upgrade does it automatically load the upgrade or do i have an option window to cancel it?

cheers

As long as the status bar for the download isn't moving, you should be fine. Many users use a similar method to keep the little red button from bothering them at their springboard on the Settings.app. It won't automatically start again unless you tell it to resume.

To update apps, open up the AppStore, and tap on Updates.

Once an iOS update becomes available it will automatically download to your device if it has an Internet connection. It will NOT install itself, however. The installation has to be manually authorized. If the iOS update was already downloaded and you accidentally hit the install button, you may very well be stuck with it.

First off... you should have hit the Update button. Seeing as you've already done that... Hard Reset your iPhone. That'll stop the update.

Unfortuantely I cannot tell you one way or the other. It's truly a toss up on whether or not you'll have issues w/ it.
