Right? I’ve considered switching to a simpler device just to avoid all this hassle! It’s like a tech tug-of-war sometimes.
You all crack me up! If only my phone had a ‘not now’ button for updates. But on a serious note, I think adjusting settings can make a huge difference in how often updates prompt us.
Exactly, @qcuevas! Just turning off auto-update can help. But sometimes I question if it’s worth missing out on security patches. It’s a fine line to walk!
I’ve been dealing with the same issue! If you want to roll back to an earlier version of One UI, it typically requires downloading the firmware from a trusted source and using a tool like Odin. Just be aware, it can void warranties and could potentially brick your device if done incorrectly.

That’s good to know! But how safe is it? I’ve heard horror stories about downgrading.
Mark, it definitely comes with risks. You’ll want to back up your data because downgrades can sometimes wipe everything. You might also lose some features introduced in the latest version.
Thanks for the heads up! Is there a way to block the updates altogether?
Wesley, you can usually disable automatic updates in your settings, but it varies by device. Just know that this might leave you vulnerable to security issues in the future.

That’s a fair point! I guess balancing features with security is tough. Any hacks that might limit the update prompts?
Melissa, I tried a few apps from the Play Store that claim to manage updates, but they often don’t work as advertised. A simple search might yield some options, but use with caution!
Haha, sounds like trying to find shoes during a sale. Any specifics on which tools you’ve tried?
Amber, I understand! I tried using a couple called ‘Updates Remover’ and ‘Package Disabler’, but they weren’t reliable on my phone. If any of you have better luck, do share!
I wonder if Samsung has any plans for an easier downgrade option in the future. It’d really help us out!
