I’m at a point in life I get a phone, set it up and live my life.
Everytime I get updates for my Samsung phone my menu is wack and I gotta click through thousand new commands and options that I will never use in my life.
Please just give me updates for my security and no more features.
Huh, I’ve always updated and there’s usually not much change. There are some minor ones but they don’t affect my day-to-day. The biggest ones the major version changes, but even then it’s usually a new font or some minor display tweak more than anything. I haven’t felt like it’s been disruptive.
Have you looked into custom ROMs? I feel like that’s usually how they function.
Or even just something closer to AOSP. I’ve been happy with Pixels for a while. No weird vendor shit.
Especially with a Samsung phone. I feel like I recall seeing jokes several years ago about how much bloatware they have.
I imagine it’s gotten better but I wonder by how much
I like getting new features 🤷
And I like it when a software update makes my device feel new.
What are some new features you’ve gotten?
Just join the not updating gang.
this isn’t my primary phone don’t actually do that
I’m still on Android 9. My phone can be upgraded, I refuse because it fucks shit up.
Running an un-updated OS is really stupid. Bragging about it is even worse.
Yup. Android 10 broke too much shit on this phone so I ain’t upgrading to anything else. Plus the primary reason I use this phone will be broken on later versions of Android so that’s a no go.
samsungs are notorious for doing stuff like this and beong generally bad at software.
the closer you are to AOSP, the less you will have to deal with such things.
Huh? I’ve been using Samsung since the s5 and I’ve literally never had this happen outside of major OS upgrades. And even those don’t really change much.
had plenty of issues with the a series
I think you remember something that is 15 years old. Samsungs are very good now and even though I don’t use the default launcher (OneUI), when I used it it didn’t seem clunky or anything. And yes, they put a lot of junk apps by default, but you can uninstall most of them right off the bat and never care.
for reference, mine is from 2018
ive seen a bunch of issues on a 2021 samsung too
This is why I get Motorolas lol I just set them up and they’re good to go. I think I get maybe 3 software updates per year!
That’s not a good thing, BTW.
This is why I don’t update until I need to reset, or get a new phone.
