Downloading over Mobile data disabled

Downloading Software Updates over Mobile Data is disabled on my phone. and I need to know how to enable it.

I have never had this issue before, but have seen others had it on previous devices, devices which I did NOT have this issue with.

Equally, I know 2 other people with S22 Ultras, that do NOT have this issue either! so why have Samsung disabled this for some users and not others.

I have an Unlimited 5G data SIM- It is actually BETTER and more reliable than my Wi-Fi so I'd rather use the Mobile data except 3 updates later, it STILL Doesn't allow me to update using Mobile Data.

Samsung need to answer for this because they shouldn't be allowed to dictate how we use our mobile data in the first place! and in any case, it is frustrating to say the least!!

Hi @Eltas Several  Members with the S22 series have found that downloading software updates restricted,  it may be to do with the software code. see further information on this thread .  https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s22-series/samsung-galaxy-s-ultra-gt-software-updates-not... 

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.


My Device- S21 Ultra 5G ( SM-998B/DS ) CSC= BTU , 12GB/256GB
One Ui 5.1,Android 13 .

Unfortunately this doesn't work. And mobile data still isn't accepted.

@Eltas what is your network provider? I have the same issue and I'm with O2 in the UK. I've recently upgraded from a Note10+. I tried swapping my SIM back to the Note10+ and that device does allow OTA updates via mobile data. Seems like either a Samsung software issue or a network operator restriction on the S22 Ultra devices

I'm also on O2 but I haven't had this issue on my previous, S20 Ultra, also on O2. But people have had issues with the S20 Ultra downloading over data. It's most definitely a Samsung issue, as I bought mine direct from Samsung, not O2
