Galaxy S9 SeriesI've seen how awful it is and I've been able to put it off, but my phone just said it'll update next time my phone is off or in about a week at 2am or something. Or if there isn't a way to stop it would doing a factory reset once it updates help? But I don't really want to go through and set my phone back up the way I currently have it. Any help? Thanks!

Galaxy S9 SeriesThe only thing that will stop this is A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against Samsung for hijacking our personal property and controlling it as if it were their own. Our phones are bought and paid for by us and Samsung has no right to force updates on us against our wishes, interfere with our lives and put us in danger while they're doing it. I am 100% in this if someone wants to get the ball rolling.

Galaxy S9 SeriesThere is no such option on the S10

Galaxy S9 SeriesThe S10 does not give that option.

Galaxy S9 SeriesI can't do that on the S10. The only possible way seems to be a class-action lawsuit to force Samsung to cease and desist their illegal takeover of our privately owned devices.

Galaxy S9 SeriesGo into settings, about phone, software, build number and keep tapping it till developer option is enabled.
Then you go into developer options and disable auto update or system update whatever it's called.
I'm running oreo on my S9, turned off all the update settings. I still get the reminder if I restart my phone and it's there if I drag the top notification bar down but I can live with that.
Regarding lawsuits etc, when you first set up your phone you go through a section where you agree to the software and updates. With that I'm not sure a lawsuit would work.
But, Android 10 aka Q is not far away, it might be decent.
A bit like windows on pc, you get the occasional disaster of an operating system then the next one is perfect lol

Galaxy S9 SeriesIf that's possible via the developer options would that then stop Security Patches which imo are crucial !
Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²² Ultra 256Gb.
Samsung Gear s³ Frontier Watch.
Samsung Galaxy Watch⁴ Classic.
The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
I have no affiliation with Samsung.

Galaxy S9 SeriesHi Enjay,
Thank you for your post about disabling updates. I got as far as tapping build number till i got to "you are a developer," but now I don't know how to get into developer options to complete the disabling process. Can you tell me how to do that?
Thank you again!

Galaxy S9 SeriesCome back out of there then go back into settings and developer options is at the bottom. Go into that then scroll down till you see auto update system and switch it off.
