Beware! Auto OTA update! This is the last straw...

This morning my S5 auto updated itself without ANY of my intervention or approval. And by the time I realized it, it had already rebooted itself into recovery and was flashing itself. For those of us, like myself, who are pushing off the updates in hopes that an exploit will be found, this is a massive problem. I wiped it clean and returned it today for a full refund, as I bought it full price off-contract. I will be getting the Tmobile S5 and sim unlocking it. Screw you, AT&T.

Not that it's right, but you have to say fairly that you had likely declined the Auto-Update a few times of which each instance stays it for 4hrs(I'm sure it doesn't directly say it will do that).
I have been rigorously going into App Manager and stopping AT&T Auto-OTA update after any reboot. If you want to stop it from happening at night time then put the phone in U. Power Saving mode and it won't.
If any users have declined the Auto-Update it says on the AT&T site that after several denials and 4hr stays that it will reboot and auto update so your only course of action is what I'm submitting here. My solution so far has been to stop the AT&T Auto-Ota service that doesn't seem to auto wake itself other than on reboot and recently adding U. Power Saving Mode at night when I can't be attending.

This is weird. I did not even get notification about update. I check it today and told me my software is up to date please check in 24 hours..My first reaction was to check if i get update with out notification, but no. I'm still on NCE firmware.

There is an update on the AT&T model?

I accidentally hit the update button after it asked me 9432590 times to update, so I immediately pulled the battery out (one of the nice features of having a samsung phone) after it started to reboot. I put in back in, fired it up and got a message saying "The update process was interrupted and was unsuccessful" or something like that. I haven't been bothered by it since
I wouldn't recommend anyone trying this as it seems very likely that a chance of bricking your phone will result, but if you want to risk it, do it.

Once the update appears you're out of luck. I postponed it several times and woke up to the update already applied. In a few weeks I'm going to tell at&t to go to hell and switch over to TMO.

This is nothing new. It's been happening with the S4s for over a year now. Unfortunately root is needed to freeze the apps responsible for the updates. Turning off Wifi, while not using the phone, can help, but until root is achieved it's going to happen.

Depending how vigilant, U. Power Saving mode is the best non-root way to ward it off.

Me either, my only nag is the security policies and i just swipe it away and keep killing the AT&T OTA update process anytime i see it restart after a reboot. I only suggest U. Power Saving because it turns off all the radios etc while sleeping so 0% chance of a snake in the grass crawling in while you slumber.
Half of me is a little mad at myself for underestimating how much I'd miss root, I sold a perfectly good Loki compatible GS4 for this thing. The other half of me realizes this phone is great because it's locked down and i can configure it to 90% of what i want and still quite enjoy it. Coming to terms that the GS4 owners after Loki had to suffer this and are STILL to this day and that may be our inevitable situation.

It's funny how normal users are always waiting for the carrier updates and yet we're here hating on them and trying to find a way stop stop the updates. There are so many customers that ask me about the software updates on a daily basis.

I do know this , somehow my SE security was updated, then I choose to take the OTA, I was messing around with some root methods that didn't work(yet), but I did a factory reset and I was still on the new 2AND3 firmware but my SE update was not present anymore. It was the original out of box SE. Just an FYI

Well this is new to a lot including myself who never had the S4 and is coming straight from the S3. Not to mention the S3 bootloader wasnt locked. I had WiFi turned off and never even configured it since I got it. I am now back on my S3 until i can get to a T-Mobile store.

Yea, it really looks like the Tmobile phone is the only way to go for now.

Learning the hard way with my S4 when the auto update appeared yesterday I declined it all day. I woke up this morning to find that the update applied itself in my sleep at 130am. I can't believe this crap.

AT&T Auto OTA Update
What's even more ridiculous is that this OTA update was simply to add two additional bloatware apps, Lookout Security and Yellow Pages, which the mothership had agreed to provide, but failed to include in the release...sigh...
Will likely wait it out another month or two, but will seriously be looking at the T-Mobile or other rootable alternative!

[Q] SM-910T vs SM-N910T3, What is the difference?

Can anyone provide a point-by-point difference between the two other than "SM-N910T3 is just better"?
I've seen the question asked a few times in previous threads, reddit but I have not seen anything conclusive.
Also it seems the initial question becomes a quick after thought because it quickly delves into rooting questions, which I do not care about at this point.
I get that SM-N910T3 has 5.1.1. but what else? Heck even if its a best guess I'd love to hear it here.
For now this is what I got from Reddit:
pomidorable 2 points 14 days ago said:
Samsung likely changed suppliers for one or more of the key components (likely a cost reduction measure for a phone that's about to go out of production in a few months), and as such the ROM had to be altered to support it.

For what it's worth I had the N910A (on AT&T) for about 9 months. The T3 seems much snappier. It has it's quirks though, the pen icon gets stuck on in the notification bar and so does the headphone icon.

So the n910t3 is the developers edition?

Learned something new.. I was just had a long text chat with samsung suppoprt... it looks like the n910t3 may be the developer edition? they checked a few IMEI numbers / serial numbers and confirmed my device was developer edition which may explain the model number difference and may explain the 5.1.1 while n910t is left at 5.0.1 for now. Samsung also confirmed that Tmo has 5.1.1 and it's up to them to decide when / if to deploy it.

That's what Samsung told me over chat too. I have the chat saved. The rep also said I could go into a store and specifically request one (though I don't think that's right). I wonder why they're selling them? Possibly a large shipment was ordered in error? I wonder what the difference is aside from having 5.1.1. I know on the ROM development side of things, everything is mostly compatible.
I had that suspicion though too; I asked if it was an internal developer edition meant for testing updates before they're released to the public, and the Samsung rep reassured me that's exactly what it was. I wonder why they're for sale though.

BAH! Who knows and who cares now I guess. I just got off the phone with Tmobile and they told me its just a software update. Then I found this article pretty much saying the same thing, from last month.

My phone completely died. Turn around was about a week and a day.

Ok so about the SM-N910T3 compared to my previous 910T and what I've accidentally...
Ok so a few things I've accidentally noticed about my T3.
First off, Had to get my Note 4 replaced by T-mobile 2 days ago, they said it was on backorder, so I get a brand new Note 4 direct from Samsung and then I realized the registration screens looked slightly different, so I went to the settings menu, I'm like "Something doesn't feel right" so then I found it, 5.1.1 which I tried updating my 910T 3 days ago, and wouldn't go beyond 5.0.1 THEN found out it was the N910T3 that i Had just gotten.
After careful review on my old NOTE 4 to still send back, the glass on the Note 4 curves down INTO the walls around the edge of the phone. about 0.5mm depth, on the SM-N910T3 it doesn't. It curves down, but almost PERFECTLY LEVEL to the edge walls., ALSO haven't gotten to try the GPS thing yet, but mine worked FAIRLY well always anyways.
The OTHER major thing I've noticed, and this is WITHOUT the battery, since a charged battery weighs slightly more than an uncharged one.
119g for the SM-N910T vs 123g for the SM-N910T3 == 4grams difference in weight? S-pen is the same, both with a sim card and microSD card, no battery. Hardware upgrade?

I said screw it in the end and ponied up to buy a new one. I swear to gawd every employee looked at me crossed eyed when I told them I didn't want to buy the Note 5.
I must have gotten the last normal note 4 then through warranty because that is what they sent me. I called Tmobile and tried to get it resolved but they told me to contact Samsung (I did) and they told me they were just going to fix my phone and I'd be without one for about 10 days.
As for differences I did notice the extra option at boot up too. My GPS seems to lock a lot faster. I will have to keep playing with it though to verify as I haven't had much time to go through it yet but I will say the Samsung Smart Switch was very nifty in getting my settings transferred over.

XP Automatically Resetting On Its Own

In the last few days I've noticed that when turning on my screen that I'm forced to put in my PIN, which it says it always does after a reboot/startup. But I didn't reboot the phone myself.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if this has anything to do with the Contacts app issue for int'l XP phones using a T-Mobile SIM card, or something else? It may just be that an app I have was malfunctioning (I did have issues with Chrome earlier right before this new auto reboot occurred), and that's what may have caused it.
Please let me know what you think. Also, PLEASE mention in your post which carrier you have, and also which region you got your phone from. For example, my int'l XP is from Hong Kong, so on the box there's a "ZH", which I guess is the Hong Kong version. You may also have an "HK" too. The Taiwan one says "TW" I believe.
Thanks!

Haven't experienced this issue. I'm using an x performance f8132 hk version.

I just experienced this for the first time yesterday. I updated Playstation Video, which now has the ability to download purchased content. I was downloading my movies to my SD card (35 of them) and the phone rebooted several times. It hasn't happened since. I'm on AT&T with a HK sourced device. I'm thinking this app update may have been causing my problem. I'll follow up in the next few days if I experience any other reboots.

Hey Augie,
Hmm ok. You might be right!
I thought it was because I was using one of those apps that lets you enable "Night Vision" for easier nighttime reading. Some kind of issue with the "screen overlay". So I disabled "screen overlay" for that app and SO FAR it's been fine. You wouldn't happen to have an app like that would you (i.e. Blue Light Filter For Eye Care, Lux, etc)??
I didn't use Playstation app. Just disabled it actually, so I don't know if your problem and mine was the same? Mine would just reboot randomly, never repeatedly over and over at the same time.
Yeah mine is from Hong Kong too. Says ZH on the side, but I believe someone on here said that's still China.
Yes please do. I will too on Monday.
Thanks!!

No screen overlays here. I've used the phone for all kinds of things today without replicating the problem. I'm guessing a certain amount of non-response time from something running triggers a reset. I'll report if it reoccurs.

Augie,
Ok. That's good. I had also cleared not all the caches for all my apps but the "preferences", which is a setting in Apps menu in Settings. Then I rebooted. Not sure if that helped but I think for me it was the Screen Overlay issue. But it COULD'VE also been Playstation for all I know? Then again, this had been happening for last 3-5 days, so if Playstation app update just came in yesterday, then I doubt it was that.
Thanks! Please do. I will too on Monday.

I have not experienced random reboots yet. They could happen from battery saving apps like 360 though

I uninstalled 360 from my phone several days ago as even though it worked on the Z5 and Z3 (and initially it SEEMED to work on my 1st XP), I can see it no longer is working on the XP, so it's not that.
Since clearing all the preferences on all the apps and also disabling the screen overlay on my one "night vision" app, the problem has so far not reoccurred any more (knock on wood!). I am trying out a different app very similar to 360 though on my phone called Hibernation Manager. I'm going to test it tonight/overnight to see how it does, and will report here tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath, but can't hurt to try it. Earlier today I gave it a good 2 hours and the percentage stayed the same during that time (100%), so there's potential I guess.
Update: Forget what I said above. See this updated post instead.

Not all updates are a positive step forward. If the phone does what it needs to for now, don't be in such a hurry. Wait for others to be the guinea pigs before you jump on board.
Seriously, being an upgrade junkie might be instantly gratifying at the time of downloading but it can also be a painful experience too.

But it's just a security patch. It didn't come with any of the fixes and improvements the unlocked version just got a couple of days ago. That's gotta be frustrating.

I noticed that's all it said. It was like 103mb though. Just for a security patch? Why push it out and waste time just having that without the camera fixes.

Received mine as well. Coming from an unlocked Pixel 3 XL, this makes me happy until I notice that it's only the April security patch. I thought OnePlus devices we're almost as fast as Pixel devices when it comes to updates? Also, when are we going to receive the camera update?

Same issue. I've rebooted, I've turned ambient display on and off, and still can't get it working. Double tap to wake isn't working either. Both were working perfect before the update. Thinking I might need to factory reset which I really don't want to do. Any other options I have?

It's because you bought the phone from T Mobile. If you bought the unlocked version from OnePlus you'd already have the camera updates. Might take a couple weeks before Tmobile get it and pushes it out.

tmo for the 6t has been out of date by a few months since the device came out. best option is to convert the device, which can be done.

You are correct. This is my first OnePlus so I was hesitant to purchase it outright through OnePlus.

So you are saying that the TMobile OnePlus 6t is out of date when compared to the unlock one?

I appreciate the response. I am debating on returning this device and continuing using my Pixel 3 XL. I know what I'm losing by going back to the Pixel but it's the little things that I miss from it. On top of that, now I am having ambient display and gesture issues with my device after the update. AND I do not have the camera update because T-Mobile.

You might as well hold off for a sec. Now that the MSM tool has been recovered, it's only a matter of time before a patched one is created for T-Mobile. Once that's done, you can convert your T-Mobile one to the International one and get the updates.
