Stop Auto Updates!

[Onthefence]

I've looked online trying to find anything on stopping these updates but I'm having trouble if anyone has anything to stop the auto updates please let me know. I Love Samsung but this is getting infuriating

Auto updates are something you agreed to in the terms and conditions when you purchased your phone and or entered into a cell carrier contract. Unfortunately, there's no way to turn them off.

You cannot stop the automatic updates, they are compulsory and, as @Oxford said, you agreed to them when you accepted the TOS and EULA.

U can't ur going to get forced to have updates

[CEParsons]

Beyond what others have said about the fact that you agreed to updates in the TOS, updates are a good thing.

Yes, change can be difficult, but up-to-date security and continued/extended software support are very desirable things that Android phones lacked until recently.

Remove sim or dont have service

You have to disable all the auto update settings, and when the notification to update comes, then just ignore it, it will come some times during the day but you can ignore it indefinitely. Then just wait for an stable version to release and update.

That doesn't work either.  YOU CANNOT stop the updates.  It will install on it's on regardless of what auto update settings you turn off.  These are not the phones of the old days, UPDATES ARE MANDATORY.  And, also, betas don't download automatically so any update that comes down is the "stable" version.  That some updates glitch on some people's devices is due more to user action/inaction than the update itself.  The more you delay (if you can) intermediate updates, the more chance of the major update going awry.  Stop giving bad advice.

It worked for me for months, I installed an older version with Odin software and then disable the updates right after I install it, it worked for me for months, but I think you have to have a clear install,like do a factory reset first, or a data erase from the bootloader.

[CEParsons]

Even if you did manage to postpone updates for some period of time, doing so is ill-advised.

The idea that software updates ought to be avoided or are somehow detrimental is simply incorrect, not to mention dangerous from a security standpoint.
