My phone (S23, ~2 years old, unlocked, Red Pocket service which is an offshoot of AT&T) updates itself at every software update. Last time I went into the developer mode and changed it according to forum and reddit posts, but today it still updated itself. It's frustrating because it will do it while I'm using the phone, like once I was waiting for a Lyft in another country and it restarted itself to update which was a huge problem, and again it restarted itself to update while I was using my maps to navigate in a city I'd never been before. It's not even really about the update itself but my autonomy over the phone I paid for and paid to unlock - it's mine and if I want out of date software, that's on me. I want to update it when I have the time to, not just whenever it wants me to. So besides developer mode, which doesn't seem to have worked, is there a way to turn this off? And if not, can I submit a complaint about it to an actual Samsung representative?
