This morning my Samsung S6 is displaying a request to install yet another software update,, this time "Version: G920FXXU5EQG7/G920FEVR5EQG1/G920FXXU5EQF1" "Size: 93.23 MB" . There is no information on what fixes and or enhancements are incuded in this update and no information to say who the authors (i.e. Samsung or Google or someone else) of this update are. The only options are Install Later, Install Overnight or Installl Now. There is no option to delete/dismiss the install. Interestingly, my wife who also has a Samsung S6 has not received any Software Update requests and is running on a much older version of the software. So why am I being targeted for this "update" ? Can I trust it ? - probably not, and where has it come from ? Samsung, Google or someone else ?

This new update sucks! Is there anything that can be done to change it back? I HATE this. I've had nothing but trouble since updating!

OMG! I wake up, an I'm forced to do the update whether I like it or not. Again. This time is keeps freezing up while I'm doing a text. Says the Samsung keyboard cannot connect. I have to go into the regular Apps Settings, and continuously choose the Swype keyboard. Then I have to go back to enter a text, click the Swype icon on the keyboard, and re-select the Swype keyboard as my Default! Guess the people who make up these ridiculous UPDATES for Samsung, work for Apple so as to convert us to Apple products!!?? Then I figured out that the culprit is when I select EMOTICONS. It sets things in motion and freezes my keyboard time after time. Now I have to either create chaos in my life, or un-learn a habit. Either way, I just would like an OPTION of NOT choosing their beloved and terrible Updates!!

This new update is terrible! It's taking perfectly spelled words & changing it to something completely different. It's taking clearly misspelled words & adding it into the memory as a new word! I want the old keyboard back & the old autocorrect.

AnonD-692685, 17 Aug 2017I was recently "requested" to update my Samsung S6 firmware... moreI absolutely agree. The new update is shocking. I have an extensive list of all the features I now no longer have. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

I was recently "requested" to update my Samsung S6 firmware and the result has been a disaster (there was no option to not do the update). WiFi calling no longer works and I normally use this a lot. Also, the phone now struggles to register to a usable mobile signal and when it does, it usually has to be rebooted before it is possible to use any mobile internet features. To say I am unhappy about this "update" would be a considerable understatement, it is a huge quantum leap backwards. For me, a mobile phone is not a toy, it is an essential tool for both domestic and work life. I want to go back to the previous version of the firmware. How do I do this? I doubt I'll be getting another Samsung phone after this.

The worst upgrade in the history of the world, it feels more like a downgrade than an upgrade the graphics are like something from the nineties I use to love using my phone now i hate the sight of it and I still have one year left of a two year contract left so stuck with this garbage now, I cannot even turn off predictive text which i hate,, used to love Samsung products not anymore very angry and upset now.

PhilH, 02 Aug 2017I don't usually bother to post comments or even read blogs,... moreCompletely agree my S6 has gone from absolutely fab to absolute rubbish in one update!
Had Samsung for years was all set to get S8 next month but after years of staying away from Apple I think this will push me to an iPhone :-(

Updated S6 today and am so so angry with the extremely poor looking result. It looks so cheap and nasty and is extremely difficult to find things that were so easy. World Clock and Alarms are a disaster. Is there any way you can uninstall an upgrade? This update was a HUGH mistake!!
