And you won't like the only workaround available at this point.

notafanboy, 04 Oct 2024Pretty sure "SmartThings" is a Samsung app. &quo... moreI'm not too sure but I think SmartThings is installed by default or something. If not, then you're basically forced to do it IF you have a Samsung TWS, watch OR TV. I think the app is really cool but man oh man, Samsung one-upped themselves in terms of laziness, shadiness, and sheer stupidity this time.

    Cyberchum, 04 Oct 2024How about you buy phones that receives 0 or 1 OS update and... morePretty sure "SmartThings" is a Samsung app.
    "A number of Samsung smartphones, namely the Galaxy M51, Galaxy A90, Galaxy S10 Lite, S10e, S10, S10+, S10 5G, Note10, Note10+ and Note10+ 5G, are affected by a serious software error. The trigger appears to be a software update of the SmartThings Framework. Following the update, the smartphone becomes unusable due to being stuck in a boot loop. It is not yet entirely clear whether the problem has been fully resolved, but an updated version of the software update is apparently being rolled out. "

        Something else; an advice for android users: do yourself a favor and disable automatic updates for apps and system. You should be in control of what you update and when.
        These silly machines have a mind of their own, more and more, but what you are able to control, do it!

          Crow1313, 04 Oct 2024Just like I'm using mine right now. :) ...but just ... moresadly, it won't matter in this case, you'd need a new mobo, unless you're talking cloud saving or google drive.

            This is Samsung telling you to buy a new phone for their Q-whatever number sales figures to go up. Yes, buy a new phone but not from Samsung. Such a scam.

                              Super

                                OS update or System App Update, doesn't matter, when it comes to such a huge company that can't even bothered to test even the smallest update before pushing it out, even though they are so committed to 7 years of software support now. Pathetic.

                                  Oh no... they're forcing people who still use S10 series to buy s24 series.

                                    Heeey its samsung so hope you did not expect something else.
                                    Be like me swap your phone every 2 years when the warranty for it ends sell it and buy new device problem solved.

                                      ...but just in case, I did a backup of my files.

                                        The only update I am seeing on my Galaxy S10+ is from March 2023 and I still have not downloaded nor installed it... Is there something newer? I thought the 2019 phones were already no longer receiving updates...
