Ever since i bought this phone in March, every update is installed Twice! - Once i update any security patch, next day same update is pushed and i have to update it again for the notification to disappear.
Due to this my Phones Motherboard already have been bricked once...
Now - A new patch have been released and i updated. Again today i am getting notification to update phone.
PLEASE ADVISE
So you've replaced the motherboard once I'm assuming? Maybe you should try downloading the last version of the firmware installed and try a clean install?

Noticed my phone tried to force an update today while working, caught it with 4min left. I know there are issues with unlocked phones and roms and updating so i wanted to get a thread up here to let people know.
Update will FORCE itself, latest deffered time is 2/5/12, 4am (est for me)
So this should be a warning to apply the update in some capicity before you end up looking at your phone stalling out in the middle of a forced update due to bootloader/roms.
Woke this morning to my phone in recovery, it had done something but the update didn't go through. Rebooted back to my unlocked Rezrom 1.5 , later it tried again but I deferred it.
Hi!
Today ICS for TPH (unbranded) was released according to @SamKiesUpdates and sort after I began receiving a update message from Software Update service asking to update (When I bought the phone I in my naiveness turn the options on on Settings->About->Software Update).
Software update never asked me for nothing and every time I did a check for update it said none until today.
My question is: Is there a way to stop it from asking? I can postpone the update up until 7 days but the icon saying that it was postponed stays nagging
Also does anyone know the download folder for the service in case it has download the ROM update?

Pretty simple...Go to settings-->about phone-->Software Update-->Uncheck Auto update and Push message option...Probably reboot if required.
And that should do it.
Don't forget to hit the thanks button if it helped.
Thanks for the tip, it helped but wasn't enough...
I had to go also to Settings->Applications->Manage Application->All->Software Update and do a Clear Data
Then I rebooted just to be sure... and it stopped
Please set it again and dont clear data.
I think they pulled the Android 10 update. I had the upgrade to Android 10 pending on my phone since it dropped. It randomly rebooted on its own while in my pocket (had to unlocked screen to complete boot). Fearing the worst I checked the OS version and found I was still on Android 9 with the November security update. When I check for updates, it says I'm up-to-date.
Did anyone else hold off on upgrading to Android 10 and found the update missing from their phone today?

Yep they pulled it.... I flashed back to Android 9 last night (due to wanting to install the Jan Sec patch) ...thinking I'd see the immediate update when returning back to the Android setup. I thought it was a fluke so I flashed again. Nope... they definitely pulled it.
I had to sideload the Android 10 OTA to install it via ADB.
Woke up this morning to my T-mobile S21 wanting to install a system update, so I said OK, then as usual after a few minutes was able to unlock and click on the "update successful" popup. Then, about 10 seconds after than, it said it was downloading a system update and wanted to install it, so I said OK again. It also appeared to be successful, and fortunately hasn't downloaded yet another system update this time. Did anyone else get two updates in one morning like this? The current installed kernel says Aug 31 as the date.
mine did that today, first one said it was from AUG 1 (650mb approx) and the second one said it was dated Sept 1 (200-250mb approx).... and both gave me only choice to delay 2 days then they would force install.... i hate TMO, and wish i would of gotten the U1 software installed while i still could....
Same thing just happened to mine. Didn't notice any ill effects, but it was weird. And, btw, I have the U1 software installed.
I bought this unlocked phone on ebay last December 2022 for a good price and it has worked great with a few issues. This time I can't seem to update the software even though it's old Android 11, UI 3.1 from 2021 and new software Android 13, UI 5.1 is available (looked at my son's S21+ last night). I tried to update in phone settings and says it's up to date. I tried with Smartswitch and there is no screen coming up that says an update is available. So from my research apparently I may have to flash new firmware with Oden and Frija, but this could brick my only phone, so I'm reluctant. I'm posting here to see if I'm missing something, or will I have to do the entire Oden/Frija procedure? If I leave my phone at Android 11 will my phone start having issues in the future with old software? That's my concern.
Thanks
I have the same problem. Maybe the solution is backup all data to samsung account and fresh reinstall a rom in the same version as the phone is to not lose data. After that the update via OTA should be released. But these are all guesses. I will test it on mine
