Some parts of this price ecosystem would have looked different if Samsung had decided to straighten up their act and not shovel out crapware, adware, and nagware with their so called "Updates" for their lower end phones. It's a lost opportunity for Samsung.
Apple gets to do this because their devices seem safer, easier, and faster to use right now.
- MaxikCZ 5y agoI bought samsung earbuds. They worked flawlessly. From time to time, a software update comes. Every single time I look into change log only to read "Improved stability and security". Few updates ago, when I took out my buds, only one was playing. Till today I need to disconnect and connect my buds to make them both work. If only they would just leave the things as they were, or gave me option to rollback.. So much for "Improved stability and security" I guess. I'll never buy a Samsung headphones again.
- hutzlibu 5y agoOh, just be happy they do not have (yet) updated to integrate advertisement into them.
- Bouncingsoul1 5y agoIf these are Bluetooth LE devices they surely integrated advertisement, it just means something different in this context and could actually explain the technical problem which the parent had.

- kalleboo 5y agoTBF, I had similar issues with only one ear connecting with my AirPods (gen1). The only difference is the software updates are silent and happen in the background with zero update notes.
