My Samsung phone once bricked itself with a forced update. That was fun.
It also downloads updates totally unprompted overnight and gives me a non-dismissable notification about it. I also get toasts at random intervals demanding I restart immediately for the 15 minute update process.
It lets me defer the update for anywhere between 5 and 9 hours before rebooting with no warning and leaving me with a dead phone for 15 minutes.
Absolutely no way to stop it or disable updates. I've gone so far as trying to MiTM the network traffic and blocking the IP it connects to, but it seems to use different addresses sometimes.
I'm never buying a Samsung device again. For that matter, I'm never buying a phone that I can't control.
Not a fan of some corporation remotely bricking my phone with no warning.
