Forced Updates, Why?
I want to know why we are being forced to update our phones every month. I am tired of having to update it and then go without my phone because I cant recieve phones for 5 days because of the upd...
For various reasons, I often use Bluetooth to transfer files and data between my PC and Samsung S8+ phone. (In situations, where USB or Wifi is not an option.) Anyway, recently I received a forced update from T-Mobile, which crippled my phones's Bluetooth capabilities, so the phone can no longer make a Bluetooth connection to the PC. Also the Bluetooth tethering option has been disabled / removed. I tried doing a factory reset, and removed the T-Mobile SIM card, but the Bluetooth tethering option is still not available.
So I have 3 questions:
Is there some way to re-flash the phone with the original OS, and restore Bluetooth functionality, or is my phone permanently ruined?
If I switch to a different carrier, which one can be trusted not to send crippling updates to my phone?
Can I sue T-Mobile for crippling my phone?
