Forced Updates, Why?

The updates themselves are annoying every 2 weeks or so. But it's not so much the updates that are annoying as it is everything in the phone. Everytime they update the software, they change things around unnecessarily so I pretty much have to do research to figure out my own phone again. 

So, do the updates but quit changing everything around unnecessarily. Can't we petition for that as we are the customer paying for this service...or do we  really have a say, other than leaving tmobile and going to someone else that's just doing the same thing. Corporations really do own us and we do nothing about anything because we are too lazy and it's inconvenient. I'm not generally like this but idk any other service to go to as I'm sure they all do the same. Probably even prepaid. We never own anything. Everything owns us and I'm really tired of it. I know ...TMI

if its physical things changing on your device that came with the device then that is on the OEM..any carrier requested changes would be for things like network connections and not so much for things like dark mode or changes to how things are listed out on a device compared to the previous update etc.

I don't think you understand what I mean. Everytime thres an update, the whole look of my phone changes. Sometimes they move things around and I have to find them. These things change everytime there an update. Ivcan see updating security issues and glitches but I'm tired of my phone looking different and things changing, I have to iearn how to navigate all over again

welcome to the wild world of smart phones? again these type of decisions are made by the OEM and not the carrier.

I have the same issue! I am sick of T mobile updates on my samsung phone and I cannot stop them. And it's just T mobile, my friend with he same phone and different carrier does not have this problem

Sometimes I go to YouTube and check out any new videos regarding my phone and how to stop getting the updates that are forced upon us my phone does what it originally did I have a Galaxy S10 Plus by Samsung and I love this phone I don't want a new one I'm not working anymore if I don't update soon it'll force me to and funny things start happening that should not be on my phone

I have loved T-Mobile, since I switched in December.  But this issue is beyond pi$$ing me off.  

The updates occur around 6:00 p.m. for me, often when I am in my vehicle and just turned it off, disconnecting from Android Auto (I've noticed this trendline).  I am not at home.  I am not connected to WifFi.  And sometimes, I  am in places service is already spotty.  

I find my phone is often useless for over 20 minutes.  At least with ATT I could approve when the update occurred.  T-Mobile gives zero F's about the users having input into this, and does not consider the consequences if people lose connection at a very bad time.

If this crap continues, I will switch carriers.
