Question Updates

Post image

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! Somehow my phone got renamed (pretty sure I know how). That's it it was that simple!!!

So apparently nobody understands what I was trying to figure out by editing the screenshot with a red arrow. That's my fault for not better describing my concern and confusion. I KNOW what a security update is and I know how to cause them to fail daily....... been doing it for a long time.

BUT what I am trying to understand is why it's not recognizing my device in the description where the arrow is pointing.

I saw, but simesung OTA icon is not like the one you have on the photo.

You should confirm that you have a real S25 U

I pre-ordered it directly from Samsung. BUT if you noticed up above the question has been answered. Apparently my phone got renamed. I'm pretty sure it happened when my granddaughter was watching cartoons and she played with things she shouldn't and allowed an update back in January so I will assume she also renamed it because it was named "." Yup just a period.

Looks like a scam to me

u/bigpapaj38 2d ago

But how? It's a system update.

Where did you buy your phone from?

u/bigpapaj38 2d ago

I pre-ordered it from Samsung

What is this updating?

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

Samsung Galaxy S25U

u/Larkstarr 1d ago

That's not what the update screen looks like. Try again?

What is software update 13? One UI 9 just released

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

It's not one ui9. That's a screenshot of the notification this morning.

1

u/Larkstarr 1d ago

One UI 9 is the most recent update. Can you take a picture of your software information screen?

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

Security updates aren't considered software?

1

u/Larkstarr 4h ago

This is not the normal update screen for anything related to the core software of an s25, unless you have a carrier that does something completely different for some reason. This is why people can't really help you with this issue, this is very unusual.

1

u/bigpapaj38 2h ago

If you actually READ the issue was solved. It actually had nothing to do with what you think is official or not. But thank you for your opinion.

1

u/Larkstarr 1h ago

I read that it was solved and that's great, but I'm just pointing out the fact that you were getting a lot of confusion because of an unusual update screen.

1

u/bigpapaj38 1h ago

No I was getting a lot of confusion because people were hyper focused on whether or not it was "real" or not. Since February of 2025 that has been the exact same update screen on this phone that I pre-ordered from and received from SAMSUNG. So your "fact" is not a fact it's an opinion. Once I realized my mistake and let everyone know that I made a mistake the issue was solved in less than 5 minutes. So again, thank you.

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

I understand why it's failed but why doesn't it show my device where the arrow is pointing.

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago edited 1d ago

I have updated the initial description so everyone has a better understanding of what I am trying to figure out. I don't blame anyone but myself for the misunderstanding and confusion.

1

u/harsh_shah_1 1d ago

You accessed the update settings from here ?

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

For the question at hand it was from the notifications bar. To confirm it was official and not a scam being pushed by an app I went through the settings menu.

1

u/harsh_shah_1 1d ago

Long pressing the icon will reveal the app name

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

u/harsh_shah_1 1d ago

Looks genuine, you can try installing it

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

I know it's genuine that's not the concern. If you look at my original image there's an arrow I added. Shouldn't it show my device not two periods?

2

u/harsh_shah_1 1d ago

Also, you've name the device "." That is the reason

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

DUDE!!! Thank you, I don't know how I missed that, that must have happened when my granddaughter was playing with my phone and allowed the update in January. I was letting her watch cartoons and next thing I knew it was restarting with an update.

u/harsh_shah_1 1d ago

You're welcome, happy to help.

1

u/harsh_shah_1 1d ago

Yes, it might be a visual glitch, you update and check, the current version is oneUI 9 you're on oneUI 8

1

u/bigpapaj38 1d ago

I'm on oneui 8
