Makes sense. If the seller wiped a four-year-old phone back to original condition, that could be a lot of updates! Especially if there isn't one large cumulative download. I'm up to #50 now - is there any way to know when this stops?

So I just installed Security Update software update 49 (instead of waiting two more days). After installing, I see: -- Software Update Status >> Your phone has been updated to the latest software version -- Security and privacy >> Updates >> Security update: July 1, 2024 (green checkmark) --...

I bought a used "unlocked" S20 FE 5g (upgrading from my S8). It's on Verizon about a week now. Literally every other day I get a "security update will install on" notification. And the morning after the installation, my phone is not restarted until I wake it up. When I check my phone...

Apparently not. I can delete the complete "circle of apps" (the one with six places for apps - I have phone, health, messages, and alarms there, and would be okay with deleting all but the phone!). And I can delete the phone from this circle. But I can't press and hold and drag to a new screen...

I actually just got mine - one of my kids got a new S3 and gave me their S2. I'm enjoying it! A bit of a learning curve to set it up, but most stuff is here or on YouTube.

I've got Android version 5.0.1. I don't have the three dots in my stock SMS app. I don't have any options to not show email addresses. I can't find any way to turn off option for "Create contacts for autocomplete." Seems like every time they "update" something, they remove more of our...

Thanks for chiming in, Golfdriver97, but I don't know if that's the info I needed. That page is talking about Chrome, and I'm not using Chrome. Just the stock "blue earth" Internet icon on the bottom.

I just recently purchased a Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545, on Verizon) to upgrade from my S3. The S4 is running Android 5.0.1. On the S3, I was able to find the settings to stop the Google browser from saving every search entry. I can't seem to find those settings on the S4?? I've logged into my Google...
