I dont want to upgrade to the new software, but every time I turn on WiFi, it automatically starts downloading.
How do I prevent that?
The same exact thing happened to me when I upgraded to Lollipop about a month ago. I just left my WIFI off until I read through the forums. Luckily I haven't had a single issue with the update as my battery life is increased and my phone is noticeably faster.
I know on a AT&T Note 4 there is no way to stop automatic updates without tripping Knox and I wasn't going to do that. It's a shame too because you shouldn't be forced to update your software if you don't want to.
Most of the horror stories are because people refuse to clear their system cache or do a factory reset. I didn't have issues before I did both but I did it anyway.
