Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.
Samsung pushed an app in an update that plastered ads for charities all over my lock screen. Disabled that shit and my next phone isn’t going to be a Samsung.
And that’s why you only buy phones where you can install a custom ROM, and then kick any poisonous bloatware and google shit off before starting to use it.

Info update request. What is the current/best/uptodate websites to go to in 2024 to see that list of devices?
Also to such a thing also exist for tablets?
Thanks in advance.
Check for LineageOS supported devices, that’s a good start. Some tablets can runubuntu touch, I believe.
my previous samsung TV plastered a huge Doom Eternal AD into my settings panel…
my new samsung TV is not connected to the net, lol.
My PLex, Yotutube, Netflix goes through my NVidia shield.
TV comes from a box through a HDMI cable.
and Playstation is playstation.
0 need to connect that shit to the net
Samsung Smart TV owner here. Connected to Internet for steam link and found out app is no longer available to download.
I realized then my fast input section at the home screen was replaced with TV apps and In order to change inputs, I had to go to another sub category instead of being able to do it from home
I reset the TV, connected to the Internet but did NOT agree to smart hub this time… Now my quick input selection is back
It’s awful that it got changed like that, was there no setting at all to change it back?
I have my TV on a VLAN that doesn’t have internet access. I don’t want it to be able to access the internet, but still want to be able to control it using Home Assistant.
This is so weird, I don’t see ads anywher-
remembers that NextDNS is installed
Oh. Right.
I'll literally never buy a Samsung phone again if these fuckers push ads to my device.
“Samsung so your going to go with Motorola? That’s what I thought,”
They know they have the android market share essentially cornered and can essentially do what they want
I’m desperately trying to find a new phone that isn’t a Samsung. I switched by force from LG to Samsung and even though the Samsung was 3 years newer, it was a downgrade.
It pushes so many notifications I have given up. I’m going to have to spend $1400 on a Sony just to retain my SD card slot and get rid of the bloatware.
Since starting my hunt, my garbage s20 is pushing so many s24 ads. Guess how many phones have an SD card slot and a FHD+ screen?
Nine. 4 of them are made by Sony.
I got a Samsung midrange with expandable storage and I’m realizing all those features the galaxy has exclusively I never used or cared for in the long term
Haha yeah I spent £200 on a Xiaomi something or another and it’s totally fine.
Samsung is like the Internet in the pop up ads days. Free yourself from that garbage.
This sort of thing is what keeps me away from Samsung phones.
Yeah, South Korea is awful. I don’t mean the people. They are getting the brunt of it, in fact.
Awful… Should be illegal.
I experienced this on my Galaxy Tab A7 (in India), a few years ago. Using Universal Android Debloater got rid of this.
I know this is completely unrelated, but I think I’d actually find it impossible to get to 11:50 in the day with only 7 steps. That’s a one way trip to the toilet…
One way to make me consider a different brand then.
I gave up on Samsung after the exploding phone thing. I got enough problems
YOUR PHONE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 10…9…8
I’ve been using the Galaxy A52s for a couple of years now. Never seen ads outside the Samsung apps. SEA region.
you consented to them while setting up the phone.
also prompt to enable them is only present in the us …
Is there a phone manufacturer that doesn’t use their devices to shove more ads in your face? Google pushing Google One or Apple’s preinstallwd watch app also come to mind
I use a pixel 7a running calyx os
Wow, first the tv now the phone, i’m not surprised when someone come saying their fridge and washing machine is doing this too.
U lazy. U more walk. U no get ads anymore. Samsung just discipline u.
lineageos
I don't know about how well it supports Korean language though.
I just use adguard’s DNS in my VPN on my phone.
Not justifying this in any way but the S9 hasn’t received security updates in ages. It’s the phone equivalent to still running Windows XP, it’s a major security risk. You should upgrade to some newer phone. Personally I like the Pixels since you can run GrapheneOS which definitely doesn’t have any ads and the newest models get updates for 7 years.
Hm ages seems to mean two years androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-march-2022… but fair point.
Two years worth of known security vulnerabilities is VERY significant. That’s literally hundereds of them, at least.
Wow. That would make me rage so hard. But I have has galaxy phones since the 6, on 21 ultra now. I’ve never seen an ad there.
Trash company, throw it on the pile with all the other ad companies.
I’m happy that I never connected my TV to the internet.
