Someone on reddit [0] mentioned that they updated their device via USB and hadn't encountered any issues.
If that's true, then it might actually have been the previous firmware update that silently bricked the device.
Or maybe Samsung only test in a controlled lab environment without real world signal interference.
In any case, it's mind boggling how a multi billion dollar company lacks proper rollout strategies.
I have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, and their app constantly tells me to install the latest firmware update.
After the 20th time I finally agreed - only to be met with the update instructions:
I must perform the update in a place with no other bluetooth or
wifi devices.
Where on earth would I even have to go to find a place without there being any 2.4Ghz signal interference?
I've never been more careful when pressing “Cancel,” making sure I don't accidentally tap “Agree and Continue”.
