Has anyone got the T-Mobile update yet? I keep getting a notification that Samsung will begin rolling it out on December 19th, but I haven't got the actual update yet.

I did the previously listed methods to hopefully prevent the update (the package disabler apps) but I haven't done the app made by this forum yet. I don't have enough posts yet, and I'm wondering if I even need to anyway, if it does anything that the previously recommended package disabler apps don't do..

Anyway, has anyone heard of or seen reports that T-Mobile is rolling out the latest update yet? Or does anyone know when T-Mobile will start rolling it out? I currently have the green battery icon and want to keep using my phone.

We definitely recommend using the sheild. It's more secure than other disabler apps in regards to the note 7. Which is why it was created. If you choose to switch, just follow the tutorial on how to do so. Keep it in airplane mode. And, worst case scenario you get hit with the 0% update in the process. We have had success in rolling back tmobile. So there's always that going for ya too. Kind of an extra assurance.

So people are actually getting the 0% update on T-Mobile already? How long has that been going on?

This is the update that limits the battery to 0% and prevents the radios from being used? The one that basically turns your phone into a brick?

I had no idea the update was actually rolling out already. Sooooo glad I found this site!!!

Oh yeah, another question.. If I install the shield app on my phone and my girl's phone, does she need 5 posts here too or just me?
