It's a whole whopping 180 megabytes and I can find no way to over-ride this limitation. Very irritating as the phone has become a wonky piece of shit constantly dying on the charger claiming it "detected water in the charging port" despite the fact that the phone has never been exposed to undue moisture or humidity, and I am hoping this update fixes their fuck up.
My SOLE source of internet which I use for about 200 gigs of data a month but you cool dudes wont let me download one little update. Samsung S8 is a piece of shit, get a bargain phone these suck ass.

i get this similar thing often when i go to use my phone where its on the screen asking 'check for updates?' yet doesn't offer me any other option but yes, can't cancel it or anything. then it starts to check for updates for about a minute then comes back saying some shit about failed because of lack of disk space or some bollocks. all the while i'm trying to make a fucking phone call or summing and i gotta wait for this dumb shit of a phone to go through these same motions every time with the same results every fucking time. touch screen phones and tablets are so fucking gay, this is why i fucking hate them so much. give me a laptop any day of the week.

Use WiFi.
I'm sure you can find one somewhere.

None of my errands have wifi. Ill probably go park at macdonalds and see if I can use theirs without a PW.
I don't like them assuming everyone is just going to have easy access to wifi. And why can I allow my other applications to download updates over cellular data but samsung gets their own rules... And I wouldn't even know to care if the phone wasn't acting up in the first place. Do other android phones or iphones do the same thing?

The update will only fuck your phone up even worse.

Same thing happened to my friend. Clean the phone including the free space and make sure the battery is at full charge. Mobile data is probably being throttled or the towers in your area are overloaded...so use a high speed WiFi instead and if it doesn't work do a factory reset with full update. Your phone should be up to Android 7 and also Samsung software higher than 7 also. If lower and you weren't getting updates it could be corrupted. If it still won't work again do a factory reset and get someone to root and flash it by also removing all the unnecessary crap.

Fuck this is so dumb I connected to gym wifi and it updates then wants tl download a bigger one so i put it on the grocery store wifi and it updates again amd wants more more more. Mail me it on an sd card you cocksuckets . Or you know like just allow me to DL it like every other app and update.now im driving around all these parking lots trying to find something with open wifi

2 updates complete and it still is gaslighting me saying i got the phone wet. i go to barnes and nobles and park up front where i get a wifi signal and stare in at the workers while it tells me its got the most current shit then i leave and it says oh theres another 1.5gig thing i need.
i don't have anything to try to clean the port out, i took a breadbag tie and its too fat with the plastic so i ripped the plastic back where its just the small steel wire, i scooped around for lint and dust but theres not much of anything in the port and i don't want to go over the contacts with any force and fuck off the plating on them cause apparently its already bullshit. i tried oem cords and chargers and its all BULLSHIT. one of my long aftermarket cords i like to use has a gimicky ass led light on the end which makes it get pretty hot so if anything that should have dried any moisture out.
i'm really thinking of making a youtube video of smashing it with a sledgehammer and trying a different brand next time. "gorilla glass" give me a fucking break ( cuz i already have a bunch of cracks and chips on this turdass phone)! i could cut out a phone shaped piece of tempered window glass and it would be more durable than this weak ass piece of dogshit.
the thing was sold as an "unlocked" model so it shouldn't have some kind of built in allegiance to the carriers ,trying to save them from data usage on updates or something...

Depending n when the unit got wet the rice trick may work or using pressurized air to clean the ports. Remove the back using a warm air blower and if the battery can't be removed it may be dying or losing power. If a factory reset doesn't work make a video and blame Samsung.

It never got wet in the first place unless humidity from my legsweat through my pocket killed the thing. It's supposed to be under manufacturers warranty but the nearest authorized repair center says they can't fix it as a warranty claim because the screen is damaged. Well the screen replacement is over 200 bux and I don't think I'm gonna dump that into something which is already acting like a finicky piece of SHIT.
I think I'm gonna just put it in the toaster oven then slice it up on a cutting wheel if it doesn't feel like taking a charge. Can anyone tell me a phone model that isn't a overhyped piece of shit? My last one was a Huawei Ascend Mate 2 which was pretty trouble free but started to show it's age performance wise.

That would do it Bro...cracked or broken seal would allow moisture in. Still not sure with an SS ...before you thrash it do a factory reset and hopefully it will work with full battery. Also some Apps could be causing issues...so worth a try. Good luck.
2018-06-16 at 5:49 PM UTC
Yeah I will reset it but I was putting it off because I will probably have to go sit at a coffee shop for 14 f&*cking hours and let it reinstall updates again. That sounds extremely fragile if a cracked screen is gonna let non condensing humidity destroy the thing..... I am really let down and thru with these Samsung cocksuckers. I'll reset the thing and let you know after I make sure all my shits on the memory card.
2018-06-16 at 5:50 PM UTC
Oh I just thought of something, maybe I can use the phone as a USB tether for my laptop , and then use windows internet connection sharing to share the phones data connection back to the phone over wifi lmfao.

if your using a smartphone and it wasnt / hasnt been rooted and custom rom installed,
your using it wrong.
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this

Too bad Bro...usually they are good phones. Still the seal may not be damaged and the software may be fucked. You have an Android that has to mesh with the SS software and if corrupt everything is off. Resetting usually works and just using basic software with no unnecessary Apps. Some used shops may buy it for parts or give you a little credit for a new unlocked one in the store.

Some apps will let you store stuff to free up your phone.
