I do this with an old samsung phone I have, but I can't do updates on it, because on that model samsung included an overlay with ads along with the updates.

So I see ads (even videos!) instead of my simple html page, or on top of it. It's terrible!



Are you sure this came from a Samsung update? I've been a Samsung phone user for over a decade and never saw such behavior.


Yeah. Samsung update.

I just factory reset, then if I do the system updates from the control panel they come back. It's reproducible.

I don't install any app since I really only need the browser to display an html page from a server on my LAN.


Which Samsung model is it? S models never did that.

Can't be too old as you are still getting updates.


s5 mini.

I don't think it gets new updates, but it downloads up to the last update that they put out.
