Try clearing the cache partition and see if that helps...
- First, turn the phone off.
- Press and hold the volume up key and power button simultaneously. Wait until the device vibrates or the Android logo appears, and release the power button. Keep holding the volume up key until the Recovery menu shows up.
- When the Recovery menu opens, use the volume keys to navigate. Press the volume down key to go to Wipe Cache Partition and press the power button to confirm.
- Scroll down and select reboot now

Other than messing around drawing stuff, I finally used it for a legit purpose yesterday...
Signed an online form to submit with a healthcare provider employer insurance reimbursement request.

Damn that sucks. Hop on a chat with Support and pace yourself for mindless questions until they come up with a solution or escalate to someone who has a clue 😉

Is wifi on? Try toggling between wifi and data and see if that works

Yeah I tried that too lol. They just told me to wait until the software update is actually available for my phone, lol. Even though I told them that I received the update but it just won't download.

Roll the dice (or play Samsung roulette lol) and open another support chat...

My phone is from T-Mobile because they gave me an insane deal. The ugly magenta colored splash screen has been driving me crazy so today I flashed the carrier free firmware and no more ugly T-Mobile screen now!

Right? Haha, I'm just hoping that I don't have to factory reset or something drastic in order to receive software updates.

I'd wait till later as well. And as a last resort, back up everything and do the dreaded factory reset.

I was able to update via Smart Switch. Real easy. Hope I don't have to do it that way every time lol.
PS. It actually took longer than I would have liked because good old Apple and their iTunes program decided to literally eat up my entire storage on my laptop. No clue how or why.
