Love Me phone case

[DirtyMark]

My wife has a Samsung Note 10+. She decided to change her case & went on Amazon & purchased a Love Me case. Looked good, had screws to put case together, no screen cover, but I figured I would get separate temper glass screen protector. Case came in & I installed phone into case. Strange thing, once I had case on, a notice on the screen came up offering to change my OS system!? WTF. Any comments or thoughts about this? Have I invited the CCP into our life? I did not choose to change, but if this is some micro tech in the case, I'm hard press to believe a chose was an option.

Can you get a screen capture of what it's suggesting to install? Or at least the name of the OS or Home Screen?

It looks like the case supports wireless charging, so I wonder if there's a simple NFC tag that activates the suggestion when you first put on the case. I looked a bit and don't see anyone else mentioning it... what's the Amazon seller name? Maybe it's something they add to the case as a 3rd party intermediary to try to generate extra revenue?

Pretty curious about this. Very weird. Aside from the weirdness, do you like the case?

No I didn't get a screen shot. There was no name of the OS it was referencing. Seller: Bpowe Technology Co LTD. As for liking the case, yes I do. We don't mind the 'large' appearance. I still have to get a screen cover. I read on a nother post where person bought Love Me case for a Samsung phone & says the case cause the temper glass protector to crack once case installed. His post did not mention the oddity I mentioned, but his point about damaging the screen protector caught me eye with a Love Me case.

Strange things can happen if a case is too tight.

...or it could be one of the things Rob mentioned.

Had a Love Mei case on my LG V40 since day one. Never had any strange messages pop up because of it. The case is supposed to be able to support wireless charging but I've never used it.

I can't imagine anything about a case that would give an OS change option. Perhaps an inadvertent combination of side buttons were pushed during the case installation caused the screen that was seen.

Are you sure it wasn't a security update, Android upgrade notice, or a pop up ad from an app or browser that happened to show right after you put the case on?

That is a possibility, but even if so, how would pushing buttons generate an option to change OS system?

It's kind of like, we had a person post that he would get random phantom beeps on his phone. He took his case off and the phantom beeps stopped. Some how pressure on the volume control. power button and/or the phone body was causing the phantom beeps

I know of nothing that would prompt an OS change. Being as the phone was on during installation, the possibility that a combination of inadvertent button pushes just came to mind as a possibility.

are you sure it asked to change the os? i have never come across anything that would ask that.....not even on a rooted phone.

Yes. Sounded weird to me also. Gave me a voice to keep my original OS or change to whatever they were pushing ( which they gave no clue to that).
