Got that wrong. Samsung marketing certainly didn't instruct me to sign
in with fake credentials. But the fake credentials did give me access
to the Samsung Store which I didn't have before. However so far I've
not seen anything I need or that I haven't already gotten from the
(gasp) Google Play Store. Scary, huh Arlen... 8-O
Ah, perhaps that is the answer to my question. Perhaps I created an
account to access the Samsung store. I am using the Samsung phone app
because it is the only way to switch on wifi calling (that I know
about). I guess without a Samsung account, Samsung apps won't ever be
updated.
Samsung should decide what they want to do, replace google or leave it
to google, it's a bit half-way house at the moment. The store quite
often says there are updates and then says it cannot update because the
apps are from google. So why bother to notify?
