Android is one of the most common.operating systems specifically designed for mobile phones, smartphones and tablets. Now it is used by almost all manufacturers of this technology. Any operating system is periodically improved and improved, its individual parts are optimized. Such fixes and improvements are an update of Android.
You can check for improvements yourself.To do this, go to "Settings", find there the item "Software Update" and view the opened update settings. To check if a new version has been released, click the Update button.
In fact, the Android update is the right thing andgood, so you should not treat this with suspicion or skepticism. As a rule, improvements make use of the device more comfortable and fast.
Android Update is available in micro andmacroscale. Minor improvements have a volume of up to 100 MB and are designed for individual parts of the system. They are small patches, eliminating minor issues that the user can even be invisible. The purpose of such micro actions is to improve and stabilize the operation of the phone or tablet.
And larger innovations "weigh" about 500MB and affect the entire device entirely. In fact, there is a small change in the OS version. Such a large-scale software update Android can change the appearance of the system, making it easier and more concise.
If your device does not have permissionreceive updates by default, each time a dialog box will appear with a notification and a suggestion to install something new. You can postpone the download and installation for some time (from half an hour to two hours) or refuse to upgrade at all.
If you select “Install”, the system will setnotification that the device will be rebooted. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to close all running applications and save the necessary information, otherwise it will simply be lost. Immediately after the notification, the device turns off, the screen goes out. After a couple of seconds, the image of the characteristic android robot appears on it, and at the bottom of the screen you will see the progress of the update process in percent. On average, an Android update takes from 5 to 20 minutes, after which a reboot occurs.
When the device turns back on, itoptimized applications to work correctly with installed updates. The screen displays the number of such applications. After this last action, a notification about the successful update of the device appears. It is recommended to restart it so that all programs start working normally.
As a rule, no.After the upgrade, some applications that are not compatible with the new version or individual icons from the Desktop may disappear (for the same reason). Occurs and the emergence of new programs in the device, which will then be impossible to remove - this is provided by the developers.
As a rule, problems arise only ifAndroid firmware was performed independently or unofficial software versions were used. And the guarantee for the same reason is lost, so a lot of money will have to be spent on returning the device to life.
How to return the old version
When you don't like the updates received, thenthere is a natural desire to “return, as it was.” But, alas, this possibility is not provided. Unless it comes to your mind to manually change the firmware, but it is better not to do this. Why? See previous section. It’s better to once again look at the new version of the OS - perhaps you are not used to it yet, and in a couple of days you will love all the changes.
