Want to update an Android OS on your smartphone or tablet

If you've got an Android smartphone or tablet you're going to want to update it to the latest version to get all the latest features. Here's how to update the Android OS on your smartphone or tablet.

We all want the most up-to-date gadgets and therefore the most recent versions of the software that is available for them. Upgrading an Android device might take you to a newer version of the operating system like 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or 4.1 Jelly Bean bringing new features or enhancements for your smartphone or tablet.

Upgrades for Android devices are generally available over-the-air (OTA) which avoid the need for cables and a desktop PC. They also rolled out gradually and will depend on the manufacturer and mobile operator.

In general, you'll receive a notification telling you that an update is available but you can also manually check and upgrade your device manually.

The interface and possibly the process will vary between different devices, for example Samsung's Galaxy devices, but here's a one-size-fits-all guide to upgrading an Android smartphone or tablet.

Step One

As a precautionary measure it's good practice to back up your data such as contacts and photos. The upgrade should not affect your data but there is no guarantee.

Step Two

Navigate to the Setting menu of your device. On any Android device this can be done via the app menu. Typically the Setting app will have a cog or spanner logo.

Step Three

Scroll down the Setting menu a click on 'About Phone' or 'About Tablet'. This section of the menu will detail which version of Android your device is running.

Step Four

The menu can vary slightly from device to device but click the 'Software Update' or similar button.

Step Five

Your phone or tablet will now search for an available update. If you are taken to another menu, select the 'Software update check' button or similar.

If an update is available your device then you will be asked whether you wish to install it. If you select yes then the system will download and install the new software and reboot.

Note: You device may require a Wi-Fi connection to search for an update. We also recommend downloading the software over Wi-Fi because the file size can be large.

Install Windows 95/98/XP on an Android smartphone

Hello guys, Today i found a pretty awesome trick .. using this trick you make a cool impression on your friends .. yes that trick was installing a windows operating system like 98 n xp on your smartfone's ...





Some smart nerds at xda-developers just proved that they can install Windows 95/98/XP on an HTC EVO 3D.

That's right, a mobile device with an ARM-processor running x86 architectures software. It's a proof of concept and is by no means meant for daily use, but still, you can now win bets against all your non-techie friends when they don't believe you have Windows XP on your phone.
According to xda-developer member mnomaanw who posted the instructions for the install, "Windows 95 works great on my EVO 3D."

The build even manages to squeeze in HDMI out. Zing!

Not sure why you'd want a slow OS slowing down your smartphone, but hey, I don't judge. You do what you want with your Android phone. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, or you might end up with a borked phone. We won't be held responsible if you decide you need to try to play Minesweeper on the go...
