Updates
on Mobile Devices and Android Operating System
Even
though, I am a Linux Guru, I am not an expert on Android (based on
Linux base) devices or the operating system.
I
am still using KitKat old version.
I
have many cheap cellphones and a robust tablet bought in Singapore. I
was about to buy a Kindle but my sixth sense prevented me.
It works
perfectly but never connected to the Internet (virus issue).
There
are other operating systems including Java based (which I bought for our servants, without a basic knowledge in English).
KitKat
has done me service but with a limited RAM in many devices, its
resources are minimal and slow to install and operate.
First
requirement is a good wireless source.
Ideal
place is a hotel with foreign guests.
I
was caught up and restrained due to heavy downpour, I updated my
travel cellphone in three hours, sipping a Ceylon Coffee.
I
did not change to a new version but updated all my software
choker-blocked (SD card was full unto the brim) and deleted the
software I rarely used.
It has a Singapore SIM and it was left
dormant but got all my Singapore (one does not need to go there)
Software updated which I downloaded while waiting for my flight home
last time round.
Airport
has the best wireless connection.
I
tried to update my old rickety cellphone with pretty little RAM and
currently in its 14th hour of installation.
If
I changed the operating system either it will break my cellphone or
I won’t have an operating system running.
Do
not be a wreck by installing a new system which I think is Android 9.
My
only advice for you is buy a good SD card at least of 16 GiB and update your
software on an old android (5, 6 or 7 which you have in your phone).
Do
not follow the “whizzy kids” YouTube demonstrations to avoid you
becoming a nervous wreck at the end of the exercise.
