How to upgrade your android version to the Latest version 6.0

Why Upgrade my android device?

Using the latest android version helps you to get the best out of your android device. By upgrading you get better quality performance from your android or tablet in every area concerned.

How to update Android phone or tablet: Step-by-step guide - How to check whether your Android device is up to date

The first step in upgrading is to check if you smart phone has not automatically updated itself by knowing if your already using the latest version on it. This screen will have a section called 'Android version'. If it doesn't, click 'Software information' to find out.
The latest version is Android 6 Marshmallow, which will gradually become available for more and more devices over the coming months. Lollipop is 5.x, and KitKat is version 4.4.x, with 4.3, 4.2 and 4.1 all coming under the codename name Jelly Bean.
If your device is running anything lower than Jelly Bean, unless you have simply never updated its software it's very unlikely that an update for Marshmallow or KitKat will be available for it (the manufacturer doesn't appear to support this device any longer).

 

Steps to take in updating your smart phone or tablet

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 are no guarantees.
Navigate to the Setting menu of your device. On most Android devices this can be done via the app menu or notification bar. Typically the Setting app will have a cog or spanner logo.

Scroll down the Settings menu and click on 'About Phone' or 'About Tablet'. If you have a tabbed settings menu then this will appear in the 'general' section.

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

Inside project Ara: Google plans to disrupt the smartphone market, releasing a "lego-like" phone

Ara and Google plans to disrupt the smartphone market by unleashing a "lego-like" phone that lets you swap in interchangeable parts to get new abilities.   The Phone You Can Truly Customize  In the three years since work first started on Ara, the modular phone has always seemed like a pipe dream, and Google has always treated it that way. It's been part of the company's ATAP division -- Advanced Technologies and Products -- a skunkworks explicitly tasked with turning such fantasies, like sensors you can swallow, into consumer reality. Advantages of Ara  When the Project Ara Developer Edition ships this fall, it will come with four modules to start: a speaker, a camera, an E-Ink display (like the one you'd find on an Amazon Kindle e-reader) and an expanded memory module. Those might not sound all that exciting, but they're all things that even high-end smartphones don't necessarily do well. And with Ara, you're not limite...

Cloaking devices are very real!!!

Image
Science fiction was once the only place cloaking devices existed, on a Klingon ship in Star Trek or as a literal cloak in Harry Potter. Now science has managed to make them a reality. While we can't yet don an item of clothing that will make us entirely invisible, there are more options. Scientists have come up with all sorts of complicated cloaking devices, presumably with plenty of military funding. Some are more simple and can even be made at home for cheap. We've rounded up the best cloaking discoveries science has on offer. Lens cloaking Scientists at the University of Rochester have come up with a lens array system that's able to make anything in its path invisible to the human eye . The cloaking system uses lenses  which bend light rather than allowing it to travel in a straight line. This means that anything placeed in between the lenses can no longer be seen. And the best part is you can make it yourself for about £60. A real world example giv...

The new delivery system: Drones!?!

Image
These are the few questions usually asked by people;   Is this science fiction or is this real? It may look like science fiction today but soon, you will be seeing this delivery drones in the air. Many of you will think of it as fake but I assure you it's completely real and will be effective soon enough. How does it work? This technology is a future service that will deliver packages up to five pounds in 30 minutes or less using small drones. Flying under 400 feet and weighing less than 55 pounds, the drones makes use of various sensors to "sense and avoid" obstacle, as well as a high degree of automation, to safely operate beyond the line of sight to distances of 10 miles or more.   How are you going to ensure safety? Being already tested and tried by the companies that offer the use of this drones like; Amazon, Walmart,...  it would seem that the technology is "quite" safe and on still on further research google X says. But like I said e...
