Skrivnosti hitrejših posodobitev za Android
Hitrejše pridobivanje posodobitev za Android je tako rekoč na vrhu seznama želja vseh, prav tam z boljšo življenjsko dobo baterije. Zato smo se danes odločili, da vam zaupamo nekaj majhnih skrivnosti, ki vam bodo pomagale do hitrejših posodobitev za Android.
Kako delujejo posodobitve za Android?
Preden gremo skozi metode, je pomembno, da si predstavljamo, kako delujejo posodobitve za Android, da se izognemo zanašanju na postopke, ki niso samo nepotrebni, temveč včasih celo škodljivi za vašo napravo.
Ko se v določeni državi začne uvajanje najnovejše posodobitve Androida za Pixel, sta pogosto izbrani Rusija in Poljska (verjetno imajo posodobitve raje nizke temperature!), po prvih 24–48 urah pa lahko doseže le 1 % zadevne naprave. Prav ste prebrali, samo 1%.
Razlog za to ni nenadna težava pri upravljanju, ampak zavestna izbira, nekakšna faza poravnave, med katero se analizirajo vse nastale težave, preden se preide na naslednje stopnje, v katerih bo posodobitev prispela na 25 %, 50 % in končno na 100 % naprav.
Celoten postopek traja nekaj tednov in če vaša naprava ne prejme posodobitve v prvi fazi, morate potrpežljivo počakati na drugo ali naslednjo fazo.
Situacija je nekoliko drugačna, ko gre za naprave drugih blagovnih znamk ali blagovnih znamk, ker bo morala posodobitev opraviti nadaljnje spremembe in optimizacije, odvisno od vmesnika, aplikacij in funkcij, ki jih želite implementirati, preden jo preizkusite, izdate operaterjem in nato razdelite širši javnosti (vključno z vami). Pot, ki ji sledite, bo nato: Google> blagovna znamka> operaterji> uradna izdaja.
Drugi dejavnik, ki vpliva na hitrost prejema posodobitve, je država, v kateri se nahajate:Samsung na primer posodobitve najprej objavi v baltskih državah. Skratka, vse kar morate storiti je, da počakate na svoj trenutek in ne pozabite, da preverjanje posodobitev, ki so na voljo v vašem Androidu, ni zelo uporabno, saj bo naprava preverjala prisotnost vsakih nekaj ur, v skladu z zgoraj razloženimi koraki, ne glede na število kolikokrat pritisnete namenski gumb.
NE POSKUSAJTE lažnega trika Google Services Framework
Ali ste tudi poskušali vsiliti posodobitve s sistematičnim ponastavitvijo podatkov Google Service Framework, da bi pospešili čas in takoj prejeli najnovejšo različico programske opreme v napravi Android? Ne skrbite, niste edini, ki ste iskali alternativno rešitev s čiščenjem podatkov v upanju, da boste prejeli posodobitev na Oreo ali Nougat v štirih in štirih'osem.

Na žalost pa je ta trik dejansko neuporaben in Dan Morrill, eden od znanih inženirjev pri Googlu, nam ga že nekaj časa poskuša razložiti. Deleting the data will not allow you to appear at the top of the list of devices waiting to be updated but, on the contrary, it may cause anomalies in the behavior of some apps.
Leave things as they are and don't clean up the Google Services Framework data, you could only make it worse and slow down the process as after deleting the data you will be assigned a new Google ID, sliding you to the end of the waiting list!
Should you factory reset your device before receiving the update?
A second common myth that needs busting is the mistaken belief that doing a factory reset of your device when an Android update is approaching will automatically get you the update faster. Resetting your smartphone will also automatically reset your Google ID and, once again, you will be sent back to the bottom of the list. The best thing to do is, in fact, the following:
- Make a backup of your data.
- Wait for the update notification and install it.
- Reset to factory settings.
- Perform a data recovery.

Choose a Pixel or an Android One device
If you really want faster and more frequent updates on Android, it’s good to consider devices that come with Android One or pure Android stock. Check out the article below to get more detailed information.
Google's own Pixel line, for example, are always the first to get the latest Android version, and this also applies to earlier Pixel models. So if you can't afford a smartphone from the Pixel 3 range, consider a Pixel 2 or even the original Pixel.
Devices with Android One, are also likely to get speedy updates. Some affordable devices like the Motorola Moto X4 or HTC U11 Life come with Android One. The new wave of Nokia smartphones also include many devices with Android One, including the Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6, Nokia 8.1 and Nokia 8 Sirocco.
With the purchase of a device signed Google you will also have access to the beta versions of the operating system to test with your own hands the news before everyone else!
Research your manufacturer
Being able to receive updates earlier than the others may not be a sufficient factor to push you in the direction of a Pixel, especially if you prefer the UI of a different manufacturer. Waiting times for Android updates vary greatly from brand to brand so, if speedy updates is an important factor for you, make sure that your next device must be produced by one of the best brands in this field. Many smaller companies launch only a few devices and have little or no concern about upgrading their products. These devices are often generic, with designs that are bought in China and are then resold in other countries.
And of course, these smaller companies may end up upgrading their smartphones, but the odds are always low. So go for brands like Sony, LG and Samsung, Xiaomi or OnePlus, which will provide some reassurance that you’ll receive an Android update.
Stay up to date with the latest flagships
It's a sad truth of the Android world:only the latest top of the range, cutting-edge and therefore expensive, are sure to receive the latest Android updates available. Low to mid-range smartphones, as well as tablets, are often left in oblivion and abandoned to their sad fate.
The best way to be sure to receive updates, and to receive them first, is to have in your pocket the latest top of the range of the moment, such as a Galaxy S10, or an LG G8, for example.
Take advantage of the upgrade options provided by your manager, buy a second-hand top of the range, if you have a limited budget available, but make sure you don't have a low-end device in your pocket if receiving Android updates quickly is your priority!
Don't buy from carriers
It’s sad, but true. Unfortunately, the devices sold by mobile carriers end up having an extra layer of difficulty when it comes to receiving system updates. Each time an update arrives on an unlocked device, it will need to go through another round of testing to incorporate carrier apps, system settings, and possible functions. This isn't always the case, as for example, you may remember that the Galaxy Note 8 received Oreo on carrier versions slightly earlier. But nonetheless, it's still a good rule of thumb. Just don't forget to research the manufacturer's history as noted above.

- Will your smartphone get Android Q?
The articles above will tell you which devices will get an update to Android P and Q, but what you really need to know is that in the end, the same model of a device may end up not getting an update from its operator, even if the unlocked version receives an update. It is therefore best to avoid any doubt and purchase the device unlocked.
Do it yourself...with the right tutorials
As you probably know, every single brand hides procedures that allow you to force the update on your devices. The first thing to do is to know if your smartphone or tablet is entitled to the update and then find out how and when to get it:
