Last Week when the latest Nexus
device (Nexus 7) extract the latest Android 4.1.2 update in the air, it
promised the same treat for other Nexus brothers. If you haven’t been in the “rolled
out” loop yet, you may want to consider that, unlike Apple wherein updates are
made available to everyone for download and install, Android updates are slowly
launched across different parts of the world – that means users have to wait
for weeks to receive the update.
Good news is that the update is
now rolling out for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S. The new update promises the
usual bug fixes to Project Butter. Notifications are now expandable and can be
opened using one finger.
You may want to check your
updates by hitting Setting > About
> System Update. Most of the users may not get positive result upon
hitting the system update, however there is another way to pluck that update
over the air, check it out after the jump.
First of all it is a no-brainer
that this will only work if there is an existing OTA update rolling out for your
device, so don’t expect your Galaxy Y to receive Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
update when you do this steps.
1. Try
hitting Setting > About > System
Update, if not successful try next step.
2. Navigate
through Settings > App and enable
the option which lets you see all apps.
3. Scroll
down alphabetical list to Google Services
Framework and open it.
4. Hit
Clear Data and then Force Stop.
Most Android users have used this
method once and get positive results, while others have to do it multiple times
before the update prompts in their screens. It is safe to say that this will
only increase your chances of having the update in an earlier time.
