Updating the Software
Many important software updates become available from time to time.
These updates may improve the phone’s performance or deal with any
outstanding issues.
The latest software can be directly transmitted to the smartphone via
wireless networks.
Go to Settings > About phone > Software update.
In Starter mode: Settings > System > About phone > Software update
This page shows the current software version. Tap Status to see the
smartphone’s current software operating state and the date of the last
update. Tap Check New to check out the latest software and download it to
your phone.
App Management
Go to Settings > Apps to individually manage the apps running on the
smartphone.
In Starter mode: Settings > System > Apps
This menu is more than a simple task-manager. Each app has options that
modify how it functions.
Note
Interfering with running applications may cause them to crash or may
even cause the smartphone to crash. To get the smartphone working
again, it might have to be restarted.
Apps have both processes and services. The process is the main
app functionality or the program itself. The services that run in the
background provide the process with valuable and often critical
information. Shutting down a service often corrupts or stops a process.
For example, the Clock app requires an update service that keeps the
clock accurate.
