The Android operating system, owned by Google, provides an open-architecture platform for smart phones. Since Android was released in October 2009, there have been several upgrades and improvements that have been released. And while you cannot install the Android operating system onto a non-android based phone, you can install the upgrades when released. Once installed, your phone will take advantage of whatever improvements were made to the Google Android operating system.
Instructions
1. Press "Settings" on your Android phone. The settings menu is listed in the applications area of your phone's interface. All installed applications are listed here.
2. Scroll down to "About Phone." Once in the settings menu, you will see several options. Towards the bottom of the screen, look for the "About Phone" button.
3. Select "Updates." This causes your phone to connect to the Internet and search for any Android updates. Though most updates are sent automatically over-the-air, some updates may be delayed by your carrier. Manually searching for updates in this manner may reveal updates not yet sent out by your carrier.
4. Run the update. The update will install by itself and will need very little interaction. When completed, the phone will reboot itself to fully load the updates.
