Why Android Updates Take So Long – Android Q&A

1. Seriously? I don't have time to wait through all the BS.

2. BS. But ok. Disclose whether or not you got kickbacks for this pr skit

3. Its 2018, what about Treble in Oreo??

4. Shopping for a tablet at this time. I can buy a tablet with 5.1 lollipop, or I can spend 40% more cash and get nougat 7.0 If I bought the lollipop tablet am I going to be able to go immediately to nougat since it has been released? If not how do I know if a android tablet is fully upgrade-able or not ?

5. And biased.

6. This video is so misleading

7. Then just don't announce it so much in advance.

8. so my question is is it really important to keep up with the updates because by the time some people get the update a new update is released so some of us have to go and buy a new phone just to have the update

9. The bottom line is this. Apple and Google makes their own OS. Their devices will get those updates first. All other android phones will wait for OS updates bc the cell phone manufactures don't make their own OS and are dependent on android updates. That why we have to wait for updates to our phones if we get them at all.

10. ANDROID IS SHIT! straight up, Bullshit! that's why. . I know some people who never get updates & never will, the same way that you buy the phone , is the same way that it will stay forever

11. Now I understand why it takes android so long to push out updates to various cell phone and tablet makers using the android platform.

    To truly solve the update issue with Android the cell phone manufacturers and tablet manufacturers must make their own operating systems as well as updates to their devices

12. I don't think when the announcement is made has much to do with it. It wouldn't explain why iOS users get updates relatively closely to each other, while some android users get them and others wait months. It's clearly much more fragmented than iOS, one reason I'm not impressed with that platform.

13. Well that's googles fault… im going back to apple.

14. They should stick to one or two SoCs manufacturer. Perhaps Nvidia and Qualcomm. Just like how Windows Phone just sticks with Qualcomm.

15. @Fredrik Hemsen Nope.

16. @Fredrik Hemsen Nope.

17. @luvyou baby Android 4.4 KitKat won't be coming to the Galaxy S3.

18. kitkat for galaxy 3- still waiting

19. so you're saying the processors talk different languages (different code machine), like in macs and pcs, lmao

20. Do android tablets take as long as android phones to update if they updated at all if so why. They don't face the carrier testing issues like the phones which you said was the most time consuming and most difficult part of updating android devices.

21. I don't know why all people agree to monopoly that we "must" to buy new phone every 2 year. This is madness. I still stick to my old iPhone 4 because it's good phone. And I don't even use all of features I have. Also android users please stop buying new phones. Do you really need them? Operators and manufacturers fuck us because we buy their phones. I hear some info about new Galaxy 5 WHAT? My friend have Galaxy 3 and this phone it's like OMG it's gorgeous. What we need new one? I have sill my 20 year's old "fat" tv and I love it. It works.

    Stop buying new phones !!!

22. Anyone else still running Froyo?

23. How can I go back to android 4.3 on my nexus 7 2013 from 4.4????plz help me I really wanna watch my flash content once again😧😧😧😧😢😢😢

24. Well Well Well .. how days it matter to an end user that when a company is  planning to announce a new update? what really matters when we are getting it after the announcement. I am using a galaxy SIII and I have already heard about 3 android updates. 4.2 , 4.2.2, 4.3 now 4.4 but i am still stuck on 4.1.2.. what a shit

25. Next question; why does it take so long to reach all devices when they decide to roll out? What is the point of the staged roll outs? E.g. Samsung has started rolling out 4.3 to the Note II; but it won't be available in Europe until mid December. Google explained that they keep a close eye on the first 1% to be sure nothing mayor gets broken; but why not open the flood gates after that?

26. Hey Jayce what case do you have on yiur Note 2?

27. Thanks for thr amazing videos u guys make but I have a question. .
    I have an samsung galaxy s4 and my friends are getting the update of 4.3 and I tried to update but I couldnt cuz it seems like it depends on the region. . So how do I know when my region gets the update ? And how I can change my region to get faster updates?
    Thanks again

28. So you have any info on why Windows transition goes back to 1x every time you use the camera app

    So do you have any info why the new you tube video and scrap book doesn't save videos it just take a screen shot but it works for the factory you tube

    So do you have any info on why the battery life on the GALAXY NOTE 3 ! Is not living up to the hype EVER since the 4.3 update

    Yup all these freaking ISSUES ON MY 3 day old GN3 ON VERIZON

29. If someone really needed to know why, then I suggest they aren't too worried about it. Most by now are familiar with the actual reasons. You've touched base but I understand why you lacked on some points of view, facts.

30. Thank u..

31. That's why I stay rooted I don't like to wait on at&t

32. What about the new 4.4 kikat…. How can I get it on my s4 which still uses the 4.3

33. I still haven't received the kitkat update on my nexus 7 2013 model!!!!! Where the hell is it?

34. If you carrier unlock s4 or any android phone will you get updates from the manufacturer or still from the carrier?

35. Very informative!

36. Can you please do a rooting tutorial for us?

37. My Samsung Galaxy Y with android ginger bread…..

38. Just got 4.4 on my Nexus 7 yesterday

39. H h ahaha.. felt so good. After apple vs android point. Phuf.. thsts y!

40. Please can u cover on the next episode on how to stream from android to tv via wifi… and I use gs4 n cadyce hd wifi streamer. Works with samsung by simply connecting to the wifi of that cadyce device. But on other android phones. How to do?. Eg nexus 4. I dont know how to. In s4 there is always a screen mirror button on videos top left.. please cover this in the next episode.

41. I just got the OTA today on my Nexus 7 2012. Disapointed that it didnt come with the Google Experience Launcher, so I downloaded and installed it separately. However, the Launcher made my tablet really laggy. Even with Google Now turned off, its noticeably laggier/jankier than without the launcher. The kind of lagginess i haven't seen since the days of Gingerbread.  Anyone experience the same on their N7 2012?
