The French company Alcatel has started to distribute the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to Alcatel Idol X + owners around the world. The update is being distributed via OTA, that is, directly through users' smartphones. This is an important update since it involves a change from Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (the version of the Android operating system that this mobile incorporates as standard) to one of the most recent versions of Android, Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Alcatel Idol X + has already begun to reach some countries, although its official worldwide distribution is scheduled for tomorrow , August 15. The new features of this version affect both the interface and the operation of the Alcatel Idol X +. In the interface section, changes are expected in the notification bar and in the Mobile Settings menu, as well as new developments in the design of the icons of the applications installed as standard on the mobile. As far as operation is concerned, updatingAndroid 4.4.2 KitKat should provide to the Alcatel Idol X + one more performance and lower battery consumption.
The first to receive the update will be users who have purchased the Alcatel Idol X + freely, while users who have purchased this mobile through a telephone company will have to wait some additional time to receive this same file. At the moment the exact space occupied by the file that contains the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update is unknown, although it is to be assumed that it will have a weight of between 200 and 400 MegaBytes.
All owners of an Alcatel Idol X + who are interested in updating their mobile to Android 4.4.2 KitKat should only wait to receive a notification on their terminal informing of the availability of the update. This notification will include all the steps to follow to download and install the update without major problems. Even so, in the event that a user wants to manually check the availability of the update, the steps to follow are these:
- We unlock the mobile screen and access the Settings application. This application is represented by a gear icon, and is normally located within the list of applications on the main screen.
- Click on the " About the device " section.
- We look for an option with the name of " Update operating system " and click on it.
- Now we simply follow the steps that will be indicated on the screen to check the availability of the update. In the event that the update is available, all we have to do is download it through WiFi connectivity (to avoid spending the data rate) and wait for the mobile to install the file automatically.
