As part of this review, an algorithm for how to update Meiza from a software point of view will be described step by step. Smartphones from this Chinese manufacturer are affordable mobile devices and are becoming increasingly popular. They also receive frequent software updates. It is the installation of a new version of the system software on such a mobile device that this material will be devoted to.
Brand Brief
Before we talk about how to update a Meizu phone of any model, we will give a brief information about this manufacturer. This company was founded in 1998. Initially, she specialized in the manufacture of various media players and stereo headsets for them. The first such product was released in 2003.
In 2008, the company changed its profile and started producing smartphones. And immediately its mobile devices were based onWindows CE operating system. But since 2011, this manufacturer has switched to the Android software platform. At the same time, he introduced his own interface for this operating system, which was called FlymeOS. It is the update of the last two software components that this material will be devoted to.
Battery status
Before you update "Meise" at the software level, you need to check the battery level. If this condition is not met, then the device may unexpectedly turn off during the installation of new system software. This will cause the smartphone to stop turning on after that. The minimum battery level is 35 percent. It is on this value that the manufacturer focuses on.
Below this threshold, unauthorized shutdown of the mobile device may occur. At the same time, qualified experts generally recommend a battery level of at least 50 percent. The higher this setting, the safer it is to install system software updates.
How best to download updates
Before updating the Meizu M5 or any other smartphone model from this manufacturer, let's figure out the best way to download system software from the manufacturer's official website. For these purposes, you can use one of two methods of wireless transmission of information. The first of them is based on cellular communication. The speed can be up to 150Mbps subject to 4G coverage. But, as a rule, such data transfer is charged separately and requires a fairly large amount of money on the account. During the upgrade process, a significant part of them can be charged for using traffic to install new software. Therefore, using this method to receive updates is strongly discouraged.
It is more correct to use any Wi-Fi network in this situation. In this case, there is no need to pay for the received data. Such connections in most cases are unlimited. In this case, the transfer rate can be 300 Mbps or more. That is, updates when using a Wi-Fi transmitter will be downloaded much faster. In addition, there is no need to spend additional material resources. All this in total makes the use of this method of obtaining information from the “global web” in this case more reasonable.
Installing a new OS version
Now let's look at how to update Meiza to a new version of the system software. The installation algorithm for such software is as follows:
- Connect to the Internet. Moreover, as previously noted, it is recommended to use a wireless Wi-Fi transmitter for these purposes.
- Next, we find the “Settings” item on one of the working screens. Open it.
- At the next step, you need to open the “System Update” menu item.
- After that, a new window will open. In it, you need to click onthe “Check for Updates” button.
- Then you need to wait for a pause. The smartphone should contact the manufacturer's server and check for new versions of the system software on it. If the most up-to-date software is installed on the device, then a corresponding message will appear after that. Otherwise, the update download process will begin.
- Next, the software will be automatically updated. In this case, the smartphone may reboot several times.
- As soon as it is possible to update the version of Meizu, the user will return to the main screen of the operating system. This completes this operation.
Expediency of updating system software
After the algorithm of how to update the “Meizu M3 s” or any other smartphone of this Chinese manufacturer has been described, we will find out the feasibility of its implementation. The first versions of the system software, as experience shows, most mobile phones have significant flaws that can lead to various kinds of “freezes”, reboots and other similar problems. Based on the requests of the owners, a list of comments is formed. Further, this information is processed by the company's programmers, who find defects and eliminate them. After that, updates with corrected remarks appear on the official website of the manufacturer.
Therefore, the installation of new system software in any case favorably affects the stability and reliability of the mobile system. In addition, various deficiencies associated withprotecting information on a smartphone. Therefore, it is recommended to constantly monitor new versions of programs and install them regularly.
Conclusion
As part of this review, a universal algorithm was outlined on how to update Meise. And any model. The software part of any current smartphone of this manufacturer is implemented on the basis of the Android OS. But the Flyme shell also complements the capabilities of the latter. It is the update of these two software components that this material is devoted to. General recommendations are also given that will make it as simple as possible to solve this issue.
There are no super complicated actions in the previously described algorithm. Therefore, even a poorly trained owner of such a mobile device should cope with it without any problems.
