thanks so much! are Apple better than Google when it comes to supporting their hardware with new updates? i've been searching the internet for answers and it seems like my huawei latest update is the Android OS which is currently running on it now...

what do you mean?

REALLY?!?!?! it just seems that constantly updating the security should be number one concern on a device like my Huawei smartphone which carries all of my personal/private information......

your help is gratefully appreciated! so, would it be possible to install the latest Android OS beyond the Android OS that's supported by Huawei?

i've got one more super important question: is there any risk to my privacy and personal information like SMS messages and information installed in my apps by updating via "About phone" then "System Update" then pressing the "Online update" button???

thanks! i just looked up the "downloads" available for my Android phone and these came up: Popular Downloads HUAWEI G510 Open Source(G510-0200,JellyBean,kernel-3.4.0) 2013-06-26 122.35 MB Download G510firmware(G510-0200,Android 4.1,Emtion UI,V100R001C00B200,General Version) 2014-05-13 609.37...

Current version is Android 4.1 EDIT: is it possible to check how much my Android phone's OS can be upgraded? http://m.huawei.com/enmobile/consumer/support/

im looking at the phone now and the model number is "HUAWEI G510-0200" does anyone know how much i can update this? i'm mainly concerned with security updates and stability updates not with any major software updates. EDIT: the phone only has 4GB of built-in storage space, but i've inserted...

Huawei Ascend G510. I think this is the correct model: Huawei Ascend G510 - Full phone specifications Carrier = Optus (Massive Australian Telecom Company)

is it possible for me to check the exact source for myself that the Android phone will download the "Online Update" option...?

thank you for your replies! i just did what you said to update, but my Menu is a bit different to yours as it gives me the option for Online Update OR Local Update... Which is the most secure??? :confused:

well, you're both saying the updates are coming from two entirely different places...? :confused: :confused:

thank you. the problem i have now is that a friend just told me that when i use the option to Online Update my Android phone will connect to my phone carrier OR the manufacturer of the phone which is Huawei so i'm even more confused now... :confused: :confused: :confused:

i forgot to ask where does my Android phone connect to if i used Online Update? does it connect to Google's servers??? i just want to securely upgrade my Android phone... :'(

please forgive me for creating this thread and asking such a basic question, but i've never upgraded an Android OS before so i don't know what to do... i'm extremely worried i'll accidentally open my Android phone up to the world and lose my privacy and security. my Android OS is version 4 and...
