Help with update

My T-Mobile GS5 has about 1.2 gigabytes available. Whenever I try to download the update however, I am told I don't have enough space. Does anyone have any ideas?

you definitely need to delete a few unused apps and then try again.

Edit. while you're at it you might as well clear the cache.

I'm not sure why, but I deleted 35 seconds of video and that did it!

you made the extra space needed by deleting the video

Edit to clarify - lollipops a large update it will switch you over to Android runtime which takes a little bit more space also

Well now I have the update downloaded, but do I still need extra space outside of that to download?

Nope you should be able to go ahead and update . but I would still just get rid of a little unused stuff later on down the road.
I would still recommend you clear your cache before updating just in case you may save yourself some trouble down the road also

EDIT
to clear your cache, power your phone off then hold down the power button volume up and home button at the same time until the phone vibrates and comes back on. Then use your volume rocker to select clear cache use the power button to clear it. once it's cleared select reboot and you should be good to go. Doing this after downloading the update may delete the update and you may have to download it again. So I'd suggest you clear your cache after updating.

Clear the cache after an update, because updating might cache something when still running the old version, so you'll have to do it again.

And if it's the Lollipop update, I'd read a few threads on different forums about that version on the Tmobile S5 before installing it. It works fine on some phones and carriers, it's terrible on others.

Thanks all, finally deleted some old screenshots and got enough room. Loving the update, and having minor issues!

The cache clear might fix some issues

My only other question was about the heads up notifications. Do we get them? Thanks for everything!!

I'm with Sprint so I'm not sure about T Mobile but I'd bet you did get the lock screen notifications

 

[joshua krempasky]

Do you know if there's a setting I have to enable? Because I haven't received any except for hangouts.

they should come up automatically as you receive different notifications when you open your lock screen they will be there. you can turn them off or just turn certain ones off by going into interruptions I believe.

 

[joshua krempasky]

Apparently they only come up for certain apps as of now. Hopefully more apps will become included!
