Update your phone software 
INSTALL AVAILABLE UPDATES 
Tap Settings > System > Advanced > System 
update > Check for update to check if updates 
are available. 
When your phone notifies you that an update is 
available, just follow the instructions shown on 
your phone. If your phone is low on memory, you 
may need to move your photos and other stuff to 
the memory card. 
Warning: If you install a software update, you 
cannot use the device, even to make emergency 
calls, until the installation is complete and the 
device is restarted. 
Before starting the update, connect a charger or 
make sure the device battery has enough power, 
and connect to Wi-Fi, as the update packages 
may use up a lot of mobile data. 
Back up your data 
To ensure your data is safe, use the backup 
feature in your phone. Your device data (such as 
Wi-Fi passwords and call history) and app data 
(such as settings and files stored by apps) will be 
backed up remotely.
