How to update Android OS on a device through an App?

How do I update the Android OS version in Google Play?

  • I upgraded from GingerB to IceCS. But the Google Play app on my phone + the website apparently still have the old Android version. As a result apps which are now compatible are still shown as incompatible. How do I solve this?

  • Answer:

    You can't. Google Play only allows you to install or update applications on top of Android OS. In order to update your Android OS, you will need to use a tool shipped by the device manufacturer, for example Samsung Kies for Samsung phones. Alternatively you can root and re-image your own device by using a third-party tool, for example http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/365469/20120721/install-android-4-1-jelly-bean-nexus.htm Feel free to post a follow question with specifics such as: How can I upgrade my Device X from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean (4.1.1) on Windows?

Google Play automatically updates itself whenever a new version arrives but incase it's not doing so, you can manually install the new version of the Play Store (3.8.17) by downloading the APK from here http://www.mediafire.com/?wwcqrlfwt8o1gnv Also clear your browser cache along with cookies and other data, as that might be the reason why you're seeing the old version of the Play Store.

Unfortunately all u can do is wait as of now. But you can definitely speed up things by opening up PlayStore from your device. Try downloading some app which you are really wanting to download and require ICS. You must be able to download it without trouble. As far as website goes, that should be updated with current info by now.

What you exactly mean by question? You want to update your Android OS through Google Play Store or update the Google Play store on your OS?

Google's most current adaptation of Android is called Lollipop which is assigned with the number 5.0. Unless you possess one of Google's Nexus gadgets, your  phone might not have entry to Lollipop yet. Be that as it may, in the event that you are not running the KitKat (4.4) form of Android, you ought to attempt to upgrade your gadget....
