Preparing for a software update

To make sure a software update can be carried out smoothly and without

interruptions, prepare your phone for the update. Here's what you need to

check.

§ If your battery level is low, give your phone a quick charge before

starting the update.

§ Check how much free space you have on your phone and make

some room for the update. To find out how to check the available

storage, see Checking phone storage on page 145.

If necessary, remove a few unwanted apps. Refer to Uninstalling an

app on page 145 to see how it's done.

You can transfer files, photos, and videos to your computer or

upload them to SkyDrive. To learn more, see Keeping things in sync

on page 91 and Backing up your files on page 91.

Or delete large files (such as photos, videos, or music) from your

phone.

§ Make sure your phone is set with the correct date and time. This

determines which new updates you'll need. For details, see

Correcting the date and time on page 153.
