Software Update Download Time

[bolo]

Got a notification about a software update for my Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 astound 3 hours ago and decided there and then to go ahead. However, after the said 3 hours the download is still only 25% complete. How long do these things take?

Hi, are you using WiFi?

[bolo]

Yes

It shouldn't take that long. It could be that there are lots of people downloading it so the servers are struggling to cope.

If it was me I would cancel it and try again later.

No movement at all! Will cancel until later. Thanks for your help.

How's your speeds over wifi ?

As said it could be the servers having a melt down or your wifi speeds are a little slow. 

Did you note the size of the download file ?

Good luck with the download.

@bolo

Good to hear it's completed.

@boloLet us know how you get on.   There's another thread where the OP is having issues, but I suspect it's specific to their phone and not widespread.

Phone not only running smoothly after update, but a problem I had with Chrome prior to the update, has been sorted out in the process. All in all, a good result. And by the way, I know that it's not to be recommended, but just like last time, I carried out the procedure without backing up.

One important point! After discovering that my AV and my MBAM had been turned off during the the update, I went through the 'settings' and found that quite a few of my settings had to be reset.
