What you need to click to update Android. Updating HTC One

Hello dear blog readers. I want to tell you some things that may be useful to you when using the device in the operating room Android system 4.0 and specifically on . I will write tips on how to take a screenshot of the screen, how to update Android on HTC One V and a few more useful tips.

It’s just that I’ve often come across such questions on forums, and they answer them endlessly all the time, although there is a FAQ for each device, I’m now entering the forum http://4pda.ru/forum. So, I’ll collect here a few questions, and of course the answers to them.

The HTC One V smartphone seems to me to have become quite popular, even judging by the number of reviews on Rozetka. So let's look at the most frequently asked questions about this device, which I've had for three months now and am very happy with.

How to take a screenshot in Android 4.0?

I don’t know for sure, but it seems to me that this method works on all Android devices. Everything is done very simply, hold down the power/lock button of the device and press the home key. The screenshot will be saved immediately, for example on One V it is saved in the “All pictures” folder.

I'm still waiting for the update to Android 4.1 :) I don't know how things are going with this now, I'll have to look for information, but that's not what I'm talking about right now. There have already been several updates on the One V, and the phone itself checks for updates, but you can check for yourself whether there is anything new. To do this, go to settings, select the very last item “About phone” and click “Check now”. If there are no updates, the phone will tell you about it, and if there are, it will offer to update the software.

What kind of glass does the HTC One V Gorilla glass have or not?

This question was very relevant as soon as the device appeared on the market. But even now I think many people are interested in what kind of glass protects the screen on our phone. I may upset you now, but this device does not have Gorilla glass. The glass is tempered and very powerful, but not from a well-known company; when it fell, there was not a trace on the screen. I think I wrote about this.

Is it possible to remove HTC SENSE from HTC One V?

No friends, unfortunately not. You can only replace it with another launcher, but remove it and leave it standard interface Android 4.0 is not possible. Yes, it seems to me that there is no need, for example, I really like the interface from HTC and I don’t see any reason to demolish it. Many people buy devices from HTC because they have the SENSE interface.

Well, I think that’s enough questions/answers for today, while I was writing this post, the idea came up to make more articles with a similar FAQ on this phone. Let this be “Answers to questions about HTC One V No. 1.”

I hope you find this article useful; as usual, I welcome any questions in the comments. Good luck!
