Part III: How to Enforce an Android Phone to Check for System Update (Android 4.2)?

As I mentioned at the very beginning of the article, HTC One S will update to Android 4.1 soon. However, whenever Google releases a new version of Android, it doesn't roll out to everyone at once. It may take several days before your device receives the update, but you don't have to wait. Here are how to enforce HTC One S to find an update.

• Method 1: Usually you can go to Settings > About Phone > System Update to check for available updates, but the problem with that is carriers often have staggered release cycles.
• Method 2: Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications) and select show All. Then find Google Services Framework and click the Clear Data button. Then click the Force Stop button.

  Note that this might not work on the first try.

• Method 3: Dial "*#*#checkin#*#*". This way just works for some Android phones including HTC, not all.

So feel free to enjoy wonderful functions on your HTC One S, especially after update to Android 4.2. No data loss any more. If mishap happens, try Android Data Recovery to recover all lost data.
