Currently there are lots of different mobile manufacturers, in a market that is always changing and growing enormously every year.
Within this same market we can find both large manufacturers such as Apple services, as well as smaller manufacturers but just as efficient in terms of their devices, such as the Spanish brand of BQ.
Since its launch in 2009 it has only grown; increasing the number of products in its repertoire and not only focusing on the manufacture of smart devices.
Likewise, as with any mobile device, the devices manufactured by BQ must download updates on a regular basis; in such a way that they can be kept bug free and quite pleasant to use.
This same thing, as you can imagine, also happens when Android launches a new update; which happens so that both aspects of the BQ device are kept up to date and fully functional.
Now, with the latter in mind, many people get a bit confused when it comes to updating their BQ devices, but it’s really quite simple.
All you have to do is the entire guide that we are going to show you below, so that you can be aware of each small download that is needed for these devices.
Installing BQ updates
When you have a smart device like BQ’s, you have to have a device that can keep up with its updates; in such a way that it can be used with total ease in all its aspects.
This can often be a bit harder said than done on certain devices, but this is certainly not the case with BQ devices; since you can update them in different ways, as is common among Android devices.
The first way in which we will talk about how you can update your BQ device is the most traditional way, and it is through the OnThe Air system, or OTA.
When using this system, the device itself will let you know if a software update is available; although you can always check for yourself by entering the settings of the device which appears in the form of a small gear in the menu. It should be noted that you can also activate the automatic update of the applications that you have pending.
Once we get to the settings of our device, we just have to find the menu that says “About the phone”, and inside we will find the “Updates” section.
Now, within it you will see an option that will let you check if there is a software update available or one that will make you download it directly. So, select this option and wait for the download and installation to complete, remembering to have your device fully charged.
Another way to install updates on your BQ device
The other way you have to be able to install the updates to your BQ device is through the same official BQ page. Enter it and look for the “Downloads” section that is on the main page and once there, choose the device you want to update quickly.
When you have done it, you will see that the page gives you the opportunity to download some “Drivers”, download the one that corresponds to your device.
Now, when you have done the download, connect your BQ device to your computer and open the file you have downloaded; this will make you update your device following the instructions that appear on the screen.
Remember that this process has much greater guarantees in case you cannot update through the first method indicated.
