Should you want to also check if your device has an available latest update, simply follow these steps for updating via OTA and/or via LAPTOP/PC:

Determine update requirements

Customers' devices must meet the following requirements to update their software to the most current version:

  • 50% or higher battery life
  • Data connection
  • File size and storage memory available

Update software versions

Update automatically over the air (OTA)

  1. From the home screen, tap Settings.
  2. Tap About device.
  3. Tap Download updates manually.
  4. Tap OK.
  5. Tap Start.
  6. A restart message will appear, tap OK.

Update from a computer

Follow the update requirements above, along with the following:

  • Use a Samsung USB cable.
  • Back up your data prior to completing the update.

During the update, do not:

  • Use the device or press any keys.
  • Remove the battery, if applicable.
  • Turn off the device.
  • Disconnect the USB cable until the update is complete.

You will not be able to place a call during the update, not even an emergency call.

  1. Download and install Samsung Smart Switch that is compatible with your computer from http://www.samsung.com/us/support/smart-switch-support/#!/
  2. Connect the cable to a compatible USB port on your computer.
  3. Connect the other end of the cable to your mobile device.
  4. Allow your computer to install any required drivers for your device. This process may take a few minutes.
  5. Open Smart Switch on your computer, and allow it to make the connection.
  6. If a software update is available for your device, Smart Switch will automatically prompt you to update. At any time, you can click Update.
  7. Click Update to begin downloading the necessary files.
  8. Click OK to proceed.

Your device may turn off and on a few times during the update process. Once complete the device will return to the Home screen.

Issues after updating
