Software Updates
Google might send new or updated versions of your phone’s operating system via over-the-air (OTA)
updates. When your phone receives an OTA update, it will automatically connect to the Internet using
your data connection (3G, GPRS, EDGE, or Wi-Fi) and will download the software update.
Note
If you are roaming or if you clear the
Background data
check box (described in the next
section), you will not receive updates.
