Like many a mobile phone there may be different operating systems that you don’t like on certain handsets like some LG phones or Sony Ericsson phones most of these are running an old version of Android so now there will be newer versions of the Android OS and if, like the HTC Hero on Orange, you do have an old version then you may be forced to wait a while until your network provider is ready to roll out the upgrade to all its handsets.
There is a glimmer of hope for you iPhone users out there, you can perform this downgrade yourself but the downside to this is that it does take absolutely ages! There are 6 steps in this process all together and you need to read and follow the instructions correctly ‘cos if you screw this up then you won’t be covered on your insurance and you’ll probably just get laughed at when you try and get yourself a new handset. So please if you do try and do this yourself, make sure you know what you’re doing because otherwise you’ll be shelling out another few hundred pound for a new handset.
