Updating your Android OS

Good news and bad news.

Who's the Smartphone OS Crash Champion?
Analysis: Apple claims its iOS is more stable, and Android gets the rap for crashes -- but a research report reveals the truth.

According to the latest Google statistics on our apps, over 50% of our users of either Battery Notifier BT Free or Battery Notifier Pro BT use Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.7. Unfortunately, almost 10% of crashes come from these Android versions.

Worse yet, Android 2.3.6 appears to have some serious battery draining issues...
How One Little Android Update Caused A Big Headache

If you update your OS, we strongly recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the latest version of either Battery Notifier BT Free or Battery Notifier Pro BT from the market, because even though updates are improvements, sometimes they contain bugs that are just waiting to be discovered.

In addition, there are now over 1000 devices out there that can use Battery Notifier BT Free or Battery Notifier Pro BT. So when you e-mail us about a problem you are having, please understand that we try to keep up with the latest and the greatest, but sometimes the only way to know about a new bug in one of these 1000+ devices with all these different Android OS's, is for you to notify us and tell us. Thanks.
