  • Force an Android Device to Check for a System Update
    • Usually you can go to Settings > About Phone > System Update to check for available updates, but the problem with that is carriers often have staggered release cycles.
    • Ghacks posts an alternative method. Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications) and select show All. Then find Google Services Framework and click the Clear Data button. Then click the Force Stop button. Note that this might not work on the first try.
    • Another alternative method is to dial *#*#checkin#*#*
