Guest Sparkey159 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Hello So the other day, When I was getting my Hudl 2 replaced (Due to a update loop*), some of the staff at the Tesco store were talking about the lollipop update. They said that it was already out, and that my Hudl was having a hard time updating to it. I haven't seen the update appear on my new Hudl though... Could this be a sign that the update is ready to be released? I might just be mad, or it could be coming soon :P - Sparkey *Luckily, they didn't find out it was Rooted.
Guest samac Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 I'm running a vanilla Hudl2 running 4.4.2 last updated 06/01/2015 and the update tool tells me that I'm up to date. So I guess any potential up date is not yet available. samac
Guest Jabbitt Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) This has been discussed in another thread here. Intel have to write the code that allows android to run on their chips such as the one inside the Hudl2. That code hadn't been updated since last year when it was released to run Android 4.4.2.http://www.modaco.com/index.php?/topic/373853-Android-5.0-Lollipop-on-Hudl2#entry2239974 '> http://www.modaco.com/index.php?/topic/373853-Android-5.0-Lollipop-on-Hudl2#entry2239974 Edited February 24, 2015 by Jabbitt
Guest seanspotatobusiness Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Based on the posts I've read on this forum, Tesco staff tend not to have any idea what they're talking about.

Guest afzalmohammed1133 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Looks like Tesco are at least testing Lollipop on the Hudl 2 "We are currently investigating into making it viable for the Hudl2 and as such have no official announcement to make as to a potential release date, I myself am also hoping an announcement is made soon"
Guest Jabbitt Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/android-5.0-lollipop-minnowboard-max Bluddy hell! I did not know that!
Guest afzalmohammed1133 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 So has Intel written the android lollipop code for the chip inside the Hudl 2

Guest Jabbitt Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 At first I thought it meant that Intel can now run Android Lollipop on tablets using their chips but that website references a specific chip set. The Hudl2 has a a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3735D quad-core processor and I think that's different to what's on that web link.
Guest afzalmohammed1133 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 Spoke to tech support, devs are testing lollipop builds for the Hudl 2. It might be in the future but at least some conformation that indeed android lollipop is coming to Hudl 2. :)
