@Marco @anon90052001:
I also emphase the sillyness, that to apply the “UnfiedStorageUpdate” (USU) only can be done from V1.6! What the hell ???
- I did not installed the USU up to now, because I did not want to loose all my data/apps and spent hours to re-set all my stuff + At the moment I don’t need it
- I hoped that I could wait until a better way of applying the USU is available by FP
- But now you are coming with the information (quite too late for some), that if I want to apply the USU later, I first have to downgrade to 1.6, make USU, upgrade to current version AND have to re-set all my stuff ??
- practically this means for me I can/will not update the OS to 1.8+, before doing the USU, which I don’t want to make before neccassary…With this, you cancelled my out of using updates. Thanks.
- Sorry…regardless what the technical reason is behind this ---- in my opinion this procedure is NOT acceptable!
Unfortunately FP now has supported my view, that I hate applying Updates! “Never change a running system” is since than my slogan after early microsoft days, where updates everytime crashed my system and wasted hours of time to have it like before 
@Sandy: Yes, if you apply the UnifiedStorageUpdate ALL your installed APPS and their settings as well as pics, contacts etc. will be deleted. Only way to get back is to make backups and/or reinstall the apps (either by backups or by GooglePlaystore, which rememberes your installed apps, if I am right)
