It depends on what's being updated. If Google Play is updated, I've experienced erratic and sluggish applications until the phone is rebooted. System is anything that's a package rather than the blobs they stick into various partitions and mandate a reboot to apply. > I think it is a mistake to require reboot for _every_ > update, even though, as you say, even user apps sometimes _cannot_ be > updated online (*).

If you read all the posts I cited, it's pretty clear that the notion updates are really being used if you haven't rebooted is entirely illusory/wishful thinking. There's a good chance you wouldn't know there were a problem.The only way to be sure is to reboot. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
