If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

IIRC, Robert Heinlein codified this as "Harshaw's Law" in Stranger in a Strange Land:
"Daughters can spend more money than a man can make in any usual occupation".
Having two daughters, I can sympathise...

We have a winner.
Someone who has sex-appeal is said to have "it".

You mean to say 'it' rather like 'rash'?

If a rash is what appeals to you, then by all means...

Normally a rash appears after the wrong type appeals to you!

"it" was a pure guess...other clues fit so I assumed that it should be true.
My other half baked solution was "uncompromise"
Refusal- Un
Short compute -Com
sex appeal - Prom
No idea how to fit "ise"

Hello all,
Time ago (not much) I got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 from one phone company.
The phone is free so I could change the sim card without issues between companies.
It comes with Android 4.4.2 and with all the "extra" apps from the original phone company.
Let's say I would like to upgrade my phone to lollipop.
As far as I know, there is google who makes the new android version, then there are the phone manufacturers who make their specific versions for their phones and then there are the phone carriers who make their own personalization layers...
Shouldn't I be able to go to Samsung and download an international upgrade directly?
How this works?

It's been a while since I owned a Droid device, but if the OS is from the network then it always used to be that you had to get it from the network.
I don't know if it's still the same now or if there's a way around it?

99% of the time a free phone is still tied to the original network so you would have to wait for them to release the newer version.

The native Android version will always work, but you'd have to root your phone and bypass the manufacturer version.
I am not aware of phone carrier personalizing their versions (how would they do that ?)
For Samsung, I guess you'd have to update it using *kies* (the software that makes Notus Lotes bright and shiny), unless the new phones are able to auto-install a ROM.
Odin[^] may also be an alternative.

I've had it in the past with 3 - you get a load of 3 apps pre-installed, a few things disabled/limited.. Even when you get it unlocked, you'll still have the network version of the OS installed and it'll only update when they release an update, unless you root it..
I don't know how it all works from a business point of view - I guess that it's part of the manufacturers deal with the networks to get their devices sold through the network's official store.

I'd ask here[^] what the options are. It's a thriving community with a lot of experts who are willing to help (even if you're a complete novice, like I was), and a lot of expertly built roms.

Good luck with that.

As Rage mentioned above, if it came from the phone company then it is likely bundled with their bloat, tied to their network, and the BootLoader is locked. So unlocking it is step one, if they didn't disable the ability to do that. Once that is done, you would need to find and download the version you want and then install it yourself.
For the most part the entire process is quick and painless. Programs have been written to do most of the heavy lifting for you. I've only bricked one phone and that was my own doing. Forgot to charge or plug it in, battery died mid-install. Won't turn on at all now.
That said, if something goes wrong you are responsible for it and may end up buying a new phone.
