MY PHONE WON'T UPDATE OR DOWNLOAD

Hi all,

This is my first time in this area, but not this forum. I have asked many questions in the Desktop Computers section.

I have a cheap AT&T Maven III Android cellphone, and it won't update or download anything anymore. I think it is something I did a couple of years ago. So my question is: Is there anything I should check or do to get it to do these things again?

Thanks, Mark
 
It won't update anything because its an old phone and out of support as its over 8 years old now. You need a new one.
 
Hi johnb35!
I wasn't sure if you would answer this post or not, but I'm glad you did.
I was hoping that wasn't the answer. Unfortunately my wife and I don't work and we live off of my SSDI benefits from a car crash back in 1994. We are both 74 and she's the one who really needs a current phone. Not me. So getting myself a new one would be difficult for me to justify. Oh well, I tried. :( Thanks once again johnb35 for the swift answer.

You may have some joy by doing a factory reset. This would exclude any wayward user settings.
