Cortana for Android Beta Tests

simrick said:

I am really liking Cortana on W10 and I think it's great that MS will include Cortana for Android. Beta testing has begun by invitation only:

There is a survey to fill out to apply.

Guess I won't get in, because I can't figure out which version of Android is on my phone.

simrick said:

Oh! Go into SETTINGS>About Phone and look for the Android Version.

Ain't none! Well, shoot! I didn't scroll down; there was a "more" so I thought that was the last of that list! Sheesh . . . I can build a computer but this silly little phone just beats me soundly about the head and ears!

Now I have to figure out how to get the info I need from Alcatel (Mfg'r) to update the OS. Right now I'm on 4.4.2, which is not where I should be. I should have Lollipop!

simrick said:

Okay but 4.4 KitKat is on their list, so sign up!

EDIT: I also heard Lollipop is awful; maybe you should delay that update....

I finally got to System Updates and it said there are none. So, that's that.

I've finished the survey and just said I don't know what my OS is. That's why I think I won't get in. But I have a "back door" that I'm fixing to try to use. :)

So I gave all my sacred info, what happens next?

Hopefully we get an email inviting us to the beta. :)
