I have been trying for days all the info I find says to go into settings / about phone then click on update but when I do it don't find an update at all and I know there is one
I only have 404 on mine
to old ok.didn know you can update an android
but iff not ,you can by better new one.
Although it is true that there is a good development community creating custom upgrade ROMS for many devices (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/ ) that involves rooting and potentially voiding the warranty.
This new minimum requirement has just eliminated 2 of my 4 active Android devices from being useable because they can not be upgraded beyond their current version.
I can look up the exact numbers, but easily 50% of all Android devices are still on 4.0.4 or below. It is fine to have a higher requirement, but really important that the requirements are clear (like posted on the download page). Once the app is on Google Play, it takes care of it for you. It won't show as available for devices that don't meet the minimum specs.

I'm unable to comment on the hardware manufacturers of android devices about why they do not provide an upgrade to newer android versions. However, as Apple works - their devices support the latest OS all the way back to the 4S (Which is like 6 years old)
If you purchase an Android device and it suffers from zero support of the manufacturer for updating the operating system, there is very little we can do. I would recommend selecting an Apple device, or researching an Android device that allows updating of the Operating System, similar to how Apple works.
I have a Nexus and an HTC M8 both above the minimum , so not complaining for me (although I also have a Xoom and Rezound I won't be able to use, but their web browsers or Splashtop or TeamViewer will work, so not useless) just helping to educate on what it means to your customers.
Alan
My recommendation to people: Either buy a new device/trade in with your carrier, or root and install an updated firmware on the device. Odds are, if your on a 4.0.4 device, the warranty is over anyways.
Alan
Some are easy, some very hard.
