XOLO has rolled out KitKat update for some of their devices and now it has been rolled out on the XOLO Q1010i. You can download the updates using your handset or can do the same from the XOLO website.
OTA (Over the Air updates) will be much simpler. If you own the XOLO Q1010i just launch the XOLO care app and tap the update button. Then hit the check for software update. You will then need to download the new update file that is around 298 MB. Better to download it using Wi-Fi or 3G.
Also make sure that the battery percent is over 75% as you would not want the phone to shut down cause of low battery during an update. You can also check the XOLO website to manually install the update by downloading the file on your PC.
On the XOLO software update page you will find the software download link for Q1010i and the instructions for the software update.
If you are using the Q1010i, download the update and let us know how it went and if there is any improvements in terms of performance and battery life, or anything new that you might have noticed.

Hi Gogi, I recently bought xolo Q1010i and upgraded it to kitkat provided by xolo on its website. Now after upgrading to Kitkat I am not able to open Play Store, an error message “request time out” is coming every time, however I can browse internet on my phone but I cannot browse/ download any application from play store. Could you please tell me how to roll back the Kitkat and install the original 4.2.2 stock rom on my Xolo Q1010i.
Gogi, is it possible for you to do review of Xolo q1010i by updating it to android 4.4.2 kitkat? It will be helpful for us to take a call whether to go for update or not? There are very mixed reviews of users about kitkat update for this phone over the internet. I am using this phone with 4.2.2 now from past one week and its working fine. Signal strength, earpiece volume and sound quality, Performance, battery back up and camera clarity everything I am happy with. Pls let us know to go for upgrade to kitkat or not?
Pramod, I don’t have the handset, but with KitKat performance should improve a little, but it will not be much of a difference.
I purchased new Xolo q1010i with Kitkat 4.4.2. I tried to transfer some apps from other mobile(Sony Xperia) but it didn’t made through bluetooth. I am able to transfer media files over bluetooth. I set my phone’s wallpaper to some photo but it didn’t show the full photo on screen since it did not fit the main screen but I am not able to add screens so I can slide to left or right and see the full photo. Kindly resolve my above 2 problems.
Hi,
Dragging the app left or right won’t work buddy. I tried the same a lot of times. Here’s the solution to it:
Go to Settings – Apps – All – Launcher3 – Disable
Once you do this your multiple screens will automatically appear again, its an issue with the launcher with 4.4
Go to apps then drag one app to home screen do not release it drag to right of home screen a new home screen will be created then release app.
By same procedure you can create as many home screens.
To delete home screen remove all apps from that page. Then automatically screen will be deleted
After so much dragging of apps to right n left of home screen, new home screen is not created cant set wallpaper

I applied this update on my Xolo Q1010i yesterday morning. The phone has become too slow to be almost unusable. Others, please do not apply this update until a stable image in released. I really want to revert back to 4.2 but don’t know how. Would appreciate if anyone can help provide steps to revert to factory OS image.
Don’t know what you are talking about, it works fine

HI, I have now updated my xolo 1010i with kitkat 4.4.2, the phone has become much faster. I have also updated a minor patch for sound enhancement and it works too. With the kitkat update the deal is even sweeter as it uses much lesser RAM compared to Jelly Bean. You can check out my review of Xolo 1010i on flipkart also.
