It is late in the night.
The OS ..of OPPO ...suddenly started upgrading...
The word OPPO would not go....even when I tried to switch it off.
My mind wondered what I have to salvage, and what I may not be able to salvage, if the device gives way.
And then I panicked. I have oh so many chores lined up starting this Monday. Including payment of advance tax.
I requested Sai Baba, please help. And then the screen saver returned.
So...when there is system updating on...shouldn't there be a message saying system is being updated do not fidget with other buttons or switches...whatever.
Maybe most of the people are far more knowledgeable.
But...I did panic.

I don't blame you. When I reboot my laptop if there is a update it says do not turn off until the update is done,

That must have been stressful, especially at night! Unexpected software updates can be nerve-wracking, especially when the phone or the screen gets frozen. It’s natural to panic and most will in those moments especially when you think you might lose important data in the smartphone. Luckily everything turned out ell and thankfully, Sai Baba heard your request. Better messaging during the updates could help in avoiding worry and confusion. Not all are tech wizards and these things could be unsettling for most when they happen suddenly. Hopefully, your phone runs smoothly now, and you can focus on your Monday tasks without any more scares or worries. It is also important to backup data perhaps in a drive. Take care!

I know your concerns when updating the OS on your phone.
At least you should have a backup, because to update the OS requires 50% battery and also requires enough free space to install several file systems and applications. Of course, in updating the system will do cleaning and rewriting of the ROM and system files. If the update fails, a boot loop can occur.

My Oppo only do an update when I sleep so by the time I am awake, usually it is done after that.

No reason to worry, I'll send all the pictures of me again if you lose them. 
I'm glad it was just updating... It would annoy me if my phone updated without letting me know as it does the update.

That would be very worrying. I'm glad it all went back to normal.
