Help Why am I prompted to install system updates all the time?

[JohnJSal]

I recently bought a Nexus 7 which already came with 5.0.2. I upgraded to 5.1, and then after that I was prompted to install 5.1.1, which I did.

But after 5.1.1 was installed, I still had a notification saying that 5.1.1 was downloaded and ready to install. I couldn't dismiss this so I went ahead with the installation again. I don't know if it did anything new or not, but it went through the whole upgrade process as usual.

And now I still have a notification that says "System update downloaded" with the option to install it. I've done this once already as well, and after the upgrade process, I get this same notification yet again.

Why do I keep getting this? Is it actually finding new updates to install, or am I caught in some kind of loop?

Thanks!
John

Could be security patches. A system update doesn't always mean a new version of Android.

There were multiple 5.1.1 updates. I don't remember how many exactly.

Ah, I guess that explains it then. I'll see if these updates ever stop!

After the next update, check your build number to see if it changes.
