The Japanese company Sony is currently distributing a new operating system update for both the Sony Xperia Z1 and the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. In the case of the Sony Xperia Z1, the update responds to the name of 14.3.A.0.761 and occupies a space of 1.9 MegaBytes. In the case of the compact version of this mobile, the update also responds to the same name and occupies the same space as the file corresponding to the Xperia Z1.
Given that this new file only brings a slight modification in the last two figures with respect to the previous name of the Sony Xperia Z1 operating system (14.3.A.0.757), everything indicates that we are facing a small update aimed at correcting some errors in internal level. Of course, in the case of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact the update is somewhat more relevant, since the owners of this mobile have been suffering from small bugs for several weeks that arose from one of the latest operating system updates.
In fact, a few days ago we already informed you that the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact was close to receiving a new update. The main errors that users report are summarized in problems with sound, problems with overheating and interface failures that cause a screen lock. Hopefully with this update all these problems are solved definitively.
Remember that these types of updates require some time until they become available in all countries. Therefore, it is best to wait for our mobile to inform us through a notification that there is an update available for download. In the event that we do not want to wait for this notification, we also have the possibility to perform the check manually by following these steps:
- We enter the Settings application.
- We navigate to the option " About the device " and click on it.
- Once inside, click on the option "System update ".
- Within this screen, we can only follow the instructions on the screen to download and install any update that is available at that time.
The other method that we have to download and install any update on a Sony Xperia is to use the PC Companion program. It is an official and free Sony tool (available under this link: http://www.sonymobile.com/es/tools/pc-companion/) that allows us to update our mobile through the computer. To do this, we will need to connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable, and the program will automatically tell us if there is an update available for download. This is generally the fastest method of downloading updates that Sony releases in all territories.
