The Sony Xperia Z2 from the Japanese company Sony is currently receiving a new operating system update that responds to the name of 17.1.1.A.0.438. This is a small update that adds certain corrections to the current version of this smartphone, Android 4.4.2 KitKat. As is usual with these types of improvements, the update will be distributed in all countries in the coming days, so that owners of a Sony Xperia Z2 that has not yet received an update will have to wait for the notification that will inform them of the availability of this new file.
According to the first comments from users who have already been able to try this update, the main novelties that can be seen in the Sony Xperia Z2 after installing this file are summarized in a better response in the double-touch system to unlock. Recall that the double-tap to unlock system is a feature of the Sony Xperia Z2 that allows you to unlock the screen with two simple quick touches on the screen.
This new update has been detected in the United States, so it is most likely that European users will still have to wait a few weeks to start receiving the same file. The notification that the update is already available occurs through a notification inside the terminal, although it should also be remembered that there are other ways to check if a smartphone has an update available for download. These two ways consist of:
- Manually check the availability of the update from the mobile. In the case of the Sony Xperia Z2, all we have to do to download an update manually is to enter the Settings application, click on the " About device " section and choose the "System update " option. From this section we can know if there is an update available for download.
- Check the availability of the update from the computer. This second method requires us to install on our computer a program called PC Companion (http://www.sonymobile.com/es/tools/pc-companion/), which allows us to both check the availability of updates and install the files on the mobile using a USB - microUSB cable.
If we take a look at the most recent updates of the Sony Xperia Z2 we will see that the last one, corresponding to the name of 17.1.1.A.0.402, brought a very interesting novelty: the possibility of uninstalling the Facebook application. Until that moment, users were forced to keep the Facebook application on their mobile even if they did not use it since it could not be uninstalled like any conventional program.
