Yesterday, the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update for the Sony Xperia Z2 and the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet began to be distributed. Although the distribution of this update was worldwide, some users began to report an error that prevented them from fully downloading this new version from their mobile or tablet. Now, the Japanese company Sony has started to distribute the update via OTA again, which means that it can be downloaded and installed directly from the Sony Xperia Z2 and the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet.
The update responds to the numbering of 23.0.1.A.0.167, and occupies an approximate space of 313.8 MegaBytes. This Android 4.4.4 KitKat update for Sony's Xperia Z2 range not only brings with it the new features of this version of Android (mainly performance improvements and security fixes), but also incorporates new features from Sony. Ente these innovations is the compatibility with the application of PS4 Remote Controller, new camera modes (imported from the application of camera of the Sony Xperia Z3) A new Ultra STAMINA battery saving mode, and a new option to record the screen.
Therefore, the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update for the Sony Xperia Z2 and Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet can now be downloaded without using a computer. The steps to follow to download and install this update are as follows:
- Due to the large space that this update occupies, it is best to download it using WiFi connectivity. In addition, also it advised more than 70% battery before starting the process to avoid the risk of terminal blocks. Once we meet both requirements, we move on to the next point.
- We enter the Settings application of our Sony Xperia Z2 or Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet.
- Click on the " About the device " section.
- Click on the option " Software updates " and wait for the terminal to update the availability of the operating system versions. In the event that no file is shown to us, click on the arrow icon that appears at the top of the screen. It is also important that we make sure we are checking the " System " tab within the " Software updates " option, since this is where the operating system updates appear.
- Once we are viewing the update, click on the date icon pointing down and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The update may take several minutes (the slower our Internet connection, the longer it will take to download the update), so it is best to follow this procedure only when we are sure that we can be disconnected from the mobile phone or tablet during a few minutes.
