If no new software is available, it’s possible that you may not have enough free memory on
your device. If your Xperia™ device has less than 500 MB of free internal memory available,
you do not receive any information about new software. In this case, you receive a warning
in the Notification panel: “Storage space running out. Some system functions may not
work.” If you receive this notification, you must free up internal memory to get notifications
about new available software.
Updating Your Device Wirelessly
Use the Software update application to update your device software wirelessly. The
updates you can download over a cellphone network depend on your service
provider. It is recommended to use a Wi-Fi network instead of a cellphone network
to download new software so you can avoid data traffic costs.
