Over the Air Update Process

XperiaBlog.net posted screenshots on the process of updating your Sony Xperia Tablet S via OTA or Over-the-Air process.

1. A notifications prompt should appear once the device is connected to the Internet with a new update. If not, go to the "Software update" section of the tablet's settings menu.

2. Read the description of the update which should include Android 4.1.1 (release2) and requirement of more than 300MB free storage space. If your Xperia Tablet S doesn't have enough internal storage, uninstall unnecessary applications or transfer data files to a computer.

3. Before updating, make sure to backup all your personal settings and data files then have the device connected to its AC power. Normally, Sony products require at least 50 per cent battery level to perform any updates.

4. Confirm the download process of the update and installation. Do not interrupt the installation procedure.
