you have to use Update Service or PC Companion or on your phone

settings -> about phone -> Software update

if it's available on your country and/or network you should be able to install it

if not, you can read the steps above to manually update your phone

Re: Xperia Mini 2.3.4 Update 4.0.1.A.0.283

uliwooly-wooly — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:06:26 GMT

it might get heated faster because you have multiple things running, like syncing more accounts

or something could've gone wrong

you can use

Update Service to repair it
