Sprint is rolling out updates for three of its smartphones, including the HTC EVO 4G, HTC Design 4G and Samsung Epic 4G, all of which will hopefully remove the Carrier IQ software (that’s what “Security Update” could be). Here’s what’s included with each device’s firmware update:
HTC EVO 4G
- Security Update
- Updated Peep client (to align with Twitter)
- Battery life improvements
HTC EVO Design 4G
- Security Update
- Updated Peep and Sprint Zone clients
- Battery life improvements
- 3LM Enterprise Tool Access (no user interface changes)
Samsung Epic 4G
- Security update
- Speaker feedback fix
- The QIK and Asphalt 5 applications are no longer preloaded – when tapping on their icons you will be redirected to the Android market to download them from there.
The updates are staged so if you still haven’t been prompted to update, your particular unit may get the new software in the next couple of days. That, however, doesn’t stop you from manually checking – tap Settings -> System update and then check for the new software version from there.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
