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.
