Verizon Wireless will soon push a software update to the plum colored HTC Rhyme. Unfortunately, it won’t bring Ice Cream Sandwich, but a number of bug fixes and improvements, instead. Here’s what software version 2.20.605.3 710RD brings to the table:
Device Features
- “Ringtones” has been replaced with “Edit Home” when the Menu key is pressed on the home screen.
- Updated signal strength meter to 5 bar Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI).
- Mobile networks no longer disabled when using Power Saver.
- Device is enabled with the Wireless Alerting System.
Device Dock Features
- Default applications in Dock Mode have been changed to “Phone” and “Calendar”.
- In-call volume control has been added to Dock Mode.
- “All Apps” option has been added to Dock Mode.
- Resolved issue of dock volume changing to 20%.
Applications & Widgets
- Device displays available music on the device and provides an option to purchase ringtones from the MOD application when a user is attempting to set a new ringtone through a prepopulated list.
- Mail shortcut now shows unread mail count
We’ve no idea when the update will go live and can only hope that will happen sooner rather than later…
