EVO 4G Software Upgrade Available for Download OTA (Not Froyo)
|
Last week, a rumor began swirling by way of BGR regarding a new update that Sprint and HTC would be pushing out OTA to fix several more issues with the HTC EVO 4G. Specifically, WiFi fixes, changes to Exchange ActiveSync behavior, and fixes for Facebook sync features were said to be addressed with this update.
It’s June 28th now, and sure enough that OTA has made its way to EVO 4Gs this morning. The update is versioned 1.47.651.1 and is a meager 21.43MB in size. You can wait for the device to notify you to download the update, or do it manually by heading into Settings > System Updates.

did my Evo update myself and have no issues to report. Don’t wait for the push, do it yourself
I tried to do it manually and I’m told that no update is available.
Still can’t get it on my EVO, seems to be a gradual update. Damn it Sprint, I want my updates!
Just updated in about 15 mins as well. Seems to be smoother.Jinx was correct about it messing up the icons. My battery widget and you tube icon and daily task widget were the only ones effected. My wifi seems to be slightly better as well. The wifi analyzer used to read around -80 and now reads -73 in my bedroom upstairs farthest away from the router.
Does this update break root at all.
For me, it fixed the issue with the top of the screen not working when the phone isn’t grounded.
Installed here in WV and a few nice surprises that I’ve noticed:
WiFi signal strength is much better
Screen seems much more sensitive. Responds quicker.
Photo gallery slides through pics much quicker and displays in better resolution (used to have to zoom to update rez)
I’m sure there will be more to come that I haven’t noticed yet.
One negative thing is it messes up third party widgets – just drag them to remove and re-place them on your screens. If you are reading this before you install, you might want to make note of what icons are where (or take screenshots)… I replaced all of mine but still have one that I cant remember what it is.
So far my experience has been very pleasing.
Just downloaded it.. took about 15min to download then install. we shall see if there is any differences
Getting it right now.
I’m sure the input lag is still there
