Motorola Droid Bionic Receiving Minor OTA Update To Build 5.9.905, Improves LTE Connectivity And Bluetooth Sound Quality

Posted by in Bionic, News, Verizon Wireless

Verizon just started pushing a small OTA update to the Droid Bionic that brings a few small enhancements to the device:

  • Recalibrated volume of the call connect and disconnect tones to be more comfortable for Bluetooth® users.
  • Improved Visual Voice Mail to ensure delivery of a notification to the Status bar.
  • Reduced data stalls to improve 4G LTE data connectivity

While it's not ICS, hopefully it will fix the LTE issues that users have been experiencing for quite some time. Otherwise, this one's pretty boring.

To grab the update, head into Settings > About phone > System updates.

Small OTA Update (Build 9.4.2.28) Now Rolling Out To The ASUS Transformer Prime, Brings Face Unlock, Bluetooth HDP, And More

Posted by in Eee Pad Transformer Prime, News

ASUS just started pushing a nice little update to the Transformer Prime that brings a number of enhancements to the device:

  • GPS dongle fix & local notification
  • Ethernet UI support to set Ethernet connect policy when screen off
  • Add system bar lock settings for showing/hiding system info
  • Enable Face Unlock feature
  • Support Bluetooth HDP
  • Third party app upgrade
  • Other bug fixes

Hopefully, this update will also bring the performance boost that the Transformer Pad 300 received with its most recent OTA, but we'll have to see. At the time of writing this the update was not available on my TF201, but we have seen confirmation that it is rolling out to some users.

Sony Rolling Out Xperia Mini Pro And Xperia Live With Walkman Android 4.0 OTA, Continuing The 2011 Xperia Line Update Program

Posted by in Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, Xperia Mini / Mini Pro (Smultron / Mango)

Sony may have disappointed by backing out of bringing Ice Cream Sandwich to its PlayStation-certified Xperia Play, but there are still several other Xperia devices out there due an upgrade to Android 4.0. Having recently dealt with the Xperia Arc and Neo, next up is the pint-sized pocket slider, the Xperia Mini Pro. As you might expect, this will include Sony's usual UI customizations, but considering the Xperia Mini Pro's rather unique form factor such additions may be welcome in this case. With many of its QWERTY brethren such as the Droid 4 or Captivate Glide still awaiting Ice Cream Sandwich updates, this makes the Xperia Mini Pro a rare device indeed.

[Update: Rolling Out June 4th] The Verizon 4G Xoom Is Finally Getting Its Official Ice Cream Sandwich Update

Posted by in News, Verizon Wireless, XOOM

Finally, after a bajillion years of waiting, the first Android tablet is finally getting its very own update to Android 4.0, finally. Finally. As some of you may recall, the WiFi model received an ICS update months ago, but the 3G/4G version, which has been plagued with problems since launch, including lack of advertised flash support and an actual 4G modem, is only just now set to get the OTA update.

2012-06-01_13h10_02

The update, thankfully, will be to version 4.0.4, so none of this lagging a few point releases behind. The update should be rolling out "soon", so if it follows Verizon's usual rollouts for the device, Xoom LTE owners should expect to see it anywhere between now and a week or so from now.

HTC Publishes Official, Detailed List Of Phones To Get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Updates

Posted by in Desire HD (Ace), EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO Design 4G, HTC, Incredible 2 (Vivow), Incredible S (Vivo), Rezound, Rhyme, Sensation / Sensation 4G (Pyramid), Sensation XE, Sensation XL, Thunderbolt (Mecha), Vivid

The title should make this one obvious. HTC has published a brand-new list of its devices to get Android 4.0, but the difference between this one and previous lists is the level of detail. Most phones have a target OTA deployment range of 2 months, significantly more precise than the typical "quarterly" guestimates we see manufacturers publish generally. Here's the list:

DROID Incredible 2 by HTC: To be determined (by the end of August)

HTC Amaze 4G: May-June

HTC Desire S: June-July

HTC Desire HD: July-August

HTC EVO 3D: June-July

HTC EVO 4G+: May-June

HTC EVO Design 4G: June-July

HTC Incredible S: June-July

HTC Sensation: March-June

HTC Sensation 4G: March-June

HTC Sensation XE: March-June

HTC Sensation XL: April-Jun

HTC Rezound: June-July

HTC Rhyme: June-July

HTC Thunderbolt: July-August

HTC Velocity 4G: March-June

HTC Vivid: March-June

A few notable absentees include the Inspire 4G (which is a Desire HD variant), EVO 4G, EVO Shift 4G, myTouch 4G, Status, and Wildfire S - though most of those weren't expected to get the update in the first place.
