Who remembers HTC’s Droid Incredible 4G LTE? Well, Verizon finally has. The operator has at last posted the official update documents for its first major maintenance upgrade in just under two years. The paperwork reveals that update version 2.19.605.2710RD is scheduled to bring some new applications, as well as a truckload of stability improvements, security patches, bug fixes and speed optimizations.
HTC doesn’t normally update devices once they’ve reached a certain age — usually because they’re not powerful enough for the latest Android software — but it appears to be making an exception for the 2010 Verizon Droid Incredible. Don’t get too excited, it’s not getting Jelly Bean, but it is getting a much-needed fix to kill a random reboot issue.
A new Droid Incredible might be on its way to Verizon Wireless, a spy shot of Verizon’s internal systems has revealed. The ‘Droid Incredible 4G’ has been in the rumor-mill for quite sometime and might finally be making its way on to Verizon’s network as the newest Droid. However, no official specs or release date have been shared.
Last month we reported the good news that all HTC devices released after September of 2011 would have unlockable bootloaders. While that was all fine and dandy, it didn’t ease the pangs of users sporting pre-September 2011 devices. Luckily HTC has not abandoned support for its older devices and continues to update the HTCdev site.
