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.

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE customers will be happy to know an update is being pushed out to not only fix the ongoing Google Wallet issues, but to also fix a variety of other pesky bugs.

When the mega-hit game Temple Run launched on Android, people jumped at the chance to play this highly addicting endless running game. In fact, Temple Run was downloaded a whopping 1 million times in just three days. Unfortunately, the excitement didn’t last very long for some users (including myself) due to random crashes.

Thankfully the team at Imangi Studios heard the cries of anxious adventurers and quickly pushed out an update.
