Maintenance Rollout For The Evo 4G Coming Soon

With hopeful eyes we read the amazing news of the HTC Evo's next maintenance upgrade coming in the next 10-14 days, just wishing to catch wind of a fix for the "Sense Loading Issue" that everyone loves so much. Unfortunately, the changelog made no mention of our little issue and that might be a good or bad thing... As for what was fixed, it was a pretty good list of issues -

HTC EVO Software Update - 4.53.651.1
Enhancements/Fixes:
- Integrated voice recognition accuracy with voice search and voice-to-text
- Image size issue with contact transfer over bluetooth
- Images cut off in Picasa
- Group contacts not in alphabetical order
- Out of memory, Unable to send SMS

Of these, obviously the voice recognition is the biggest issue, but the Picasa upload issue has been plaguing users for some time now as well. We can't recall ever sending a contact over bluetooth, but we're sure that's appreciated too. Recently, we've had a few days of network errors and Unable to send SMS problems, but that was probably either tower maintenance or just the network being busier than normal due to things like the east coast earthquake on Tuesday.

The rollout is expected sooner than later on this one as Sprint is probably going to make this the last update before ending the EVO's run in the next two months.


Important Notes:
- The new software version is: 4.53.651.1
- This update will be released in stages to devices over the next 1-2 weeks.  When manually trying to initiate the update, you may receive a message  that no update is available.  Please be patient and check back later, or you may wait until the update is automatically sent to your device.
- Refer to the HTC EVO Software Update blog for install instructions.

Remember, root users, if you are rooted, this may delete the root feature from your device. If you are not rooted, you should receive the notice to update soon if you don't want to manually do it yourself.
