Sprint HTC 10 Update

[Eclectech]

The software version for my Sprint HTC 10 is currently 1.24.651.3, but the unlocked version is at least at 1.53.617.5, as of this writing. Is there anything I can do to catch up to my unlocked brethren, or am I hopelessly at the mercy of my carrier? I certainly would love to take advantage of the camera enhancements the newer version offers. Nevertheless, I managed to get some great pics on the green today at the golf course.

Short of switching to a GSM carrier and buying an unlocked phone, I don't think there's much you can do.

I'm right there with you. It always seemed like Sprint did ok with updates. I really hope they get it out soon. How many phones will come back because of issues that this update fixes?

 

[RobDogOne]

Any idea when we can expect this update?

I haven't been able to find any information about this update. I've checked in the Sprint forums and all over.

Aww man. Where's the Sprint update!? lol

Same story for every phone... People buy carrier versions and then complain where's my update because unbranded version has the latest.

Sounds like folks are just having a conversation to me. I didn't have the option of buying the unlocked 10. If I had, I would have.

I really don't think the updates will take very long.
I'm not sure how quick Sprint has been but T-Mobile's been very fast with the s7's.

Someone asked him about that in the tweet thread and he said it was coming soon. I'm honestly shocked that Verizon got it first. Like -I might have to take a day off of work to recuperate- kind of shocked.

Yeah I'm pretty shocked too. Thanks for the heads up. Earlier today when I checked his Twitter, he hadn't said anything yet.

Could be Verizon released the update first because it launched with them. I think I'm correct?
Customers have had it in their hands longer than tmo and spr to cover issues...idk.

That's what I was thinking. They got the phone first so it does make sense they're first in line for the update.

Yes, after what seemed like an eternity (a month), we have been granted access to software version 1.80.651.1
