Verizon Droid Charge receiving ED2 system udpate

| May 14, 2011 13:35 UTC | 0 comments | source

Samsung and Verizon Wireless have started pushing out an update to the DROID Charge. The ED2 update should go out as an over-the-air update, and shouldn’t take long to download since it is only 5.2MB. This is only a minor release, with the following changes:

  • A software change was made to the Media Hub application to prevent downloading content over the 3G network. This application will only work in the 4G network or when using Wi-Fi to ensure quality and speed.
  • A pop up message was added to the Media Hub application to inform customers of the size of the download when in a 4G coverage area before downloading.

Kind of rare that you see a software update remove some functionality.

More of the update here.

iOS receiving Over the Air updates in the fall?

| May 5, 2011 12:09 UTC | 0 comments | source

According to several sources close to Apple, iOS will receive over the air updating soon. Apple has been working together with Verizon Wireless on this. Over the Air updates are currently used by Android, Windows Phone, Symbian and webOS. iOS is the only big player who is still lacking over the air updates.

To get this to work, Apple will need to use incremental updates. Currently, every time a new OS version is released, a users needs to download a file of over 600MB. A 600MB file is something that operators do not want to deliver via their network, and therefore they will need to bring smaller updates.

There is currently no word if this will be available internationally, or just with Verizon Wireless.
