Sprint Overdrive – New Firmware Upgrade
Sprint have fixed a number of important issues with the Overdrive with the release of a new firmware upgrade.
Version 2.06.06 of the software brings enhancements and fixes to WiFi and 3G / 4G network connections. Other improvements in the latest Sprint Overdrive firmware update include an increase in battery life of 10% and a much faster boot-up time – it’s up to now twenty seconds faster.
The Overdrive can also now be switched between 3G and 4G networks without a reboot.
Sprint 4G Overdrive – Firmware Update
Another firmware update (1.07) has been released by Sprint for the Sprint Overdrive. The update promises to bring:
* Better Wi-Fi usage and throughput, especially when used with devices with a power save mode like the iPhone, iPod Touch and Windows XP.
* More stable downloads over 3G connections.
* Fixes to the Wi-Fi driver to prevent freezing & crashing.
Sprint 4G Firmware Update for Overdrive
Sprint 4G have announced a firmware update for the Overdrive 4G modem. The new update (FW 1.06) improves the modem’s performance in these areas:
* Better 4G signal acquisition
* Improved battery status indicator
* Addresses inability to browse the Internet when connected to 4G
That last point seems pretty crucial :-) The Overdrive firmware update can be downloaded from Sprint 4G.
