It goes without saying that updates are intended to enhance our phones’ user experience, however the Gingerbread refresh at the Kyocera Echo had precisely the opposite effect. After a small but significant percentage of householders began reporting that the recent software turned their devices into bricks , Sprint pulled the update “until further notice.” After nine days, Android 2.3.4 is once more available for download. Upon reaching out to the Now Network, we received the subsequent confirmation:
Sprint will restart the Gingerbread update to Kyocera Echo users beginning today (August 10). With a view to provide the absolute best customer experience, Kyocera and Sprint have addressed a prior issue with the update raised last week. The Gingerbread update will provide Kyocera Echo users with performance enhancements including faster response, improved power management, enhancements for gaming, and more. Every Echo customer must have the update in the following few weeks.
The update will likely get pushed slowly at the start, getting sent to a small variety of handsets to make doubly sure an analogous issue doesn’t surface again, so don’t stress if it hasn’t reached your Echo today; as is the same old procedure with large-scale rollouts, it is usually a short while before it actually lands in your particular unit. But if it arrives, be happy to download at will with more confidence.
