Sprint have begun sending out their first ‘over the air’ update for their HTC Hero handset. Before Hero owners get too excited, the update is just a maintenance and not the highly anticipated Android 2.0 Eclair update.
Weighing in at 3748377 bytes, the OTA update is reported to fix a number of SMS related issues which impacted battery usage, along with a fix to enable the device to function properly with DST.
If you’re a Sprint HTC Hero owner and haven’t yet received the update, then you can initiate the OTA transfer by going to Settings -> About -> System Updates -> then hit Firmware Update, and follow the prompts.
If you’ve noticed any other fixes, or changes after installing the update, then please let us know in the HTC Hero forum!
