Samsung Instinct

Sprint has finally rolled out a new software update for the Samsung Instinct. Too bad they don’t push a message out to let you know it’s available. Instead you’ll have to go to Settings –> General –> Update Software. Pretty easy.

This isn’t the BIG update with lots of fixes that I’d hope for, but it’s setting the ground work so that can be rolled out in August or September. There are still a few fixes to get us going though. Here are the details from BAW:

Sprint released an initial update to the Instinct today. This update will not change the behaviours of many of the applications. What it does is update the Samsung ROM - the base code that the applications run on - to prepare the device for application updates starting early in August. Some of the issues fixed include:

* Elimination of issues by where data services are disabled without user preference

* Elimination of NAI corruption upon provisioning if new NAI is shorter than the previous

* Reflect reoccurring calendar appointments

* Improved volume – Bluetooth headsets

* Utilize saved pictures as background image

* Reduce fluctuation in signal bar and other functions related to RF/Network quality

* Eliminate “echo” on conference bridge

The application updates coming in August will make changes to Picture Mail, the web browser, Sprint TV, Sprint Navigation, Sprint Email, Sprint Music Store, Visual Voicemail, Mobile Sync and more. Today’s update prepares the device for these updates.

I just finished installing the update without issue. I’d highly recommend you go ahead and do this for your Instinct as well.
