Verizon kicks off Android 2.2 rollout for the HTC DROID Incredible

Friday 27 August 2010 @ 10:42 am

Verizon has started pushing out the Android 2.2 update for the DROID Incredible, making it the second HTC handset in the U.S. to reveive the new update.   The new Froyo update will include Adobe Flash Player 10.1, 720p video recording, 801.11n Wi-Fi, 270 degree screen rotation, 3G Mobile Hotspot, batter improvements, and some new and improved email and sms widgets for HTC Sense.   We still have not received any confirmations from any of our readers that the Android 2.2 has hit their handsets yet, but we’re pretty sure they should start rolling in any minute now. 

Typical OTA updates take a week or two to hit every single device, but if you’re not willing to wait that long, keep in mind there are a few tricks to get your update a little sooner.  Our favorite one is to simply change the date on your handset.  Manually bumping up your handset’s date by a week or two should automatically trigger the update. 

For more details about the Froyo update for the HTC DROID Incredible, Verizon has put together a list of benefits and installation instructions.  Let us know how things go. With Froyo installed, the DROID Incredible should be a little more… incredible.  Sorry, we just couldn’t resist.
