Android 4.0.3 ICS for HTC EVO 3D Goes Live at Vodafone Australia


Two weeks ago, Australian carrier Vodafone confirmed approval for Google’s Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update for HTC EVO 3D.

Even though we’ve been expecting the operator to announce a timeframe for the rollout, Vodafone needs to push an intermediary Android 4.0.3 ICS update for HTC EVO 3D, before it can bump the phone’s software to version 4.0.4.

Today, Vodafone Australia has announced that an Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich update is available for HTC EVO 3D owners. Keep in mind that the platform upgrade is only available for HTC EVO 3D handsets sold by Vodafone in Australia.

Although the carrier does not mention the size of the update, it does say that it’s available via HTC’s Firmware over the air (FOTA) platform.

According to Vodafone Australia, “this is a platform upgrade and will introduce a number of new features and enhancements. Some menu items have moved and the user interface has been refreshed.”

Those who want more details on the changes added by Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich should know that the update brings the following new features and improvements:

- Numerous bug fixes and optimizations;
- Improvements to graphics, databases, spell-checking and Bluetooth functionality;
- New APIs for developers, including a social stream API in the Contacts provider;
- Calendar provider enhancements;
- New camera apps enhancing video stabilization and QVGA resolution;
- Accessibility refinements such as improved content access for screen readers
.

Obviously, this won’t be the last update the HTC EVO 3D will see at Vodafone Australia. We expect HTC and Google to start the rollout of the Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the EVO 3D in the following weeks.

However, it will be interesting to see if the Taiwanese handset maker will offer an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the future. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
