As part of its promise to back away from Carrier IQ on its handsets, Sprint’s latest software update for its Samsung Epic 4G Touch removes it. The EL29 update is also said to bring with it a number of other changes, such as a security update, the activation of the Commercial Alert System, and dismissing multiple calendar alerts.
The phones will be updated to version S:D710.10S.EL29. The update will take 10 days to reach all Epic 4G Touch handsets from Sprint, although it may be possible to speed the update through checking manually. Detailed changes, such as a new phone answer screen are present on the device as well.
