14 DAY TRIAL // Galaxy S5, the latest flagship Android-based handset from South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics, was supposed to receive an update on launch day, though it seems that wireless carriers out there were late with its release.
Sprint is one of them, as the operator has started to push the new software version to its Galaxy S5 users only today, roughly two weeks after the official release.
According to a thread on the XDA-Developers Forum, some users are already receiving the update, though no official word on its release has come from Sprint.
However, considering the fact that these updates are usually pushed out in stages, it might take a while before the software lands on all Galaxy S5 units on Sprint’s network, that’s for sure.
As Android Police notes, Samsung has already unveiled that the new software version was meant to resolve a series of issues with the phone’s camera, as well as some problems with the alarm and email apps.
The initial ROM included a bug that prevented users from opening the camera application while they were engaged in a voice call. There were also issues with deleting alarms, and some related to moving emails between folders.
The new update should arrive on devices over the air as a 41MB download. Users can check on their handsets for its availability by heading to Settings > About Phone > Software Updates.
