It seems that Verizon wants to squash those pesky bugs that have been reported with the Samsung Droid Charge. Shortly after the device was launched, it received its first software update (version ED2) at 5.2MB which was to solely resolve an issue with the Samsung Media Hub app.
Now a second over-the-air software update (version EE4) at 9.9MB is being rolled out to fix a host of issues, including improved call quality, better battery life, visual voice mail, email folder enhancements, improved GPS performance, and to resolve the issues with the Mobile Hotspot app. Most importantly, the new software is also said to improve the detection of Verizon's 4G and 3G network and also enhance web browser performance, both of which we had issues with during our review, as the device would always drop from 4G to 3G service (even though our area is 4G) and web sites with a lot of Flash would cause the browser to freeze. Unfortunately, we'll have to keep waiting for Android 2.3 Gingerbread to come to the Samsung Droid Charge.
