Rise and shine HTC EVO 3D owners, we’ve got some great news for you today. According to reports online, owners of the phone have started receiving the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update today. While you won’t get Sense 4.0, the update should bring your the device up to date with all the latest Android features (excluding features from Jelly Bean, of course). Be sure to check out our post on Ice Cream Sandwich to find out what’s new on your phone.
For those of you who didn’t receive any notification, you can try manually calling for it via the Android settings menu, or you can just wait for it patiently. As usual, be sure to back up your device so you don’t lose any important data just in case anything goes wrong. It’s even recommended that you wait a few days to see what other people think of the update before you put it on your phone. After all, Android updates have been known to mess up perfectly usable devices before. But if you do get the update today – let us know how it goes for you.

It’s official: we can finally add Sprint’s three-dimensional EVO to that endeavoring list of slabs running Ice Cream Sandwich. According to multiple tipsters, and promptly confirmed by The Now Network’s legitimate support page, Google’s ICS assortment is now being delivered OTA — a wee bit earlier than expected, no less — to the now-discontinued HTC EVO 3D. As we could imagine, the tasty software update brings previously known features to the 4.3-inch device, including folders, improved browser, resizable widgets and the crowd-pleasing Face Unlock method. Needless to say, Sprint certainly took its sweet time to dish out the long-awaited 4.0 nuggets — but better late than never, right?
