Like Verizon and its Samsung Galaxy S III, Sprint has started upgrading its HTC EVO 4G LTE smartphone to the latest major iteration of the Android OS, called Jelly Bean. The update includes a bump from Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with Sense 4.0 to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 4.0+. Those who want to upgrade immediately need to do so manually by going to Settings > System Updates > HTC software update > Check now. Otherwise, subscribers of the Now Network can wait for it to be pushed out over-the-air in phases within the next few weeks. You can view the changelog below.
