Sprint Centro 1.07 Software Update

July 23, 2008 /


Palm has released a software update for the Sprint edition of the Palm Centro smartphone. This update is designed only for the Sprint device.

According to the Palm website, the 1.07 software includes several enhancements:

  • Improved Gmail IMAP compatibility
  • Updated compatibility for Google Mobile Maps My Location feature
  • Improved ongoing delivery of email sent to VersaMail accounts viaExchange ActiveSync
  • Bluetooth usability enhancements and updates
  • Sprint TV performance enhancements
  • Enhanced AOL Instant Messenger performance
  • Improved performance when adding a contact using Mobile Voice Control
  • Improved email attachment handling
  • Changed default camera shutter sound to “ON.” Audible shutter “click” will be heard
  • Allows Preferred Roaming List updates over the air

Before applying this update, I recommend that you back up your device either by performing a HotSync operation with your computer or by using a backup application, like Alex Pruss’ free NVBackup application.

This software update can not be undone, even by means of a hard reset. Make sure that you are ready to commit to the update before applying it.

    Worked great on my Centro! Sprint mobile mail kept causing resets after the upgrade (I used NVBackup to backup and restore everything) but I solved that by removing and then adding back my e-mail profile.Google maps looks and works great! (You do need to download the latest version though, as the ROM update just enables the MyLocation feature and does NOT include the version of Google Maps that does). Blazer now says “processing” before it starts instead of just showing the blank screen. Cant really attest to the audio improvements but everything seems to work fine so far.
