And today, many months later, the carrier and the manufacturer have finally rectified their error, for an update to Android 2.2 Froyo has become available for MetroPCS' Huawei Ascend.
The update can be performed in no less than three different ways. First off, via an app (that's nifty and not something we usually hear) that you can find in MetroPCS' Android app market. Once the app is installed, just run it and it will update your phone.
Alternatively, you can update your Ascend using a computer, by downloading the update to it, and then transferring it over to the phone and installing it.
And finally, you can just go to your nearest MetroPCS store and have someone there update your phone for you.
Loads of options indeed. There are important things you need to know before you attempt the update though, such as the fact that all the data currently on your device will be erased. To get all the necessary info needed to safely update your handset, and to download the update files in case you decide to update via a computer, just head on over to this handy page that MetroPCS has put up. It explains, in painstaking detail, what benefits you get from upgrading, what you need to do – basically everything you need to know is there waiting for you.
