Planned maintenance updates for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G and 4G Slide bring mostly fixes

HTC devices such as the Sensation and Vivid are finally getting in with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, thanks to some recently available software updates, but that doesn’t mean older HTC handsets are left out of the loop in terms of general updates.

Well, if you happen to own either the T-Mobile myTouch 4G or 4G Slide, devices that have been around for quite some time now, you’ll be pleased to find upcoming maintenance updates headed your way. Basically, they brings the software of these Gingerbread devices to version 2.32.531.1, and for the most part, it should comfort those who are still dreaming about the possibility of Ice Cream Sandwich.

For the T-Mobile myTouch 4G, the new software’s contents include a Google security update, new version of the Swype keyboard, and some software improvements. Meanwhile, the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slides gets treated to pretty much the same items, but owners can also expect improvements to Wi-Fi calling, the Genius Button, and the Netflix app experience. Currently, the maintenance update is rolling out to the myTouch 4G starting today, while the myTouch 4G Slide will see its update starting on March 19^th.

Indeed, it’s nothing that’s going to dramatically stir up the experience on each device, but nonetheless, we’re certain that handset owners will still appreciate the continuing efforts to keep both devices up to snuff.
