If you're the proud owner of the HTC EVO 3D, you will be happy to know Sprint will be rolling out a security update for your device.

According to Sprint, the security update will include “security improvements," but they do not go into detail as to what the security updates include. On October 27, Sprint will start to automatically push the security update (version 2.08.651.3), to the 3D talented smartphone in stages and will take about 20 minutes to download and install.

So you can either sit back and wait until Sprint reaches you for the update. Or if your impatient like me, you can check to see if you can manually update you're EVO 3D a couple days early by following Sprints instructions below.
