Motorola Droid 4 is set to receive its first update since the device was first launched on Verizon’s 4G LTE network in February of this year.
The update was originally discovered by Droid-Lifeis set to bring a host of improvements and fixes to Big Red’s iconic smartphone. Chief among these is improved battery life, something that comes with every Android update.
It will also bring fixes for the backlight on the keyboard and improvements in Wi-Fi connectivity.
There’s also a bit more in the 18MB update, and you can see the full list of fixes and improvements below.

3) Select Recovery with the volume up key and press both volume keys when the exclamation mark appears.
4) Go to “Apply update from sdcard”. You’ll want to select this with the device’s power button.
5) Scroll down and select the name of the file you just downloaded. Its name will be ‘Blur_Version.6.13.215.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip’.
