The LG Spectrum (Verizon’s version of LG Optimus LTE) will receive a VS920ZV6 software update. And it isn’t going to make your device run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, sadly. But it does bring with it many enhancements, and as such we recommend you apply it as soon as possible.

The update naturally is of the over-the-air variety – no computer needed to download and install it. If you manually check for updates, it should be there waiting for you even if your device hasn’t yet notified you that it’s available. The software is about 130MB, estimated download and install time is 10 minutes. Full instructions for performing the update are available here.
