Droid 4 software update now available – battery and performance improvements

The update for the Motorola Droid 4 that we told you was on its way has just landed. The 18 MB update will bring your Droid 4 up to build 6.13.219. As we previously said, this particular update will not give you Ice Cream Sandwich, but does contain a number of improvements.

The official change log says:

Device Features

Enhanced loud call end and connect tones over Bluetooth.®
Power On function has been fixed.
Improved battery life.
Improvements made to reduce touch screen lockups, device sluggishness and blank screen lockups.
