In May 2011, AT&T issued an update allowing unknown sources to be installed, which allows users to sideload applications. On 25 July 2011 AT&T issued Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, HTC Sense 2.1, and various fixes to the phone.[7]

In the xda-developers forum, user software is available for the device with Android 4.4.4 via Cyanogenmod 11.
Original specs pointed out the existence of HSUPA to enhance the upload speeds under the 3G network, but as early adopters inquired about slow upload connections, AT&T replied that the Inspire 4G is not HSUPA capable.[9] However, the Inspire 4G is fully capable of HSUPA, but it was disabled by AT&T for unknown reasons.[10] By 30 April 2011 AT&T issued an over the air (OTA) update enabling HSUPA for the HTC Inspire 4G.
