HTC EVO 3D retired from Sprint’s lineup
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSprintEVO 3D
While we mentioned the other day that the HTC EVO 3D was part of Amazon’s penny sale until the end of the month, it looks like glasses-free 3D handset has gone missing elsewhere – Sprint’s website.
It makes sense considering the EVO 4G LTE’s debut is just around the corner, but it is interesting that it was just here one day, gone the next. The folk over at Android Police reached out to Sprint to find out what happened to the Android device. Sprint responded by saying,

Virgin Mobile rumored to be getting HTC EVO 3D; will offer it as the HTC EVO V 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
Who says that pre-paid carriers don't offer interesting phones. Recently, it was announced that Virgin Mobile would be getting the HTC One V and now a reliable source for PocketNow says that Sprint will be handing off the HTC EVO 3D to its pre-paid cousin. Virgin is expected to offer the stereoscopic handset as the HTC EVO V 4G.
The HTC EVO 3D still has some compelling specs today, with a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor under the hood with 1GB of RAM. The 4.3 inch screen offers qHD resolution and the dual-lens 5MP camera on back lets you snap 3D pictures. The unit is one of two glasses-free 3D smartphones in the States and will continue to offer 4G hotspot functionality.

HTC Reveals Which Devices Will Unwrap Ice Cream Sandwich

Do you own a Droid Incredible 2 by HTC? If so, you can expect a future update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). The same applies to the HTC Amaze 4G, Desire S, Desire HD, and a dozen other smartphones HTC has confirmed will be upgraded to ICS. Unfortunately, HTC didn't provide specific dates for any of the planned upgrades, so you'll have to settle for warm fuzzies from simply knowing your device is the list.

HTC EVO 3D update removes Carrier IQ
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSprintEVO 3D
Last week, Sprint rolled out an update to its HTC EVO 3D handset but what many people didn’t know was the upgrade removed the controversial software Carrier IQ. Before this upgrade, The Now Network was reported to having somewhere north of 26 million devices carrying Carrier IQ, so this maintenance update shrinks that number down some. Sprint has 15 other devices carrying the diagnostic analysis software and most people don’t expect them to remove it from those handsets. Carrier IQ may have gotten a bad rep from all of the negative publicity its received over the last few months. The company’s job isn’t to dominate the world, it’s only to aggregate, analyze, and deliver data to wireless carr...

Sprint's HTC Evo 3D gets a small update [It's not Ice Cream Sandwich]
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
Sprint released a small firmware update for the HTC Evo 3D. “Small” obviously doesn’t include Ice Cream Sandwich and I guess we’ll have to wait for another month or so to see Android 4.0 rolling out for the 3D smartphone.
The new software version comes with some improvements under the hood that improve the battery life and the overall security of the device. Moreover, there’s the updated Peep client (to align with Twitter).
By the time you’re reading this, you may’ve been already prompted to update. If not – don’t worry, Sprint said every Evo 3D owner will get the new firmware in the next 5 days.

HTC details Android 4.0 ICS upgrade for 8 smartphones

Many have wondered what HTC's plans are when it comes to upgrading its existing Android smartphones to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, as the manufacturer has said that it was still evaluating the new operating system and how it fits with HTC's custom Sense interface that it likes to use. Now, those questions have found answers, as HTC has announced a list of eight smartphones that will get Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades in 2012.
The company says that in addition to the just-released HTC Vivid, which is apparently ready for Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, and HTC Amaze 4G are all planned to get...

HTC Sensation and EVO 3D revealed to be spying on users
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4GEVO 3D
First Apple, Google and Microsoft were accused of tracking user locations and now it appears HTC’s Sensation and EVO 3D smartphones are spying on their owners. According to user TrevE from InfectedROM, a recent Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread update from HTC added a little something special to the source code of Carrier IQ (CIQ), an Android component. CIQ is not new; it is part of Android and used on most devices to send data back to carriers about your smartphone. However, the source code on the EVO 3D and Sensation reportedly now has a “User Behavior Logging” function that is capable of tracking how Sensation and EVO 3D owners use their smartphones in greater detail. Read on for more.

HTC Evo 3D available for $50 from Wirefly
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
If you’re on a market looking for some “3D smart” action, you probably want the HTC Evo 3D. Sprint is still selling the WiMAX-enabled device for $199.99, while third-party phone sellers are asking for about $100 less, along with a two-year contract. Now Wirefly decided to go one step further, slashing the Evo 3D’s price to $50! Of course, putting your signature on the same two-year agreements is required, but that’s like given these days.
As you most likely know, HTC’s baby rocks a 4.3-inch glasses-free 3D touchscreen with qHD (540×960 pixels) resolution, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, two 5-megapixel cameras on the back, front-facing camera for video calls, EV-DO Rev. A (where WiMAX is not ava...

White HTC EVO 3D gets exclusive RadioShack bow on September 9th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
If Wall-E's lady friend, Eve, and Spielberg's E.T. were to come together in engineering matrimony, we're pretty sure this white EVO 3D would be the resulting offspring. This "rare and beautiful" unicorn from HTC's beastly, dual-core Android herd hails from the Hesse-led network, and will be available as a RadioShack exclusive on September 9th. The electronics retailer dipped more than just its toes into our 21st century ways (or more likely hired a new intern), getting the message out via its Twitter account, and snapping an Instagram shot of the bleached handset. Pricing for the phone has yet to be announced, but we'd be surprised if this gets a premium over its $199 on-contract twin.

HTC Releases Evo 3D Bootloader Unlock Tool
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3DEVO 3D GSM
It’s only been a few days since HTC got its bootloader unlock tool up and running, but unfortunately it was only made available to owners of the European/international version of the HTC Sensation. Obviously that didn’t do a lot to help our American hackers get what they want. But today, HTC threw some love our way making the bootloader unlock tool available to owners of the HTC Evo 3D, according to HTC’s Facebook page.
If you’re interested in a little Evo customization, head on over to HTC Dev for instructions. You’ll have to download the next update, which will come over the air. And just in case you’re a noob, it’s only fair that I warn you: unlocking the bootloader on your phone voids a...

HTC EVO 3D and Motorola PHOTON 4G $99 at Amazon with free activation until tomorrow
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCMotorolaEVO 3DPHOTON 4G
Two of the best Android handsets money can currently buy in the US - the HTC EVO 3D and the Motorola PHOTON 4G - got lowered to $99 on Amazon for new contracts.
What's more, until midnight today, your activation fee for Sprint is waived as well, which makes the deal $36 sweeter.
We can't argue with the phrase that good things come to those who wait, but in this case you might have to wait for the holiday season for these two handsets to become free on contract, so if you have been eying one of them, now might be the time to pull the trigger.

It's been just a few short days since HTC made the bootloader unlock tool available for European versions of its Sensation smartphone, but now owners of the EVO 3D on Sprint can join the party as well. The unlocking tool for the EVO 3D has been made available on HTC's developer website. It requires that users download the latest over-the-air software update for their phones, and it will, of course, void any and all warranties. Cue the custom ROM explosion for the EVO 3D in 3..2..1..

Vodafone axes EVO 3D before it even hits shelves
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
Keen-eyed observers, or those who registered to be notified about the EVO 3D, may have noticed a sudden dearth of glasses-free 3D phones coming to Vodafone. Apparently, the British carrier's execs are not the patient type. After several delays, Vodafone has decided to simply ax the handset rather than wait out HTC's supply issues, and has removed it from the company's "Coming Soon" page. Lets just hope its customers are a bit more understanding -- especially those who signed up to get first-crack at the now canceled phone.

HTC to unlock bootloader for Sensation 4G, EVO 3D by September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4GEVO 3D
HTC took to its Facebook page last night to update fans on the status of the unlocked bootloaders that it promised, back in May, would be coming. According to the new info, a few of HTC's top-tier smartphones should be getting unlocked bootloaders as early as September.
HTC says that unlocking the bootloader on phones, which allows users to install custom operating system software and make other tweaks, is a complicated process and requires a lot of testing to make sure that the phones work properly after being updated with an unlocked bootloader. The complexity of unlocking the bootloader is the reason why HTC has yet to do so on a number of its phones, even though it announced its new poli...
