HTC Sensation XL getting its Ice Cream Sandwich dessert
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleSensation XLAndroid 4.0
Users of the HTC Sensation XL, mostly in Europe and Asia, have received the Android 4.0 update over the air. To make sure you have received it, go to Settings > About phone > Software updates and hit that button. You will be downloading a 200MB package which means those with a strict data cap might want to wait for a Wi-Fi connection before installing it. The exact build that you will be updating to is Android 4.0.3 while HTC Sense remains at 3.6. This brings users some of the new ICS features like Face Unlock, the new app dock and the multi-tasking menu. What you won't be getting is the new UI found on devices carrying HTC Sense 4.0.

HTC EVO 4G LTE gives it up, gets rooted on its first day on the town (video)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
It's a rite of passage for newly released Android überphones: the inevitable root. Just one day after Sprint managed to get its flagship device out of customs and into subscribers' hands, comes a one-click solution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X users. By running a simple script compiled by XDA member Zedomax, EVO 4G LTE owners will be able to install both busybox and superuser hassle-free, giving them the admin privileges required for nearly unrestricted tinkering. Bear in mind, this underground workaround won't unlock that HTC bootloader, so a future filled with custom ROMs is still slightly out of reach. Ready to claim mastery of your device? Then click on the source below for the requis...

HTC One XL unlikely to land in the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X AT&T
HTC is about to roll out its One XL handset to parts of Europe as it looks to cash in on the 4G market.
According to Vodafone Germany, the One XL will be available from early June, and KnowYourMobile reports that it should make it to the UK soon after.
TechRadar contacted HTC UK, who said "The HTC One XL is a 4G LTE device which we expect will roll out to markets where 4G is supported, but there is no word on it coming to the UK."

AT&T HTC One X bootloader unlocked via command line trickery
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAT&TOne X AT&T
When HTC confirmed to us that it wouldn't be offering an official bootloader unlock solution for the AT&T version of the One X, we assumed that the Android hacking community would step in and find a solution. Twenty days later, that solution is here via a process detailed by grankin01 at xda-developers. The process involves using the command line and a hex editor to trick HTC's tools into believing that the AT&T One X is a Canadian version, thereby allowing the bootloader to be unlocked. Be forewarned that as of right now there isn't a simple script for this process, but instead a twelve-step program during which a typo could brick your device. It probably won't be too long until a simpler a...

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-orders begin shipping to eager subs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
True to its word, Sprint's begun to issue shipping notifications for pre-orders of its beleaguered flagship, the EVO 4G LTE. Word of the impending device arrivals continue to flood our inbox, lending credence to that ambiguous "on or around" May 24th arrival date, no doubt restoring the faith of wary subs. Whether the Hesse-led co. can fulfill backorders of the sought-after Android handset is anyone, but customs' guess. So be it by blood pact, money under the table or the good graces of legal counsel, we're sure all parties involved are working frantically behind-the-scenes to make this handset's roll out an uninterrupted success.

HTC One XL coming to Germany, drags LTE with it
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
In the US, Asia and Australia they've already had their fill of the HTC One XL. But, in Europe, they've had to make do with the lame ol' HSPA+ One X. That is, until now. German carrier Vodafone has announced that it'll be the first to bring the XL home, complete with triband LTE in tow. Just like the American "One X," the new Euro XL ditches the quad-core Tegra 3 for a 1.5GHz dual-core S4, primarily because the NVIDIA solution doesn't support LTE. Though, as an added bonus, we're sure it helps extend the life of that 1,800 mAh cell inside. Vodafone will get the handset first in early June in a nice matte black, while Deutsche Telekom and O2 Germany will score the device later -- potentially ...

HTC Publishes Blissfully Frustrating Android 4.0 Update List
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDesire HDThunderBoltAmaze 4GAndroid 4.0
Good news if you own an Amaze 4G smartphone from HTC. For those of you who do, HTC just released an update to Android 4.0, the latest and greatest open source mobile operating system from Google more deliciously known as Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). Owners of HTC's Thunderbolt and Desire HD smartphones aren't as lucky, having to wait perhaps until August, or longer, receive an ICS upgrade, according to HTC's newly published Android 4.0 roadmap.

HTC Desire C puts Android 4.0 on a 320 x 480 display
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCDesire C
HTC has unveiled the Desire C, an entry-level Android 4.0 smartphone set for a UK release early next month. Sitting just below the well-received One V in HTCs 2012 range, the Desire C features a 3.5-inch QVGA (that's 320 x 480 pixels) display, a 5-megapixel camera, and Beats Audio. There's no word on processor or storage yet, but there'll be 25GB of Dropbox usage included with the device. HTC says it'll come with Sense 4.0, but it's more likely to be the toned down version you'll find on the One V than that of the flagship One S and One X devices.

T-Mobile gives HTC Sensation 4G users an Ice Cream Sandwich treat on May 16, Amaze 4G within weeks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleSensation 4GAndroid 4.0
T-Mobile subscribers waiting on pins and needles for the day their HTC Sensation 4G or Amaze 4G will get its Android 4.0 update don't have to sit so uncomfortably for much longer: the carrier has just narrowed down the timetables considerably. The first wave of owners will get its Ice Cream Sandwich just desserts on May 16th, when Sensation 4G owners can push Android 4.0.3 to their dual-core 2011 flagships. Amaze 4G users have a looser timeframe of the "coming weeks" to dig in. Either circumstance will see HTC slap on Sense 3.6 like it has with other pre-2012 device updates, so don't expect a full One S-like Sense 4.0 experience. Do, however, expect to pay an extra $15 per month for hotspot ...

Message notification bug found on HTC One X; HTC says software fix is coming
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
A small number of HTC One X units are suffering from a message notifications bug which forces the user to open up the messaging application in order to see if there are any new messages. The bug prevents the status bar from showing that a message has been received and also does not allow a badge to show up on the messaging icon on the home screen to alert the phone's user to a message.

HTC EVO 4G LTE release date is May 18, Sprint announces officially
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
Forget all rumors and speculations – the HTC EVO 4G LTE release date is now official. Sprint just announced that the smartphone will be available for purchase starting May 18, just like what most clues indicated. Of course, those of you who have invested $200 in pre-ordering a unit should expect receiving your parcels on that day or earlier.
For those who need a refresher, the HTC EVO 4G LTE is a redesigned version of the HTC One X. In terms of hardware, you get a 4.7-inch 720p display, dual-core Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.5GHz, and a snappy 8-megapixel camera. When it comes to looks, however, the device has been given a few alterations. To start, its body is made out of aluminum and sports ...

AT&T's HTC One X gets rooted, catches up with the global gang
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAT&TOne X
No sooner did the international variant of the One X reveal its source code, now the AT&T version has landed itself an unofficial root. Better still, the folks over at xda-developers have already squeezed the occasionally laborious process into a one-click install. For those not in the know, this doesn't mean an unlocked bootloader, which is still wrapped up in AT&T red tape. Root meddling types can hit up the source for the necessary files. Just, be careful -- that's some pricey polycarbonate and the Galaxy S III's still some weeks away.

Unfortunately, it isn't disclosed which carriers are going to welcome the One V in their line-ups, but we're being told that the device will become available through "a variety of partners". The HTC One V is a contemporary smartphone with great build quality and fine specs that won't break the bank.
