HTC releases source code for One X, US variant not included
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
Hackers rejoice … HTC has released the source code for the wildly popular One X. Yesterday, we wrote how MoDaCo noticed that the AT&T version of the HTC One X ships with a locked bootloader that isn’t unlocked by HTC’s bootloader unlock tool, a revelation that was later confirmed to The Verge by HTC. The Death Star strikes again!

Verizon makes Droid Incredible 4G LTE official
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCDROID Incredible 4G LTE
Verizon has made the Droid Incredible 4G LTE official, though this wasn't a surpsie, since the handset's product page was leaked last month. The 4-inch Super LCD qHD-equipped phone has Android 4.0 onboard with HTC's Sense 4.0 on top and it will connect to Verizon's 4G LTE network for some of the highest mobile broadband speeds available in the industry. The phone is powered by a dual-core, 1.2GHz Snapdragon S4 processor that's also used in the One S.
There is otherwise an eight-megapixel rear camera, front-facing camera for video chats and a microSD memory card slot onboard. The body also hides a 1,7000mAh battery. The handset has the ability to share its LTE connection with up to 10 other d...

AT&T now offering the HTC One X
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
The AT&T variant of the HTC One X is now available from the carrier at a price of $199.99 with a signed two-year pact. The model is not endowed with the quad-core Tegra 3 like the international version of the phone, due to compatibility issues with LTE. But based on benchmark readings, you won't notice any drop off in performance with the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 under the hood. The Adreno 225 GPU takes care of the graphics side of things.
AT&T has launched the HTC One X
The AT&T HTC One X is equipped with a 4.7 inch Super LCD 2 display offering 720p resolution and a high pixel density reading of 312 ppi. 1GB of RAM is on board and the phone has 16GB of native memory which ca...

MasterCard gives PayPass blessings to HTC One X, 16 other NFC phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
MasterCard is widening the universe of phones that officially support PayPass in a big way, with a new MasterCard PayPass Ready program certifying that devices with NFC will play nicely with its mobile payment system. A total of 17 phones are part of the first wave getting the official A-OK. Some of these are known quantities already using PayPass, like the LG Viper 4G LTE and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus HSPA+, but others are new to the PayPass ways. Among the picks are the HTC One X, Intel's smartphone reference device and the Nokia Lumia 610 NFC. A raft of BlackBerrys and lower-end Samsung Galaxy phones are likewise in the fray. While only a handful of these might ever work with Google Wallet...

HTC Sensation 4G price drops to zero on T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCT-MobileSensation 4G
HTC’s last year flagship, the Sensation 4G, has just dropped in price to the sweet zero on T-Mobile, and it seems like now is the best time to get a high-end handset that can still take a beating in today’s smartphone market for very little. TMo is offering the Sensation 4G for free on a limited time offer that kicked off this week.
And here’s what you get for your zero dollars and a two-year contract tie: a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, a 4.3-inch qHD display, a capable 8-megapixel camera and connection to T-Mobile’s 4G HSPA+ network.

HTC touts the One X battery life
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
HTC outed a blog post in which it detailed the thousand of man hours that went into the battery life performance of its flagship HTC One X handset, partly to alleviate the concerns about it having a non-removable battery, we'd wager to guess.
They compared with last year's flagship HTC Sensation and the results are pretty astounding - 147% longer talk time, 103% more music playback, 39% more video playback, and 23% more web browsing time, all from a phone with a beautiful 4.7" HD screen.
Not bad, but HTC also has some independent reviewers' charts to back its claims up, like those from the Anandtech review below.

HTC EVO 4G LTE coming to Sprint on May 18th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G
Last week, we told you that Sprint will start taking pre-orders for the HTC EVO 4G LTE on May 7th. So far, so good. But when can we expect the next phone in the EVO series to actually be released? Android Authority says it has the answer as a pair of sources have tipped them to expect a May 18th launch of the handset.
And while it doesn't exactly confirm the May 18th date, leaked photos obtained by GoodandEVO.com from a source described as reliable show promotional materials for the HTC EVO 4G LTE. These materials are supposedly being delivered to Sprint locations on May 14th which would dovetail with the rumored May 18th launch date. The phone will sell for $199.99 with a signed two year c...

HTC and Facebook working on new Android smartphone for later this year, says DigiTimes
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid
HTC and Facebook, two companies already familiar with one another from their partnership on the ChaCha and Salsa handsets, are reportedly in the midst of jointly developing a new Android smartphone. DigiTimes cites insider sources in reporting that a specially customized Facebook-centric handset is set to launch in the latter half of this year. It's said to feature "a platform exclusive to Facebook," which will facilitate the integration of the social network's full feature set into the phone. Yes, that's all very general at this point, but we're inclined to believe there's some truth to this, following the moderately successful run of the ChaCha / ChaChaCha / Status device, which was handic...

China Times: HTC wants to develop its own processors for low-end phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesCPUHTCnVIDIA
Encroaching into the semiconductor business might not seem the most obvious move for a phone manufacturer that's trying to unify its efforts. Nevertheless, China Times reports that HTC has signed a "memorandum of cooperation" with ST-Ericsson to co-develop a new dedicated chip for low-end handsets coming out next year. Since ST-Ericsson is a fabless chip designer, HTC won't risk getting silicon between its fingernails. Instead, if this agreement is what it seems, the Taiwanese manufacturer may simply want more direct control over its supply chains and to reduce its current reliance on ready-made designs from Qualcomm or NVIDIA. After all, it can't be easy for HTC's new CFO, looking on while ...

HTC predicts 55 percent revenue jump, could hint at strong One sales
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne SOne VOne X
HTC's results for Q1 2012 were a long way short of spectacular, but they came too early to see any impact from sales of its latest wares -- particularly the flagship One X and the ambitious mid-range One S. According to Reuters, the Taiwanese manufacturer now predicts that its revenue will leap by 55 percent in Q2, compared to that bad last quarter. That kind of growth equates to around $3.56 billion, which isn't so impressive when you compare it to the same quarter last year, when turnover broke records and was around 20 percent higher, but it's still an encouraging sign that this company could reap what it sowed at MWC.

The HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE has been outed on Verizon’s “Droid Does” website. The new Incredible is equipped with a 4-inch qHD Super LCD display, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD slot and an 8-megapixel rear camera — possibly the same one found on HTC’s One-series smartphones.

In line with Verizon’s other 4G LTE smartphones, the latest Incredible will seemingly be offered for $299.99 alongside a new two-year agreement.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne SOne V
Canadians looking to hunt down the smallest addition to HTC's One series are in luck. According to a MobileSyrup tipster, it'll arrive on Bell next week, in all its aluminum unibody glory. While the One X looks to be confined to Rogers in the Land of the Maple Leaf, both the One S and One V are going to be offered by Bell Mobility. The mole also hinted at pricing below CND $300, matching those entry-level credentials we've explored just recently. Not a fan of Bell? Don't get disheartened -- the Android 4.0 minnow will also make an appearance on Telus, so 'chin' up.
