HTC HD2 Mango ROM now with working Marketplace and Side Loading available
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCHD2
That did not take long. If you (understandably) held of upgrading your HTC HD2 to Mango due to the inability to install applications you will be glad to hear XDA-Dev member elfinlazz has corrected those particular issues, enabling side loading and including a working Marketplace fixer.
Early reports are also of issues with storage, Wi-Fi and Skydrive having been corrected.
Of course the 7592 build is earlier than the 7661 build currently available to developers, but then we have been told even this build is months old in any case.

First OTA update hits non-carrier branded HTC Sensation units in Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4G
Needless to say, there are some happy HTC Sensation owners in Europe that are exuberant about the handset's loveliness, but for those affected by the stifling problem of lag with its performance, they’re going to be glad to see hear that some owners are seeing better results after installing a new software update.
Although it doesn’t necessarily bring along anything dramatic, this 27MB over-the-air update for non-carrier branded HTC Sensation units in Europe is being pushed out as we speak. Naturally, it brings the handset up to software version 1.35.401.1 and carries along some additional bug fixes with it. Moreover, we’re sure that handset owners are more interested about seeing an unlock...

HTC Marvel Hits FCC, Heading For T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCT-MobileWildfire S T-Mobile
Back in May, a leaked T-Mobile roadmap revealed a wide variety of delicious smartphones waiting to come out of the oven. One of the handsets getting close to making its entry is the HTC Marvel that’s slated for a July 15th launch. The handset has just passed through the FCC, indicating it should be right on time.
The HTC Marvel is essentially the T-Mobile version of the HTC Wildfire S for which we did a full review back in April. The FCC documents label the handset as only PG76240 and indicate that the device will sport T-Mobile’s GSM and WCDMA bands.

HTC Status and LG Thrill 4G To Hit AT&T This Month?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGHTCAT&TThrill 4GStatus
Sometime in the last year or so, the carriers picked up a bad new habit. They’d announce that they were getting a phone, talk all about the specs… but then give no indication of when it might actually be available. Maybe it’s because they don’t like making promises they’re not sure they can keep; maybe it’s because they’re hoping that a second announcement — the one containing the pricing/availability details — will stir up a second whirlwind of press. Whatever the motivation, it’s terribly annoying.
Take the Status and the glasses-free 3D LG Thrill for example. The Status just went official last week. The Thrill 4G, however, went official way back in March — and yet, there’s still no offici...

HTC Sensation 4G heads to Canada, available for $150 on Bell
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4G
Do our friends across the border have a hankerin' for a top-of-the-line Android phone? Consider your desires addressed. Not only is Bell coming out with the Samsung Galaxy S II in the near future, the HTC Sensation 4G is now officially in stock for $150 on a three-year commitment. The "4G" moniker remains since the device is compatible with Bell's 14.4 Mbps HSPA+ network. Aside from this, however, we can expect the same goodies seen in the US version: a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, Gingerbread, 4.3-inch qHD display with 960 x 540 resolution, and an 8 megapixel camera (just to name a few). This does unfortunately mean that you'll now have two very capable "superphones" to choose from -- although the...

EVO 3D at the FCC redux: now with AWS 3G
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
Well, what have we here? Another HTC EVO 3D, aka the PG86300, has landed on the FCC's doorstep -- only this time it's packing radios similar to those seen in the phone's European edition. This one works on the 1700MHz AWS band, so it appears could be destined for duty in the pockets of T-Mobile's magenta-clad masses, though we can't say for sure. However, now that the government's decreed this EVO's electronics won't fry our brains, it shouldn't be be long before we find out.
Update: This FCC filing is most likely for the European EVO 3G, which, like the European Sensation and Flyer, features a tri-band 3G (HSPA+) radio with 2100 / 1700 (AWS) and 900MHz as well as a quadband 2G radio. This m...

Skype 2 video chat unofficially enabled on the Galaxy S II, Sensation, and others
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungHTCGalaxy S IISensation 4G
The latest Skype update for Android is available to everyone, but it only enables video chat on four specific handsets. Fortunately, impatient modders have gone some way to correcting this profound injustice, by creating APKs that activate video calling on other handsets too. So far we've heard of successful ports on the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation, Thunderbolt and EVO 4G. If you've got some other handset with Android 2.3, a little experimentation with the APK might also be worth your while. However, we just tried it on an Xperia Arc and didn't get very far: the app ran, but efforts to communicate with an Xperia Neo resulted in one-way video, a locked landscape mode and plenty ...

HTC Desire Android 2.3 update enters testing phase
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDesireAndroid 2.3
HTC has announced that its long-awaited Gingerbread update for the HTC Desire has entered internal testing.
The update will provide the HTC Desire with a slightly stripped-down version of the software, with some apps having to be abandoned to free up memory required by the Gingerbread update.
It's been a rollercoaster ride for Desire owners; HTC had originally promised the update, then decided it couldn't deliver it and then changed its mind again a day later, saying that it would be bringing the update out after all.
Gingerbone of contention
The latest update from the company reads: "Hi all - We're excited to share that we are testing our build of Gingerbread for HTC Desire and will start d...

HTC Eternity with Windows Phone Mango leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCTitan
Images of a new HTC phone that’s currently being dubbed “Eternity” have apparently been leaked online. Reportedly it will land as one of the first Windows Phone Mango devices, which are set to begin launching this fall. Reportedly, the Eternity will be powered by a 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor and will come equipped with a 4.7-inch AMOLED display — a monster of a screen. Rumor has it there’s also an 8-megapixel camera, HDMI-out, 16GB of onboard storage, a 1.3-megapixel camera for video chats, 512MB of RAM, and a 1,650 mAh battery. The form factor reminds us of the HTC EVO 4G, the Inspire 4G, and the HD7, which are starting to feel a bit stale. There’s no word on when the Eternity will make its ...

Sprint's HTC Evo 3D Caught Prepping For T-Mo's 4G Network?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCT-MobileEVO 3D
HTC’s line of Evo phones have long been Sprint exclusives, and are arguably the number three carrier’s shining stars. Interestingly enough, Sprint’s most recent (and also most awesome) phone, the Evo 3D has been spotted passing through the FCC sporting T-Mobile’s AWS bands. A trip to the FCC doesn’t necessarily mean that T-Mobile is for sure, without a doubt picking up the Evo 3D, but it does give a little hope to T-Mobile customers who aren’t keen on the pink carrier’s current front-runner, the Sensation 4G.
Here’s a quick specs refresher on the HTC Evo 3D: It packs glasses-free 3D onto its 4.3-inch qHD display, touts a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and comes wit...

AT&T HTC Status in the wild
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCStatus
We’ve just been sent a shot of AT&T’s upcoming Facebook-centric device, the AT&T HTC Status. The device looks pretty identical to the European HTC ChaCha, save for the obvious AT&T branding. We exclusively reported the HTC Status would be the official name of the device here in the U.S., and now that it’s confirmed, we have to say, it’s one of the most logical names for a device we can think of in recent memory. One more shot of the Facebook phone that’s not a Facebook phone, after the break.

Orange UK's HTC Desire HD getting Android 2.3 update as we speak
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCOrangeGoogleDesire HDAndroid 2.3
Orange UK and HTC have started rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread updates for the Desire HD. If you’re in the “affected” group you can already check to see whether a new update is available. If it isn’t – don’t worry. I’m sure HTC’s servers are dying at the moment as the company tries to push the software to all users.
You probably know what Gingerbread brings, so I won’t repeat it here. Still I’ll mention the improved Copy/Paste which actually makes the functionality usable.
As usual, we remind you it’s good practice to backup all of your PIM data (contacts and calendars) before updating. Your stuff may be in the cloud, but having a local copy is always a plus. When you’re done with that —...

HTC EVO 3D listed as “coming soon” on Vodafone UK's web page
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
Well, this didn't take long. The GSM version of the HTC EVO 3D may have been announced only yesterday, but Vodafone UK is already teasing us with a listing of the smartphone on its web page. Teasing seems to be the most suitable term for it as the EVO 3D is only listed in the “coming soon” section with no word regarding its price or availability, at least for now. However, if the rumor that we heard not long ago turns out to be true, it wouldn't be long before the smartphone hits Vodafone's shelves.
Currently, Vodafone UK appears to be the only European carrier to have the EVO 3D in its portfolio, but other carriers are very likely to follow suit. First of all, during its announcement yester...
