Posted on Jun 27, 2011 by Immortal

The HTC EVO 3D, one of the hottest Android devices out there, has been available for purchase across the US for several days now, and we are sure that some of you are already having a great time trying out its 3D features. However, HTC fans who happen to live across the Atlantic will be happy to know that it will not be long before the 3D-enabled smartphone hits the European market as well. That is what was made clear today as the manufacturer announced its plans to launch the HTC EVO 3D across The Old Continent in July.
So, what makes the HTC EVO 3D so hot and sought after? First off, its spacious 3D-enabled display with qHD resolution lets you watch 3D content without the need for a specia...

Orange UK's Coming Soon page now lists HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Mini

Orange UK's Coming Soon page now lists HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Mini

Posted on Jun 27, 2011 by MG1

Orange UK will soon start selling two Android smartphones. The first of the two is the HTC Sensation, which we know as the monster phone thanks to its specs that include a dual-core processor, 4.3-inch qHD capacitive touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, an array of sensors and so on. You name it, this baby has it. It’s one of the best smartphones announced to date, if not the best. We’ve no doubts Orange will offer the Sensation for free to anyone willing to commit on a plan starting at 30 or 35 GBP a month.
Then there’s the Samsung Galaxy Mini, which for many will be the first smartphone they ever bought. It should cost next to nothing, even free with some not-that-...

HTC EVO 3D lets you uninstall carrier-loaded applications without rooting

HTC EVO 3D lets you uninstall carrier-loaded applications without rooting

Posted on Jun 27, 2011 by MG1

Sprint's HTC EVO 3D, as most other carrier-subsidized phones, comes with all sorts of preinstalled applications, which, for the lack of a better word, are universally known as bloatware.
On Android devices you needed root access to get them out of your sight, if you didn't need any of those, which potentially voids the warranty, so a lot of users choose to just live with the unneeded nav apps or game zones the carriers are pushing onto your unsuspecting hardware. That's one of the prices to pay for a carrier subsidy, after all.
On the HTC EVO 3D, however, it seems that a different approach has been taken. Coming from users of the recently released 3D-enabled handset, most carrier apps, save ...

Thunderbolt gets Sense 3.0 through the back door

Thunderbolt gets Sense 3.0 through the back door

Posted on Jun 27, 2011 by MG1

Before HTC announced that the Thunderbolt wouldn't receive Sense 3.0, perhaps it should have consulted the dev community. That's because a determined group of modders have successfully massaged HTC's latest skin onto the popular Das BAMF Gingerbread ROM. The current iteration has some bugs, including a glitchy front-facing camera (that you can remedy by switching from widescreen to 4:3 capture), but it's now at release candidate status and awaiting a final coat of gloss. If you've got to have it now -- and have no interest in HTC's upcoming Android 2.3.4 build -- you'll need a rooted phone, S-Off status, and Clockwork Recovery to load the flashable ROM, along with the MR2 radio (preferably)....

HTC Glamor image leaks, eye candy for the ladies

HTC Glamor image leaks, eye candy for the ladies

Posted on Jun 24, 2011 by MG3

It's not entirely clear why when a company decides to make a product targeted to women, they usually just wrap it up in candy colors and fluff, as if the target market is Barbie.
In the case of the HTC Glamor, though, it makes sense, since the most likely buyers will be teenage girls, judging by the jolly colors in a leaked picture of HTC's upcoming feminine handset.

Hulu Plus for Android is available now... for six devices

Hulu Plus for Android is available now... for six devices

Posted on Jun 23, 2011 by MG3

The good news is that Hulu Plus for Android is on the market, but the bad news is that you may not be able to install it yet. The official Hulu Blog has just been updated with news that six phones -- Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix -- are on the compatible list with "additional device announcements" due later in the year. While there's some crossover with the list of Netflix-compatible devices, it's hardly complete and many flagship phones are still missing. Here's hoping the tweakers can work their magic on that apk and get it running for the rest of us, whether we're shelling out $7.99 a month or just want to leech some Chappe...

HTC EVO 3D getting bug fixing update before its release

HTC EVO 3D getting bug fixing update before its release

Posted on Jun 23, 2011 by MG1

The handset isn’t even officially available yet, and the EVO 3D is already getting an update. The update brings the software version up to 1.13.651.7, and contains a bug fix for the calendar application.
The bug itself would force close the Calendar application when one was trying to edit an event, and while that’s definitely a good thing to catch before the handset is officially in stores, but the update itself seems to be rather large for a simple bug fix, coming in at 26.59MB. Nonetheless, we’re glad to see such a bug has been caught before the release, as it’s a doozy.
With only a few days to go until the official launch for the EVO 3D, we may even see more updates hit as soon as the dev...

HTC announces the HTC EVO 4G+ in South Korea

HTC announces the HTC EVO 4G+ in South Korea

Posted on Jun 23, 2011 by MG1

HTC South Korea has just announced a new device called the EVO 4G+ that looks a lot like something we’re soon due to get in the states, the EVO 3D. We wouldn’t hold it against you if you failed to tell the difference between the two smartphones, because based on looks alone they’re practically twins. The Evo 4G+, like the EVO 3D, has a 1.2 GHz dual core CPU, 4.3 inch qHD (960 x 540 pixels) display, 1GB of RAM, and can hop on WiMAX networks, albeit the Korean version known as WiBro. Unlike the 3D, the 4G+ also does 14.4 Mbps HSPA+ on the 900 MHz and 2100 MHz bands, meaning it’s a good fit for both Asian and European countries. The 4G+ also lacks a pair of 5 megapixel cameras and a 3D display,...

HTC EVO 3D on sale now to Sprint Premier customers: $200 on a two-year contract

HTC EVO 3D on sale now to Sprint Premier customers: $200 on a two-year contract

Posted on Jun 21, 2011 by MG1

Settled on an EVO 3D, did you? If you just so happen to be a part of Sprint's Premier club, it looks as if your floodgates are wide open. A spate of tipsters (as well as our own Richard Lawler) have confirmed this evening that Sprint's latest whiz-bang superphone is indeed on sale to an elite few, with $199.99 netting you the handset along with a particularly daunting two-year ball / chain combination. $549.99 buys it outright, but there's no clear indication on if these are indeed shipping out in the morning. Either way, we're guessing it's going to be mighty hard to resist this fellow -- you know, Because life is in 3D.

HTC Thunderbolt getting Android 2.3.4 update, Skype Video on June 30th

HTC Thunderbolt getting Android 2.3.4 update, Skype Video on June 30th

Posted on Jun 21, 2011 by MG1

HTC Thunderbolt owners, here’s a piece of good news for you. Your LTE-enabled smartphone will get the Android 2.3.4 update on June 30th! And while that’s great news for itself, there’s more — aside from the latest flavor of Gingerbread, the software upgrade will also bring video calls, including GTalk and check this, Skype Video. Yep, we’ve been waiting this for quite some time now and had to rely on other apps like Tango to beam our ugly faces to the unlucky recipient on the other side of the line. No more, he or she will soon be able to “enjoy” the sight using the familiar Skype interface. That said, I do expect to lose a contact or two from my Skype list in the next few days, but hey – so...

HTC EVO 4G gets software update to fix Netflix compatibility

HTC EVO 4G gets software update to fix Netflix compatibility

Posted on Jun 21, 2011 by MG1

Owners of the HTC EVO 4G were undoubtedly thrilled when the update for Android 2.3 Gingerbread was released, but there were a few nagging issues with the update. Notably, the new version of Android broke compatibility with the Netflix for Android app that was also recently released. Well, it looks like Sprint and HTC have addressed the issue and are now pushing out a maintenance update to correct it. Also packed in with the update is a voicemail notification fix and hearing aid compatibility. Users will get a notification on their phones when the update is ready to be downloaded and installed.

It is no surprise really, but it is good confirmation that Microsoft is testing out Mango builds on devices other than their special developer device, the HTC Mazaa.
That is if we can believe Alessandro Teglia, the Community Program Manager for CEE & Italy Microsoft, who claims to be using a HTC Mozart running Mango

HTC Sensation 4G official for Bell

HTC Sensation 4G official for Bell

Posted on Jun 17, 2011 by MG1

Bell gained the distinction of being the first if not only Canadian carrier to get the HTC Sensation 4G. Its version will be much like the international version of the 1.2GHz, dual-core Android 2.3 phone but switch over to Bell's HSPA frequencies, also shared with most Canadian carriers and AT&T, and carry 14.4Mbps. The carrier is pushing its Mobile TV app for live streaming but also plans to carry HTC's Watch movie store.
The Sensation 4G is HTC's most advanced smartphone to date and, apart from the speed, centers on a 4.3-inch, 540x960 display. It packs a 1.3-megapixel front camera and an eight-megapixel rear camera that can drive 1080p video recording. HTC' Sense 3.0 is making its first a...
