Months after Gingerbread's arrival, HTC Sense remains fussy, users can't get no satisfaction
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC
Many HTC Sense users have experienced less than ideal conditions ever since their upgrade to Gingerbread. In an issue that's likely tied to the operating system's new memory management techniques, we've seen the launcher sporadically restart upon return to the home screen, and in rarer cases, cause Sense to revert entirely to its factory settings. While the glitch is hardly new, it's rather well documented and the longstanding nature demands a proper (and expedient) update from HTC. Until that moment comes, we've included a few tips to help affected users get through the day.

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.

After a quick look at this leaked picture of a HTC Windows Phone 7 handset, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you'd been peeking at a HTC Titan.
But take a closer look at the top edge where the logo is slightly bigger and where the front facing camera is a bit more prominent. And the side, where the buttons are in a different position. And not to mention the back which is completely ruddy different.

Unofficial HTC Super Tool will unshackle a wide range of devices
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC
Over on the xda-developer forums, user frigid has released what has been dubbed the HTC Super Tool, a utility which provides both root and an unlocked bootloader for a rather large set of HTC Android-based devices. Successful results have been reported with Sprint's EVO family (4G, Design 4G, 3D, Shift 4G), several T-Mobile myTouch products, the G2, Inspire, Sensation, and more. In addition, the latest version of Super Tool can also "de-Sense" compatible smartphones, removing the vast majority of HTC's OS customizations; the only remaining trace is the default lock screen.
It's easy to see how this could prove a compelling alternative to HTC's tool for unlocking the bootloader, which remains...

HTC Radar 4G appears on Microsoft's website looking like a Maitre d'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCRadar
The HTC Radar 4G is available from T-Mobile. Unlike most smartphones that are released these days, the device was originally launched in white, looking like it was dropped in some snow. That is what makes the picture of the phone found on Microsoft's website so interesting. The variant shown in the image on the Microsoft site has the same white border but the outer part of the device is black. The two-tone look gives the phone the appearance of a Maitre d' wearing a tuxedo.
We are not sure if HTC plans on issuing a version of the handset looking like this, or if it was just done for the website. We must admit to digging the look, even if it seems formal. In fact, this might be the first Wind...

HTC Fireball getting ready to scorch Verizon's 4G lineup?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon Wireless
Hey, we've always said that Verizon LTE is blazing fast, so it seems appropriate to name products in its lineup accordingly. A leaked screenshot of Big Red's internal system, brought to us by Droid Life, indicates that this very well may be the case, as a new device called the HTC Fireball (ADR6410L) just popped up. Aside from its inclusion of the next-gen data speeds, nothing else is known about the gadget; heck, we don't even know for sure if it's going to have the same name (we're half-expecting it to be renamed as something Beats-related). Regardless of its name, if the screenshot above is accurate, we may soon have another quietly brilliant device hanging out next to the Rezound.

HTC Wildfire S gets Android 2.3.5 update along with Sense 2.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid 2.3Wildfire S
Well what do you know – HTC released the Android 2.3.5 update for its low-end Wildfire S smartphone. Along with the latest version of Gingerbread, there’s also the new Sense software (version 2.1), which mimics some of the aspects of the Sense UI on the HTC Sensation. However, you shouldn’t expect all of the features since there’s not enough horse power under the Wildfire S’ hood. There is the new interactive lock screen as well as few other graphic changes and that’s about it.
The update is said to be rolling out across Europe as we speak and if you still haven’t got it, you can manually check – hit “Settings,” “About phone” and the “Software updates.” From here you’ll be able to see whethe...

HTC has already confirmed that the Amaze 4G will be getting Ice Cream Sandwich in 2012, but an interim update may be hitting today that brings Wi-Fi calling to the T-Mobile-exclusive device. TmoNews reports that several readers received software build 1.43.531.3 this morning after manually checking for a software update, with a new preference for enabling Wi-Fi calling present in settings.
