HTC One S offered with 1.7GHz Snapdragon S3 processor in Taiwan and India
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne S
The shortage of Snapdragon S4 processors is prompting HTC to use Qualcomm’s old-gen CPUs in some devices. The One S that is offered in India and Taiwan won’t come with the newest Qualcomm processor, but the old Snapdragon S3 clocked at 1.7GHz. Now we’re not sure how the two CPUs compare and I think there won’t be any visible differences as far as most users are concerned. Still, some others may appreciate the best Qualcomm CPU in their phone(s), especially when they have to pay a premium to get the One S.

White HTC Evo 4G LTE appears in Sprint advertisement
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
HTC's smartphones are no stranger to white paint jobs, and it look like the new Evo 4G LTE will be no different. A silver and white version of the device has shown up in a Sprint ad, and while the carrier has not made any official announcement regarding the variant, Techno Buffalo recently reported that it is already listed in the company's inventory. The original Evo 4G was also released in white — as was the HTC One X, the Evo 4G LTE's close relative — so the new color scheme would come as no surprise. Then again, this could all just be the result of a slip up in Sprint's marketing department.

HTC EVO 4G LTE does not support Google Wallet?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
Whether it has to do with the rumored Sprint 'Touch' mobile payment technology that the nation's third largest carrier is said to be developing, or just a case of gremlins invading the software, users of the carrier's new flagship HTC EVO 4G LTE have been unable to get Google Wallet to work. Members of Xda developers forum, resourceful as ever, found that tricking the software into thinking that it was running on the Samsung GALAXY Nexus would allow it to run perfectly.
If only the story ended here. But it didn't as soon the HTC EVO 4G LTE returned a message that "Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device / carrier," leading many to believe that the service w...

HTC One S drops to $99 at Best Buy and $49 at T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne S
Two pretty sweet deals are taking place right now for the HTC One S Android handset. The device has dropped in price significantly at both Best Buy and T-Mobile, selling for $99.99 and $49.99 respectively with a two-year contract.
Note that the sale at T-Mobile will require you to pay $99.99 up front for the phone and then get your $50 back via mail-in rebate. If you’re like me and absolutely despise rebates, Best Buy is the better option. The sale price of the One S at T-Mobile is part of an even bigger Father’s Day sale going on in which many of the Android smartphones are discounted or made completely free as long as you glue yourself to the network for two years.

HTC drops federal appeal of ITC complaint exonerating Apple, more arrows remain in the quiver
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleHTC
HTC was understandably upset when its first ITC complaint against Apple was tossed out. The company must have since decided that it has bigger fish to fry, as it was just granted a motion to dismiss its federal-level appeal. The choice isn't a defeat so much as an acknowledgment that other disputes are underway which stand a better chance of surviving scrutiny. As it stands, HTC already has more appeals either on deck or in progress that it will more likely want to pursue, such as the dispute over using Google's patents as well as its off-again, on-again acquisition target S3 Graphics' loss at the ITC last year. Apple, naturally, hasn't been waiting around.

HTC One S deal: price down to $100 on Best Buy
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne S
T-Mobile’s HTC One S is one of the carrier’s best Android offers for the moment, and it’s likely to remain so for a couple of weeks until the Samsung Galaxy S III launches, but now there’s one more reason to buy the One S - it’s price dropped to $99.99 on a 2-year contract on Best Buy.
The One S deal is good for both new T-Mobile customers and for upgraders, and will run for a limited time.
There’s no catch if you don’t count the fact that you have to order online as most brick and morter Best Buy stores don’t have T-Mobile handsets for sale. Hit the source link below to get the One S for a good price while the deal lasts.

HTC to go ahead with S3 Graphics acquisition
Like UnlikeFiled in: HTC
HTC announced today that they acquired S3 Graphics; HTC was on the verge of acquiring them for $300 million in the middle of last year, but the deal seemed to fall through after an ITC ruling called into question the strategic value of S3’s patent portfolio. The acquisition was generally seen as an attempt to bolster HTC’s patent portfolio against Apple; S3 Graphics has extensive experience with GPU processing and visualization, and holds more than 200 patents in that field, and had been in the process of asserting some of those patents against Apple when HTC moved to acquire S3.
Had the lawsuit ended favorably for S3 Graphics, HTC would have found themselves in a much better legal position,...

HTC One X suffering Wi-Fi connectivity issues
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
A design flaw is interfering with users' ability to connect the HTC One X with a Wi-Fi source. The One X seemingly has several Wi-Fi-related problems that either drain the battery rapidly or render it completely unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network. HTC is reportedly aware of the issue, and is asking for feedback to help the engineering team resolve the problem.
Users can test their devices by gently squeezing the back of the phone between the camera lens and voume buttons. If the Wi-Fi signal strength improves, only to drop when releasing the grip, then the the device is affected by the connectivity bug. The suggested primary fix is returning the phone to the supplier as a "dead on arrival"...

Google's plan to transfer patents to HTC fails in case against Apple
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleHTCGoogle
The International Trade Commission today granted Apple's motion to dismiss five out of eight patents from HTC's case against the Cupertino company. HTC acquired rights to the five patents from Google last year, in a clear attempt to arm Android OEMs against Apple without getting directly involved. However, it looks like that strategy has backfired, at least in this particular case. While the ITC decision is not currently available to the public, the summary of the ruling does state that the patents were dismissed "due to lack of standing." Based on that, it seems whatever ownership or licensing rights HTC acquired from Google, it fell short of what is required under the law to permit enforce...

Droid Incredbile 4G LTE signage arrives at some Verizon Wireless stores
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessDROID Incredible 4G LTE
The Droid Incredible was announced earlier this year by Verizon Wireless without a solid launch date. Rumors point to a June 21st launch, but there has been no solid information supporting this estimated launch date until now. According to Droid-Life, select Verizon Wireless stores received marketing materials for the next generation Incredible handset over the weekend. This doesn’t confirm the launch date, but its timing would fit in perfectly with a mid-June launch.

So, about that update for the HTC One S on T-Mobile that was supposed to start rolling out today, it’s delayed. Sorry.
Originally the update was schedule for May 31st through June 30th. The support documentation has just been updated and now reads June 4th though July 7th. While a reason for the delay has not been cited, it looks like HTC One S owners will have to wait until Monday to get their update.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
On Thursday, we told you that Sprint would be offering the HTC EVO 4G LTE in its stores and online starting this Saturday, June 2nd. Thanks to the release of the handset, which was held up at the U.S. border along with the HTC One X for AT&T, there should be no more delays in obtaining the device. But what if you pre-ordered or plan on buying the model from a third party retailer like, say, Best Buy? A leaked internal email for the big box retailer has the answer.

Asus, HTC Unlikely to Join Google's Chromebook Party
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsASUSHTCGoogleChromium OS
Google this week announced a second generation Chromebook model from Samsung, the Series 5 550, which dispenses with the previous generation Chromebook's Atom N570 processor and replaces it with a dual-core Celeron B867 chip sporting Sandy Bridge DNA. That's well and good if you're into Chromebooks, except that companies like Asus and HTC aren't tripping over themselves trying to launch second generation Chromebook models of their own.

Sprint confirms EVO 4G LTE phones will hit stores in the next few days
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSprintEVO 4G LTE
Sprint has great news for those of you out there salivating to get your hands on the latest EVO, who didn’t get a chance to pre-order. Many of you know that all HTC One US variants have been held up at customs due to some Apple infringements. Thankfully, last week devices finally starting getting through customs. This allowed for the fourth largest wireless provider in the United States to begin shipping out handsets to customers who pre-ordered devices before the whole customs problem.
