HTC's growth streak is over: quarterly revenue down 2.5 per cent, profits even worse
Like UnlikeFiled in: HTC
Difficult times for a company that had grown used to a gleaming record of growth. As predicted after that serious stutter in November sales, HTC's unaudited revenue for Q4 2011 shows a 2.49 percent fall on the same quarter in 2010. Unaudited operating income was just shy of 13 billion Taiwanese dollars (about $430 million), which represents a 22 percent decline on the year before. Prior to this, the company had seen nothing but upward movement after springing out of nowhere a few years ago and delivering us some rather nice handsets, but it looks like competition in the Android sphere is starting to make life harder for the Taiwanese manufacturer -- although none of its recent statements bet...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X AT&T
HTC is looking to reinvigorate its smartphone line-up with not one but two quad-core smartphones, which it will show off at this year's Mobile World Congress.
This is according to Digitimes, which is reporting that there will not just be the HTC Edge on display – a phone that's said to have Nvidia's Tegra 3 processer inside – but a number of new smartphones packing some quad love.

HTC Radiant pictured ahead of Windows Phone 4G revolution
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCRadiant
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.

HTC updates bootloader unlock utility to support latest Android lineup
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid
It wasn't long ago that HTC's bootloader unlock utility hit the masses, thereby righting the company's silly decision to lock its phones down in the first place. Now, continuing its commitment to mod-lovers and those who appreciate freedom, The House of Chou is announcing that its latest lineup of Android phones can find a similar (and proper) fate. The company has released an updated bootloader unlock tool that supports all Android devices released after September of this year. Naturally, this includes such handsets as the HTC EVO Design 4G, Rezound, Rhyme and Vivid. The company has yet to release an updated list of supported devices, but promises to do so in the coming days. While we're st...

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 loses to Apple, several Android phones banned in the U.S.
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleHTCGoogleAndroid
The U.S. International Trade Commission finally issued its decision on a patent dispute between Apple and HTC. The determination states that several of the manufacturer's Android-based handsets will be banned from sale and import in the United States on April 12, 2012. HTC says not to worry though -- they have a plan.
HTC dodged the bullet for 8 of the 10 patent accusations made in April, but those last two were still good enough to land an injunction from the ITC. The determination blocks several of HTC's Android-based devices from import and outright bans the sale of those devices in the U.S. It is currently unknown what exact phones are subject to the injunction.

Apple Takes One Small Step Against HTC, One Giant Leap Against Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleHTCGoogleAndroid
Apple has been duking it out with Android manufacturers for the past couple years, and very few are safe. Samsung has already suffered some big losses with the banning of its Galaxy Tab in Germany and Australia. HTC, however, has remained mostly safe from Apple’s wrath.
In July the Taiwanese manufacturer had a close call, as Administrative Law Judge Carl Charneski ruled that HTC was infringing two of Apple’s proposed 10 patents. Of course, before any serious action could be taken the ITC needed to have a look, which is exactly what’s happened.

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.

ITC bans U.S. import of multiple HTC devices in Apple patent ruling

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.
