[Update: Now Available] Gorgeous White EVO 3D Launching September 9th Exclusively At RadioShack

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in EVO 3D (Shooter), HTC, News

Update: If you've been holding your breath waiting for this beauty, you can breathe a sigh of relief, as it's now available at RadioShack. Woot.

Could the EVO 3D on Sprint get even better? Well, sure - it could use a bit of Ice Cream Sandwich, but we'll remain realistic for the time being and take RadioShack's exclusive white version instead. The new sleeker, more gorgeous than ever EVO 3D variant will be coming September 9th, as outed by a screenshot posted by RadioShack's own Twitter account. Lookin' good, isn't it?

HTC Sense 3.5 Up And Running On EVO 4G - Clear Step Up From 3.0

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Development, EVO 4G (Supersonic), News

Something that I love about the Android development community is that developers are always looking for the newest thing to beef up current devices. The case of HTC's Sense 3.5 is no different. The newest iteration of HTC's overlay was obtained from a dump belonging the HTC Bliss, a yet-to-be-released phone that will come with Sense 3.5 baked in. Ostensibly a split-second later, Senior XDA developer Evokings got 3.5-based ROM to the EVO 4G. The new version of Sense is already available on the Droid Incredible, the Incredible 2, and a few other HTC devices.

Improving on its predecessor, Sense 3.5 uses the ring-style lockscreen, allows for landscape viewing of homescreens and the app drawer, and new notification options allowing users to create resizable widgets to display various notifications right on the home screen.

Review And Comparison Of All Three Otterbox Cases For The EVO 3D - Defender, Commuter, And Impact

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in EVO 3D (Shooter), HTC, Other Reviews, Reviews, Sprint

I am going to be honest - I am not a fan of phone cases myself. However, knowing my wife's affinity for miraculously sending her phones flying into the back yard from our 2nd story balcony or stomping on them with her shoes after they hit the asphalt (though her previous phone, the Palm Pre, didn't live to tell its story after drowning in our dog's water bowl), I set out on a mission to find the best protective case for her new and shiny EVO 3D.

Otterbox, one of the top case manufacturers, graciously sent me all three of their cases for the EVO 3D - the Defender, the Commuter, and the Impact.

HTC Reaches Out Regarding Evo 3D's Suspicious Data Collection

Posted by Liam Spradlin in EVO 3D (Shooter), HTC, News

There have been rumblings lately regarding suspicious data collection happening with HTC's Evo 3D. For those not familiar, it was recently discovered that a service in the latest update for the Evo 3D collected usage, location, and device information, causing some concern among users and developers alike.

Xda reported today on a statement made by HTC officials which attempts to quell fears surrounding the data collection, letting users know that the data is encrypted and all identifying information is excluded. Additionally HTC clarified that the data is related to opt-in error-reporting, and not simply being collected on a whim. Here's the full text of the statement:

We’ve seen some questions about Sensation and Evo 3D and want to provide more information.

Latest EVO 3D PRL Forces Users To Use 2G - But You Can Fix It

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in Development, EVO 3D (Shooter), HTC, Sprint

HTC has an above-average track record with software updates, but they appear to have misstepped with the most recent PRL version for the EVO 3D. For some unfathomable reason, said PRL (version number 50580) seems to be blocking Sprint's 3G network for a lot of users; as a result, they are left with no choice but to rely on the considerably slower 1xRTT technology (2G) for data.

Fortunately, there's still hope for those who unknowingly applied PRL 50580 - simply revert to the previous PRL (21081) using the instructions at Good and EVO. Note, however, that your device will need to be rooted, and an official fix probably isn't too far down the road.

Rogers All Set To Expand Its LTE Network To Toronto On September 28

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Rogers

Back in July, Rogers unleashed the first Canadian LTE network in Ottawa, and now it's looking to expand that service to Toronto on September 28th, bringing blazing fast speeds to the country's largest city.

Aside from the additional network coverage, Rogers also announced a new LTE infused product line set to land this fall, which includes the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE, the LTE Rocket mobile hotspot, "an LTE tablet from a leading manufacturer," and a yet-unnamed HTC phone.

As far as this mysterious tablet is concerned, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to be the HTC Puccini, considering it recently cleared the FCC with Rogers' LTE radio onboard.

T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G Bootloader Now Officially Unlockable

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Sensation / Sensation 4G (Pyramid)

HTC has been steadily making good on its promise to unlock the bootloader of its more recent models -- first came the EU Sensation, followed by the EVO 3D. Continuing along this same path, today HTC updated the unlock portal on HTCdev.com to include the T-Mobile variant of the Sensation.

Keep in mind that if you plan on making use of this process that it will likely void your warranty, so tread with caution.

With that said, you can head over to the official HTC Dev site now and officially get your unlock on.

[Tip] Is Your Sensation Having Touchscreen Issues? Here's A Potential Fix.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Sensation / Sensation 4G (Pyramid), Tips & Tutorials

Shortly after the HTC Sensation was released, we covered a seemingly random issue with the touchscreen. Not all Sensation owners experienced this issue, and it's still relatively unknown what the exact cause of the problem is.

However, one of the theories formed on XDA is that it's a grounding issue on some devices. On others, though, the issue seems to be completely software related. If you can easily solve the problem by rebooting or a factory reset, then the fix outlined below will not work for you. If, however, this doesn't remedy the problem - even temporarily - then you should continue reading.

[Deal Alert] HTC EVO 3D For $50 With New Two-Year Agreement From Wirefly

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, EVO 3D (Shooter), News

Last week, Amazon Wireless had a deal going for the HTC EVO 3D where newcomers to the Now Network could score the device for $99. Not to be outdone, Wirefly has fired back with an even better deal: if you sign a new agreement with Sprint, you can get the EVO 3D for $50. Also unlike Amazon Wireless' deal, current Sprint customers will only have to drop $100 with a contract renewal, saving around half of the retail cost.

Specs:

4.3 Inch qHD Super LCD glasses-less 3D display
1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor
1GB RAM
5MP rear shooter with 3D photo and video capabilities, 2MP front camera
1GB built-in storage
Android 2.3 with Sense 3.0

Regardless of whether or not you're into the 3D aspect, this is still a killer device at an insanely good price.

The Winners Of The Seidio Case And Desktop Charger Giveaway Are...

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Contests / Giveaways

Last week, we took the wraps off a new accessory contest sponsored by Seidio, in which five lucky winners will be the recipients of a case and desktop charger of their choosing.

After reading through all 170+ entries - some funny, some tragic, some that make you feel awful for the story teller, and some that were just downright crazy, we've reached a decision on who the winners are.

So, without further ado, here they are (in no particular order):
