Sprint Rolls Out An EVO 4G LTE OTA With MHL For Your HDTV (Plus Various Bugfixes And Improvements)

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, Sprint

While it's not a major Android version update, Sprint is rolling out a pretty good upgrade to Evo LTE customers. The over-the-air software will add the ability to stream audio/video to a television set or other display via an MHL cable. Neat!

The update will also bring a variety of improvements, including to WiFi, Bluetooth compatibility, and the proximity sensor while listening to voicemail. So hopefully you won't have to worry about your face pressing buttons now. Additionally, an issue where certain processes or applications shutdown unexpectedly should be resolved.

The OTA (3.16.651.3) is rolling out to users right now.

[Download] Full RUU For The EVO LTE JB Update (3.15.651.16)

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News

Nearly a couple weeks ago, the Jelly Bean (4.1.1) update to the Evo 4G LTE XL BBQ began to roll out. By now, we think it's safe to say that most or all of you have it. If you don't, however, or if you've already updated, flashed another ROM, and want to get back to stock, then maybe I can interest you in a nice RUU?

As a side note, if you're HTCDev unlocked, you'll need to relock your handset or you'll get an error while trying to run the .exe. More information on relocking the bootloader can be found here.

[Deal Alert] Amazon Wireless Drops The EVO LTE To $20 And Galaxy S III To $50 For New Sprint Customers

Posted by in Deals, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), Galaxy S III, News, Sprint

If you're convinced that LTE is the way to go and aren't interested in picking up the Nexus 4, then Amazon Wireless is running a couple of deals right now for those who have been considering making the jump the Sprint.

First off, the HTC EVO LTE is now only $20. Twenty. Not a bad deal for such a solid phone, especially if you plan on installing CyanogenMod 10 on it. If you're not really the HTC type, though, the Galaxy S III was also on the receiving end of a price cut. You can now get this handset for $50 with a new two-year agreement.

Hands-On: How CyanogenMod 10 Fixed My EVO 4G LTE

Posted by in Development, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), Jelly Bean 4.1

You likely noticed our coverage regarding the arrival of official CyanogenMod (experimental) nightly builds for, among other devices,  HTC's EVO 4G LTE. As someone who's lived with the EVO LTE for several months now, this was big news.

Normally, we steer clear of covering the majority of custom ROMs, as development for many Android devices runs at a fast and furious pace, and coverage can quickly become dated. The improvements CyanogenMod 10 offers, though, especially over Sense on the EVO LTE, are certainly worth coverage. In this post, we'll take a quick look at CM10 for the EVO, how it changes the device's overall experience, and why, if your EVO is not running Jelly Bean yet, you're missing out.

EVO 4G LTE Owners Can Receive A $25 Credit Towards HTC Watch, HTC's Video Streaming Service

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News

If you have or will in the near future purchase an Evo LTE from Sprint, HTC has a special treat for you: $25 in movie money. HTC Watch, which is the Taiwanese company's offering in the streaming movie market, lets users buy or rent movies and TV shows, very similarly to how the Play Store operates. If you already have an Evo LTE, just sign up for an HTC Watch account and you should receive your credit immediately.

While we're still a little unsure how well HTC's video streaming service will do in the long run when even Google's own Play Movies is still trying to gain traction, free money is free money.

HTC Releases Kernel Source Code For T-Mobile One S, EVO 4G LTE

Posted by in Development, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, One S (Ville)

It may have taken over a month longer than the international version, but HTC has finally released the kernel source code for T-Mobile's version of the One S. HTC has offered no explanation for why the US model's source code was delayed for so long, but perhaps this means that the AT&T One X will see its kernel source released at some point.

They also released the kernel source for the EVO 4G LTE. Developers - or anyone who is interested - can grab the source code from the link below.

Sprint Officially Announces The HTC EVO 4G LTE In White, Available On July 15th For $199 On Contract

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, Sprint

Sprint hasn't been the most secretive about the white version of its EVO 4G LTE, as we've already seen. More than once. Now, though, The Now Network has officially taken the wraps off this white handset, and guess what? It's still two-toned. And To add insult to injury, the kickstand isn't red anymore.

HTC_Evo_4G_LTE_Jet_white_PDVB

I was really hoping for a sexy all-white device with that brilliant red kickstand, but it's clear that HTC and Sprint had a different vision: boring. Sure, it's clean, but it could've been so much more. Alas, that's not the point. I've digressed.

The white version houses the same guts as its black counterpart:

  • 4.7" 1280x720 display with Gorilla Glass
  • 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4
  • 1GB RAM
  • 16GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
  • 8MP f/2.0 rear shooter, 1.3MP front camera
  • Android 4.0 with Sense 4

If you've been holding out for this white EVO, your wait comes to an end in just a few days: it will be available on July 15th for $199 with a two-year agreement.

White EVO 4G LTE May Be Set To Land At Sprint July 15 Along With A Special Deal On the Epic 4G Touch

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, Sprint

Remember late last month when we caught what was alleged to be a white EVO 4G LTE on an inventory sheet and subsequently got a glimpse of the rumored device thanks to a suspect Sprint banner? Well, it looks like we can expect the snow-colored device to land at Sprint July 15th, according to TechnoBuffalo's "trusted source."

A white EVO LTE will probably come as no surprise to current Sprint subscribers or followers of the EVO line. Sprint has a habit of offering white versions of each iteration of the EVO, so it's only natural that the EVO LTE would follow suit.
