AT&T Sending Out An OTA Update To Allow Sideloading On Select Devices

Posted by in Aria (Liberty), AT&T, Captivate, Inspire 4G (Ace, Stallion), News

If you happen to own a Samsung Captivate, HTC Aria, or HTC Inspire 4G, then the dream of many, many Android owners on AT&T is about to be yours - the ability to legitimately sideload apps. AT&T lifted its sideloading-barrier on the newly released Samsung Infuse 4G, and naturally, the question arose: What about older Android devices? Now we have our answer.

This means that you will be able to enjoy the little pleasures that other Android users currently have - like the Amazon Appstore and non-market apps like wireless tether. According to the above document obtained by Android ...

AT&T U-verse Mobile TV App Now Available For (Select) AT&T Android Phones

Posted by in Applications, AT&T, News

 

I'm usually not too fond of carrier's bloatware, manufacturer's skins, and other causes of lag and potential frustration for end users (not to mention that I'm especially skeptical when it's coming from AT&T), but AT&T's new U-verse Mobile app for Android isn't looking too bad. To be clear, this isn't anything new; the app's already been available for the iPhone, the Blackberry, and the Xbox 360 in addition to being available on Windows Phone 7 devices at launch, but now it's made its way to our operating system of choice!

The app is only relevant to U-verse subscribers, and ...

HTC Announce Gratia For Europe, Looks Oddly Familiar

Posted by in Devices By Manufacturer, HTC, News

On the one hand, we have the Desire HD. People may call it the EVO 4G for Europe, but it really isn't. Here we have the newly unveiled HTC Gratia. People are calling it the HTC Aria for Europe, and that's exactly what it is. The hardware appears to be identical save for some new colours, which, considering people seem quite fond of the Aria in the USA, is probably a good thing.

Another point of interest is that the Gratia will be released this November with Froyo. That's surely a sticking point right now with Aria owners, and ...

HTC Aria Now Able To Side Load Apps Thanks To Sync Update

Posted by in Applications, Aria (Liberty), AT&T, HTC, News

Nobody was happy to learn that the HTC Aria would be locked down in the same way as its predecessor, the Backflip, and be unable to install non-Market apps. Fortunately, HTC has given Aria owners a sort of “fix” through an update in their desktop client.

The newest version of HTC Sync for Aria (which you can download for Windows here) gives users the ability to load an APK onto their phone, which means they now have access to a host of new apps that are not available on the Market. However, HTC did previously stress that the update ...

HTC Aria Rooted Two Days After Release, Instructions Are Live

Posted by in Aria (Liberty), HTC, Mods, News

This article mentions rooting and flashing of non-stock ROMs. If you’re unfamiliar with either term, hit up our primers here and here for additional information

After being out for just two days, the HTC Aria has been rooted. Turns out the method Android hacker and XDA-Devs forum member Eugene373 (you may remember him as the man who also rooted the MyTouch 3G Slide last Tuesday) used to hack the Slide works for the Aria as well.

The full root is a 19-step process, and while it isn’t exceedingly tricky, it isn’t simple either – first time rooters, beware. The root ...

HTC Aria Coming June 20th To AT&T, Initial Hands-On Impressions Surface

Posted by in Aria (Liberty), AT&T, Carriers, Devices By Manufacturer, HTC, News
Last Updated: June 17th, 2010

Good news, AT&T customers – starting June 20, AT&T will begin selling its first HTC Android device, the Aria. A few days ago, they (accidently?) released a video showing the HTC “Liberty” being tested. At the time, we speculated that it might actually be the HTC Aria we’d heard about before. Turns out we were probably correct, as various news outlets have been receiving the Aria to play around with, and they look to be one and the same.

The phone isn’t quite as high-end as other recent HTC outings on other networks (such as the EVO...

AT&T Accidentally Outs The HTC Liberty On Purpose

Posted by in Aria (Liberty), AT&T, Carriers, Devices By Manufacturer, HTC, News, Videos

 2010-06-11 20h41_49

Yeah, so the title may be a bit confusing, but it’s more or less an accurate summary. Basically, AT&T released a (promo?) video detailing their testing procedure for Android phones, in which Dante Martin, a device product manager at AT&T, waves around a HTC Android handset that looks a whole lot like the Aria whose leaked pictures were outed a few weeks ago.

In addition to those leaked pictures, ROM developer Coinflipper sent Android Central a render of a HTC device dubbed the ‘Liberty’. The device in the render is very similar to the device in the leaked ...
