Sprint's LG Optimus S Finally Getting Gingerbread (Again) Beginning On April 4th

Posted by in News, Optimus S, Sprint

Do you have an LG Optimus S? Are you tired of running Froyo? Do you long for something newer, even if it's already outdated? Good news! Sprint plans to re-push Gingerbread to the Optimus S starting just two days from now, on April 4th. This time, however, it should be free of awful bugs that broke things like predictive text, charging, and USB mass storage.

As you can see, the update brings more than just Gingerbread to the device; it also brings quite a few other enhancements and fixes, including:

  • Device not charging
  • SD card un-mounting error
  • Device not recognized by Windows XP, Vista, or 7 operating systems
  • Predictive Text with Android Keyboard issue
  • Voice call volume issue
  • Android 2.3 (Gingerbread):
  • Updated color scheme (includes darker notification bar and black-based menus)  
  • New on-screen keyboard (supports multi-touch input and a  smart auto-correction function)
  • Improved cut-paste functionality
  • New integrated download application for ease in accessing downloaded files
  • Updated camera application
  • Power management and task killer applications

The update will rollout in stages, with all users having received it within 21 days.

Sprint's Samsung Galaxy Nexus Could Be Launching On April 22, According To Leaked Wal-Mart Document

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, Leaks, News, Rumors, Sprint

Okay, I know what you're thinking: isn't the Sprint GNex coming out on April 15th? Well... maybe. Actually, we're not sure now - according to a new document obtained by The Verge, it could actually be coming out exactly one week later, on April 22.

Despite the fact that the earlier leak came from a highly trusted source, this image appears to be legit, as all of the other dates are spot-on. So, if you're determined to get your hands on the very first Sprint LTE device out of the gate, it looks like the LG Viper is still on-schedule to hit on the 15th.

Posted by in Leaks, News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX, Verizon Wireless

Looks like Rezound a RAZR/Maxx owners could be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich as early as next week, if this leaked document from Best Buy that just landed in our inbox is to be believed.

As you can clearly see, Wednesday, April 4th is slated to be the day that the RAZR twins see the Android 4.0 update; while the Rezound update should begin rolling out just two days later.

Now, we realize that it's pretty close to April Fool's Day, so before you scream out "Fake!", we've already reached out to our sources to verify the validity of the image, and it appears to be the real deal.

AT&T's HTC One X Release Date Possibly Outed As May 6th, According To Best Buy

Posted by in AT&T, Leaks, News, One X (Endeavor)

Many AT&T customers have been chomping at the bit waiting for any word on when the upcoming HTC One X could hit the scene, and thanks to Best Buy, we may finally have an idea as to when that may be.

2012-03-30 10h18_34

The Double B has been taking pre-orders for the One X for a few weeks now, but even then, didn't tell customers when they could expect their glorious new handset to arrive. However, one customer recently received an email from Best Buy stating that the "release date for [their] pre-ordered item" had changed to May 6, 2012.

Since we didn't actually know of a release date in the first place, we're not entirely sure what "changed" about this, but that makes little difference now.

Details About The Upcoming LG Optimus Elite Leak - It's The Lowest Of The Low End... But Has NFC

Posted by in News, Sprint, Virgin Mobile

Images and details about the upcoming LG Optimus Elite for Sprint and its prepaid subsidiary Virgin Mobile have made their way to the internet, and the only thing I can say about it is this is one confused device, and it couldn't be further from 'elite'.

LG-Optimus-Elite-Sprint LG-Optimus-Elite-Virgin

While this device may not look half bad, under the hood it's the most underwhelming thing that we've seen in many months - save for one unexpected feature on a device like this.

  • 3.2-inch display
  • 800MHz single-core processor
  • 5MP camera
  • Android 2.3
  • NFC

See that last option? Yeah, this thing has NFC. It's unclear as to what market this phone is even for.

[Rumor] HTC One S Possibly Hitting T-Mobile On April 22

Posted by in Leaks, News, One S (Ville), Rumors, T-Mobile

If you're waiting for the One S to hit T-Mobile, a new piece of information just hit the scene that may be of interest to you. This particular piece of information clearly shows the release date for the device: April 22.

Screen-Shot-2012-03-29-at-8.20.47-AM

You know the drill with this sort of thing, though: this is just a rumor and it could change at a moments notice. With that said, this leak appears to be pretty official, so it looks like T-Mo is pretty dang close to getting its first HTC device with ICS (if the Amaze or Sensation updates don't roll out first, that is).

Sprint Says No More WiMax Devices Ever, Promises To Launch 15 LTE Devices By Year's End

Posted by in News, Sprint

It's only been a couple years since the EVO launched as not only the first WiMax phone, but the first "4G" phone (by carrier reckoning). Now, though, Sprint says that not only will there be no more WiMax phones, which we knew earlier, but no more WiMax devices at all. That means hotspots and tablets will also lack any WiMax antennae. Don't worry, though. Sprint has promised 15 LTE devices by year's end.

Sprint's LTE plans have been no secret, although not without a fair amount of bumps in the road.  Still, Sprint insists that its LTE plans are on schedule.

T-Mobile Announces Ice Cream Sandwich Updates For The Amaze 4G And Sensation, But Gives No Other Details

Posted by in Amaze 4G (Ruby), News, Sensation / Sensation 4G (Pyramid), T-Mobile

Good news for T-Mo customers with either the HTC Sensation 4G or the Amaze 4G: ICS is coming your way... sometime in the future. T-Mobile just updated its support documents for each device stating that they will be getting Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's just not sure when that's going to happen.

2012-03-29 11h52_03

2012-03-29 11h51_34

There are no other details available at this time, either - but it's still nice to know that Magenta loves you enough to go ahead and put the info out there that you will be getting ICS. T-Mobile should update the support docs accordingly as new information becomes available, so we'll definitely be keeping an eye out for any new developments.

New Rumors About Sprint's Variant Of The HTC One X Surface, Could Be Called The EVO One

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, One X (Endeavor), Rumors, Sprint
Last Updated: April 4th, 2012

So here we go - the rumor mill is really starting to churn out some seemingly solid details about Sprint's supposed version of the upcoming HTC One X. We first heard about this device shortly after the One X's official announcement back at Mobile World Congress, then rumored to be called the Jewel. Rumors later suggested the name internal name was actually Jet, but few other details have made their way to the masses - until now. 

I briefly suggested that the name of the device could be the EVO LTE, as it's said to be the newest successor in the EVO line.
