Sprint Will Be Pushing A Small OTA Update To The HTC EVO 3D Beginning On February 21

Posted by in EVO 3D (Shooter), News, Sprint

It's been about seven months since the all-but-forgotten EVO 3D saw its last over-the-air update, which brought Android 4.0 to the handset. Sprint hasn't given up on the 3D oddity just yet, however – a small update will begin making its way to the device beginning on February 21st.

It will bring build 2.95.615.4, and include a couple of small fixes and one lone "enhancement:"

Enhancements

  • Sprint Connection Optimizer

Fixes

  • AVI Files unable to stream or play via DLNA
  • Launching Messaging app loading time

Yeah, it's not very exciting. Nonetheless, when an update hits your phone later this week, at least you'll know what's in it.

CyanogenMod 9 Is Coming To The HTC EVO 3D (GSM), Nightlies Now Available

Posted by in EVO 3D (Shooter), News

When CyanogenMod 9.0 stable was released a couple of weeks ago, the list of supported devices was dominated by Samsung and Sony Ericsson phones. Fortunately, the team has been hard at work since then to bring the popular firmware to as many devices as possible, and HTC EVO 3D owners will be glad to know that they can download a nightly build of CM 9 right now.

The build is currently available only for GSM models of the device, with CDMA remaining unsupported at the moment. Hopefully, as development progresses a little more, it will become available for both varieties of the phone.

Sprint Announces HTC EVO 3D And EVO Design Will Be Updated To Ice Cream Sandwich By Early August

Posted by in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO Design 4G, News

If you bought a pre-LTE Evo phone in the last year and you've been feeling left out in the cold, worry not. Sprint and HTC are in the process of bringing Ice Cream Sandwich to your device. If your device happens to be an Evo 3D or Evo Design, that is. The older flagship Evo and this year's midrange phone are slated to reach Android 4.0 sometime in August.

2012-07-16_17h59_33

Yes, we know that once again, it's not Jelly Bean. Of course, Ice Cream Sandwich is a huge departure from Gingerbread and apparently it's not unusual for updates to take a while.

Ice Cream Sandwich Now Rolling Out To Unbranded EVO 3Ds

Posted by in EVO 3D (Shooter), News

Owners of unlocked versions of HTC's EVO 3D are starting to see the Ice Cream Sandwich update roll out across the globe; we've already seen reports of users receiving the update in Germany, Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and more.

The OTA update brings Android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6 to the other-dimensional handset, but if you just can't stand the wait, XDA user AcerExtensa has pulled the update file and included instructions on how to flash it without updating hboot. This of course will break root, but getting it back is as simple as flashing another file.

This is only for unlocked EVO 3Ds and is not compatible with the Sprint variant of the device!

HTC Publishes Official, Detailed List Of Phones To Get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Updates

Posted by in Desire HD (Ace), EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO Design 4G, HTC, Incredible 2 (Vivow), Incredible S (Vivo), Rezound, Rhyme, Sensation / Sensation 4G (Pyramid), Sensation XE, Sensation XL, Thunderbolt (Mecha), Vivid

The title should make this one obvious. HTC has published a brand-new list of its devices to get Android 4.0, but the difference between this one and previous lists is the level of detail. Most phones have a target OTA deployment range of 2 months, significantly more precise than the typical "quarterly" guestimates we see manufacturers publish generally. Here's the list:

DROID Incredible 2 by HTC: To be determined (by the end of August)

HTC Amaze 4G: May-June

HTC Desire S: June-July

HTC Desire HD: July-August

HTC EVO 3D: June-July

HTC EVO 4G+: May-June

HTC EVO Design 4G: June-July

HTC Incredible S: June-July

HTC Sensation: March-June

HTC Sensation 4G: March-June

HTC Sensation XE: March-June

HTC Sensation XL: April-Jun

HTC Rezound: June-July

HTC Rhyme: June-July

HTC Thunderbolt: July-August

HTC Velocity 4G: March-June

HTC Vivid: March-June

A few notable absentees include the Inspire 4G (which is a Desire HD variant), EVO 4G, EVO Shift 4G, myTouch 4G, Status, and Wildfire S - though most of those weren't expected to get the update in the first place.

[Update: Yep, It's Gone] Amber Alert: HTC EVO 3D Missing From Sprint's Site - Has It Suddenly Reached Its End Of Life?

Posted by in EVO 3D (Shooter), News, Sprint

Update: We've gotten official word from Sprint - the EVO 3D is officially on the way out:

The award-winning HTC EVO 3D is no longer available through Sprint.com. Quantities are limited, but customer can still get HTC EVO 3D at Sprint Stores nationwide.

Sprint PR

So here's an interesting little fact: if you go to Sprint's site right now and look for the EVO 3D, you won't find it. Really. Go look for yourself, we'll wait.

Back? Told you it was gone. The bigger question here, though, is why. And for that, we don't quite have a good answer. Perhaps Sprint said "you know what, we don't like this thing anymore.
