Download: EVO View 4G Full Release Firmware Leaked, Get It Now

Posted by David Ruddock in Development, EVO View 4G, HTC, News, Sprint

911sniper has done it again - this time with a full RUU (full release firmware) from the upcoming EVO View 4G, Sprint's 4G-ified version of the now-available HTC Flyer (the latter is on sale now at Best Buy).

The hefty file weighs in at a staggering 522MB - and given the massive load that's going to be placed on 911sniper's mirror, we're going to try and get a copy of it up on our own high-speed mirror in the next hour (as soon as we finish downloading it), so that the community can get cracking on this thing.

Full RUU files allow developers to get their hands on what are often older flashable ROMs, which may contain unfixed exploits allowing rooting or bootloader unlocking.

Another Reason To Look Forward To HTC Sense 3.0 - Its 18 Gorgeous Weather Animations [Video]

The upcoming version of Sense 3.0, found on such devices as the HTC Sensation, Sensation 4G, EVO 3D, Flyer, and EVO View 4G, will offer polish of unprecedented quality to the custom software layer HTC puts on all of its non-Nexus devices. The new lockscreen widgets and quick controls, spinning homescreens, updated camera software, and snappiness are just some of the features Sense 3.0 brings to the table (some nice demos here).

And here's another one - the Sense Weather has gotten a complete makeover - if you thought the regular Sense Weather widgets were to die for, wait till you see what 3.0's got in store.

HTC EVO View 4G System Dump Leaks Online - Here Are The New Wallpapers Contained Within

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Development, EVO View 4G, HTC, News, Sprint

The 1.5GHz 7" HTC EVO View 4G tablet doesn't even have a definitive release date on Sprint outside of "this summer," but that didn't stop the infamous 911sniper HTC ROM blog from releasing the full dump yesterday, full of EVO View's guts. After downloading and looking through it in hopes of delicious goodies (wallpapers, ringtones, etc), I was disappointed to see pretty much nothing new besides a bunch of 1200x1024px static wallpapers.

Curiously, these wallpapers are different from the Flyer (which is what this device is called outside of the U.S.) dump a few weeks back. Since they are meant for devices with a 1024x600 resolution, I can't guarantee they'll look correctly on every one out there, although I did manage to successfully load them up on my EVO using JustPictures.

HTC Takes A Deep Dive Look At The Flyer Tablet In A Detailed 6-Minute Video

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in EVO View 4G, Flyer, HTC, News, Videos

HTC Flyer, also known as the HTC View 4G in the U.S. on Sprint, is one of the more interesting Android tablets coming out within the next few months, due to its superfast 1.5GHz processor, a perfect for many (as the Nook Color and Galaxy Tab showed) 7" size, palm rejection technology, and the Scribe digital pen.

Sure, we got a few hands-on here and there, but nobody can be as good as HTC itself at highlighting the best features of the tablet, at least until we get our own review units.

In this 6-minute video that surfaced a few hours ago, HTC showcases the tablet's aluminum unibody construction, sleek looks, the new Sense for tablets with improved homescreen swiping, gaming, video playback, and the Scribe pen.

Hands-On Video And Photos of The HTC View 4G

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in EVO View 4G, HTC, News

The second of our HD videos from yesterday's Sprint press conference has finally been uploaded (no thanks to the ultra-crappy WiFi everywhere...). Once again, a quick recap of the specs:

1.5GHz single-core CPU
1GB RAM
32 GB internal storage
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), will be updated to Android 3.0
Sense UI
WiMAX (4G)
Stylus

As mentioned in our hands-on with the EVO 3D, the View 4G features a new connector port dubbed MHL. It combines the functions of microUSB and microHDMI into one port. For more details, hit up our primer.

All things considered, the View 4G has potential in a lot of ways.

Hands-On Video And Photos Of The HTC EVO 3D

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO View 4G, HTC, News, Sprint

After the Sprint press conference officially ended, they quite literally pulled back the curtains to reveal a large viewing area, with a team of Sprint and HTC employees available to demo the HTC EVO 3D and View 4G. While we weren't allowed to get our mitts on the EVO 3D, we were allowed to play with the View 4G a bit. In both cases, the employees on the floor provided a quick hands-on of the devices. We managed to snag some HD video of the demonstrations for both devices, as well as a few photos.

As a reminder, the EVO 3D specs:

1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm CPU
1GB RAM
4GB ROM
8GB microSD card in box (supports up to 32GB)
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
Sense UI
Glasses-free 3D display
WiMAX (4G)
Dual 5MP cameras for 3D recording

The EVO 3D uses a new port called micro high-definition link (MHL), which combines microUSB and microHDMI into one port.

HTC EVO 3D And View 4G Use A Single MHL Port That Allows For Both MicroUSB And HDMI Charging - Yes, Your TV Will Charge Your Devices

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO View 4G, Galaxy S II, HTC, News

Something that surprised me at the CTIA conference yesterday was the connector port used in both the HTC EVO 3D and View 4G. Instead of 2 distinct standards, like on the EVO 4G - MicroUSB and MicroHDMI - the new EVO devices have only 1 port that uses the brand new MHL technology (Mobile High-Definition Link). And it is brilliant.

The MHL 1.0 standard, finalized a few months ago, uses a single port to connect both HDMI and MicroUSB, and get this - it is able to charge via HDMI as well. Your MHL-enabled TV, connected to your mobile device via an MHL-HDMI cable, will be able to charge it much faster than MicroUSB.

EVO 3D and EVO View 4G Officially Announced - Dual-Core EVO 3D Doesn't Have A Kickstand

Posted by Will Shanklin in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO View 4G, News, Sprint

As expected, Sprint just unveiled their upcoming EVO 3D handset and the EVO View 4G tablet. Both devices will have WiMax capabilities on Sprint's "4G" network (there was no mention of LTE, as Sprint is rumored to be transitioning to). No prices were announced today, and the release was announced as "this summer" (we expect a June-July release to compete with the iPhone 5).

HTC EVO 3D

As seen in our live blog of the event, the EVO 3D will have a 4.3" stereoscopic (for glasses-free 3D) qHD display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and dual 5MP rear cameras that capture 3D.

HTC EVO 3D and EVO View 4G Tablet Pages Appear On Sprint

Posted by Abhiroop Basu in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO View 4G, HTC, News, Sprint

Sprint is leaking like a sieve this week. Just yesterday a search result revealed the Nexus S 4G shortly before its release and today two registration pages popped up on the Sprint website with images of the yet to be announced HTC EVO 3D and the HTC EVO View 4G Tablet.

These pages don't reveal many details about devices themselves, simply allowing you to register your interest for future notifications. Rumours about the 1.2GHz dual-core EVO 3D and the 1.5GHz single-core EVO View 4G tablet sprang up earlier this month and with the Nexus S 4G confirmed it is likely only a matter of time before the smartphone and tablet, pictured above, are formally launched.

New Leak Details Specs Of HTC EVO 3D, EVO View 4G, Confirms Sprint-Bound Motorola XOOM

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO View 4G, Flyer, HTC, Motorola, News, Sprint, XOOM

The rumor mill has been abuzz with gossip about Sprint's CTIA event lately, and if BGR's sources are to be believed, the speculation was spot-on: the conference will indeed be centered around the HTC EVO 3D and EVO View 4G, with a WiMAX version of the Motorola XOOM making an appearance as well.

EVO 3D

First up, we have the EVO 3D - HTC's first foray into three-dimensional territory - which will reportedly feature:

A 4.3-inch qHD (960x540) autostereoscopic 3D display
4GB of RAM (I'm thinking this is a typo - even powerhouses like the XOOM and the Atrix only have 1GB of RAM)
1GB of ROM
A 1.2GHz Qualcomm 8660 Snapdragon CPU
Dual 5MP rear cameras; dedicated camera button included
A 1.3MP front-facing camera
A 1730mAh battery
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with HTC's Sense UI
Blockbuster on-demand
YouTube 3D

Just as expected, the EVO View 4G is almost exactly the same tablet as the (admittedly underwhelming) Flyer that HTC demoed at MWC.
