HTC One V Makes Its US Premiere With Virgin Mobile - Available Today For $200

Posted by in HTC, News, One V (Primo), Virgin Mobile

A few months back, HTC let slip that the lowest-end member of its One family, the One V, would hit "a variety of US partners" come summer. It looks like that rollout is already firing up, as Virgin Mobile USA today announced that it's now selling the prepaid handset for $199.99.

As with all other members of the One series, Virgin Mobile's One V will come with Beats audio and Sense 4 on top of ICS, for better or for worse. As a reminder, here's the full spec list:

  • 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255
  • Adreno 205 GPU vinyl
  • 512MB RAM
  • 4GB ROM (1GB available for apps) with microSD slot
  • 3.7-inch 480 x 800 display
  • 1500mAh non-removable battery
  • 5MP rear camera
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • FM Radio
  • Dimensions: 4.73" (L) x 2.35" (W) x 0.36" (D)
  • Weight: 4.06 ounces
  • Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 4.0

Needless to say, the One V isn't going to be breaking any records in terms of horsepower, but considering it's only $199.99 prepaid (no contract), it should be worth a look for Virgin Mobile customers nonetheless.

Beats Me: Why HTC's "Amazing Sound" On The International One X Isn't Amazing At All - Even By The Numbers

Posted by in Editorials, HTC, News, One X (Endeavor)

HTC's marketing of Beats Audio on its One Series handsets has rapidly become a joke among critics and internet commentators alike. And that's probably putting it nicely. The fact that the entirety of the Beats "enhancements" found on aforementioned phones has been zipped up and packaged to flash on any Android 2.3+ handset has, at least in the collective minds of the internet, exposed the Beats partnership for what it is: equalization software and a fancy logo.

I've used all of HTC's One Series products aside from the One V; that is to say, the One X, XL (AT&T One X), and S.

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!

Droid Incredible 4G LTE Slated For A July 5th Release, According To Leaked Internal Verizon Document

Posted by in Incredible 4G, Leaks, News

Verizon announced the Droid Incredible 4G LTE back in May, and... well, that's it. We haven't heard anything else about the device since (on an official level, anyway), even though it was supposed to be available in "the coming weeks" after the announcement. In all fairness, "weeks" could be any range of time, but we generally think of that as two or three, not seven or nineteen.

Finally, though, a probably release date has leaked. According to Verizon's internal Equipment Guide, the release date for the Incredible 4G LTE is... July 5th! That's almost eight weeks to the date after Verizon officially announced the device.

Sprint Banner May Have Spilled The Beans On A White EVO 4G LTE

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

In all honesty, I get a little more excited than I probably should when it seems like someone's marketing department has accidentally revealed juicy details. Today, after seeing Jelly Bean 4.1 teased in a thumbnail image and checkout page (which was quickly redacted), it seems that Sprint may have let slip the existence of a white version of the HTC EVO 4G LTE. In a banner found on the Now Network's website earlier today, we see a white Samsung Galaxy SII (nothing surprising there) right next to a white and silver version of the EVO LTE.

Whether this was just a last minute color-swap to create a more visually cohesive banner or a secret hint at a whiter, brighter EVO LTE is still up for debate.

Verizon Hasn't Forgotten About The OG Droid Incredible, Has A Small OTA (Build 4.08.605.15) Update 'Coming Soon'

Posted by in Incredible, News

And you thought carriers/manufacturers didn't care about their customers! You should be ashamed of yourself! Turns out that carriers actually do care - why else would Big Red be preparing an OTA update for the old school Droid Incredible. Sure, it's far from a major update, but it it something:

Device Features, Improvements, & Fixes

  • Record and send a Visual Voice Mail to up to 10 recipients while seeing all parties in a list.
  • Improvements made in Bluetooth Car connectivity.

Applications & Widgets

  • Resolved issue where purchases Verizon App ringtones could not be saved to the device.

It's not much, but there's something to be said about an OTA update coming to a two-year old device.

HTC EVO LTE Users Now Totally Locked Out Of Google Wallet – "Wallet Has Not Yet Been Certified…On Your Device / Carrier"

Posted by in Android OS, Applications, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, Sprint
Last Updated: August 2nd, 2012

Many users, upon booting up their brand new EVO LTEs over the past few weeks, were confused to find that Google Wallet would stick in the "adding prepaid card" dialogue, often returning an error message which encouraged users to try again later. It soon became apparent that this issue was limited to the EVO LTE, as it was discovered that modifying the device's build.prop to identify as a Galaxy Nexus returned the app to full functionality.

A few days ago, though, Wallet began telling EVO LTE users that "Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device / carrier," locking users out of the app entirely, leading to frustration, confusion, and (of course) rumors regarding the meaning of the app's shifty behavior.

App Developed By XDA Member Stops EVO 4G LTE And One X / S / V From Deep-Sleeping At Night, No Root Required

Posted by in Applications, Apps/Games, Development, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, One S (Ville), One V (Primo), One X (Endeavor), One XL (Evita), Tips & Tutorials

Have you been annoyed by the "SmartSync" battery-saving feature found on HTC's newest phones? If you're not familiar with this aspect of Sense 4.0, that might make, well, sense. HTC has been fairly quiet about how exactly its battery optimizations in Sense work, but SmartSync is a big part of it, especially when it comes to saving juice overnight.

All Sense 4 phones (HTC One X, XL, S, V and EVO 4G LTE) utilize this feature to reduce battery consumption in the wee-hours, specifically from 12AM to 7AM. After 15 minutes of inactivity (no emails, screen off, etc.) in this time frame, Sense 4 phones go into "SmartSync" mode - deactivating all data connections and turning off sync.
