Amazon Wireless Finally Starts Selling Sprint Phones

Artem Russakovskii — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 17:30:00 +0000

One of the best places to buy your next Android smartphone is, undoubtedly, Amazon.com, due to its excellent customer service, aggressive pricing, abundance of conveniently placed user reviews, lack of tax, and free shipping. Even better, a few months ago, Amazon opened up a dedicated Amazon Wireless store to concentrate on competitively selling cell phones and service, including support for existing customer upgrades, family plans, and much more competitive deals.

One obvious omission in the Amazon Wireless store has been a complete lack of Sprint devices and plans. Sprint support was said to be coming for months, and while Sprint ...

Universal Androot Hits The Market, Now Supports One-Click Rooting Of 23 Android Phones

Jaroslav Stekl — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 03:43:00 +0000

Update: As Artation has pointed out in the comments below, Universal Androot has since been removed from the Market for unknown reasons. If you're still heartbent on using it though, you can download it it from here.

If you can think back to the time Universal Androot was released, you'll recall the then small xda-developers startup that allowed for one-click rooting of a very limited number of phones, all of which had to be running Android 2.1 Eclair or lower.

Now, the app has hit the Market and is ready for prime time with support for a multitude ...

Updates For HTC EVO 4G And Hero Now Rolling Out, Bug Fixes Abound

Jaroslav Stekl — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 01:03:12 +0000

Thought the Fascinate was the only device getting a ~~super exciting~~ bug-fixing update today? Wrong!

As it turns out, Sprint's just decided to push out updates to not one, but two devices: the infamous HTC EVO 4G, and its slightly older brother, the Hero. The former of those two devices is, according to Sprint's official changelog, getting an update that fixes an issue with multiple GMail Account syncing as well as an issue with calendar event editing... and nothing else.

However, Engadget has managed to grab a screen shot from an internal Sprint document that also acknowledges fixes of ...

CyanogenMod 6.0.0 Final/Stable For HTC Hero CDMA Released

Artem Russakovskii — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 16:15:00 +0000

CyanogenMod 6 is one of the most popular Android custom ROMs, and for a good reason - besides supporting a myriad of devices, it is built from AOSP (Android Open Source Project), which means no extra garbage that normally comes installed by carriers and customizations/improvements for the people, by the people (the CM contributor community is huge).

Sprint has abandoned our beloved HTC Hero (it was my first Android device a bit under a year ago now and holds a special place in my heart) but the Android community hasn't. The Hero lives on - in fact it has ...

Back To School With Android: The Budget Phones And Awesome Apps That Will Help You Get Through The Year

Nate Kimmey — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:56:20 +0000

Phones

Not everyone needs a new phone at this time of year, especially as you probably got your last one some time around Christmas, but if you’re in the market for a decent Android phone on your college-sized budget, here’s the what you’re looking at if you’re one of the four major carriers:

Verizon

Motorola Droid - Affordable doesn’t necessarily have to mean cheap, and such is the case with the original Motorola Droid. While Verizon itself no longer carries the original, (it’s been dropped in favor of the Droid 2) it can be had for the price of $0.00

CyanogenMod 6.0 Final Released

Aaron Gingrich — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 12:46:38 +0000

Looks like CyanogenMod 6, Android's most popular ROM, has made its way out of the RC's and into final release. I've been running CM6 on my EVO for a little over a month now, and I love it. And as most people know, CM6 now covers a fair number of devices:

Nexus One
Droid
Dream/Sapphire
Hero (GSM/CDMA)
Incredible
Slide
EVO
Galaxy S (Vibrant)
Aria

The above links lead to the CM6 info/download post on CM forums. The devices with no hyperlink don't have CM6 final yet - though they may have experimental builds (for example, the Incredible is on RC3). ...

Universal Androot App Offers One-Click Root On A Multitude Of Devices (G1, Nexus One, Droid, Droid X, Hero, X10, Streak, And More)

Artem Russakovskii — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 06:03:00 +0000

Looking for an easy way to root your Android Device? Universal Androot may just be what the doctor ordered. The one-click root fad seems to be catching on and Universal Androot is an app that covers multiple Android devices, making it easier for those who may be reluctant experience the mighty wonders of root.

Universal Androot is the simplest root/unroot method I have seen to date and probably the safest - it has been confirmed as working by multiple users (apparently it uses the same exploit used to 1-click root the Motorola Droid X).

Note: This application just gives you

CyanogenMod 6 Continues Its Rampage, Launches Nightlies For HTC Aria and CDMA HTC Hero

Aaron Gingrich — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 23:53:00 +0000

CyanogenMod 6 is continuing its rampage: last night the first Nightly build of CM6 was released for the HTC Aria (a.k.a. the Liberty) and CDMA HTC Hero. This should make the users of these phones quite happy - CM is the single most popular Android ROM, and for good reason.

unrEVOked Releases Details On Now-Patched Security Vulnerabilities In EVO, Hero

Aaron Gingrich — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 12:53:00 +0000

Before the EVO launched, Matt Mastracci and the crew at unrevoked announced that the EVO and Hero had a serious security vulnerability. In turn, this made the phones easy to root – but they still recommended that people either hold off on buying the phone unless they were going to root, or an OTA update was released patching the flaws. It looks like the latest OTA did just that, as they’ve released details on their Wiki.

The crew at UR suspects that these vulnerabilities were for debugging, and were never removed before the phone went to manufacture. ...
