HTC EVO View 4G On Sprint Reaches Its End Of Life, Will Part From This World On January 29

Posted by Cameron Summerson in EVO 4G (Supersonic), EVO View 4G, News, Sprint

In the tech world, devices come and go fairly often. Once it's determined that a device has worn out its welcome, it ends up where no one wants to be: on the EoL (end-of-life) list. The latest EoL list to make it way into the mainstream is from Sprint, and it looks like the HTC EVO View 4G will be phased out beginning on January 29th.

The EVO View 4G will be joined by a few other random devices, including the Blackberry Playbook and the phone that will not die - the EVO 4G. In fact, this is at least ...

[Updated] Carriers Sending Out An OTA Update To Fix Massive Security Flaw In Several HTC Devices

Posted by Cameron Summerson in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO 4G (Supersonic), EVO Design 4G, EVO View 4G, News, Thunderbolt (Mecha)

At the beginning of the month, we broke the news about a huge security vulnerability in several HTC phones, including the Thunderbolt, EVO 3D, EVO 4G, and possibly more. Not long after word of this issue hit the 'net, HTC issued a response acknowledging it, as well as promising to deliver a patch to correct it. Looks like they are making good on that promise now, as several HTC devices are currently receiving an OTA update to correct this vulnerability.

So far, we've confirmed that the EVO 3D, EVO 4G, EVO View 4G, and EVO Design 4G on Sprint are ...

Massive Security Vulnerability In HTC Android Devices (EVO 3D, 4G, Thunderbolt, Others) Exposes Phone Numbers, GPS, SMS, Emails Addresses, Much More

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO 4G (Supersonic), HTC, News, Thunderbolt (Mecha), Videos

Last Updated: January 17th, 2012

I am quite speechless right now. Justin Case and I have spent all day together with Trevor Eckhart (you may remember him as TrevE of DamageControl and Virus ROMs) looking into Trev's findings deep inside HTC's latest software installed on such phones as EVO 3D, EVO 4G, Thunderbolt, and others.

These results are not pretty. In fact, they expose such ridiculously frivolous doings, which HTC has no one else to blame but itself, that the data-leaking Skype vulnerability Justin found earlier this year pales in comparison. Without further ado, let me break things down.

All Good (And Not So Good) Things Must Come To An End: HTC EVO 4G And Kyocera Echo Make Sprint's EOL List

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Echo, EVO 4G (Supersonic), News, Sprint

It's a bittersweet feeling when one of the most revolutionary devices to hit the market ends up on a carrier's EOL (End of Life) list. While it's generally realized that the device itself is old hat, its retirement indicates that newer, better, and more powerful devices are upon us.

This is the case for one of Android's most celebrated success stories: the HTC EVO 4G. According an internal Sprint document obtained by SprintFeed, the white variant of the EVO 4G will meet its demise at the end of this week, while the black one will hang on for just ...

Android Boot Times Compared: Epic 4G Touch Vs EVO 3D Vs EVO 4G Vs Thunderbolt. Psst, HTC, This Is Just Embarrassing

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Epic 4G Touch, EVO 3D (Shooter), EVO 4G (Supersonic), HTC, News, Samsung, Sprint, Thunderbolt (Mecha), Verizon Wireless, Videos

Last Updated: September 24th, 2011

Last night, I sent out a message from our social accounts praising the Epic 4G Touch's boot times. They amazed me as soon as I turned this Galaxy S II Sprint variant for the first time last Friday and haven't ceased to amaze me ever since. I have loaded up all the same apps and then some compared to any of my other phones, and still - the Epic 4G Touch blazes by the competition like no other device I've seen.

I promised you guys a video comparing the boot times of E4GT with the EVO 4G. Sure, that didn't ...

HTC Sense 3.5 Up And Running On EVO 4G - Clear Step Up From 3.0

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Dev, EVO 4G (Supersonic), News

Something that I love about the Android development community is that developers are always looking for the newest thing to beef up current devices. The case of HTC's Sense 3.5 is no different. The newest iteration of HTC's overlay was obtained from a dump belonging the HTC Bliss, a yet-to-be-released phone that will come with Sense 3.5 baked in. Ostensibly a split-second later, Senior XDA developer Evokings got 3.5-based ROM to the EVO 4G. The new version of Sense is already available on the Droid Incredible, the Incredible 2, and a few other HTC devices.
