The EVO 4G LTE is barely out of the oven and already it’s been rooted. Those XDA Developers sure work at an accelerated pace. An easy one-click solution has been made available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X users, which can install both busybox and superuser. That means owners get freewheeling access to tinker their

The circumstances were tricky and annoying and unfortunately left a slight blemish on an otherwise very exciting release from Sprint. While the ITC exclusion delay was out of the carrier’s hands, it’s good to know Sprint still has a “Customers First” mentality now that the HTC EVO 4G LTE is being shipped. According to The

If you were to tell me you have plans to buy the Transformer Pad 300, I’d tell you it’s an excellent tablet. Then I’d recommend you hold off for a month or so, because an upgraded version looks to be hitting AT&T very soon. So far as we could tell, the FCC filing seems to

What sounds cooler and more futuristic than the HTC One X moniker? How about “HTC One XL?” HTC on Wednesday said the device, first announced during Mobile World Congress in February, is slated to hit Europe in June. The One XL is similar to the international One X. Instead of launching with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset

Samsung’s Galaxy Note will be the catalyst for a new era of devices that combine the large screens of tablets with smartphones. The device is lovingly referred to as a “phablet,” combing the word “phone” and “tablet,” and has already been successful on a global scale. ABI Research said in a report Wednesday that it

Sprint has reportedly started shipping the EVO 4G LTE to customers who pre-ordered the phone. The carrier originally promised that it would begin getting them out its doors by May 24th, and Engadget readers say they have started to receive shipment notifications. The EVO 4G LTE and AT&T’s HTC One X were stuck in Customs as the government body

Canada’s Bell is now rolling out its Ice Cream Sandwich updates for the HTC Sensation 4G and Raider 4G LTE. If you haven’t received a push notification advising of the software update, you can go the manual route and grab the update via your phone’s settings. Bell advises that your phone is fully charged for

If you’re an HTC owner still treading older Android waters, feel safe in knowing that Ice Cream Sandwich is just on the horizon. The handset maker revealed a brand new detailed look at which of its devices will get Android 4.0 and, most importantly, when. Many of the devices included in the timeline have a

A research paper from the University of Michigan will be presented at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy claims that researchers were able to use a carrier exploit which allowed them to hijack connections to Facebook, Twitter, AdMob, Windows Live Messenger and spoof financial institutions. The exploit tricks carrier firewalls by manipulating TCP sequence numbers and can

The HTC EVO 4G LTE’s road to the U.S. has been bumpy to say the least. The phone was delayed past its original May 18 release date because of an ITC exclusion, but it’s about to start shipping again. Sprint reached out to Engadget and revealed good news for those who pre-ordered online. The carrier says the

The very first Tizen-powered smartphones, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems are expected to launch during the second half of this year, according to one industry report. Tizen, which was originally announced in September 2011, combines aspects of Intel’s MeeGo platform as well as Samsung’s LiMo operating system and is expected to launch to manufacturers at the end of

Attention HTC Amaze 4G owners, the wait for Ice Cream Sandwich is finally over. Starting today, T-Mobile is officially rolling out an over-the-air push to HTC Amaze 4Gs across the land, but if you’re unable to wait, you can initiate the software update via your phone’s settings. Please note that in order to get this

Good news for those looking for out-of-stock HTC phones: U.S. customs have started releasing them.

And here we thought the only device’s affected by the ITC exclusion order were the One X and EVO 4G LTE. Wrong. According to TmoNews, it appears HTC’s extended family may also be finding it hard to pass through U.S. borders, with the Amaze 4G particularly hard to come by. An email sent to at

AT&T is sold out of the One X on its website. Thankfully, the phone launched early enough that several third-party retailers, such as Amazon and Target, still have stock. Sprint just launched its EVO 4G LTE flagship phone, but it’s impossible to find that device. You might want to blame Apple or HTC for the delay, but

AT&T’s One X has been well received by consumers and critics alike, but this high-end stunner is currently hard to come by and pressing legal issues are to blame. In the interest of good form, we’ve compiled a list of retailers that currently have this elusive smartphone in stock. In fact, two of the retailers

LG could gearing up to release a new “superphone” that will do battle with the latest Android-powered handsets from Samsung and HTC. The device is called the LG Eclipse, and it was first revealed earlier this month with a leaked image of its rear casing. Today the device has popped up again, this time with

Best Buy recently promised customers that orders for the EVO 4G LTE will ship by May 23rd, but that’s no longer the case. Best Buy has updated its website to reflect that the phone is “coming soon.” Phandroid said Best Buy is already emailing customers who pre-ordered the phone alerting each one of the delay, but it

You can be sure that the Apple camp in Cupertino has ideas and plans sketched out for future devices years before they ever make it to market. In fact, Steve Jobs, the company’s co-founder and former CEO, worked closely on the redesign for the next-generation, 4-inch iPhone before he passed away last October. According to

Samsung and HTC are reportedly responsible for 86% of Android sales in the United Kingdom according to a new report from Kantar Worldpanel. That’s not a surprising fact, especially considering that both manufacturers typically pump out phones as fast as they can make them. I’m only slightly kidding, the two phone makers also make several

The story of the delayed EVO 4G LTE appears to be penning another chapter. We’ve already received word that retailers are doing a bit of damage control to try and smooth things over with customers that have pre-ordered Sprint’s delayed flagship. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a solid release date. However, the folks from AndroidCentral

Consumers aren’t the only ones fed up with Apple’s patent shenanigans. Just days after the ITC imposed an import ban on the One X and EVO 4G LTE, the U.S. District Court of Delaware on Thursday ordered the Cupertino company and HTC to meet face-to-face on August 28 to work out its legal differences. If

The EVO 4G in 2010 was a big deal for Sprint. Not only was it the first U.S. phone to offer WiMAX, but the device was also fast, beautiful and stood out as probably the best (at the time) Android smartphone on the market. But Sprint began to lose its way, resulting in a lull of

The import block on the HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE currently being upheld by U.S. Customs may not last for much longer. According to sources who spoke with The Verge, the two devices both “use a customized version of Android that removes the offending ‘data tapping’ feature.” Further adding weight to this claim
