When it rains Jelly Beans, it pours Jelly Beans. Samsung's Galaxy S III on Verizon will be seeing its update arrive tomorrow, but for HTC fans who have been using the EVO 4G LTE on Sprint, their own Jelly Bean update has already become available. EVO 4G LTE system software 3.15.651.16 delivers Android 4.1.1, outfitted with the latest Sense 4+ UI enhancements. Even though the update is currently accessible for EVO 4G LTE owners, for the moment you'll have to pull this one down yourself, which is just as simple as checking for updates through your phone's settings menu. In case you forget ...

HTC's EVO 4G LTE, Sprint's answer to the HTC One-series devices on other carriers, has been dealing with a few annoying bugs since its release. Just yesterday, we caught wind of a note from Google, specifically in regards to the E4L's unexpected incompatibility with Google Wallet, mentioning that a new firmware would be arriving for the handset within the month, finally addressing the issue. We were all ready to be sitting around the last week in July wondering if the update would make it out in time, but instead have found a happy surprise waiting for us today, upon news that EVO 4G LTE's ...

1.8GHz is still a frequency unfortunately many computer users dream about but it is now achievable on the dual-core processor powering the AT&T HTC One X (and Rogers) as well as the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE. Of course, before everything, we need to insert the word of warning here that extreme hacking can cause hardware damage and stress components, but you all know that! The new Kernel module allows overclocking the MSM8960 Qualcomm Krait SoC beyond 1.8GHz in applications like SetCPU so you need to be cautious. It only works on the AT&T and Rogers HTC One X (or the One XL) as well as ...

I've turned an HTC One X into one of my two daily drivers for the last two or three weeks. Not that I didn't enjoy the company of my old Galaxy Nexus, but I'm on the list of people that really do enjoy HTC Sense. I know it's either a love-or-hate relationship for many of you, but Sense is the best of many worlds for me. It has all the social integration I love about Windows Phone 7, all the polish that attracts me about iOS, and it’s running on the fluidity and openness that I've come to enjoy about Android. Sadly, the year is 2012. For many of you that are using Windows Phone devices or ...

Earlier this week, a leak outed what appeared to be a new white version of HTC's EVO 4G LTE on Sprint, showing the phone's presence in an internal inventory control system. At the time, we had to guess what the phone would look like, doing a quick recoloring on the existing black EVO 4G LTE. While Sprint has yet to officially announce the pending arrival of this new white version, it looks like the carrier may have just accidentally released the first image of the handset, as spotted in a new promotional banner. Sprint invites users to check out a new EVO 4G LTE or Epic 4G Touch, saving ...

When Sprint announced that it would be getting the HTC EVO 4G LTE, one of the many features it promoted for the handset was its NFC support and compatibility with Google Wallet. Despite those claims, new owners of the phone have apparently been running into nothing but problems with trying to get the service to work. Just what's going on here? Initially, Google Wallet on the EVO 4G LTE would return error messages regarding prepaid cards when attempting to use the app, but enterprising owners quickly realized that by doing a bit of build.prop sleight-of-hand, they could trick the app into ...

After getting news of HTC Android shipments being held-up in customs on their into the US, we heard from the manufacturer that progress had been made towards resolving the situation, and sure enough, eventually saw the EVO 4G LTE start making it into the hands of customers. Today, HTC is announcing a full resolution of these import issues. Last week, HTC released a statement reading, "some of our products have passed the review and have been delivered to our telecoms operators' clients in the US". As a result, we could see that the tide was turning in HTC's favor, but it wasn't clear at ...

After a brief hold-up in US Customs, the HTC EVO 4G LTE has finally started shipping out to customers, and some are already reporting their new smartphones arriving. As they start to put these handsets through their paces, it's become clear that even without LTE service up-and-running, the EVO 4G LTE is support simultaneous connections to Sprint's CDMA voice and EV-DO data services. Simultaneous voice and data on CDMA networks has been talked about for years, but it's been slow to see implementation. That's not helped any by the very low-key way that Sprint's apparently been deploying new ...

Ever since some HTC phones got caught-up in US Customs last week, plenty of anxious users have been wondering when the EVO 4G LTE on Sprint might finally arrive. Best Buy reached out to customers who had pre-ordered the handset with word that the phone might end up shipping on May 23, but the retailer later had to send out corrections, explaining that it still didn't have any idea just when the Android handset could continue with its launch. Most recently, we heard from HTC itself that progress had been made towards resolving the Customs hold-ups, and some phones had passed-through and ...

The HTC EVO 4G LTE should have been on shelves today, May 18, but thanks to an ITC ruling banning imports of HTC devices as of April 19 there are some delays thanks to U.S. Customs who are taking their job (and the ruling) seriously (as one would expect). There was a ray of light however which might have gotten your hopes up yesterday: Best Buy sent out a letter letting people know that the HTC EVO 4G LTE should be available as of May 23. Today Best Buy is taking your hopes and scatters them away. According to a new letter being sent out, the previous one contained incorrect information ...

The HTC One X for AT&T and the upcoming HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint -- which should hit the shelves this Friday, May 18 -- appear to be delayed by U.S. Customs, according to an official statement released by the Taiwanese manufacturer. The reason behind the delay, according to the wording, is "standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order". "The US availability of the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order. We believe we are in compliance with ...

HTC's EVO 4G LTE for Sprint is shaping up to be one of the highlights of the manufacturer's latest series of Android handsets. The carrier confirmed earlier this week that the smartphone will make its retail debut next Friday, on May 18. Sprint's got pre-sales of the EVO 4G going for $200 on-contract, but if you've put off placing your order, there's now an even better deal available, with Amazon pre-orders costing $50 less. Amazon Wireless has the EVO 4G LTE on two-year contract for a hair under $150. Right now the site is showing the phone as backordered in addition to being up for ...

If you've been following the news surrounding the new HTC One series, you already know that Sprint has opened pre-orders for its version of the One XL, the Evo 4G LTE. It's a solidly-specced device with a popular brand name that promises to sell well. If you've been following the news very closely, however, you also know that it packs a disadvantage cleverly disguised as a feature: an embedded SIM. Which makes about as much sense as a cast-iron laptop: they both offer the same degree of convenience and portability. Pictured: lame sauce masquerading as hotness. For the uninitiated: SIM ...
