HTC EVO 3D stops bullet, saves man's life in attempted robbery

Alex Dobie 6 years ago 99

A gas station clerk from Orange County, Fla. has survived an attempted robbery after his HTC EVO 3D stopped an assailant's bullet. CNN reports that after being unable to access the store's safe, the suspect fired a single shot as he was leaving the scene. It was only after emergency services arrived that the victim's lucky escape became apparent — the bullet had hit the man in the chest...

Non-Sprint HTC EVO 3Ds getting their Ice Cream Sandwich update

Phil Nickinson 8 years ago 18

If you're rocking an EVO 3D outside the United States, know this: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is heading your way right ... about ... now! But what about Sprint? While the phones are mostly the same on the outside, you have to remember that the internals are different -- and the EVO 3D in the United States is controlled by Sprint, and not the magical GSM fairies from abroad. And that...

HTC reminds us what's getting Ice Cream Sandwich and when they might get it

Phil Nickinson 8 years ago 35

HTC on its blog has reiterated which current phones are slated for an update to Android 4.0. It's not a new list -- we've seen all of these phones announced previously (here, here, here and here) -- but it's good to see it all in one place. In alphabetical order, they are: DROID Incredible 2 by HTC HTC Amaze 4G HTC Desire S HTC Desire HD HTC EVO 3D HTC EVO...

UK retailers slash HTC EVO 3D prices

Alex Dobie 8 years ago 5

When we reviewed the GSM version of HTC's EVO 3D back in August, our main complaint was the exorbitant price of the phone. On-contract deals were nowhere to be found, and at the time of review SIM-free prices came in at over £500 (~$830), considerably more than the similarly-specced HTC Sensation. Now, at least two British retailers have decided to significantly cut their asking prices...

HTC confirms it's pulling Carrier IQ from Sprint ROMs in future updates

Phil Nickinson 8 years ago 16

When Sprint first told Android Central that it has ceased using the Carrier IQ analytics software on its Android smartphones, throwing a switch on the server side while leaving the app itself dormant, we kind of figured that would be that. Sure, future smartphones likely wouldn't have the maligned software embedded, but current phones would remain as-is. But it looks like stripping...

Recent HTC EVO 3D 'security update' removes Carrier IQ

Jared DiPane 8 years ago 20

Just a few days ago we caught word of an update that was rolling out to the HTC EVO 3D and reports are that it also removed Carrier IQ from the device. Folks who have checked around in the manage applications tab have noticed that "HTC IQAgent" and "IQRD," both of which were Carrier IQ, are no longer present on the device after the update. That's in line with the leaked version of the...

HTC: 6.3 million devices with Carrier IQ -- including some that shouldn't have it

Phil Nickinson 8 years ago 12

Now here's where it gets interesting. In HTC's response to questioning from U.S. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., it listed some 6.3 million "active devices" that have Carrier IQ installed. They include: Sprint: Snap (Windows Mobile), Touch Pro 2 (Windows Mobile), Hero, EVO 4G, EVO Shift 4G, EVO 3D, EVO Design 4G AT&T: Vivid T-Mobile: Amaze 4G However, HTC also disclosed that...

ROM review: CyanogenMod 7 (VALPHA 2) for EVO 3D

Joshua Munoz 8 years ago 12

I'm an AOSP man. Sense has gotten good, but I just can't seem to tear myself away from vanilla Android, and more specifically, CyanogenMod. The speed, the themes, and the customization are just a few of the reasons I'm always drawn back into Steve Kondik's world, so the night the EVO 3D alpha went live, I flashed it. If you're curious about the goods, follow me after the break. For...

HTC EVO 3D review (European version)

Alex Dobie 8 years ago 4

HTC isn’t always first to market with new smartphone technologies, but we’ve found that its products are usually worth the wait. The Sensation, for example, wasn’t the first dual-core smartphone on the block when it launched back in May, but when it arrived it proved itself to be a speedy and stylish device with some of the best software we’ve seen on any Android phone. Now, without...
