I'm on currently on vacation so this happened at a rather inopportune time for me, but basically, I rebooted the phone to improve its radio reception as my cruise was sailing into a port with some wireless. I'm running the 7-20 IRC test (latest) version of CM10.1, and have been running it (and...

Hey guys, I hate being so dependent here, but this stuff has always been complicated for me. So I finally got around to biting the bullet and Lazy Panda'd on my stock build Evo -- I used the Ubuntu process and aside from the phone not restarting properly, everything went pretty smoothly...

So on my Evo 3D and OG Evo, I used to be able to be on a Youtube video or in Google Maps on my PC, hit my "chrome to phone" icon on my Chrome browser, and then it would send the link to the phone and automatically be intercepted by the Youtube native app or Maps native app on my Android phone...

I thought it might be useful to compile a list of common applications that are properly developed consistent with the ICS design guidelines (i.e., deprecating the use of the hardware menu button). Because HTC has opted to have hardware buttons, they have a software menu button (the three dots...

Though it's not the LTEvo, I think it's safe to assume we can pretty much expect the same internal layout as the One X. A new teardown for those that like that kind of thing: HTC One X gets teardown, battery unsurprisingly dominates -- Engadget

Protip for the others out there: For any app I install that requires updates (instant message, social media, etc.), I make sure it is asking for the C2DM (Android Cloud to Device Messaging) permissions, because then the app is implementing Google's low power push API. It generally works...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've hung out in these here parts, and normally I'd just keep my phone the way it is, but I've read that the most recent update patches a Wifi exploit vulnerability so I figured it's about time I rolled up my sleeves to get my phone updated. So, in the past...

I'm not sure what the "Failed - Go have some Lemonade" part refers to, but my device says I have S-OFF (in particular "shooter xc ship s-off rl") Figuring that was the most important part, I tried flashed Team Win Recovery, which appears to have worked. However, upon a reboot, the phone hangs...

I thought it would be useful to start a list of incompatible apps so that we can drive developers to better support our device. One particular source of incompatibility is the the new fantastic qHD (560x960) screen is great on the Evo 3D, but it's a non-standard Android 2.3 resolution. For...

I think for those of us concerned with reports on the radio quality of the Evo 3D, we should attempt to verify this objectively. I'm running dozens of speed tests on my Evo 4G, on 3G and 4G, at my office and at home, and logging the data in preparation for an objective radio comparison with the...

Ever since I got the Evo, I've been using Dolphin Browser HD -- the combination of tabbed browsing and great features make it an overall improvement over the HTC/Eclair browser. Now that people are switching up to 2.2, are people switching back to stock for the much acclaimed speed...

I feel like I'm dying waiting for my Evo to charge up connected to my laptop's USB port (yeah I know, paltry .5 A current, sigh). It then occurred to me that there were some articles about the iPad not being able to properly charge on some USB ports because of the high current necessary to...

For all of us using SenseUI, hitting the home screen button will bring us... home, for lack of a better word. However, recently, hitting the home screen button brings up a dialog asking whether I want to use SenseUI or the stock Android launcher. I'm aware this normally happens if you go into...

Since there has been a bunch of conflicting and negative reports on the HTC Evo's HDMI output, I figured I'd shoot a video so you all can see my pretty favorable experiences with the Evo's HDMI out. The YouTube video here is itself shot at 720p so make sure you enable that when viewing, so you...

I was wondering about this earlier in the weekend because I know the Nexus One features a broadcom communications chipset that features 802.11n support. Searching did not turn up any specifications on the Evo with regard to its wireless package though... until today. iFixit just released its...
