HTC Wildfire S gets Android 2.3.5 update along with Sense 2.1
Well what do you know – HTC released the Android 2.3.5 update for its low-end Wildfire S smartphone. Along with the latest version of Gingerbread, there’s also the new Sense software (version 2.1), which mimics some of the aspects of the Sense UI on the HTC Sensation. However, you shouldn’t expect all of the features since there’s not enough horse power under the Wildfire S’ hood. There is the new interactive lock screen as well as few other graphic changes and that’s about it. The update is said to be … Read more

2011 in Review: Android
It’s been a big year for the Android operating system and it has grown in many ways. We’ve seen two new versions of the OS, insane growth across the board, and no signs of slowing down. Here are a few highlights of Android this year. Activations/Marketshare Comscore’s latest numbers for Android in the US pegged the OS with a 44.8% total marketshare for the month of September and we can only imagine that phones like the Galaxy Nexus, Droid RAZR, and HTC Rezound will only strengthen these numbers going forward. … Read more

T-Mobile’s HTC Sensation 4G getting bug fixing firmware update as we speak
T-Mobile USA and HTC have started rolling out a new software update for the Sensation 4G. Don’t expect Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich — rather this is a Gingerbread-based bug-fixing update that will fix a bunch of issues and (most notably) improve battery life. In addition, firmware version 1.50.531.1 also improves the Trace dictionary, screen (un)responsiveness, icon pixelation, camera app, lock screen and Wi-Fi connectivity. Overall, once applied, your HTC Sensation 4G should be more stable than before. Still don’t see it? T-Mobile said this is a staged rollout, promising … Read more

HTC’s November sales decline 30 percent
HTC just reported a pretty lackluster quarter. The company’s sales declined 30 percent in November alone. The Taiwanese company is in a serious battle against Apple and Samsung to claim the world’s top smartphone brand. Now without getting to far into the financials, HTC’s consolidated sales for November fell to T$30.94 billion ($US 1.03 billion) from T$38.48 billion a year ago and T$44.11 billion in October 2011. Explaining the potential reason behind this decline, John Strand, founder of Danish mobile industry consultancy Strand Consult said: “Apple fans want the new iPhone model. HTC … Read more

Judge could place ban on HTC phones in the U.S. starting next week
After extensive coverage of Samsung‘s war with Apple overseas, there’s a bit of a twist today: the legal battles don’t always involve Samsung and they aren’t taking place overseas. Welcome back to the legal battles between HTC and Apple. On December 14th, the smartphone manufacturer may face a giant ban against U.S. imports. If so, it would be a devastating blow to the company. The patents currently being argued over mostly relate to software. The first is for a “system and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated … Read more

HTC Amaze, BlackBerry Bold 9900, Samsung Galaxy S II and other T-Mobile phones use Carrier IQ
It looks like Sprint and AT&T aren’t the only ones in the U.S. using the now-infamous Carrier IQ debugging tool.

HTC Amaze lands on WIND Mobile and Mobilicity
After enjoying a lengthy stay on TELUS, the HTC Amaze has found its way to Canada’s two underdog carriers, WIND Mobile and Mobilicity. Both are slapping the “4G” title next to the device, but hey, what doesn’t count as 4G these days? The HTC Amaze received top marks in our review, particularly for its sturdy, stylish construction. The Android 2.3 smartphone sports a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera with LED flash (plus 2 megapixel shooter on the front for video calling), and a sharp 4.3-inch 960 … Read more
