Galaxy S3 gets Bluetooth certified some more, all but confirmed for all major US carriers
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 23, 2012 3 Comments">3
Less than 24 hours after seeing Verizon’s Galaxy S3, codenamed SCH-I535, getting Bluetooth SIG’s approval, we now have the best of news for fans of the other three major US carriers. The Galaxy S3 has gotten certified in three more versions and will most definitely hit Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile in addition to Big Red. The news is very refreshing – we are now almost sure that the Galaxy S3 will come to all of the major networks in America, at about the same time. That’s a huge step forward for Samsung, who enraged many tech enthusiasts last year, with the …

by Carl Parker on May 23, 2012 5 Comments">5
Some Android users just can’t wait for official updates to roll out to their phones. The temptation of getting the newest updates before everyone else, even through unofficial means, can drive users to comb forums in search of any leaks. Thanks to the people from BriefMobile and XDA Developers member kennethpenn, firmware build UCLE2 of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the AT&T Galaxy S2 Skyrocket is now available. With a build date of May 8, this leak is based on the Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Flashers beware–the UCLE2 firmware update appears to have a bootloader update. If you’re …

by Ken East on May 21, 2012 0 Comments">0
If you’ve been itching to root your AT&T One X, you might have been discouraged by the bootloader the Android community deemed unlockable. We’ve got good news for you, then. While the bootloader problem still hasn’t been solved, developers have worked out a way to gain complete root access on the phone, allowing custom kernel and ROM installation. Read on for the step by step guide on rooting the AT&T One X. The HTC One X is the international variant of the AT&T One X and unlike the latter, it has a powerful quad-core Tegra 3 processor. Another thing that …
The HTC One X debacle: winners and losers
by Bogdan Petrovan on May 19, 2012 11 Comments">11
On Tuesday, news broke that US Customs had blocked imports of the HTC One X and the HTC EVO 4G LTE, effectively preventing HTC’s flagships from reaching American customers. The embargo was enforced due to an exclusion order by the International Trade Commission (ITC). The ITC ruled back in December that HTC’s Android devices infringe on two of Apple’s patents, but gave the Taiwanese a respite until April 19 to remove the infringing features. Although HTC claims that both the HTC One X and the EVO 4G LTE are now free of the infringing feature, it seems that the US …
Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717 (AT&T): How to upgrade to Android 4.0.3 ICS firmware build UCLD3
by Paul Nuñal on May 19, 2012 10 Comments">10
With reports of the official Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) update rolling out for the Galaxy Note in Germany, it seems that even the AT&T Galaxy Note is starting to get its own leaks. Thanks to XDA Developers member Korey_Nicholson and Brief Mobile, users of the AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-I717 can enjoy Android 4.0.3 ICS firmware build UCLD3. The last leaked firmware for the AT&T Galaxy Note, known as UCLC5, was riddled with performance bugs and other non-functional features. But, luckily for Galaxy Note owners, Samsung was keen enough to fix those pesky little bugs, mostly eliminating them in the new …
Amazon sells AT&T’s HTC One X for $129.99, get it while you can
by Bams Sadewo on May 18, 2012 4 Comments">4
With Sprint’s HTC EVO 4G LTE still stuck in a legal limbo, we wouldn’t blame impatient customers for glancing in AT&T’s direction, at the delectable HTC One X. Of course, the import banned affected HTC’s version of the One X too, but it seems that at least some units made it into the country before the ban was enforced. The One X is out of stock on AT&T’s site, but you can still get it from other retailers, and at a great price too. We are talking about Amazon, the online retail giant that has long been the savior of …
HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE delayed, shipments still waiting US Customs review
by Mike Andrici on May 16, 2012 33 Comments">33
Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC is and has been the only real competitor to Apple and Samsung for the past few years, both when it comes to financial numbers and in terms of overall product quality. Although HTC’s previous financial year was kind of sluggish in the US –a market that is expected to account for as much as 20 percent of HTC’s income for the current year — the Taiwanese manufacturer has high hopes for 2012, a lot of them having to do with the commercial success expected from the HTC One X on AT&T and the HTC EVO 4G …
AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket HD officially canceled. Does anyone care?
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 10, 2012 8 Comments">8
The Samsung Galaxy S2 was and still is a spectacular phone. However, even though it’s still extremely popular and is making Sammy a boatload of money, it hasn’t managed to fully satisfy consumers in North America, at least from one point of view. Samsung and the US carriers have used a confusing and quite erratic marketing strategy for the S2, and managed to confuse customers with a branding that didn’t seem to make much sense. We’ve had five or six different Galaxy S2 versions in the U.S. and at least four in Canada, although the “different” phones had little tweaks …

Therefore, you …
T-Mobile’s latest ad mocks speed of AT&T’s iPhone 4S as slow
by Bams Sadewo on May 09, 2012 5 Comments">5
It looks like T-Mobile has decided to take a swipe at AT&T and the iPhone 4S in their latest ad campaign, which isn’t really an original concept. The ad begins with a fairly dim witted looking guy cruising slowly on a motorbike, meant to represent the iPhone on AT&T’s network. Along comes a motorbike at breakneck speed (yes, that’s the 4G one), with a hot lady at the helm, and she rips by in the blink of an eye. All the while, T-Mobile asks the viewer to contemplate the answer to the question: “If this is the speed of the …
AT&T to offer shared data plan in the coming months
by Bams Sadewo on May 09, 2012 3 Comments">3
After hearing about arch-rival Verizon’s plans to come up with a new data plan, AT&T is planning to release its own take of a family data plan for people who want to share their data connection across multiple devices. The move was confirmed by AT&T mobile business CEO, Ralph de La Vega, during an interview with CNET. De la Vega said that the company is very comfortable with the plan that they will be offering soon to customers and are confident about how the family data plan would be structured. Though details about the type of plan, pricing and availability …
Sony Xperia Ion spotted in Google ad, might come to AT&T in June
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 09, 2012 1 Comments">1
Unveiled way back in January at CES, the Sony Xperia Ion caught our attention with its stylish design and (supposedly) capable camera from the get-go. However, months passed since we’ve last heard about AT&T’s future exclusive phone, so we kind of started to forget about it. A recent rumor ignited by a trivial Google ad points towards a June launch for the Xperia Ion. That would be the kind of good news we were waiting to hear for a while, but then again, this is just a rumor, so you shouldn’t be very surprised if it proves inaccurate. That being …
AT&T’s HTC One X now available for $199.99, phone’s source code released
by Bams Sadewo on May 07, 2012 1 Comments">1
If you’ve been counting the long long days to the debut of AT&T’s HTC One X, the torment is now over. The phone, which was unveiled in February at MWC, is finally available for purchase in AT&T stores across the country. Slightly different from the international version, the AT&T variant of the HTC One X, often dubbed the HTC One XL, sports a 1.4GHz Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor, instead of the quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 found on its cosmopolitan cousin. The HTC One X is offered for $199.99 with a two-year voice and data plan, while the non-contract offer goes for a …
No official bootloader unlocking for AT&T’s HTC One X
by Bams Sadewo on May 06, 2012 6 Comments">6
Just when we thought manufacturers have made peace with devs and others who want to have the freedom to create their own smartphone experience with the Android OS on their phones, it is sadly appearing that HTC’s One X on AT&T is exempted from it, as the bootloader of the phone is locked and HTC’s official unlocking tool reportedly not working. The Verge got in touch with a representative of the company, and here’s what HTC has to say on the matter: “HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction. Since announcing our commitment to unlockable bootloaders, …
How carriers make most of their profit these days and why mobile data is so lucrative for Verizon and AT&T
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 30, 2012 9 Comments">9
Verizon and AT&T, the nation’s biggest mobile carriers, just reported their most recent quarterly earnings and, as expected, represented periods of financial growth for the giants. It is a known fact that a large part of the revenue that Big Red and AT&T are making these days come from mobile data plans, but what’s interesting is that, in the wide majority of cases, people pay for data they aren’t actually using. According to a very insightful study conducted by Cisco, the average amount of data used per US smartphone in 2011 was 150MB per month. This year, it is predicted …
