After yesterday’s announcement that HTC and Sprint are pushing out Lollipop to the One (M7) today, HTC is back again with an announcement for One (M7) Developer Edition and Unlocked owners. For you guys and gals, Lollipop is on its way, available for download right now.
While One (M7) owners are seeing their HTC Advantage hard at work, One (M8) owners are still waiting, not knowing exactly when their devices will receive the update. We are sure that it will come in time, but when you are promised a 90-day update window, this must sting a little.
One (M7) Developer Edition and Unlocked owners, go grab your update.
I still not get any notification from HTC in
order to update the latest version of Android. Once I received it, I will definitely
update my M7 after it gets fully charged on Multi USB Charger.
Convert to GPE, problem solved! I’m running DigitalHigh’s GPE rom that still has the HTC camera, gallery and blink feed but everything else is vanilla. Perfect mix IMO.
For those with an HTC phone that are curious, it looks like HTC is still maintaining their software updates tracking page: http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/#device-content
This must be the first 2013-year flagship phone that gets the update right? Kudos!
Now when 5.1 is dropping soon will they have a 90 day window again?
“One (M8) owners are still waiting, not knowing exactly when their devices will receive the update.”
Eh? They got Lollipop weeks ago? (the developer and unlocked editions, which is what the post is talking about)
somewhere around valentines.
Also M7 regular version on Sprint got it(today)
and LG G3 on Feb 16 [ Sprint]
Hope they’ll be able to finish all the update by February. /wcurt from http://www.phonestop7.tk/
M8 should have had priority.
True. Something is better than nothing though.
M7 got it because the phone came out first
But shouldn’t the most recent flagship released have priority?
It did. M8 Developer Edition and US Unlocked models got Lollipop several weeks ago.
I meant carrier verisons of M8 should have had first slot over M7. Not everyone owns a developer/unlocked edition.
Blame the carriers on that one.
No, blame the customer. You want updates? Buy unlocked, non-carrier versions. With Nexus, HTC, and Moto it’s easy as you can buy direct from the manufacturer, with financing even. With Samsung and LG it’s a bit harder because you might have to use an international importer like expansys, but it’s still doable at good prices.
All european versions have got the update for the m8.. so you should probably see it pretty soon
Has Moto been displaced as the reigning king of quick updates? HTC and Samsung say they have.
Feels that way to me. Still waiting for my Droid Maxx to get some Lollipop love.
