HTC One M8
Android 4.4.3 OTA Update Now Being Pushed to AT8T Users
The international HTC One M8 received the Android
4.4.3 OTA update about a month ago, while the T-Mobile variant got it last
week. Now we hear that the HTC One M8 Android 4.4.3 update is being rolled out
for the AT&T users, therefore you should keep your eye on the notifications
bar. For what it’s worth, the Verizon model is expected to get the new firmware
sometime mid-September.
Because the HTC One M8 runs Android 4.4 out of
the box, the usual KitKat stuff such as transparent status and nav bars,
white status bar icons, immersive mode, new Location menu, cloud printing,
or full screen album and movie art in the lock screen came pre-loaded. The
AT&T HTC One M8 Android 4.4.3 update doesn’t introduce any visual
improvements, but it arrives with numerous optimizations, bug fixes, and
security improvements, so you would definitely want to install it on your
device.
As usual, AT&T will be rolling out the new
update in stages, which means that some of you might not be able to download
and install it right away. As you may know, once your HTC One M8 becomes
eligible to receive the new firmware, you should be able to see a
system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on it, then
choose “Download now.” After the files are downloaded, choose “Install now.”
After the installation process is complete the Smartphone will reboot. In
case the system update notification failed to appear, you would also want to
perform a manual check under Settings > About phone > Software
updates > Check now.
It’s also worth noting that the new Android 4.4.3
update for AT&T HTC One M8 has firmware number 2.23.502.3. Since it
has a size of around 660 MB it’s recommended to download it using a stable Wi-Fi
network in order to avoid unwanted data charges.
I remind you that HTC was one of the first companies
to announce they will be bring Android L to their flagship devices. According
to them, both One M7 and One M8 will receive the new software update within 90
days after Google releases the final code.
