The HTC One M7 device
on Sprint has received earlier today a brand new Android 4.4.2 KitKat update
with firmware version set at 5.05.651.2. Check your device’s notification
panel starting today and see if there are any new files available for download
and installation.
Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware version 5.05.651.2 adds a Google Security tweaks, fixes
bugs and improves the overall performance of your device. The download size of
this new update build is 325.18 MB, so you should be able to complete the
installation even with your device’s mobile data connection.
These
security changes added by the new update should’ve been released with Android
4.4.4 KitKat, but it seems like HTC and Sprint have decided to skip it and
instead implement all tweaks in an Android 4.4.2 update. In case the new update
notification doesn’t show up in the Notifications panel, then you can go to All
Apps > Settings> System Updates> HTC Software Update and hit the
‘Check Now’ button. If there is any new file available for download, then you
should confirm the process and your device will automatically complete
installation.
Make
sure that your Sprint HTC One M7 device has at least 40% power left in it
before you start the update process. If the new update doesn’t show up in the
Notifications panel, then you can always choose to install the new Android
4.4.2 5.05.651.2 KitKat firmware manually by following the instructions
listed at HTC support web page here.
This 5.05.651.2
firmware of Android 4.4.2 will probably be the final KitKat release that we
will see for the One M7 Sprint device, as Google has launched the official
Android 5.0 Lollipop and HTC will begin to work on implementing the new OS
version for all their smartphones.
