Yesterday, we
told you that HTC’s Mo Versi confirmed on Twitter that the One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop
update is ready to roll out for the Canadian owners of the device. Now we have
the official confirmation from HTC Canada that the HTC
One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is being pushed to the Rogers and Telus
users.
Since
Lollipop is the most major update Google’s mobile operating system has received
to date, I am sure that all One M8 owners were eagerly anticipating its roll
out. Besides the Android 5.0-specific goodies such as lock screen
notifications, better battery statistics, multi-user support for phones,
revamped notifications bar and quick settings, card-based recent
menu, Smart Lock, Screen Pinning, or dynamic status bar, the new firmware
also arrives with Sense interface tweaks. HTC’s custom skin was redesigned to
match the Material Design guidelines.
The HTC One
M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is being pushed to users over-the-air. As usual,
we are dealing with a staged roll out, which means that some users will have to
wait longer than others before being able to download and install the update.
When the Android 5.0 Lollipop will become available for your One M8 terminal
you should receive a system update notification. Tap on it, choose ‘Download
now’, wait until the download is completed, then choose ‘Install now’. Your
smartphone should reboot and flash the new firmware. You can also check for the
update manually under Settings > About phone > Software updates >
Check now.
Since we are
dealing with a major software update, expect the update file to have a size of
over 600 MB. We are recommending you to download it using a Wi-Fi network in
order to avoid unwanted data charges.
