Is there a
T-Mobile HTC One M8 somewhere around you? If the answer is yes, then you should
keep an eye on the notifications bar. Well, not right away, but as
of Monday when the HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop update will start
rolling out.
The
announcement was made on Twitter by HTC’s VP of Product Management
Mo Versi. On Friday, he tweeted that they have received the Lollipop OS
Technical Approval for T-Mobile One M8 and that the OTA should start rolling
out on Monday.
I remind you
that Lollipop is the most major update Android has received so far. It’s even
bigger than the jump from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich. Android 5.0
arrives with a new interface called Material Design, multi-user support for
phones, lock screen notifications, performance boosts, improved security,
Android Runtime (ART), better battery statistics, redesigned notifications bar
and quick settings, dynamic status bar, revamped recent menu, Screen Pinning,
Smart Lock, and more. The Sense 6.0 UI in the One M8 Lollipop update was
tweaked to follow the Material Design guidelines.
As any
software update, the HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be pushed to
users in waves, meaning that some customers will have to wait longer than
others. As soon as your smartphone becomes eligible to receive the new
firmware, you should be able to notice a system update message in the
notifications bar. Tap on it and follow the on-screen instructions. In case the
system update notification failed to appear you should also check for Lollipop
manually under Settings > About phone > Software update > Check now.
