The Android
5.0 Lollipop update for Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 is already out
in the wild, and, as usual, the Google Play Edition devices are coming up
next. The HTC One M7 Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Google Play Edition was
supposed to roll out early this week, but it got delayed. According to @moversi the new
firmware will hit the first devices by the end of the week.
Mo Versi
announced on Twitter, in a response to a follower, that the HTC One M7 GPE
Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be out this Friday. The
release has been delayed over unknown reasons, but HTC’s VP of Product
Management said that they are “working aggressively to get it out as soon as
possible.”
There’s no
doubt that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for HTC One M7 GPE will be rolled
out in phases, meaning that some of you might have to wait longer than others.
You probably know already that once your device becomes eligible to receive the
new firmware update you should be able to notice a system update message
in the notifications bar. Tap on it, choose ‘Download now’, wait until the
download is completed, then select ‘Install now’. Your smartphone should reboot
and install the new software. In case the system update notification failed to
appear, you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings
> About phone > System updates > Check now.
Since the One
M7 GPE is running an unaltered version of Android, you should expect the 5.0
update to bring all the Lollipop specific goodies such as multi-user support,
smart lock, revamped navigation bar and quick settings, Material Design,
lockscreen notifications, battery saver, or better battery statistics. The new
update also arrives with Android Runtime (ART) instead of Dalvik and support
for 64-bit processors, OpenGL 3.0, and USB Audio.
The HTC One
M7 GPE Android 5.0 Lollipop update might have a size of over 600 MB; therefore
we are recommending you to use a Wi-Fi network to download the update
file. You know, just to avoid unwanted data charges.
