Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA Released for HTC One M8 Verizon Wireless Variant



If you own the Verizon Wireless version of the HTC One M8, you should expect to see a notification about the Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA soon as the carrier has now started seeding the Lollipop update to its customers. Verizon Wireless is the third US carrier to have rolled out the OTA update after Sprint and T-Mobile. The only major US carrier variant of the One M8 still stuck on Android 4.4.4 KitKat now is the AT&T version.
The update is now available via the OTA route, so you will be able to download and install the update on your HTC One M8 without having to connect it to your computer. Before you check for the OTA update, we suggest you connect your One M8 to a Wi-Fi network as you will not be allowed to download the update over cellular network as it is a major update. If an update notification hasn’t show up yet, you can also check for the update manually by going to Settings – About Phone – System Updates – Check for Updates. The full change-log of this new update can be found here.
The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the HTC One M8 includes a number of changes like a new material design user-interface, 64-bit ABI support, ART runtime for improved performance, new notification panel with quick settings, updated lock screen, redesigned recent apps overview with card and grid view options, Band 4 roaming enabled, enhanced 3-way calling feature, a few other improvements and bug fixes. The most significant improvements included with the Lollipop update have to do with device performance and responsiveness, battery life, and of course the new updated Sense 6.0 UI. The newer Sense 7.0 UI that debuted with the One M9 will only be arriving to One M8 users later this year as part of another Lollipop update, possibly based on Android 5.1 or Android 5.2.
HTC had earlier promised to release the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the One M7 and One M8 flagship smartphones within 90 days of its release from Google. Unfortunately, the company couldn’t keep up its promise as only select HTC One M8 models could be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop within the promised 90-day timeframe. For the Verizon One M8, the update has arrived well beyond 100 days after Android 5.0’s initial release last year.

Sprint HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA Update Rolling Out



The Sprint variant of the HTC One M8 smartphone was expected to receive Android 5.0 OTA Update last week, but Sprint has delayed the launch for today. Multiple users are reporting via Twitter that they’ve received new OTA Lollipop Update notifications early morning. The update for Sprint One M8 comes only a few hours after the first One M8 T-Mobile owners have started to report it.
The Android 5.0 Lollipop comes with a huge number of changes such as the brand new Material Design UI, Smart Lock, Intelligent Notifications ranking, Device Sharing functions, new Recent multitasking, Android ART Runtime, new search feature for the Settings menu, lock screen notifications controls, security improvements and multiple other great functions. Check the Android 5.0 Lollipop web page here in order to learn more about this release.
The Lollipop 5.0 OS is the biggest update that the Sprint HTC One M8 smartphone has seen and it is highly recommended for you to upgrade it, as you will get a much more stable environment with enhanced security tweaks. Note that this update is being released in phases which mean that not all devices will be updated at the same time. Before the end of this month your Sprint One M8 phone should get the brand new firmware files, so you shouldn’t panic until that happens.
In case the new Android 5.0 Lollipop update notification isn’t shown by your One M8 phone in the next few days, then you can choose to verify manually for it: go to Settings> System Updates > HTC Software Update and then tap once on the ‘Check Now’ button. If there are any files available for download you should make sure to use a Wi-Fi connection in order to complete the installation process.
Note that this update will set the 4.20.651.10 Android 5.0 version number and it will most probably be the first Lollipop build from many others that are going to be released by Sprint and HTC in the future. Keep in mind that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update is pushed only for HTC One M8 smartphones that are running 100% stock Android 4.4 ROMs; you won’t be getting any new official Lollipop files in case your device is sporting a custom ROM.


HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Available now for T-Mobile Users



The HTC One M8 on T-Mobile is currently in the process of receiving the official Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA Update. Check the phone’s notification screen and confirm the download of all these new firmware files.
Android 5.0.1 Lollipop build for the HTC One M8 is rolling out in phases, so you shouldn’t expect the OTA Update notification to pop-up right now. All the T-Mobile One M8 users should get the new firmware update before the end of this month for as long as they are running stock Android 4.4 KitKat on their devices. No One M8 smartphone is going to get the new Lollipop firmware files in case it is running a customized operating system instead of the stock Android builds released by either HTC or T-Mobile.
Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA Update for T-Mobile HTC One M8 comes with the brand new Material Design interface, improved Sense environment, new lock screen notifications control, Priority Mode, improved Notification menu with Intelligent notifications ranking, Recent multi-tasking feature, Settings search function added, Device Sharing capabilities, new Guest User support, Battery Power Saver Lollipop native function, full support for Android Runtime (ART) instead of the old Dalvik  and more. This new Android 5.0 build is probably one of the best operating system updates ever released for smartphones.
If you own an HTC One M8 and you’re on T-Mobile, then you should expect the new Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA Update to arrive and use a Wi-Fi connection in order to complete the download process. The download size of this new firmware is set at 632.7 MB.
The update is rolled out in phases, so it won’t reach all T-Mobile HTC One M8 users at the same time, so you can go to Settings and use the System Updates menu to look for new Lollipop 5.0 updating files.

HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update for T-Mobile to Launch February 9



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.

HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Now Available for Rogers and Telus Variants



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.

HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update to roll out for Canadian Owners Today



If you live in Canada and happen to have a HTC One M8 nearby, then we are recommending you to keep an eye on the notifications panel. Why? Because the HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is now being pushed to the Canadian owners of the device.
The announcement was made yesterday by HTC’s Mo Versi. He tweeted that the company received technical approval from Rogers regarding the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for HTC One M8 and that the roll out will start soon.
Back in November 2014, when Google made the Android 5.0 source code available for download, HTC promised to deliver the One M8 and One M7 Lollipop update within 90 days. After One M8 already got the update in several countries, now it’s time for the Canada-based owners to enjoy it.
As usual, the HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is being rolled out in phases. This means that it will not hit all terminals in the same time. You probably know already that as soon as your One M8 unit is ready to receive the new firmware, you should get a system update notification. Just tap on it and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also check for the update manually under Settings > General > About phone > Software updates > Check for software updates.
The Android 5.0 update for HTC One M8 arrives with Lollipop-specific goodies such as Material Design interface, multi-user support for phones, revamped notifications bar and quick settings, better battery statistics, Android Runtime (ART), lock screen notifications, card-based interface for recent, dynamic status bar, Smart Lock, and more. The update will also bring interface tweaks to HTC’s Sense 6.0.
Since the HTC One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop update could have a size of over 500 MB we are recommending you to download the update file using a stable Wi-Fi network. You know, just to avoid unwanted data charges.

HTC One M7 & One M8 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Delayed



There is some sad news for some of you HTC One M7 & One M8 owners out there. HTC has officially confirmed that it will not be able to live up to its promise of releasing the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the smartphones within 90 days of the latest version’s release from Google.
In a blog post by HTC’s Senior Vice President of product management, Mo Versi, HTC has claimed that the update has been delayed as some issues with Android 5.0 Lollipop need to be addressed before the update can be rolled out to customers. HTC is said to including a number of fixes to the issues with Lollipop and thus it expects that certain carrier versions of the One M7 and One M8 smartphones will not be receiving the Android Lollipop update within the 90 day timeframe that it had promised last year. HTC was in fact the first major Android OEM to detail its Lollipop update plans last year, and claimed that its flagship smartphones will receive the Lollipop update within 90 days of its release by Google.
This doesn’t affect the unlocked units though. Unlocked HTC One M8 owners in Canada and Europe have started receiving the Android 5.0 Lollipop update and we expect the update to roll out in more regions in the next few days. In Canada, most carrier variants of the One M8 have also started receiving the Lollipop update. Developer Edition of the One M8 has also been updated to Android 5.0 already. Owners of the HTC One M7 unlocked model can expect to receive the Android Lollipop soon as well, although it does look like the unlocked One M7 may have to wait longer than the 90 days promised by HTC earlier as the 90-day deadline ends on February 1.
Ever since HTC announced delays when releasing the Android Lollipop update to the Google Play Edition models of the One M7 and One M8 last year, we were worried that the same may happen with update for the regular variants. Unfortunately, that is exactly what is happening now.
HTC hasn’t provided a new timeframe now so we cannot be sure when the update will roll out now for the owners of carrier variants of the One M7 and One M8 smartphone. Update delays for carrier variants is nothing new at the same is the case with most smartphones. Since the carriers need to test a software update themselves for a few weeks before they release it to their customers, the update rollout is delayed for the carrier variants.
However, if you do not wish to wait and want to enjoy Android 5.0 Lollipop on your One M7 or One M8, you do have the option of flashing one of the many functional CM12 ports available on XDA. However, you will require an unlocked Bootloader for it, so if you have a locked Bootloader, you will need to wait until HTC releases the official update in the next few weeks.
