Pocket-Lint: HTC has released a statement to Pocket-lint about the delays that have hit its flagship smartphone, the HTC One. The newly launched and much-anticipated Android phone was originally due out on 15 March (a day after the announcement of its biggest rival, the Samsung Galaxy S4), but it soon became clear that its release would be delayed across most if not all regions.
The HTC One M7 is one of the best smartphones of yester-year and even though Android 5.0 Lollipop is still not being released for the handset, users who are not in the mood to wait until next year might have a solution. The LiquidSmooth ROM fir the HTC One M7 is now available and is based on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop AOSP.
I wonder why the initial 5.0.1 Lollipop rollout didn't include the 5.0.2 features?
The Android 5.0 Lollipop update has been sent out to most Google Play Edition devices, as well as some Motorola and LG smartphones, but we are yet to see it show up on the HTC One M8 and One M7. After numerous delays caused by Google not accepting the build propositions from HTC, we can finally say that we have an official Android 5.0 Lollipop update release date for the HTC One M8 and One M7.
Not too far behind the nexus 5. It's a great update significant improvement to my battery life.
The HTC One (M8) for Windows might feature an uncanny resemblance to the Android-based One (M8), down to the looks, camera and battery size, but interestingly, despite its equally sized, 2600mAh battery, the Windows Phone 8.1 device has longer battery life.
android needs to go back to removing some of the default apps installed. infact id rather have a lighweight, bare bones OS and install each app as i need.
