Lollipop release 90 days after Google's code release - Sprint HTC One (M8)

http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/
HTC Customers and Enthusiasts,
HTC is excited about the new features in Android L release and we can’t wait to share them with you. We are committed to updating our flagship HTC One family as fast as possible as part of our HTC Advantage program. We will begin rolling out updates to the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7) worldwide within 90 days of receiving final software from Google, followed shortly thereafter by other One family members and select devices. HTC Advantage protects your smartphone investment, ensuring you have the best smartphone experience long after purchase.

Pretty interesting promise. :fingers-crossed:

Just means Sprint gets their hands on it, we still have to wait.

Given Sprint's recent track record, we might have it early as well. They have been the first to release updates to flagships a few times lately.

And who said it would be lollipop? The fact that they haven't announced a dessert indicates that they may be trying to work out another sponsorship deal (lemonhead? life saver?).

It could be licorice, laffy taffy, lemon merengue pie, etc.

Nothing interesting here.... They always give the 90day from release talk with all main devices set to get the update...

Ever since I started working for Sprint as a tech I've never seen any other carriers bring updates as fast as them. I had att when I first joined rocking note 3 so when Kit Kat was released I seen it release for sprint then waited 3 month to get my update plus all the locked bootloader blah blah... blah... I hate att as a customer standpoint can't wait for tmo and sprint to join.

Doesn't matter which carrier is the fastest at releasing it, it still doesn't change the fact that all that means is we have to wait after Sprint gets their hands on it. Right? If you want to talk about which carriers are the fastest at releasing go ahead and do so without quoting me and trying to make an invalid point, thanks!

I hope they make it Lifesavers.

The carrier piece will most likely be part of the 90 days. Verizon and AT&T will be the longest and may go a little beyond that but HTC has been good lately at getting code out of their shop in 30 days and getting the first runs to carriers.
Like anything else time will tell...

I'm very happy with my one. I haven't had the need to hop on here in a while just because of how perfect everything is!

Anyone going to get the Galaxy S?

What does everyone think? 4" may be the sweet spot between big screen size and too big. I don't know how I feel about even less physical buttons though as I already think it is the stupidest thing ever to not have dedicated send/end, but that is just me.
Not while they've skinned Android and replaced some Google integration with Yahoo integration.
No led flash? Are you f*cking kidding me?
I like the S-AMOLED and the proper multi-touch screen. However, having used the N1, I feel that it's just about as large a smartphone as I'd like to have in my pocket.
Not having to jump through as many hoops to get it customized, rooted, unlocked, etc. is also a nice thing about being on the N1.
Why would I want that when I have an N1?
Nexus 2
T-Mobile Vision http://phandroid.com/2010/06/25/dual-core-4-3-inch-htc-vision-headed-for-t-mo-this-year/
I've had a G1, and a N1, I'll wait until the next "Google" phone's out to upgrade, I think
If it gets rooted and with a stock rom i'm going for it. Samsung makes great hardware. The software sucks big time.

Yeah I'm with you I'll wait for the new Nexus One every phone on T-Mobile that's made by HTC and only has stock Android is the phone Google uses for the next year. Thanks to Froyo the Nexus One has been the best Android phone until at least August when the Droid X gets 2.2 and gets a speed boost. Also you know that the Galaxy S will not get to use the free tethering that people with the Nexus enjoy. So to the original question NOPE
Sent from my Nexus One
If it is rooted why couldn't you use wireless tether? Wow I did not think everyone would be so against it. Its already rooted though I thought.

If I upgrade phones from my Nexus One its going to be for these features:
- Vanilla android
- 4.3' screen
- Can use the same $50/mo even more plus T-mobile voice + data
I'm more than happy to play the waiting game with my Nexus One until this phone comes out...
If the guys at Samsung weren't so cheap to cut corners and actually included an led flash I might have considered the GalaxyS... but I can't support such obvious penny pinching cost cutting by Samsung
I love its GPU power and the Super-AMOLED, but for me to go from the N1 I need :
dualcore
>WVGA
stock android
[email protected]
I don't expect that for another 6 months or so, so I'll be keeping my Nexus One until then
The Galaxy S is also plasticky and ugly

Because it is a list of current phones that will be upgraded. The D3 is a current phone that is not listed, which means it will most likely not be getting an upgrade. However, no one knows for sure
I'm not sure it indicates anything. The D3 isn't listed in the list below either where all of the other phones are.

This was my thought.. that top banner of text seems as more of a teaser for those who just purchased their bionic and razr to silence the people worried if their recently purchased phone is going to receive android 4.0.
The Droid 3 isn't listed on the page at all and obviously it exists.. so I don't think that upgrade page means a thing. I would assume those would just be the first to get it then other phones that are capable would have 4.0 implemented. Since the D3 is so similar, I doubt the bionic will receive 4.0 without the D3 being considered..
http://phandroid.com/2011/10/24/mot...-release-beginning-with-razr-bionic-and-xoom/
A few sites(check google) say that these lists are just motorola confirming which phones will get ics over the next few weels starting with the razr, bionic and xoom.

Has anyone noticed that only verizon moto phones are listed? That cannot be a complete list, what about the photon? The atrix 2? I highly doubt this is a complete list of devices that can be upgraded. This is just for hype, companies like to do this so people buy their phones for the upgrade. If this is the complete list, our beloved Droid 3 has booted ICS already so there is no need to worry.
I'm probably going to thoroughly ***** a verizon rep out. I'm not big on ICS to be honest but the fact that they dropped this, then like 10 other phones in the few months following is terrible business practicing. My phone shouldn't be obsolete in 2 weeks.
I may just drop Verizon and goto Sprint while it's still got unlimited data. Tho that would probably leave me with $600 in termination fees. Good thing I got credit growing from things bigger than Verizon?
Page obviously needs an update on all the new phones, looks like it's 6+ months out of date so it has no real relevant information for new phones at all.
We will more then likely get ICS.
-smc
That's technology. You don't wanna be outdated get an iPhone. With the overclocks, custom ROMs, Hash working on ICS, and everything, why wouldn't our phone keep up? I mean it's got the hardware to be current for a while minus 4G.

Black Sprint One coming in 64GB version only?

Just saw this thread in the international One forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242334
Apparently a Sprint store employee mentioned that the black One would only be available as a 64GB model once AT&T's exclusive runs out. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
Yes I heard the same thing from best buy yesterday

im a sprint rep and i can confirm that your information is false.
yes their is a back order yes att does have exclusivity on the 64gb version
sprint is only getting 32gb versions black and silver. i know this because on the 9th i was invited to a HTC event where only 40 reps in the phoenix metro area were asked to go and we got full info straight from HTC. That is also where i received my HTC ONE a week and a half prior to release.
dont get me wrong i would love a 64gb version but 64 is the att exclusive just not the color.

Just guessing that once att exclusivity ends others will get a 64gb. They must have given HTC incentives to be the only one.

Key Lime Pie?

Do you guy think that our little phone will be able to handle the new OS?
I donno. Most people doubted it running 4.2 and now it runs better than even 4.0! I hope to have a new phone by that time, anyway.

Everyone will have an s3 by then T-Mobile is already in talk about offering the s3 for 0 down with qualifying credit with its new financing program in last months sales meeting I can buy an refurbish s3 for around 149.00 but I'm sure the price will drop by then. For this phone I'm sure someone will figure it out but if not the s3 will be at an decent price.

If I get another phone I would go big hopefully note 3 is out by then.
I'm on the no contract plan so I just have to pay $55 a month, but my next device will probably be a Nexus...
*pops up out of nowhere*
First of all, KLP is probably 6 months away at least. There's been numerous sources and *ahem* confirmations (still not 100%, but enough evidence to be believed) that the next Android version to be released at I/O next week will indeed be 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Secondly, as long as camcory, smartguy, Tim, and the other geniuses are still around here, then yes, I do see the Exhibit running the next update. May take a while for various drivers (wifi, bt, gps, and camera come to mind), but I bet they'll be hard at work to get things going. It's the typical ongoing cycle non-Nexus phones always have to deal with. Speaking of which....

There was just a story on VR-Zone (June-12-2013) and they said that Google is optimizing KLP to run better on devices with 512MiB, and it's coming out in October. I'm sure i'll still have this phone by then, so hopefully somebody will be able to get it working.

AT&T UCU2AOA1 4.4.4 Fail!

UCU2AOA1 4.4.4 Fail!
First off Android 4.4.4 has been out since June of 2014 (thanks for the speedy update AT&T) wouldn't you think this would have been an update that fixes any previous issues and possibly improved upon? 8 Months later... UCU2AOA1 4.4.4
The camera does not make an audible noise and does not turn green anymore when in focus.
The gallery app has text overflowing if the album has long characters.
App drawer lags every time you scroll a page.
*Bloatware*
Mail - ATT Mail
AT&T Live
Uber
Remote Support GTFO out of my phone!
Also have a look at your application manager under all, you will see a lot of new things that were never there before and it's not just for the Android 4.4.4 update. Be sure to check out the one that looks like a white pacman ghost (Sorry forgot the name of it) NSA?
487MB of pure garbage!
Thanks AT&T for more bloatware and bugs when Lollipop has been out since November 2014 .

I'm so sick of this crap that this is the last subsidised phone I'll bother with. Sadly, AT&Ts network is the best for me as far as service goes. There's no point in taking their phones, though. The meager savings are not worth the hassle.

fwiw, if you didn't buy one outright before, you probably ended paying more than full retail for it over the lifetime of a 2 yr contract. probably.
and yes, locked BL is a PITA for those who want to play. it's nothing new though, and att apparently has a history.

I think it should be illegal, they are infringing on owners of their phones. Not to their software and at their will. I made the sad sad mistake of picking up an unlocked att s5 and I'm on T-Mobile service since att phones work and I had an s3 running on 5.0.2 for months and loved it so I got this phone with intentions of running a custom ROM because that is what android is all about and after purchasing the hardware I should legally be able to use any software I'd like, not the previous service provider. Does that sound unreasonable?
Depends on the agreement made when buying the phone. Its all very on the second hand market because I'm not sure what the original contract states ... I would not be surprised to find very restrictive verbiage in the AT&T contract, whether enforceable or not.
The true solution is to look to the vendors selling open devices from the beginning and stay with them. Unfortunately this will almost always rule out true leading hardware devices as the prime carriers will lock them up.
