Not really. I mean no disrespect to that guy, but how in the loop is he? His Twitter profile and website just suggest he's a custom ROM developer. No clue as to whether he's involved with HTC.
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
He's been reliable in the past.
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Yeah, he provided confirmed leaks before. I hope he's wrong, though

Fair enough. I wasn't aware.

Might be even worse...

The Vice President for product managment at HTC pointed it out very clear --> https://twitter.com/moversi/status/629363931853758464

Seems like we aren´t getting Sense 7 anywhere soon. (as it´s tied to Android M)

Are we getting Android 5.1 with Sense 6 now or do we have to wait all the time until the Android M + Sense 7 Update is ready ?!

[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
LOL... just... ffs. I can't stand that anymore. This is my third and last htc phone. I really like sense and all, but they are treating their customers like sh*t. They totally blow M8 battery life with lollipop(please people spare me all that google fault thing as really close friend of mine rocks sony z3 compact with lollipop and his battery life was even a little bit better vs kitkat... oh, and from weeks he has 5.1 on his phone) and didn't even tried to fix it with some update... no, not even single update from 7 months. And now they won't even release sense 7 with 5.1 while they SAID they will release it with 5.1 when they didn't with 5.0.1... just... I can't even... abandoning all their phones except the current flagship. Disappointed as hell. :( /rant

As they are going soon they will not exist/will be bough from someone... and for sure all the skilled people left there will leave for more secured job. Just... f*ck. :(
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Yeah, it doesn't look good for them. And for us as well since I got an email from HTC Support regarding firmware update and they say I should be getting it in the end of November. I have T-Mobile Poland firmware, as many of people who bought the unlocked version here in Europe do (don't ask me why, I bought unlocked on Amazon Italy)

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I don't agree with you, they've been very thoughtful with us customers until now, especially regarding updates
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
The problem is they updated kitkat for animations and 3 new icons and battery diminished by 50% if by the end of september we dont get fixes for battery problems i unlock bootloader

And install kit kat rom
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Battery drain is Google problem not htc. The battery got bad with all manufacturers when they upgraded to Lollipop
[One (M8) General] forever_lol:
Actually...I've never had as big issue with wakelocks on my old Nexus 4 as on my m8.
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Yeah but there's lots of other samsung, Motorola, nexus, etc users complaining about the battery life after the Lollipop update all over the Internet. Am I wrong?

Not to mention lag problems that were supposedly fixed with the 5.1.1 update
[One (M8) General] tomlikesandroidsofar:
Sense 7 with M? Sounds more like a wishful hope from some people from inside than a plan.

What i hear is: at the moment no developement in progress for the m8, maybe someday in the future, when we have money again, maybe.

I am getting the impression that htc is really struggling hard (financially). More likely they are dying.

Hopefully i'm wrong and they still have one employee dedicated to the m8.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
Tend to agree with this, sadly. Who knows though.

If things are as bad as the media portrays, I can see HTC being bought out or going under although I seriously hope not.

Development for, relatively, old devices will hardly be the main priority for them. If financial matters don't improve I don't expect any further updates for the M8.

:(:(
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
I just hope guys that your predictions aren t true ?
[One (M8) General] hack14u:
What sucks is that HTC makes some of the greatest phones ever. But, people have no idea who they are. I have a M8 right now and people are always saying, wow nice phone, what is that. I tell them HTC and they're like, who? If it's not a Samsung then people get confused. When people think of Android, that's who they think of. Sad really. I didn't buy the M9 because it was so close to the M8, but maybe now I will just to show some love.
[One (M8) General] kamikaze_al:
I' be going for the M9+ if they Don't release the M10...... Such would be really sad, after a ton of Samsung genuine crap, I really did fall in love with the HTC one m8....
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Sad, yeah... but I think that's the main reasons for the delayed M8 update. HTC is totally lacking finances and I am sure every skilled developer they had already fled to other companies that have stable working environment and pays bonuses, etc. The only skilled people left are (obviously) concentrated updating M9/M9+ etc... so, yeah... maybe they try to cook some half-baked 5.1 update and if that's the case - most likely it will be bad, buggy and lacking new functions, i.e. sense 7. Good thing that we have devs here, but still without good base it's hard to cook good custom ROM. :/
[One (M8) General] chevyjohn01:
I wouldn't worry too much. HTC is certainly seeing losses in the market, however I've seen many companies use these kinds of situations to change themselves into something great. I'm optimistic that they will. As for the updates, it would be nice to see something new soon, but I have to agree that I'd rather not have one than to get a half finished buggy update. We will get sense 7 and Android M eventually. In the meantime, I enjoy my phone and everything it does currently.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 in a van down by the river.
[One (M8) General] tomlikesandroidsofar:
I agee: outstsandingly grat devices (m7, m8). As well as previous high end devices. Wouldnt have ever recommended anything else.

Please survive, htc.
[One (M8) General] The Tox:
Guys , we need to make somd noise if you want HTC to release 5.1/Sense7 for our device

Let's Retweet on twitter and make a #M8_need_update wave , make some noise , let them hear you voices , this phone is duying without updates from htc
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
Exactly. Just hope they keep up their good work.

:thumbup:
[One (M8) General] djlukas1983:
You're right, people don't know HTC at all. A friend of mine asked me one day what the phone is this (he was looking at my M8). I told him it's HTC ONE M8 and he asked HTC? Is this a kind of Samsung?
[One (M8) General] Gonib:
This is my first, and I hope not the last HTC phone. I just love everything on this phone. My wife have S5 (we bought them both in the same time) and M8 is sooo much better in every aspect over S5.

Hope they will find a way out of this situation, and we'll see M10,11...etc phones.

As for the sense7, I'm more then happy waiting on M+sense7, then some buggy 5.1.1 sense7.

I had Nokia N8 long time ago, and they died, I hope M8, M9 will not be the last HTC phones.
[One (M8) General] -ErrorFile-:
This is my 2nd HTC phone, software-wise it's great and really fast. It makes me happy everytime I listen to music on headphones. However, I still feel like I'm not 100 % satisfied - camera is really disappointing for a phone that cost me 800+ euros. I think I should try the toothpaste-trick if it helped to improve picture quality. :D I can't see any major scratches on the lenses, but maybe there is... There's no way that a last year's flagship phone has a camera that is this much of a potato. And in here (Finland), people happen to know about HTC - I was actually asked if their devices are any good a few days ago. I said that build quality is top-notch and software is light years ahead of Samsung, but that my M8 has a terrible camera. Hopefully we get the new Android-update soon! :)
[One (M8) General] Creative_X:
I had Magic,Desire,One X,One M7 and now One M8. I have no doubt that next phone gona be HTC again. Camera isn't matter to me. Build quality and sound are the most important. Any flagship today have a same hardwer,chipset,cpu,ram..main diferences are in user interface,Sense is great.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Ehhh honestly the camera is just OK, it sure isn't so bad but people keep overlooking the simple fact they upload thier so called "amazing quality photos" to facebook/instagram/whatever and the quality gets reduced by a lot, great gets downscaled to ok and ok stays at ok, when you show someone in-real-life a photo that was taken on the M8 it looks great and the same goes for other phones.

Either way the Audio on the M8 is where it shines, only the MX4 Pro/Iphone6/Nexus6 can somewhat match.

Also the screen alone justifies the price tag, The viewing angles are the best, the color reproduction is very accurate, you can actually see in the sunlight.

I've bought this phone over any other phone in early 2015, you would assume I have had more choices ;) the m8 was my choice and I am not disappointed.

Although I do want a nexus 6.
[One (M8) General] -ErrorFile-:
I don't even use any social media services, so I just view the pics I just took on my phone and then check them out on my PC's monitor. Pics look better on the phone's own screen, but that's hardly a surprise to anyone. Audio and battery life are both great! I can use my M8 for 2-3 days on a single charge on light-medium usage. During a 4-hour bus ride this weekend the battery percentage dropped from 93 to 78 when the bus arrived to the destination city. My S3 was always pretty low on battery after the same bus ride if I listened to music during the whole trip. Screen is also very nice, but I really want a bigger one with smaller bezels... I went and tested a Nexus 6 a few months ago - if I had the money for it, I would've bought it. My next phone is a 5,5-6 -incher for sure. The M8's screen size is the only "bad" thing I could ever say about it.

And while the aluminum body feels very sturdy, it's problematic during a normal (= ice cold and freezing) Finnish winter - it gave me daily small electric shocks the last winter if I touched my phone with dry/cold hands. This is the first and also the last aluminum phone for me, though I can understand why most people do love aluminum phones. :)

[One (M8) General] urra:
I've read the last ten pages here, but can't really figure out, it's there any reason NOT to update to 1.54.401.01? Except maybe slightly worse battery performance?

I'm using stock, bought in Sweden. Thank you!
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
No reason that I can think of.

Like you already know, just a slight decrease in battery performance, but even that might not be for everyone that updated.
[One (M8) General] sysconp1:
Just received update 1.54.401.10 in Ireland. Mostly stability fixes for the radio, fm radio and barometer, plus some other bits.
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
I have read in another thread that, after the new update, Firewater (a tool for achieving S-OFF on the phone) will not work anymore. However, I have also read some posts saying the exact opposite. If you are not S-OFF on your phone, and you think you will care for it in the future, you'd better do it now or wait for this aspect to be fully clarified.
[One (M8) General] urra:
Ok, thank you! Now I've already updated, so if I'm interested in S-OFF in the future I just have to hope that there will be a solution at the time.

So far everything works fine, will keep an eye on the battery to see if I see any decrease in battery performance.
[One (M8) General] O-2-L:
OTA

Has anyone had any issues with flashing the OTA?

When I DL'd it on the phone and went to recovery, TWRP, and tried to flash it it said it failed.

However I just noticed in the comment above about Firewater not working to S-OFF.

Firewater used to try, but failed, before for me but now it says it can't even try.

Any ideas?

I'm on 1.54.771.5 and the update is for 1.54.771.9

I have an Irish M8.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Won't work with custom recovery, you need stock recovery to do OTA updates.
[One (M8) General] O-2-L:
Aha, thanks.
[One (M8) General] pjckmen:
Oh yeah! I agree with the idea that there is a coincidence. Very Nice :)
[One (M8) General] el_Chi:
larso 308

Will this un-root the phone? I'm currently using TWRP.

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
Just flashing the stock recovery won't, installing the OTA will unroot it, but you can re-root it in no time by flashing TWRP again afterwards and installing SuperSU.zip. ;)
[One (M8) General] shatich:
Hello,

Do i need to make a factory reset after installing the update?
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
No, you don't. Doing it won't harm, if you have the time, but it's not necessary.

Despite this, I would strongly recommend doing a full Nandroid backup before updating.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Like Black Antitoon said. It unrooted my phone after the OTA update.

Not necessary, I didn't make a factory reset after the update.
[One (M8) General] metaphz:
If we need to verify if the update kills s-off I can try s-offing the gfs M8 she took the OTA already.
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
If both you and she don't mind, that would be nice. Don't do that if you feel it would be a problem (e.g.: she hasn't even rooted and would never do that --> then just stay stock and avoid problems with warranty)

I read that somebody said that firewater suddenly exited without any message, which is different from the 'whelp' message many people are getting.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Well it seems the consensus here is that if your device starts with 90 you wouldn't be able to S-OFF at this point in time anyways, so maybe before you try and go S-OFF just copy and paste the following command in command prompt. Open command prompt in folder where your fastboot.exe is(by default it'll be in platform-tools folder)

adb shell cat /sys/devices/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/cid

If it starts with 90 you don't even have to bother to try and S-OFF :good:

[One (M8) General] navid0308:
How big does it feel compared to the m8? Esp when you walk around with it in your pocket?
[One (M8) General] GraveDigger176:
is a bit bigger as the m8 but no different for me if i have in the pocket, can write and use it with one hand :D

it is much faster and snappier as the m8 the pics are awesome so in my eyes much better as the m8 and by far also better as the pieceof**** that called m9 :good::good::good::good:
[One (M8) General] hack14u:
Wow, pure Google vs a skinned ROM. Of course it's going to be snappier. We are all here because we love HTC and Sense, not to hear how boring a N6 is.

[One (M8) General] JernejB2:
This is my third HTC, and I was always very pleased with build quality, but some things started to bother me...

1. slow connection to WiFi, you just wait and wait and wait and if you go to settings nothing happens!?

2. Camera seems so slow and unresponsive sometimes its really hard to belive.

3. Sometimes i use my phone for playing COC and the phone heats up tremedesly.

4. I was always a fan of Sense, but since my father bought Huawei P8, the whole enthusiasm has gone. I think Huawei P8 has much more better System UI than Sense is right now (my oppinion).

5. Last year I had a flagship, but this year no up to date updates for me!? WTF!?

6. I really dont understand the companies trying to put into smartphones better processors, more RAM, bigger, better screen etc, but they dont give so much atrention to the system UI?? My next phone will deff. be one with fingerprint scaner and good UI.... maybe its time to switch to iPhone.
[One (M8) General] Justin2003:
I think that i convert my M8 to GPE. Then without Sense 7 but an operating system that is up to date.
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
Dunno why but I find stock android ugly. It's clean I know but I'm used to sense. Also I use sd card for storing photos as I have just 16gb internal. Gpe doesn't let me do that. It's these little things that make me keep coming back to sense!
[One (M8) General] -ErrorFile-:
My M8 is also a bit slow with WiFi's, even if I'm sitting next to my router... Galaxy S3 worked flawlessly even on the other side of this apartment. Sense is a good-looking UI and also fast, but it's also a bit... Boring? My M8 also can get quite hot, but when I switched the Dalvik to ART, during the conversion the phone felt like it's on fire. It literally burned fingers when held in hand. That was the only time it got that hot, though. I just went and ordered a Nexus 6, I completely fell in love with it when I tested it again on the store - so long, HTC. :highfive:
[One (M8) General] djlukas1983:
Try to use LolliGPE rom. It's a GPE rom with Sense 7 inside. It has Sense Camera with option to store photos on external SD card. It has bunch of other Sense edition stuff.

The only con of this rom is battery life, which is pretty bad.

If it is next May, then we wont get it at all, HTC will use the excuse that the device is more than 2 years old and only promises 2 years of updates, just like it did with the M7.

first of all get rid of the all in one tool kit and learn to use android sdk, then update it yourself to the latest version, the RUU and instructions is here: http://www.androidayos.com/2015/01/...-android-5-0-1-ruu-4-16-401-10-now-available/

HTC canceled the 5.1 update for all 2014 devices, including M8. :)

[One (M8) General] tunnex190:
I am waiting to read this update from HTC website.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
Well I think HTC has made a big mistake in not updating M8 with 5.1.

I know they need to concentrate on M9 and try to turn around its lack of sales, but one of the main reasons it isn't selling is because the M8 is probably, in the real world, just as good. So, anyone with an M8 is goin to be hacked off about no 5.1 update, especially as it was announced it was goin to get it, and those folk may well feel let down and NOT buy an HTC handset again.

Basically, it could further damage future HTC sales.

Just my opinion.
[One (M8) General] Neo XL:
This is exactly, what i think about HTC. It´s a big mistake, to annoy the users of the M8, because they are the buyers of tomorrow. M9 was not a big deal - too expensive, in the specs to near by the M8, much trouble at the MWC, service problems and not enough optical innovations. M10 will not be selled only by new customers.

Angry old customers look around at other manufacturers - i think, there is no light in the sky for HTC, if they will go on in this way. For me M8 was my last HTC after 13 years with around 30 HTC devices (some twice), because i´m very upset about updates and i have made an extremely bad experience with the support in this year.
[One (M8) General] Daekin:
He says they will update directly to 6.0, so no big deal for me...
[One (M8) General] woodydog:
I feel the same as the other 2 posters. This is my 4th htc phone and the lack of updates this year is upsetting. Now you know how they are going to update the m9 next year. So why would I buy a m10. Im ditching htc when the LG nexus drops
[One (M8) General] Neo XL:
The problem with updates is this: What HTC announces today, is the disclaimer of tomorrow - look at the promises they made to the owners of the minis... now they don´t get the update to lollipop - Mini2 is also one year old. In a few month you may read, that the hardware of the m8 is not able to get the update to 6.0, as they´ve done it many times in the last years. The developers here on XDA showed, that this wasn´t the truth. HTC cheats their customers, when they buy a new device. Updates for two years, but they don´t tell, how many updates in this time. The actual market situation is self-inflicted.
